What is the purpose of the N gear in an automatic transmission car?

[VanHeidi]

Introduction to the functions of the N gear in automatic transmission cars: 1. Towing: When the vehicle needs to be inspected or towed for other reasons, it must be placed in the N gear. 2. Waiting at a red light: You can use the N gear when waiting at a red light on the road, which reduces fuel consumption and does not accelerate transmission wear. If the red light is very short, staying in D gear is also acceptable. 3. Temporary parking: If the car needs to be parked temporarily, such as when waiting for someone, you can temporarily shift to N gear. However, if the wait is long, it is recommended to turn off the engine. 4. Parking and starting: The N gear can also be flexibly used during parking and starting. For example, starting from N gear and shifting to D gear is better than starting from P gear, which requires passing through R gear.
