Start the Car First or Pull the Handbrake First?
1 Answers
In general, most car enthusiasts start the engine first and then release the handbrake. If you prefer to release the handbrake before starting the engine, that's also acceptable, but you must press the brake pedal to prevent the car from rolling. There is no fixed sequence—you can either engage the P gear first or pull the handbrake first. Here is more information about braking and gear shifting: 1. When driving, it doesn't matter whether you release the handbrake first or shift gears first. Either way, it won't damage the car. 2. In daily use, it's advisable to carefully read the owner's manual. The operating methods provided in the manual are all correct, and the manufacturer's user manual and instructions are very useful. It's recommended to keep the manual and user guide in the glove compartment of the passenger seat so you can refer to them whenever you have questions. 3. When driving an automatic transmission car, always ensure the car is completely stopped before shifting into P or R gear, otherwise, it may damage the transmission. Do not shift into N gear while coasting, as this can affect the lubrication and cooling of the automatic transmission. 4. During regular use, be sure to perform timely maintenance and replace wear-prone parts on schedule to keep the car in optimal condition.
