Is it okay to turn off the engine in N gear?

[LeCayden]

For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear should not be left in N (Neutral) after turning off the engine. Short-term placement in N gear: The N gear in automatic transmission vehicles can be used for short-term parking when the vehicle is completely stopped. For example, you can use N gear when waiting at a red light. At this time, the power connection between the engine and the transmission is cut off. Since the automatic transmission is designed such that the traction force for forward movement disappears in N gear and the engine power is reduced, using N gear for short-term parking can save fuel. Long-term placement in N gear may cause the car to roll: If the gear is left in N after turning off the engine in an automatic transmission vehicle, the car will be in an unstable state. On uneven roads, the car may roll, which is very dangerous.
