Can an automatic transmission car be pushed when in N gear?

An automatic transmission car can be pushed when in N gear. This is because the N gear is the neutral position, which does not engage the gears of the transmission. It simply puts the transmission in a no-load state, making it more fuel-efficient than any other gear. Below is an introduction to the various gears of an automatic transmission: P gear: Abbreviation for 'parking,' the parking gear. When shifted into P gear, the vehicle's transmission is locked. R gear: Abbreviation for 'Reverse,' the reverse gear. Used when reversing the car; shifting into R gear allows the car to move backward. N gear: Abbreviation for 'neutral,' the neutral gear. D gear: Abbreviation for 'drive,' the drive gear. D gear is the most commonly used gear; shifting into D gear and pressing the accelerator allows the car to move forward. S gear: Abbreviation for 'sport,' the sport gear. Many car models refer to this as sport mode. In this mode, the car's power increases, but fuel consumption also rises.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience driving automatic transmission cars, I once had to push my car in neutral to a nearby gas station to use their charging station when my battery suddenly died. In neutral gear, the vehicle is disconnected from the engine, allowing it to be pushed freely without resistance. However, it's crucial to remember: always turn off the engine before pushing to avoid losing steering or braking control; also, firmly engage the handbrake to ensure stability, otherwise, the car may roll and cause injuries. I've heard of a friend who lost control while pushing a car on a slope and crashed into a wall—the consequences were too costly. Pushing is suitable for short-distance emergencies on flat ground, such as moving a few meters to a safer spot, but it's best to keep jumper cables handy for battery issues. Regular battery maintenance and electrical system checks can prevent these awkward situations, as frequent pushing can also wear out tires and suspension.

What to do if the exhaust pipe of a new car is severely rusted and cannot be claimed in another location?

If the vehicle was purchased from an authorized 4S store or manufacturer, and the vehicle malfunction is not caused by external factors, with complete maintenance records and within the warranty period, you can apply for nationwide warranty service. Usually, in the vehicle warranty manual, the car manufacturer promises that the vehicle's design and manufacturing have anti-corrosion performance. Now, during the warranty period, the large-scale rusting of the exhaust pipe indicates that the exhaust pipe has not met its designed performance and has quality defects. Once the warranty expires, replacing the exhaust pipe will incur high costs. To prevent the exhaust pipe from rusting, you can take the following three measures: 1. Pay attention to the choice of driving conditions. For example, try to choose better road conditions such as avoiding salt-alkali land or muddy roads, and clean it promptly. 2. Choose the parking spot carefully. It is best not to park outdoors, especially at night, as dew is likely to condense on the exhaust pipe, slowly causing corrosion. Therefore, it is best to park in an underground garage if available. 3. Try to avoid short-distance driving. During short-distance driving, the water in the exhaust pipe is not discharged in time, making the exhaust pipe prone to oxidation. It is best to drain the accumulated water in the exhaust pipe before parking and turning off the engine.
