Should the car be in P or N gear when warming up?
1 Answers
When warming up the car, it should be in P gear. Below is a related introduction to the P and N gears in a car:1. P gear: P gear is a special neutral gear that mechanically locks part of the transmission output shaft to secure the vehicle. Its function is to act as a brake after parking, preventing the vehicle from moving. For practical safety reasons, car manufacturers place the P gear in the first position of the gear shift console and set an internal mechanism that forces the car key to be removable only when the gear shift lever is moved to the P gear position. Therefore, P gear is specifically designed for long-term parking in automatic transmission cars.2. N gear: N gear, also known as neutral gear, is used to disconnect the power transmission between the engine and the transmission.
