Should You Use N or P Gear at a Red Light?
1 Answers
When waiting at a red light, shift to N gear, and use P gear when parking. The correct methods for using an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. P stands for Parking, the parking gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, at which time the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2. R stands for Reverse-gear, the reverse gear. Used when reversing. 3. N stands for None, the neutral gear. Used for temporary stops (such as at a red light). 4. D stands for Drive, the forward gear. Used when moving forward. 5. L stands for Low, the low gear. Used when going downhill. 6. S stands for Sport mode, used for high-speed driving.
