What is the N gear in a car?
1 Answers
The N gear in a car refers to the neutral gear. It operates on the same principle as the neutral gear in a manual transmission and can be used during 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, such as waiting 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 to neutral, apply the handbrake, and then shift to P gear. This helps prevent excessive wear on the transmission. Especially when parking on a slope, it can also avoid jerky gear shifts when starting the car next time.
