Is it necessary to press the brake when shifting gears in an automatic transmission car?

In most cases, shifting gears does not require pressing the brake. However, you need to press the brake when shifting to the following gears: 1. N gear on slopes: This is the neutral gear, which is used for short stops. At this time, the right foot can leave the brake pedal to rest. But if you are on an uphill or downhill slope, you still need to press the brake to prevent the car from rolling, unless you engage the handbrake or electronic brake. 2. Waiting at a red light: If the red light lasts less than 30 seconds, it is recommended that the driver simply press the brake. 3. Starting the car in P gear: When starting the car, shifting from P to D gear will pass through R gear. The correct procedure is to turn on the power, press the brake, shift to N gear, then start the engine and shift to D gear.
