Automatic transmission vehicles: Shift to neutral first, then pull the handbrake. Detailed steps for parking manual and automatic transmission vehicles: For manual transmission vehicles: First, press the brake pedal to slow down the car, then hold the brake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Pull the handbrake, shift the gear to neutral. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and lock the doors.

Should a New Car Be Waxed During Washing?

New cars do not require waxing; regular washing is sufficient. The key points to note are: avoid washing when the car body is hot, avoid washing under direct sunlight, and avoid washing in windy weather. Reasons why new cars should not be waxed: Do not wax a new car casually. There is no need to rush into waxing a new car within the first five months of purchase. Waxing too early may remove the original wax on the car's surface, leading to unnecessary waste. Waxing interval: Master the frequency of waxing. Depending on the driving environment and parking location, the waxing interval should vary. Generally, for cars parked in a garage, wax every 3-4 months; for cars parked outdoors exposed to wind and rain, it is best to wax every 2-3 months.
