Noob question guys.
What's the use of neutral sa AT and ano pinagkaiba nya sa Park?
Thanks

Pag nasa traffic or stop ang traffic light N for neutral lang,pag naka P or park ka at na bangga ka sa likod wasak ang transmission mo.
*jyg1995 thanks.
Another noob question, yung mga kakilala ko lagi ako dine discourage to buy an AT car kasi daw di mo "mahihila" pag nasiraan ka. I don't if they're saying literally or may ibang meaning.
But let's say di mo nga mahihila, base on your answer, it seemed like "mahihila/matutulak" mo naman sya paga naka Neutral? just like a manual transmission right?
According to casa mechanics, you can still tow a car or an SUV with AT in neutral but to a maximum distance of 15km. only. Beyond this there is a possibility that you damage your transmission. AT neutral is not fully disengaged not like the manual transmission.
Nakalagay naman sa user manual ng A/T car yung proper way of flat towing. Maximum 50km yan, not 15km.
Emergency Towing / Flat Towing
In case of a roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle (without access to wheel dollies, car hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle) your vehicle (regardless of transmission powertrain configuration) can be flat towed (all wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:
- Vehicle is facing forward so that it is being towed in a forward direction.
- Place the transmission in N (Neutral)
- Maximum speed is not to exceed 50 km/h
- Maximum distance is 50 km
- Put the key in "ACC" (engine off) or "ON" (engine running)

Just want to re-open the thread. Newbie din kasi ako when it comes to A/T cars. Siguro, what they are trying to say, pag na-lowbat ka at nakalagay sa "P" ang transmission mo, you won't be able to put it down. Tama ba ako? Correct me if im wrong. Hahaha!
Sa tucson kasi namin, nagagalaw ko naman yung kambya even if the engine is off. While few weeks ago I tested an all-new montero na naka-display sa mall, hindi ko magalaw yung kambya kahit pindutin ko na yung button sa harap ng stick. Sabi ng sales executive nila, safety feature daw yon. Pag naka-off, hindi mo daw maibababa yung kambya. It's an automatic guys ha baka isipin niyo manual since stick ang term ko. Di ko na kasi maisip. LOL.
So sa isip ko lang, "Ah ganon pala yon pag matic."
Ang gen2 Vios may button sa center console tabi ng shifter para pwede i-unlock ang tranny kahit patay ang makina. Great for pushing the car around without having to turn the engine on.
Some cars hide their buttons under a flap that can be removed using a flathead screwdriver.
Other cars require disassembling half the center console![]()
That one I wasn't able to try kasi nasa mall kaya nahiya nalang ako magtapak tapak. Pero nung tinanong ko sa sales nila ang sabi, safety feature daw ng montero na bago, as long as naka-off hindi daw maibababa yung gear kaya sabi ko nalang ah okay
Hindi ko sigurado. All-new montero owners here? Meron naman yan siguro dito. Hehe.
johnM said it. some cars have a way to put the car to N, so that the car can be pushed around or towed.
my 2003 altis has one such.
read the manual, po. it's there siguro.
and i agree. some display associates do not know their product enough. i actually prefer to talk to an owner than to a SA.
Pag neutral ata naka disengage sya sa transmission kaya pag naka neutral ka puede ka mag rollfoward o backward need mo apakAn ang brake o engage ang parking break. Pag naka park naka engage sa transmission kaya hindi gagalaw sasakyan yun nga lang pag nabangga masisira ang transmission ata
P or Park in an a/t is the same as putting your m/t in 1st gear when it is parked.
In P there is a stationary notched gear set that is engaged. This stationary gear set acts as a secondary park brake. So pag nabanga ka while in P, whether from the rear or front, it is this stationary gear set that will get damaged. Sira na din ang transmission most of the time because the force of the collision will pass from the wheels to the differential to the transmission planetary gears to this notched gear in the tranny.
Mahihila mo ang A/T lalo na if may transfercase as in 4wd vehicles. Yung sakin nilagay ko sa Park, shift tcase sa Neutral and am on my way
Does that mean it's better to keep the car at N when parked? Kasi kahit sa garage/parking may possibility ka pa rin mabangga.
