Parking on a slope does not require shifting to neutral. Below is relevant information about parking an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Parking Procedure: The correct parking procedure involves first pressing the brake, then shifting from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), followed by engaging the mechanical handbrake or electronic parking brake. This step ensures that all the force is borne by the handbrake. Then, shift from N to P (Park), and finally turn off the engine. This is the correct parking procedure. 2. Parking on a Slope: When parking on a slope, it is even more important to follow the above sequence of operations. If you shift directly from D to P when parking on a slope, it can cause significant damage to the transmission because the transmission's locking mechanism will bear a great deal of force.
