What are the steps for parking a manual transmission car?

Manual transmission car parking steps are: 1. First, turn on the right or left turn signal, then gently press the brake to reduce speed, check the right rearview mirror, and slowly drive to the right; 2. When the speed is relatively low, press the clutch pedal, pay attention to the distance between the right side and the roadside line when entering the parking space. After the car is stationary, shift the gear to neutral, turn off the turn signal, pull the handbrake, and then turn off the engine. The parking mantra for manual transmission models is as follows: one signal, two brake, three look, four clutch, five stop, six handbrake, seven neutral, eight turn off, nine release, ten loosen the brake. Manual transmission is a manual gearbox, also known as manual transmission, which means that the gear lever must be manually moved to change the gear meshing device inside the gearbox, thereby changing the transmission ratio to achieve the purpose of shifting gears.
Every time I park, I make it a habit to first slow down to a safe spot, such as a roadside parking space or garage. Then, I press the clutch pedal to disconnect the power, preventing the car from suddenly lurching forward or damaging the transmission. Shifting to neutral allows the engine to run smoothly, followed by pulling the handbrake to secure the wheels and ensure stability. Finally, I turn off the engine to save fuel. When parking on a slope, I specifically turn the steering wheel toward the curb direction, so that if the handbrake fails, the car won't roll away. The entire process takes about ten seconds to complete, but it's crucial to develop this habit to avoid parking accidents like rolling or starting difficulties. Remember to check that the car is securely parked before leaving.
