What is the term for having no gear selected in our vehicle?
Controls
Explanation
The term **"neutral"** refers to the situation where the vehicle has no gear selected. This occurs when the **clutch pedal** is fully pressed, which disconnects the engine from the gearbox and the wheels. In this state, the engine continues to run but does not transmit movement to the wheels, allowing for gear changes or leaving the vehicle at rest without it moving.
The **transmission system** is responsible for transferring the engine's power to the wheels. When the vehicle is in neutral, this system is not transmitting power to any wheel, as no gear is selected. This is useful, for example, when parking or stopping temporarily, as it prevents the vehicle from moving involuntarily.
