Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift to P Gear First When Parking?
1 Answers
When parking, it is acceptable to either engage the handbrake first or shift to P gear first. The P gear is the parking gear, which is used when parking and turning off the engine. Every automatic transmission car has a P gear. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in automatic cars: AT transmission, CVT transmission, and dual-clutch transmission. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, except that it has an additional set of clutches and a gear-shifting control mechanism. One set of clutches in a dual-clutch transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other set controls the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast gear-shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency.
