What are the hazards of parking without pulling the handbrake and only shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
The hazards of parking without pulling the handbrake and only shifting to P gear are: 1. The vehicle may roll; 2. On a slope, if the handbrake is not engaged, the entire weight of the vehicle sliding downward will be borne by the transmission parking mechanism, which can damage the transmission. The correct parking procedure for an automatic transmission is: first press the brake, then shift to neutral, pull the handbrake, shift to P gear, and finally turn off the engine. Engaging the handbrake transfers the main parking force to the braking system, thereby maximizing protection for the car's transmission. It is essential to develop good driving habits in daily driving. Sometimes, minor issues may not have an immediate significant impact, but over time, they can cause damage to the vehicle.
