Should You Engage the Electronic Parking Brake or Shift to P Gear First When Parking an Automatic Transmission Car?

When parking an automatic transmission car, you should shift to P gear first and then engage the electronic parking brake. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. When parking, press the brake, shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, release the brake, and then shift to P gear. The gear positions include: 1. P (Parking/Starting gear); 2. R (Reverse gear); 3. N (Neutral gear); 4. D (Drive gear); 5. L (Low gear); 6. S (Sport mode); 7. OD (Overdrive gear). The correct way to use an automatic transmission is: 1. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear. To shift out of P gear, you must press the brake, turn on the power, press the brake, shift to N gear, and after ignition, shift to D gear to move forward directly. 2. When switching between N, D, and 3rd gear, you don't need to press the shift button. To shift from 3rd gear to lower restricted gears, you must press the shift button, but shifting from lower to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button. 3. Do not shift to N gear while driving to coast. 4. Never push into P gear while driving. 5. After driving, you must turn off the engine and shift to P gear before removing the key.
