Should You Engage the Handbrake First or Shift to P Gear First
1 Answers
You should engage the handbrake first before shifting to P gear. Here are the specific reasons: 1. The entire braking work is undertaken by the braking system. 2. The P gear only serves as an auxiliary braking function, with all internal moving parts in a completely relaxed state. 3. When starting the vehicle next time, shifting the gear lever out of P gear will feel very smooth and effortless. 4. The P gear, as a parking gear, has a certain parking braking force. Its locking mechanism consists of a parking lock with locking teeth and a parking lock gear with gears. Here is some extended information: 1. The P gear, commonly known as the parking gear, locks the transmission shaft when parked, achieving an auxiliary braking effect. 2. The P gear in an automatic transmission uses a claw mechanism to lock the transmission output shaft.
