Should an automatic transmission car be parked in P or N?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars should be parked in both P and N gears, just in a specific sequence. When parking an automatic transmission car, first press the foot brake to stop the vehicle, then shift the gear from D to N, engage the handbrake, turn off the engine, press the foot brake again, shift from N to P, release the foot brake, and finally turn off the power and remove the key. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.
