How to Turn Off a Keyless Automatic Transmission Car?
2 Answers
Keyless automatic transmission refers to an automatic transmission with a one-button start. The steps to turn off the engine are as follows: 1. First, press the brake to stop the car, then shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), and engage the mechanical handbrake or electronic handbrake. 2. Press the brake again, then shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Park). 3. Finally, release the foot brake and press the one-button start button to turn off the engine. Additional details are as follows: 1. Turning off the engine without shifting to P (Park) will not harm the car. You can park the car in N (Neutral) or P (Park). P (Park) is designed based on N (Neutral) specifically for parking. For example, when waiting at a traffic light on a flat road for a long time, you can shift to N (Neutral) and engage the handbrake. If parking on a slope, to prevent the car from rolling, shift to P (Park) and also engage the handbrake. 2. In terms of safety design, an automatic transmission car will not turn off in D (Drive) unless there is an engine system failure. If the car has an automatic start-stop function, it is normal for the engine to turn off automatically in D (Drive). However, when the accelerator is pressed, the car system will complete operations such as background startup, allowing the car to continue driving.
Turning off a keyless automatic transmission car is actually quite simple. After parking, keep your foot on the brake without releasing it, shift to the P (Park) position, then engage the electronic parking brake to ensure the vehicle is stable. At this point, release the brake and gently press the start button to turn off the engine. The key is not to press the brake when you press the button, otherwise the car will think you want to restart it. After turning off the engine, it's best to check if all the dashboard indicator lights are off, especially ensuring the power symbol disappears for safety. Personally, I'm in the habit of turning off the air conditioning and audio system before shutting down the engine, which helps protect the battery's lifespan. It also makes things easier the next time you get in the car, avoiding a sudden loud volume scare. Finally, remember to touch the door handle's sensor area to lock the car after getting out, preventing the risk of theft due to forgetting to lock it.
