Does Braking in Neutral Gear Damage the Car?
1 Answers
Braking in neutral gear does not damage the car. Below are the reasons and precautions for braking in neutral gear: Reasons for braking in neutral gear: When the car is in neutral gear, the engine is idling. At this time, only the braking system is working when the brakes are applied, which correspondingly increases the braking distance. Especially when going downhill, using this braking method can easily lead to accidents. Precautions for braking in neutral gear: During daily driving, it is important to anticipate road conditions ahead to avoid emergency braking or sudden stops. Frequent hard braking can damage the car's braking system, reduce the lifespan of brake pads, and in severe cases, may even affect the car's engine.
