How to Park an Automatic Transmission Car Correctly?
1 Answers
Correct parking steps for automatic transmission cars: 1. Press the foot brake to stop the car. 2. Shift the gear from D to N. 3. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine. 4. Release the foot brake, but it is recommended not to turn off the power at this time to ensure the car is completely stable under the handbrake. 5. Press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N to P. 6. Release the foot brake. 7. Turn the key back to the off position and remove the key. Notes for stopping at a red light with an automatic transmission: When waiting at a red light in an automatic transmission car, if the red light is short, keeping the car in D gear with the brake pressed does not cause much harm; if the wait is long, shift the gear to N. This is because when the car is in D gear, the engine is running, and prolonged braking can increase the load on the transmission.
