February 9th, 2019 10:02 PM #1SMy Innova is with an automatic transmission. This is my dilemma every time mag-traffic sa city and ang ride is usad pagong.... what should I do .... Do I have to maintain at "D" while stepping the brake and release the break to move a little forward? Or could I put it at N with the handbreak then shift back to D and release the handbreak to move forward a little? Stepping on the break for a long period at time hurt my right knee/leg... Ilang estimated seconds or minutes ba before considering placing it at N? Hope someone can enlighten me on this....

February 9th, 2019 10:09 PM #2in crawling traffic, i keep it on D, and press on the brake pedal, releasing it from time to time, to ease the car forward.
when it is total standstill, for longer periods like a minute at least, i put it on N.
kanya-kanyang style po yan.
there are arguments for and against, but my personal bottom line is, "the degree of wear and tear is probably not worth the effort at arguing".

Just keep it in D and press and release the brake pedal as necessary. Do not play with it (shifting from D to N to D) as that will prematurely wear out the transmission friction bands and solenoids. It is an automatic transmission controlled by a computer so leaving it alone works best all the time.

Don't forget to use the right foot to step on the brakes when you need to decelerate/stop the car.

I don't think doing either will matter much to a brand new car. If you have an older car and plan to keep it for a few hundred thousand km maybe it might wear out earlier but you have to consider your comfort and well being as well.
RWD with the heaviest part of the car -- the batteries -- in the back, just makes a lot of sense to...
