Every new car actually has a break-in period, but for today's vehicles, there is no need to deliberately break them in—just drive normally. Specific explanations are as follows: 1. The manual states that no special break-in is required: Many vehicle user manuals provide specific instructions regarding "break-in." For example, Hyundai and Kia manuals mention under "Vehicle Break-in Procedures" that the first sentence states, "This vehicle does not require any special break-in." 2. Advancements in manufacturing technology: The main reason why no special break-in is needed is due to improvements in manufacturing processes, as manufacturers have already taken these factors into account.

What letter represents neutral in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission neutral is represented by the letter N. More information about the gears is as follows: P: Parking gear, starting gear. The wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. R: Reverse gear, used when reversing. N: Neutral gear, for temporary parking. D: Drive gear, forward gear. The transmission automatically shifts between gears 1-5 based on speed and throttle conditions. S: Sport mode. Engaging this gear allows free gear shifting but increases fuel consumption.
