With the rapid development of automotive technology, automatic cars have gradually replaced manual cars and become the most mainstream choice on the market, and even when consumers buy cars, salesmen will give the highest priority to introducing automatic models to consumers. Compared with the manual transmission model, the automatic transmission model is worry-free and good-looking, and the C2 driver's license test is much simpler than the C1 driver's license test, so many car owners who do not pursue the sense of control will be more inclined to choose the automatic model.
However, it is precisely because the automatic transmission model is more worry-free, eliminating the need for frequent gear shifts and steps to step on the clutch, so many car owners are in the end when driving, and they do not understand the gear of the automatic gear model, and many owners have not even used the N gear several times until the car is scrapped, and usually the parking will be hung on the P gear. Although N is not used much in the normal time, the role is not small at all, and the transmission can be protected at the appropriate time to extend the service life of the gearbox.
The functions of P gear and N gear are parking and parking, so some car owners simply confuse the two gears, which one hangs on when driving, and most of the time it is hung in P gear. However, compared with the P gear, the main role of the N gear is to cut off the connection between the drive system and the engine, so that the car loses power. That is to say, when the owner is hung up in the N gear, even if the throttle is pressed to the end, it will not let the car move forward. So when should N block be used?
1. When waiting for traffic lights
Many car owners are accustomed to slamming on the brakes after hanging up to the D gear when they encounter a red light, but this is a standard injured car operation. Over time, the car's clutch and brake system will be damaged, increasing the chance of the car failing during driving. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone hang up the N gear when waiting for the red light, so that the car completely loses power, the engine will no longer work, can further reduce fuel consumption, not to mention, carbon deposits will be reduced accordingly.
Second, hang in N gear before parking
Many owners of automatic models like to directly attach to the P gear when parking, but they do not know that this operation consumes more on the car gearbox, and it is easy to let the gearbox gears wear out because of the excessive load, affecting the subsequent use of the car. The correct way to park should be to hang in N gear when parking, pull up the handbrake and then change to P gear, and finally turn off.
3. Use when parking on the slope
When parking on a slope, N protects the car's gearbox better than P. Because the role of the P gear is to lock the gearbox gear when the car is completely stationary, when the slope is stopped, the gearbox gear will be damaged due to forced locking when the slope is parked. In contrast to P gear, N gear simply cuts off the connection between the drive system and the engine and does not affect the gearbox gears, so even a slippery slope will not damage the gearbox.
Editor's Note:
In addition, when the car encounters a failure and needs to be towed, it is also better to hang into the N gear than to be attached to the P gear. It is worth noting that some car owners have heard that hanging into the neutral can be more fuel-efficient when hanging up the downhill, so they especially like to make the operation of the neutral sliding, but the current models are generally equipped with an electronic injection system, which will adjust the amount of fuel injection by themselves, so the neutral sliding will not save fuel. Taking a step back, regardless of the authenticity of this statement, the empty gear taxi is first and foremost an illegal act, and I hope that all car owners will remember it.
