Should You Leave the Car in P or N Gear When Parking for a Long Time Without Turning Off the Engine?

Leave the car in P gear when parking for a long time without turning off the engine. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: Normal roads: There are no specific requirements for the gear. You can drive normally by keeping the car in D gear. Parking: When the engine stops running, shift the gear to P to indicate that the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P gear to remove the car key. Reversing: After pressing the brake and ensuring the car stops moving forward, shift to R gear. Gently release the brake to start reversing. Waiting while parked: When driving on congested roads, you can shift to N gear. Highways: When overtaking at high speeds, you can shift to S gear. S gear is the car's sport mode, allowing free gear changes like D gear. You can also choose S gear when climbing slopes, as this gear provides the maximum torque output and acceleration.
