Steps to turn off the car with the key: After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift to neutral, engage the parking brake, release the clutch and brake pedals, reset the lights, and turn the key to the OFF position. Generally, turning the key counterclockwise once shuts off the engine, while turning it twice cuts off all power. Here are the correct steps to park and turn off an automatic transmission vehicle: 1.
