[Molly]

Shifting to P gear after turning off the engine is correct. The proper method for parking an automatic transmission vehicle is: 1. Press the brake pedal to slow down and come to a complete stop; 2. After stopping, shift into N gear; 3. Engage the handbrake; 4. Release the foot brake and ensure the vehicle is stationary; 5. Press the foot brake again and shift into P gear; 6. Turn off the engine. The correct method for starting an automatic transmission vehicle is: 1. Connect the power supply, then start the car; 2. After ignition, press the brake pedal, shift into D gear, release the handbrake, and gently press the accelerator to start; 3. After starting, appropriately press the accelerator according to road conditions to increase speed. An automatic transmission vehicle does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
