Automatic transmission vehicles cannot coast in neutral. When driving in D (Drive) gear, it is not possible to directly shift into N (Neutral) gear; the vehicle must come to a complete stop before shifting into N gear. Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission is not feasible. Shifting into neutral reduces the lubrication effectiveness of the transmission, and prolonged high-speed coasting can accelerate transmission wear. The gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. P (Park) gear: Used when parking, engaging this gear mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling; 2. R (Reverse) gear; 3. N (Neutral) gear; 4. D (Drive) gear, also known as the driving gear.

What gas is used when a car burns gas?

When a car burns gas, it uses natural gas. Here is a related introduction about cars burning gas: Formation: Fossil fuels refer to petroleum or coal formed from plants and animals over hundreds of millions of years of evolution underground. Petroleum cracking produces natural gas, which is a non-renewable energy source. Note: The combustion products of natural gas are different from those of fuel ethanol. Fully combusted ethanol only produces carbon dioxide and water, and methanol is no exception. However, methanol is corrosive to metals, various alloys, and rubber products, so only ethanol, which poses no issues, is chosen as the fuel for unleaded gasoline.

Should the tensioner pulley be replaced when changing the belt?

When replacing the belt, it is necessary to replace the tensioner pulley. Here is an extended introduction about the tensioner pulley: 1. Structure: The tensioner pulley mainly consists of a fixed housing, tension arm, wheel body, torsion spring, rolling bearing, and spring bushing. It can automatically adjust the tension according to the different tightness of the belt, ensuring the stability, safety, and reliability of the transmission system. 2. Function: The tensioner pulley is a wearable part in automotive components. Over time, belts tend to stretch. Some tensioner pulleys can automatically adjust the belt tension. Additionally, with a tensioner pulley, the belt operates more smoothly, reduces noise, and prevents slipping. The function of the tensioner pulley also includes adjusting the tightness of the timing belt.
