Is It Necessary to Press the Brake to Shift Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

[DelJourney]

It is not always necessary to press the brake to shift gears in an automatic transmission. The specific scenarios are as follows: 1. Shifting from P (Park) to R (Reverse) requires pressing the brake; 2. Shifting from P (Park) to D (Drive) requires pressing the brake; 3. Shifting from D (Drive) to N (Neutral) does not require pressing the brake; 4. Shifting from R (Reverse) to N (Neutral) does not require pressing the brake; 5. Shifting from N (Neutral) to D (Drive) requires pressing the brake; 6. Shifting from N (Neutral) to R (Reverse) requires pressing the brake; 7. Shifting from D (Drive) to S (Sport) does not require pressing the brake. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for manual gear shifting while driving, as the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual shifting operations.
