Is It Necessary to Press the Brake When Shifting Between D and N Gears?
1 Answers
Whether you need to press the brake when shifting from D to N gear depends on the situation. First, it's important to understand the typical scenarios where you might engage the N gear, such as after pressing the brake to start the engine and momentarily zoning out while shifting through the N gear, leaving the car in N gear. In this case, you need to keep your foot on the brake or engage the handbrake. Shifting between different gears: 1. From P to R and R to P: You must press the shift lock and the brake. 2. From R to N: No need to press the shift lock or the brake. 3. From N to R: You must press the shift lock and the brake. 4. From N to D: You must press the shift lock and the brake. 5. From D to S: You must press the shift lock, but no need to release the throttle or press the brake. 6. From S to D: Simply push the lever; no need to release the throttle or press the brake.
