Should the Handbrake Be Engaged When in N Gear?
1 Answers
Engaging the handbrake is necessary when in N gear. Below is a relevant introduction about gear positions: Straight-line gear positions are easy to engage: This gear design is very common, and many brands of automatic transmission vehicles currently use this type. The advantage of this straight-line gear design is that shifting is relatively straightforward, while the disadvantage is that it's easy to engage the wrong gear when operating blindly. Staggered gear positions are not easy to engage: Staggered gear positions, also known as serpentine gear positions, are another very common design for automatic transmission gear positions. Their advantages and disadvantages are exactly the opposite of straight-line gear positions. The advantage is that it's not easy to engage the wrong gear, while the disadvantage is that the operation is not as direct as with straight-line gear positions.
