Should You Use P Gear or N Gear for Temporary Parking on the Roadside?
1 Answers
For long-term parking, use P gear, while for short-term parking, N gear can be used. Automatic transmissions include P, R, N, and D gears. The relevant details are as follows: 1. P—Parking gear, also known as the start gear: When the vehicle is parked and not in use, placing the gear in this position mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling. 2. R—Reverse gear: Used for reversing the vehicle. 3. N—Neutral gear: Used for temporary parking (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear is neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be applied. 4. D—Drive gear, also known as the driving gear: Used for moving forward.
