What gear should be used when stopping at a red light?
1 Answers
What gear to use when stopping at a red light depends on the waiting time. The following are the gear selection scenarios when stopping at a red light: 1. If the red light lasts less than 30 seconds, it is recommended that the driver simply keep the brake pedal pressed. 2. If the red light lasts between 30 seconds and 1 minute, the driver should shift to N (Neutral) gear. 3. If the red light lasts more than one minute, it is recommended to shift directly to P (Park) gear. Additional information: For automatic transmission vehicles, when turning off the engine or idling for an extended period, the gear should be shifted to P (Park). The correct parking method is to first press the brake and shift to N (Neutral) gear, then engage the handbrake and release the brake pedal. Once the vehicle is completely stationary, shift to P (Park) gear.
