Why is coasting in neutral not recommended for automatic transmissions?
1 Answers
The reasons why coasting in neutral is not recommended for automatic transmissions are: 1. When coasting in neutral, the engine operates at idle speed, which can damage the transmission; 2. The braking time and distance of the vehicle become longer, making it very unsafe. The steps to start an automatic transmission vehicle are: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake to start the engine; 4. Warm up the vehicle while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake; 6. Gradually release the foot brake and smoothly press the accelerator to start moving. The gear positions for automatic transmissions are: 1. D stands for Drive; 2. R stands for Reverse; 3. P stands for Park; 4. L stands for Low gear; 5. N stands for Neutral; 6. W stands for Winter/Snow mode; 7. S stands for Sport mode.
