Neutral gear: It refers to shifting the transmission lever to the neutral position in the gearbox. Here is some extended information: 1. Neutral gear: It is a gear position in the transmission. Neutral gear typically means the vehicle's gear lever is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, completely disconnecting the transmission from the drive wheels. 2. Manual transmission neutral: It is located in the middle position, while the neutral gear in an automatic transmission is marked with an "N" and is commonly referred to as the N gear. When in N gear, manual transmission vehicles can coast, but automatic transmissions strictly prohibit coasting in N gear, as it can significantly impact the engine, transmission, and driving safety. 3. Usage scenarios: Generally, when waiting at a traffic light, you can shift to N gear or P gear to reduce the load on the engine and transmission, achieving the goal of saving fuel.

Should I Shift to N Gear When Parking an Automatic Transmission Car?

If parking briefly without turning off the engine, shift to N gear; if parking for an extended period with the engine off, you must shift to P gear. Additional information: 1. Both automatic and manual transmissions have an N gear, which is the neutral gear. After shifting to N gear, the car cannot move. N gear is generally used for temporary stops at traffic lights. 2. Automatic transmissions also have a P gear, which is the parking gear. After shifting to P gear, the car also cannot move. The difference between P gear and N gear is that P gear has a locking mechanism. When P gear is engaged, the locking mechanism can lock the transmission gears, which is equivalent to indirectly locking the wheels. After shifting to P gear, even without applying the handbrake, the car cannot move. However, after shifting to N gear, the car can move if the handbrake is not applied.

Does Using Car Air Conditioning in Winter Increase Fuel Consumption?

Using the car's air conditioning for heating in winter does not additionally increase fuel consumption. More information about air conditioning heating is as follows: 1. When the air conditioning is cooling, the compressor needs to be turned on, which consumes gasoline. However, heating is achieved by collecting the heat from the engine. Apart from the fuel consumption required for the fan to operate, no other fuel-consuming devices are activated, so it does not additionally increase fuel consumption. 2. It is recommended to close the windows and only turn on the fan in winter to transfer the heat from the engine compartment to the interior of the car. There is no need to press the air conditioning button in winter; simply turning on the warm air is sufficient. The warm air is generated by the engine's heat and does not consume any extra fuel.

What to Do If Your ETC Is Illegally Used on the Highway?

Here are the steps to handle the situation when your ETC is illegally used on the highway: 1. If your ETC is illegally used when entering the highway, you can go to the manual lane and swipe your ETC card. This will overwrite the previous record and prevent double charging. 2. If your ETC is illegally used when exiting the highway, you need to contact the toll station staff and use the manual lane. The vehicle that evaded the toll will be tracked through surveillance and penalized accordingly. Precautions for using ETC: 1. The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent illegal use, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front when it stops. 2. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is below 30km/h. To ensure successful reading of your vehicle's device information, keep your speed below 20km/h. If the fee deduction fails due to excessive speed, you can reverse and try again. If the exit barrier still doesn't lift, you can use the MTC manual lane and pay with cash or by swiping a card.
