Will the car roll in N gear?
1 Answers
N gear can cause the car to roll. Here are the relevant details: 1. Purpose of N gear: N gear is suitable for use when waiting at a red light. After coming to a complete stop, you can shift into N gear and then engage the handbrake. Many cars now come with the AUTO HOLD function, which automatically activates the parking state once the vehicle stops. If the gear is in another position or in P gear, a rear-end collision can easily damage the transmission. 2. Parking on a slope: First shift into N gear, then engage the handbrake, and finally shift into P gear. This way, the P gear won't bear excessive pressure because engaging the handbrake after shifting into N gear provides some braking force first, making it more stable when shifting into P gear without overloading the P gear's locking mechanism. If subjected to excessive pressure for too long, it can deform or get damaged.
