Should You Press the Brake After Turning Off an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
You need to press the brake after turning off an automatic transmission car. Below are the specific details for parking an automatic transmission car: 1. There are two methods for parking an automatic transmission car: The first method involves pressing the brake, engaging the handbrake, shifting to P (Park), and turning off the engine. The second method involves pressing the brake, engaging the handbrake, shifting to N (Neutral), turning off the engine, and then shifting to P (Park). 2. It is important to note that when shifting into P (Park), the handbrake should be engaged first. The P (Park) mode serves as an auxiliary brake, providing dual protection, especially when parking on a slope. Additional Information: If parking on a slope without fully engaging the handbrake before shifting into P (Park), the car may slightly roll. At this point, the internal locking mechanism of P (Park) engages tightly with the transmission. The P (Park) mode is what truly prevents the car from rolling. If you attempt to shift out of P (Park) later, you may encounter difficulty due to the tight engagement between the transmission and the P (Park) mechanism.
