Can I shift directly from D to P when parking?

It is not recommended to shift directly from D to P when parking. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission vehicle is as follows: 1. Press the brake pedal to come to a complete stop; 2. Shift the gear from D to N; 3. Engage the parking brake and turn off the engine; 4. Release the foot brake (but keep the power on) to ensure the vehicle is completely stationary under the parking brake's effect; 5. Press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N to P; 6. Release the foot brake; 7. Turn the key back to the off position and remove it. The procedure for starting an automatic transmission vehicle is: 1. Without pressing the foot brake, press the start button twice to initiate the vehicle's computer system self-check (for at least six seconds); 2. Press the foot brake and push the start/stop button to ignite the engine; 3. Release the foot brake and allow the engine to warm up while stationary; 4. Press the foot brake, release the parking brake, and shift the gear from P to D; 5. Gradually release the foot brake to start moving; 6. Depending on road conditions, smoothly press the accelerator pedal to increase speed.
