How to Park a Nissan Sylphy Automatic Transmission Correctly?
2 Answers
When the car comes to a stop, first decelerate, press the brake pedal, and shift the gear into N (Neutral). This helps reduce damage to the car's transmission during the operation. Turn off the engine while keeping the electrical system on. Since the gear is not in P (Park), the key cannot be removed at this point. Engage the handbrake firmly and release the foot brake, transferring the load to the handbrake. Once the car is completely stationary, shift the gear into P (Park). Finally, turn off the electrical system and remove the key.
As a long-time owner of a Nissan Sylphy, I don't think automatic transmission parking is complicated, but it must be done in order. First, gradually reduce the speed to zero and keep the brake pedal pressed until the car comes to a complete stop. Then shift the gear lever to P (Park), which locks the transmission to prevent rolling. Next, engage the handbrake, especially important on slopes, as it reduces the load on the transmission. Finally, turn off the engine. Since adopting this routine, my car's transmission has never had issues, whereas random operations in the past led to minor faults. Whether parking on the roadside or in a garage, this method is simple, safe, extends component lifespan, and saves repair hassles.
