Should You Put the Car in N or P Gear When Washing?
1 Answers
When washing the car, you should put it in N gear. Automatic car washes are divided into tunnel car wash machines, touchless automatic car wash machines, and reciprocating car wash machines. Regardless of the type, you need to put the car in N gear during an automatic car wash, especially for tunnel car wash machines. During the automatic washing process, the car moves forward with the conveyor belt. If you put it in P gear at this time, it may cause damage to the transmission. An automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations.
