What letter represents neutral gear?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars have a neutral gear, represented by the letter N. N (Neutral) is the neutral position, which can be used when starting or towing the vehicle. When waiting at a signal or in traffic, the gear selector is often kept in the D (Drive) position while the brake is pressed. If the stop is brief, this is acceptable, but for longer stops, it is best to shift into N (Neutral) and engage the parking brake. Below is more related information: Automatic transmissions have the following gear positions: 1. P (Park): Represents the parking gear. When parking the vehicle, the gear should be placed in P, including when turning off the engine or idling for extended periods. 2. R (Reverse): Represents the reverse gear. When reversing, the gear should be placed in R. 3. N (Neutral): Represents neutral gear, which is the same as the neutral in a manual transmission. It can be used for short stops. 4. D (Drive): Represents the drive gear. When in this position, the vehicle moves forward, and the transmission automatically shifts between gears 1 and the highest gear based on the vehicle's speed and throttle input. 5. S (Sport): Represents sport mode. When in this position, the transmission delays shifting, keeping the gear at higher RPMs for longer to increase vehicle power, though this consumes more fuel.
