Can the car be turned off without shifting to P gear? However, it may damage the transmission and engine. It is recommended to shift to P gear before parking and turning off the car. If the car is turned off without shifting to P gear, it may move on uneven roads. This is because the P gear transmission has a locking device that engages with the transmission gears. Movement at this time will impact the transmission gears, causing the car to move forward. The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the car, preventing it from moving. The car can also be turned off in neutral gear, but turning off an automatic transmission car in neutral gear may affect the lifespan of the transmission. If the car is not shifted to P gear when parked, the car key cannot be removed.
