It can be used when you wish to make use of engine brakes on slow speed curves, for right or left turns at intersections and where the bends of mountain roads are tight, and on steep downhills. When merging with surrounding cars traveling at high speeds, such as on expressways, acceleration may be performed using the acceleration force of the second speed to to the full extent. This gear is used to increase the speed further than 2nd gear. Gears of 3rd gear or higher do not have enough power to start a car, so they are not used for starting.
It is also used when running in town, curves with gentle curves and when you want to make use of engine brakes on a gentle downhill. It is also used when you want accelerating power such as when overtaking. This is a gear used when raising the speed further than 3rd speed. Use it on a large road such as a national highway when you are traveling at a speed that allows you to get into the flow.
This is a gear used for running at the highest speed such as on expressways. The overdrive gear is used also when you want to drive economically because the number of revolutions of the drive shaft that transmits the driving force to the wheels exceeds the engine revolution number. However, if the vehicle is not moving fast enough, knocking will occur and it will have an adverse effect on the engine. There is no gear selected.
Set the shift knob to this position when parking the car or stopping for a long time such as in a traffic jam. In the neutral state, the car will roll on even a slight hill, so be sure to apply the parking brake when stopping.
Do not put your car into neutral and simply coast while using your breaks to slow down from a higher gear. It is best to downshift while using the breaks to slow down.

Step 1 Keep the car in first gear when the traffic is steadily moving at speeds up to about 10 mph. Step 2 Depress the clutch, shift the car into neutral and release the clutch at times when the traffic stops or gets so slow that the car feels as if it is going to stall while in first gear.
Step 3 Depress the clutch, shift the car into first gear, release the clutch slowly while slightly depressing the gas pedal when traffic picks up again. Step 4 Shift the car into second gear when the traffic gets up to around 10 or 15 mph.
The friction from shifting between also heats up the clutch plates resulting in dirtier transmission oil which causes other component failures. Fuel Economy: The amount of fuel saved is too little to be considered as a benefit.
The wears on the clutch plates are more significant in the long run. Some modern cars with fuel-saving features shut the engine at the lights so N is automatically selected by the computer. Safety: In an emergency situation, you may need to drive away unexpectedly to avoid an accident but with the gear in N, you may need a longer time to respond.
Also if you panic, you might select the wrong gear and ram into the car behind you. Photo Credit: mechanics. If you shift to P at every stop light, the wear on the clutch plates and park pawl can be significant in the long run. To depend solely on the parking gear without engaging the hand brake will wear the parking pawl.
