What does the N gear in an automatic transmission mean?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission's N gear is the neutral gear, which can be engaged when stopping at traffic lights or parking for more than 30 seconds, aiming to cut off the power transmission between the input and output shafts inside the transmission. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car are: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after engaging a gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. The shift lever must be removed from P gear by stepping on the brake; 5. Do not coast in N gear while driving; 6. Do not push into P gear while the vehicle is moving; 7. When changing the driving direction, switching between D and R gears should be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can increase the temperature of internal transmission components and cause damage.
