Why does the car still roll when in N gear?

The reason why the car still rolls when in N gear is introduced; the gear is incorrectly engaged. When parking, you should shift to P gear. N gear is neutral and does not have a parking function, while P gear is the true parking gear. P gear is the parking gear and is the gear to be used when the car is parked. The following is information about automatic transmission gears: 1. P stands for Parking gear: used when parking (when turning off the engine). 2. R stands for Reverse gear: used when reversing. 3. N stands for Neutral gear: similar to the neutral gear in a manual transmission, used for brief stops. 4. D stands for Drive gear: in this gear, the transmission will automatically switch between gears 1 to 4 (or above) based on speed and throttle conditions. 5. S stands for Sport mode: in this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPMs for a longer time to increase the vehicle's power.
Years of driving experience have taught me that coasting in neutral is all too common. When an automatic transmission is in neutral, the gears are completely disengaged, leaving the car relying solely on the braking system. If parked on a slope, the minimal friction from the transmission gears alone is far from sufficient. Once, while waiting on a slope in my neighborhood, I didn't fully engage the brakes, and the car rolled half a meter, scraping against the curb. My advice: make it a habit to shift into Park and engage the handbrake when parking on a slope, and always keep your foot on the brake when temporarily stopped on level ground for maximum safety. Some owners who've upgraded their brake pads need to be extra cautious during the break-in period. Remember, as long as the engine is running, keep your foot on the brake pedal.
