Should You Shift to P or N First When Parking an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
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.
