Should the Handbrake Be Engaged When in N Gear?
1 Answers
Whether to engage the handbrake when in N gear depends on the parking duration: 1. For very short stops, simply pressing the brake pedal is sufficient; 2. For stops longer than half a minute, shift to N gear and engage the handbrake. The correct method to start an automatic transmission car is: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake to start the engine; 4. Warm up the car while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake; 6. Gradually release the foot brake and smoothly press the accelerator to start. The gears in an automatic transmission car are: 1. P for Parking/Start; 2. R for Reverse; 3. N for Neutral; 4. D for Drive (forward); 5. L for Low gear; 6. S for Sport mode; 7. OD for Overdrive.
