In an automatic transmission car, you should shift gears first and then release the handbrake. The precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car are: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting gears; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. To remove the gear lever from P gear, you must press the brake; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the car is moving; 7. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears should be done only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can increase the temperature of internal transmission components and cause damage.
