When parking an automatic transmission car, you should shift to N first and then to P. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. Press the foot brake to stop the car; 2. Shift the gear from D to N; 3. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine; 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power; 5. Press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N to P; 6. Release the foot brake and turn the key back; 7. Turn off the power and remove the key. An automatic transmission refers to a system where the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The automatic transmission uses Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) to meet driving needs.

What Causes White Smoke from Diesel Engines?

Here are the reasons why diesel engines emit white smoke: 1. Low engine temperature: If white smoke appears during startup in winter, it is usually due to the engine temperature being too low and not yet reaching optimal operating conditions; 2. Water in the fuel supply system: If you place your hand behind the exhaust pipe and water droplets form on your hand when white smoke passes over it, this indicates the presence of water in the fuel supply system; 3. Low air pressure in the engine cylinders: If the engine emits white smoke at low temperatures and black smoke when warmed up, it suggests that the air pressure in the cylinders is too low; 4. Low fuel injection system pressure: If the engine emits grayish-white smoke and the vehicle lacks power during acceleration after startup, this indicates that the fuel injection system pressure is too low.
