Should an automatic transmission car be turned off in N gear or P gear?
1 Answers
For automatic transmission cars, it is recommended to turn off the engine in P gear. The manufacturer's suggested procedure for drivers is: directly shift to P gear, engage the parking brake, turn off the engine, and then leave the vehicle. All automatic transmission models support turning off the engine and removing the key in P gear, but some automatic transmission models cannot remove the key when in N gear. An automatic transmission is a drivetrain device that can automatically shift gears and operate based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch automatic transmission.
