Q&A
Why is coasting in the “N” gear not allowed while the
vehicle is running?
The structure of AT is different from that of MT, which performs self﹣
lubrication according to the vehicle speed, namely splash lubrication.
However, the AT is lubricated by pressure internally, while the pressure
is dependent on the engine speed. For example, when the “N” position is
engaged at a vehicle speed of 40 km/h, the transmission is operating at
high speed internally at this time, but the engine speed remains at idling,
and accordingly the oil pump of the transmission can only provide the
lubricating oil pressure at idling. Hence if the “N” position is engaged for
coasting in a long time, the clutch in the AT will be worn excessively due to
lack of e󰀨ective temperature drop.
Therefore, please do not engage the “N” gear during driving!
Why is a sound heard when the electric park brake is
applied or released?
As the electric park brake is controlled by motor, the motor will work and
make an operating sound when the electric park brake is applied or released.
Please feel relieved to use the vehicle because the phenomena
mentioned above are normal.
