auto cars enquiry.....

I'm driving a new auto1.3 car. I notice that suring starting up the car....means clanking the engine to ignite, the ladder diagram which shows the P R N D S L thing lifhts up both P and D. Is this normal as it's my 1st time driving auto car....
Another qns is, when I change the gear from P to D, sometimes there is a jerking effect......is this normal also??

You gotta refer back to your distributor to check if it's a normal sign or refer to someone else who has the same car as you...
Different car has diffferent wirings, so what seem normal to people may not be normal to you.
Regarding Question 2,
P = Parked position...
Changing to D position, the torque convertor need to engage, so a minor jerk is normal
If it's a huge jerk, time to change gearbox or go for ATF Flush. -

Thanks bro.... -
You mentioned that the P and the D both light up at the same time? Thats odd because the car can only be in one position at any time i.e. P for park, N for neutral, R for reverse, D for drive , 3 for gears 1-2-3, and 2 for gears 1-2. Some cars have 1 for first gear only. What is S? Slow? Sport? What is L low gears? Mine is P/N/R/D/3/2 and its a C180 Benz. The slight jerk is very normal when the gear activates, but some cars do not have this jerk at all depending on the refinement of their designs.

the double light up for P and D is only when I start the engine.....after that the D light will go off.....think its some warning signal or wat.....jus read the manual saying if the transmission got error the D will blink....
