Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting to P Gear in an Automatic Car?
1 Answers
When shifting to P gear in an automatic car, you do not need to press the brake. Below are the methods for parking an automatic car and an introduction to the car's gears: Methods for parking an automatic car: First, press the foot brake to stop the car, then shift the gear from D to N, and pull up the handbrake. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power, then shift the gear from N to P, and turn off the power. Introduction to car gears: Car gears include L gear, B gear, P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, and S gear. L gear is the low gear, used when the vehicle is climbing a hill, maintaining a high RPM and low gear state. B gear is the braking gear. When the vehicle is driving on a long downhill section, you can shift to B gear, at which point engine braking will engage, avoiding accidents caused by overheating of the brake pads due to prolonged use of the service brake. P gear is the parking gear. When parking, the gear should be placed in P, and the car will stop braking, preventing the vehicle from rolling. R gear is the reverse gear, used when the vehicle is reversing. However, R gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is completely stopped. Otherwise, it can cause serious damage to the car's transmission. N gear is the neutral gear, used for short stops, such as waiting at a traffic light, when the gear can be shifted to N. D gear is the drive gear, used when the vehicle is moving forward. S gear is the sport mode, where the transmission will freely shift gears based on the current speed and the driver's throttle input, but there will be a slight delay during gear shifts.
