What are the parking steps for an automatic transmission car?

[MacIsabelle]

Parking steps for an automatic transmission car: First, press the brake to bring the car to a gradual stop, shift the gear from D to N, then engage the handbrake, and finally turn off the engine. After the engine is off, shift the gear to P. For automatic transmission cars, you can generally turn off the engine in either N or P gear, neither of which will damage the car's engine. Although P gear is the parking gear, it should not be used as a substitute for the handbrake. When parking on a slope, engaging P gear can hold the car, but to prevent the car from rolling on steeper slopes, it's advisable to use the handbrake in conjunction with P gear. After parking, lock the car, remember to close all windows and doors, and take your personal belongings with you.
