When to Use the N Gear?
1 Answers
N gear is the neutral gear, which can be engaged during prolonged idling. Additionally, the N gear plays an indispensable role when parking. Below are the scenarios for using the N gear in an automatic transmission car: 1. Starting the vehicle: Shift into N gear, start the vehicle, then shift to D or R gear, release the handbrake, and slowly release the brake. Note that when starting the car, always observe the surroundings to ensure safety before releasing the brake. 2. Parking: Press the brake, shift into N gear, engage the handbrake, shift to P gear, and turn off the engine. If on a slope, the third step is to first engage the handbrake, then release the foot brake, turn off the engine, and finally shift to P gear. In summary, ensure the car is completely stopped or firmly stabilized with the handbrake before shifting to P gear and turning off the engine.
