Does Coasting in Neutral Gear Cause Difficulty in Re-engaging Gear?
1 Answers
When driving a motor vehicle down a long slope, coasting in neutral gear can cause difficulty in re-engaging the gear. Below is an introduction to the various gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P gear: This is the parking gear, which uses the mechanical device inside the transmission to lock the rotating parts of the car. It must be used only when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, when the car is turned off, the gear must be in P. 2. N gear: This is the neutral gear. Generally, when making a brief stop, the car is put into neutral. At this time, the right foot can leave the brake pedal to rest. However, if on a slope, the brake must still be pressed to prevent the car from rolling, unless the handbrake or electronic brake is engaged. 3. D gear: This is the drive gear. When in D gear, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed. The transmission will automatically determine the appropriate gear based on the accelerator pressure and vehicle speed, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting.
