How to Turn Off an Automatic Transmission Vehicle?

[AlainaFitz]

Steps to park and turn off an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Press the brake pedal to ensure the vehicle is completely stopped, then shift the gear to N (Neutral). 2. Engage the handbrake. 3. Shift to P (Park) and release the brake pedal. 4. Turn off all unnecessary electrical devices in the vehicle. 5. Verify that the gear is in P, all non-essential electrical devices are turned off, and the steering wheel is straightened. 6. Turn the key counterclockwise to the end, or press the one-touch start/stop button to switch the ignition to the OFF position. Additional Notes: 1. It is important to engage the handbrake before shifting to P. This ensures that the handbrake handles the parking load, reducing stress on the transmission. 2. The steering wheel has a locking feature. After turning off the engine, if you turn the steering wheel, you will hear a "click" sound, indicating the locking feature is activated. If you cannot turn the key when starting the vehicle again, it means the locking feature is engaged. To release it, gently wiggle the steering wheel left and right while turning the key.
