Do I need to press the brake when shifting from N to D gear?
1 Answers
Shifting from N to D gear can be done without pressing the brake, or you can choose to press the brake while shifting. Both methods are acceptable. Here are the relevant details: 1. Automatic transmission models: When shifting gears, pressing the brake is required to complete the shift, which is designed for driving safety. However, shifting from D to neutral while driving does not require pressing the brake. 2. Neutral coasting: Similarly, shifting from neutral to D gear does not require pressing the brake due to the design structure of the transmission. This shifting method does not harm the engine. However, it is not recommended to coast in neutral while driving, as prolonged neutral coasting can damage the car's transmission.
