What are the effects of turning off the engine without shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
Turning off the engine without shifting to P gear can damage the transmission and engine. It is recommended to shift to P gear before parking and turning off the engine. The following are specific details about P gear: 1. Principle: Mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the vehicle and prevent it from moving. 2. Vehicle parking sequence: After the car has come to a complete stop on a flat road, shift the gear from D gear to P gear, then engage the handbrake to complete parking, and finally turn off the engine. 3. Safe parking: If you brake directly without shifting to P gear, the vehicle may lose its necessary braking ability. The safest and most secure practice is to shift to P gear after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
