Should You Shift to P Gear When Parking for Refueling?
1 Answers
It is necessary to shift to P gear when parking for refueling. Below is an introduction to the P gear: 1. Principle: The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the vehicle and prevent it from moving. 2. Vehicle parking sequence: After the vehicle comes to a complete stop on a level road, shift the gear from D to P, then engage the handbrake to complete the parking process before turning off the engine. 3. Safe parking: If you only apply the brakes without shifting to P gear, the vehicle may lose its intended braking capability. The safest and most secure practice is to shift to P gear after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
