What gear should be in when waiting at a red light?
1 Answers
It is recommended to adopt the following methods according to different situations: 1. For red lights lasting about 10 seconds, it is suggested to stay in D gear and press the brake. Automatic transmission models generally have four gears, namely P, R, N, and D gears in sequence. D gear is the forward gear. Adhering to the principle of not frequently shifting gears, if the red light is very short, about 10 seconds, then there is no need to switch gears again, just stay in D gear and press the brake. 2. For red lights lasting more than 30 seconds, it is recommended to shift to N gear and pull the handbrake. If the red light lasts more than 30 seconds, and some intersections in urban areas may even have red lights lasting up to 99 seconds, then it is generally recommended to shift to N gear, which is the neutral gear, and then pull the handbrake, so that the foot can be released for a slight rest.
