Should the parking brake be used when parking an automatic transmission car?

[FinleyDella]

When parking an automatic transmission car, it is necessary to use the parking brake, especially when parking on a slope. Applying the parking brake can prevent the car from rolling away. Situations where the parking brake should be used include: 1. Parking and turning off the engine with the parking brake engaged; 2. Parking in neutral with the parking brake engaged. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling. Precautions for using the parking brake: 1. Avoid pulling it too tightly to prevent system damage; 2. Avoid using the parking brake for long-term parking on slopes; 3. Do not engage the parking brake while driving at high speeds; 4. Release the parking brake before starting the car. An automatic transmission car does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
