Should You Engage the Handbrake or Turn Off the Engine First When Parking?
1 Answers
When parking, you should first engage the handbrake and shift to neutral before turning off the engine. When driving to a suitable distance at the roadside, press the clutch and brake, then shift the gear to neutral, engage the handbrake, and only release the clutch and brake before turning off the engine. Parking methods: For automatic transmission vehicles, first shift the gear to N (Neutral), then engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, reset the turn signal, and turn off the engine. Next, shift the gear to P (Park), and finally unfasten the seatbelt before exiting the vehicle. Parking precautions: There are two key points to note when parking an automatic transmission car. First, do not shift into P (Park) while the engine is running. Second, engage the handbrake before shifting into P (Park), ensuring the force is applied to the handbrake rather than the P gear.
