Which letter represents neutral gear in an automatic transmission car?

[Ashlyn]

Automatic transmission cars have a neutral gear, which is indicated by the letter N. N (Neutral) is the neutral gear, which can be used when starting or towing the vehicle. When waiting for a signal or in traffic jams, the gear selector is often kept in the D position while the brake is pressed. This is acceptable for short durations, but for longer stops, it is best to shift into the N position and engage the parking brake. Automatic transmissions have the following gear positions: 1. P (Park): Represents the parking gear. When parking the vehicle, the gear should be shifted to 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 shifted to R. 3. N (Neutral): Represents the neutral gear, which is the same as in manual transmissions. It can be used for short stops. 4. D (Drive): Represents the forward gear. When in this position, the vehicle moves forward, and the transmission automatically shifts between gears 1 to the highest gear based on the vehicle's speed and throttle conditions. 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.
