Does Shutting Off the Engine in Neutral Gear Harm the Car?
1 Answers
Shutting off the engine in neutral gear does not harm the car. Methods to save car fuel: 1. Try to avoid sudden braking; maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead while driving and avoid frequent braking. 2. Park in the shade whenever possible. If parking in the sun, do not immediately turn on the air conditioning after driving. First, open the windows to let the flowing air take away the heat inside the car, then turn on the air conditioning for better fuel efficiency. 3. Make turns smoothly and steadily. When deceleration is needed, use engine braking by easing off the throttle, shifting to a lower gear, and applying the brakes while engaging the clutch. Neutral gear typically refers to the state where the vehicle's gear lever is not in any forward or reverse position, completely disengaging the transmission from the drive wheels.
