Is it necessary to shift to neutral when parking a car?
1 Answers
It is not mandatory to shift to neutral when parking a car. The parking methods are as follows: 1. For automatic transmission: Press the brake pedal to bring the car to a smooth stop, shift from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), engage the handbrake, press the brake pedal while shifting from N to P (Park), release the foot brake, press the one-button start/stop to turn off the power; 2. For manual transmission: Gently press the brake pedal to reduce speed, press the clutch, shift to neutral after coming to a complete stop, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine. Precautions for parking a car include: 1. Turn off all electrical equipment inside the car before shutting down the engine to prevent battery drain from prolonged use; 2. Choose a parking spot that does not obstruct others, affecting the next drive; 3. Use turn signals before parking and observe surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.
