Should the handbrake be engaged when in N gear?

[ElliotRose]

Whether to engage the handbrake when in N gear depends on the situation: 1. If the parking time is very short, simply stepping on the brake is sufficient; 2. If parking for more than half a minute, the handbrake should be engaged when in N gear. N gear is the neutral gear for automatic transmission vehicles. Introduction to other gears in automatic transmission vehicles: 1. P gear is the parking gear, used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. D gear is the drive gear, when the gear lever is placed in D gear, the vehicle will automatically shift gears based on throttle opening and speed data; 4. S gear is the sport mode, making the vehicle drive more sporty; 5. M gear refers to the manual mode, when the gear lever is shifted into M gear, gear shifting is done manually by the driver; 6. L gear is the low gear.
