English term or phrase: stay in gear
Hi all,

Machine label instructions

No-spin Differential Equipped
Distribute the load evenly side-to-side.
Keep diameter of tires equal.
Braking and steering ability is reduced in a turn while coasting.
Stay in gear, do NOT coast.

"Rester en vitesse" ???? ne me convient pas du tout....
Je ne sais pas comment formuler...

Merci d'avance

disagree  FX Fraipont (X): "coasting" = en roue libre, sans vitesse engagée, mais pourtant "en marche".

Garder une vitesse engagée et NE PAS rouler au point mort.


Explanation:
Je garderais ce que FX Fraipont a écrit ("en prise" de Philippe Etienne est très bien également) et rajouterais "ne pas rouler au point mort". Je préfère ça que "roue libre", c'est plus courant à mon sens et vu que ça n'a pas été encore mentionné, je me permets de l'ajouter à la discussion. ^^ Donc :

Garder une vitesse engagée et NE PAS rouler au point mort.

D'autant plus, il est dangereux de rouler au point mort... (Pas de frein moteur..etc) ^^
