Do I need to press the brake when shifting from N to D to start?

Yes. When starting the car, shifting from P to D passes through R gear, which causes a reverse impact on the transmission, damaging it. Over time, this can lead to significant damage. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Gear shifting when waiting at a red light. In fact, when waiting for a short red light, using D gear and pressing the brake is perfectly fine. However, for longer durations, it can cause the brake pads to overheat and wear out. 2. Do not park with the tires pressed against an object. Parking with the tires pressed against something is particularly bad for the car.
