Where is the Neutral Position Located?
1 Answers
Manual transmission and automatic transmission neutral positions are as follows: 1. The neutral position for manual transmission is in the middle. 2. The neutral position for automatic transmission is at the N mark. Additional information: Coasting in neutral is not recommended for the following reasons: 1. When the gear shift lever is placed in neutral for coasting, the drive wheels lose driving force, and the power connection between the engine and the drive wheels is broken. The vehicle relies on its own inertia to coast forward. 2. If an emergency arises requiring braking during this time, all braking force must be provided solely by the brakes. This demands that the brakes supply a large amount of braking force in a very short time, but the braking system has limited capacity. 3. This will affect braking effectiveness, resulting in longer braking distances.
