Do You Need to Press the Brake When Turning Off an Automatic Transmission Car?

[Serenity]

You need to press the brake when turning off an automatic transmission car. Here is more expanded information: 1. Handling method: After the vehicle is stationary, shift the gear to P or N position to turn off the engine. If parking on a slope, first shift the gear to N position, then press the brake, pull the handbrake, wait for the vehicle to come to a complete stop, shift the gear to P, release the foot brake, and finally turn off the engine. 2. Selection requirements: When an automatic transmission car needs to temporarily stop at an intersection or due to traffic congestion, different operation methods should be adopted according to the specific situation. When waiting for a traffic signal or stopping for a long time with the gear lever in D position, it is best to use both the foot brake and handbrake simultaneously to prevent accidents caused by slight relaxation of the foot brake. Automatic transmission cars consume more fuel than manual transmission cars of the same model, but the biggest advantage of automatic transmission vehicles is convenience, especially in traffic jams.
