Is It Serious to Forget to Shift to P Gear Before Turning Off the Engine?
1 Answers
It is not serious. However, it may have some impact on the transmission. Parking sequence: When parking the car, turn on the turn signal, lightly press the brake to slow down, slowly turn the steering wheel, press the clutch with the left foot, and simultaneously press the brake with the right foot. Shift to N gear. The reason for not directly shifting to P gear before turning off the engine is to prevent the transmission from passing through R gear while the engine is running, thereby reducing one impact when turning off. Pull up the handbrake and release the foot brake. After the car comes to a complete stop, shift to P gear and remove the key. Gear usage tips: Control the starting gear properly. Do not keep your hand on the gear shift lever for too long while driving. Use 1st or 2nd gear when starting. When shifting gears, the driver should coordinate the clutch and throttle properly—press the clutch all the way down, release the throttle pedal immediately, and then quickly shift to the appropriate gear. If the vehicle shakes slightly under high load, you can downshift by one or two gears.
