What letter represents neutral gear in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
In an automatic transmission car, the neutral gear is represented by the letter N. It is not advisable to shift to neutral while driving for the following reasons: 1. When idling, the engine's oil pressure output is low, resulting in insufficient lubrication supply, which can lead to poor lubrication and severe wear of components such as the hydraulic directional valve and planetary gears; 2. Excessive heat generation can cause oil carbonization, forming sludge that blocks oil passages, leading to insufficient oil supply and poor lubrication after normal oil delivery. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gear positions are as follows: 1. P stands for Park; 2. R stands for Reverse; 3. D stands for Drive; 4. S stands for Sport mode; 5. L stands for Low gear.
