What does N mean in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, N stands for Neutral. This gear is used when starting the car, towing, or during temporary stops (such as at a red light). Precautions for using the gears in an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear, and the shift lever must be depressed with the brake pedal when shifting out of P gear. 2. When switching between N and D gears, there is no need to press the shift button, and shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear does not require pressing the shift button. 3. Never shift into N gear while driving to coast, as the automatic transmission requires lubrication, and when the gear is placed in N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and result in complete damage. 4. Never push into P gear while driving an automatic transmission car. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears must be done only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
