Should I Shift to Neutral (N) When Waiting at a Traffic Light?
1 Answers
Whether to shift to N gear depends on the situation. Specifically, it depends on the waiting time. Below are the scenarios based on the duration of waiting at a traffic light: 1. When the red light wait time is short: The car does not need to be shifted into N gear. Keeping the car in drive (D) while pressing the brake exerts some pressure on the transmission. 2. When the red light wait time is long: You can shift into N gear to give your tired feet a break. To avoid unnecessary issues, it's advisable to shift to N gear during prolonged traffic light waits. This not only saves fuel and reduces emissions but also makes the ride more comfortable and quieter for passengers.
