How to Shift to Neutral in an Automatic Transmission?
1 Answers
Any forward gear can be shifted to Neutral (N) at any time, but shifting from Park (P) or Reverse (R) to Neutral requires pressing the brake first. The vehicle must be brought to a complete stop by pressing the brake before shifting from Neutral to any other gear. However, under special circumstances, Neutral can be shifted directly to a forward gear, though this may damage the transmission. Turn on the power (without starting the engine), press the brake, and shift gears. (First shift to Neutral, then start the engine, and then shift to Drive (D)). Release the parking brake, lift your foot off the brake, and start moving.
