Can automatic transmission cars be put in neutral gear?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars should not be shifted into neutral while driving. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Hazards of neutral gear: The automatic transmission requires lubrication. When the gear is placed in N (neutral) while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the temperature of internal components to rise and lead to complete damage. 2. Gear shifting method when starting: If the car stalls suddenly while driving, you can quickly shift to N gear to start the engine under safe conditions. Automatic transmission cars can only be started in P (park) or N (neutral) gear. 3. Meaning of neutral gear: Neutral gear means that the vehicle's gear lever is not placed in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely separated from the engine. Automatic transmission means that the driver does not need to shift gears manually, and the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear according to the driving speed and traffic conditions.
