Is It Harmful to Park in P Gear Without Turning Off the Engine While Waiting?
1 Answers
Parking in P gear without turning off the engine while waiting is harmful. Here are specific details about parking in P gear: 1. Harm: The car can be turned off without shifting to P gear, but it will damage the transmission and engine. It is recommended to shift to P gear before parking and turning off the engine. The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the car, preventing it from moving. 2. Correct Practice: The most suitable parking sequence for the vehicle is to first wait until the car comes to a complete stop on a flat surface, then shift the gear from D to P, engage the handbrake to complete the parking process, and finally turn off the engine.
