What does the N gear in Volkswagen mean?
1 Answers
Volkswagen's N gear is the neutral position, used when coasting or when parking and turning off the engine. If you engage N gear while parking, be sure to apply the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling. The S gear is the acceleration gear. P gear: Parking gear. When the gear lever is shifted into this position, the drive wheels are mechanically locked, commonly referred to as the handbrake. The vehicle must be stationary before shifting the gear lever into this position to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward, especially when parking on a slope. Before shifting into this gear, the brake pedal should be pressed first and then engaged. R gear: Reverse gear. This gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary and is used for reversing the vehicle, such as when parking in reverse. N gear: Neutral position. When the gear lever is shifted into this position, the transmission does not engage any gear, and there is no power output after shifting into this gear. D gear: Drive position (regular shifting program). When the gear lever is shifted into this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within the engine speed range, with the shift points depending on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed. S gear: Drive position (sport shifting program). When the gear lever is shifted into this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within a higher engine speed range compared to D gear, making full use of the engine's power. The shift points depend on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed.
