Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting from N to D?
1 Answers
Shifting from N to D does not require pressing the brake. When starting the car, shifting from P to D passes through R, which causes a reverse impact on the transmission, potentially damaging it over time. Below are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Gear selection while waiting at a red light. In fact, when waiting for a short red light, keeping the car in D while pressing the brake is fine. However, for longer durations, this can overheat the brake pads, leading to wear. 2. Avoid pressing the tires against obstacles when parking. Pressing the tires against obstacles is particularly bad for the car.
