[VanBryce]

It is necessary to shift to neutral when parking. Below is an introduction regarding gear shifting when parking: Reasons for shifting gears: For vehicles equipped with an engine start-stop function, when waiting at a red light, the engine will enter a shutdown state, meaning there is no idle state that generates impact force. Therefore, there is naturally no need to shift to neutral, eliminating the hassle of frequently switching the transmission. Engine start-stop: The working principle of the engine start-stop is very simple. As long as the brake is firmly pressed or the vehicle remains stationary, the vehicle's engine will temporarily stop working, entering a shutdown state. When the driver releases the brake, the engine will re-enter the working state, allowing the vehicle to continue moving forward.
