What are the hazards of turning off the engine directly without shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
The hazard of turning off the engine directly without shifting to P gear is that it affects the lifespan of the transmission. P gear is a common gear in automatic transmission models, usually located at the frontmost position of the gear shift console, in front of the R gear. Its purpose is to lock the axle and stop the vehicle when the car is stationary on a slope. The gears of an automatic transmission car include: P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, S gear, and L gear. The correct parking steps are: 1. Press the car's brake pedal to slow down the vehicle; 2. Move the vehicle into the parking position; 3. Place the car's gear lever in the P gear position; 4. Pull up the car's electronic handbrake switch; 5. Press the car's start button to turn off the engine.
