When stopping at a red light, which gear should you use?
- Gear N (Neutral) with handbrake engaged: Prevents the car from moving. Use when parked for a longer period, such as at a red light for 120-180 seconds.
- Gear D (Drive) with foot on brake: Use when stopping briefly at a red light for 30-60 seconds or in slow-moving traffic, alternating between slowing down and stopping intermittently.
- Auto Brake Hold system for newer cars: Automatically engages the brake without needing to keep your foot on the brake pedal.
- Gear P (Park): Use when parking and turning off the engine for automatic transmission cars. For manual transmission cars, shift to neutral with the handbrake engaged when parked.
- Keeping the clutch pedal depressed for a long time can wear out the clutch faster.
