When the gear lever is in this position, the transmission idles, and the engine's power cannot be transmitted to the drive wheels, having no driving or restraining effect on the wheels. Besides the N gear, there are these common gears: 1. P gear, the parking gear and starting gear, used when the car is parked and not in use, at which time the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling; 2. D gear, the drive gear in an automatic transmission, also known as the forward gear, used when moving forward; 3. S gear, the S gear represents sports mode, when engaged, the gear can be freely switched, only the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high speed for a period to increase the car's power.
