What are the steps to park an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission car parking steps are as follows: Press the brake -- Pull the handbrake -- Shift into P gear -- Release the brake -- Turn off the ignition and remove the key. Many car owners are accustomed to shifting into P gear first and then pulling the handbrake, which is incorrect. Because shifting into P gear first puts stress on the transmission, while pulling the handbrake first puts stress on the handbrake. If you shift into P gear first, the hazards are as follows: 1. If you shift into P gear first and then pull the handbrake, it's fine on flat ground, but if you happen to be on a slope, you may encounter difficulty moving the gear lever when starting the car. This is because the transmission is under stress at this time, and the locking force between the gears is very strong, making it hard to move the gear lever. 2. Not being able to move the transmission doesn't have much impact, but over time, it can wear out the transmission and reduce its lifespan. 3. In case of unexpected situations, the transmission may be directly damaged. For example, if the car is rear-ended by another vehicle, forcing the car to start.
