Do You Need to Press the Brake When Turning Off the Engine?

[VonOwen]

No, you don't need to. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift to neutral or Park (P), engage the parking brake, and then you can turn off the engine. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive brakes: 1. Brakes: Brakes, also known as stopping mechanisms, refer to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The braking device is a mechanical braking mechanism that slows down the vehicle's speed, also known as a decelerator. 2. Braking System: The braking system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The control system includes the pedal, handbrake, etc. The hydraulic system is composed of hydraulic fluid, brake pump, and hydraulic lines. The power assist system is the vacuum booster. The electronic control system consists of an ABS pump, ABS sensors, and ABS computer. The execution system includes brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs.
