N - Neutral - Neutral Transmission. In this position of the selector, the car, as well as on "P", can be started, but the blocking of the shaft does not occur. However, it differs from the mode of neutral on hand boxes. In this mode, you can not roll under the slope or towing the machine with the engine off without risk to damage the machine. The fact is that the oil pump is on the primary automatic transmission shaft, so when the engine is turned off, it will not work, which means there will not be an ATF circulation and the box can overheat.

* There is an opinion that, standing on the traffic light, go to "n", because in the "D" mode there is something there and wear out. In fact, it is not the case, all the elements of the box are immobilized, the frictions are clamped, the first transmission is turned on and only the pump is pumped. transmission fluid. The movement in this case begins without slipping the friction pairs, which come into operation only when moving to the second transmission. The transition from the mode "n" in "D", on the contrary, makes them once again Help.

In addition, the translating selector from the "N" mode in "D" should not immediately press gas, and it is necessary to wait for a characteristic push, which will show that the box entered the mode of movement and chose the necessary transmission, and in the heat of the hurry you can forget about it.

So it is not recommended to use the "N" mode, except for the restarting of the stuffed motor, as well as the towing of the car or rolling it manually with the engine turned off. At short stops, for example, on the traffic light, the selector should not be moved to the "N" position or to the "P" position, and hold the car in place in such cases with the help of brakes. If, with long stops in street traffic jams, you are tired of the leg, it is better to set the "P" mode. You can also enroll when stopping in hot weather, to reduce heat dissipation and prevent ATF overheating in the box.

* When moving on long descents, install the selector lever to the "n" position is not recommended. This will not lead to fuel economy, but can cause the box overheating when the D is returned at high speed.

So moving rolling the selector is better to leave in the position in which he was before. In this case, the box will switch to the highest of the allowed gear and provide minimal braking engine. If you rolled in "N" mode, the subsequent transition to "D" will make the box with the output mode, since it needs time to switch to the desired transmission. took from the old topic. Previously, the neutral neutral was also cut, until I did not read) it was written in that dawn something else and you can start it from the pusher. But I think it will not lead to anything good. In general, I advise you to travel as the Subaru plant consists in R D and 1 2 3 mode)
