Should You Press the Brake When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission Car While Driving?
1 Answers
Whether you need to press the brake when shifting gears in an automatic transmission car while driving depends on the situation: it is mandatory to press the brake only when shifting from P (Park) to other gears; switching between other gears does not require pressing the brake. Automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car include: 1. Do not shift into P (Park) while driving; 2. After driving, you must turn off the engine and shift into P (Park) before removing the key; 3. Do not shift into N (Neutral) to coast while driving; 4. When starting the vehicle in P (Park) or N (Neutral), shift the gear lever out of P (Park) while pressing the brake, turn on the power while pressing the brake, shift to N (Neutral), and after ignition, shift to D (Drive) to move forward directly.
