What is the N gear?
1 Answers
N stands for Neutral. It operates on the same principle as the neutral gear in a manual transmission and is used for brief stops. The functions of the N gear are as follows: 1. The N gear exists to disconnect the engine from the transmission. 2. During daily driving, when you need to make a temporary stop or wait for pedestrians to cross the road, the N gear should be used. It not only reduces car vibrations but also lowers fuel consumption. 3. If the stop is not temporary, it is better to turn off the engine. First, shift into neutral, engage the handbrake, and then shift into P gear. This helps prevent excessive wear on the transmission. Especially when parking on a slope, it can avoid jerking when shifting gears the next time you start the car.
