Do you need to press the brake when shifting from N to D in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
When shifting from N to D in an automatic transmission car, you can either press the brake or not, both methods are acceptable. For automatic transmission vehicles, pressing the brake is required to shift gears for safety reasons. However, when the car is moving, shifting from D to neutral (N) does not require pressing the brake, and similarly, shifting from neutral to D also does not require pressing the brake due to the design structure of the transmission. This shifting method does not harm the engine. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, press the start button directly; 2. Press the brake and then the start button to ignite and start the engine; 3. Release the foot brake and let the car warm up in place; 4. Press the brake again and shift to D; 5. Release the handbrake and slowly let go of the foot brake to start moving.
