Do I Need to Press the Brake When Shifting from N to D While Stationary?
1 Answers
When shifting from N (Neutral) to D (Drive) while the vehicle is stationary, it is necessary to press the brake pedal. Here are some additional details: 1. If the brake pedal is not pressed, the car would immediately start moving forward after shifting from N to D, which is unsafe. Therefore, car manufacturers have added a safety feature that only allows shifting from N to D when the brake pedal is pressed. 2. Automatic transmission vehicles have both N and D gears. N stands for Neutral, while D stands for Drive. The D gear is the most frequently used gear in automatic cars, as it is required whenever the vehicle moves forward. The Neutral gear can be used when the car is parked.
