Thank you for you words of wisdom :P. On the automatic, there is no "D" labeled: only D3, 2, 1, etc. My last car only had 1, 2, and D (no "D3" labeled).

For the one with 3D, there actually are left and right.
Left is 3 and right is D.
Maybe it's the other way if your handle is on the right side.
I don't know but if it is, then it has D on the left and 3 on the right?

The D is on the right and the 3 is on the left which I thought was a weird set up. It's very different from any car....even my grandmother's old toyota.
