Disadvantages of shifting to P gear after turning off the engine in N gear: Generally, vehicles may slightly move forward or backward due to uneven road surfaces. At this time, the P gear transmission has an engagement device that is locked with the transmission gears, and this movement may cause some impact on the transmission gears. Over time, it may lead to loosening of the transmission gears. Below is the correct sequence for parking an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. First, press the brake to stop the car—shift to N gear—engage the handbrake—shift to P gear—turn off the engine and remove the key. Press the brake to bring the car to a complete stop, then shift to N gear for parking. Remember not to release the brake during this time, then engage the handbrake. At this point, you can release the brake slightly to check if the car rolls, to determine if the handbrake is properly engaged. 2. If the car does not move, press the brake again to shift to P gear, then release the brake slightly to check. Finally, if there are no issues, you can turn off the engine and remove the key while pressing the brake, then release the foot brake and exit the vehicle.
