What damage does turning off the car without shifting to P gear cause?
1 Answers
Turning off the car without shifting to P gear can damage the transmission and engine. It is recommended to shift to P gear before parking and turning off the car. The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the car, preventing it from moving. Below are some precautions for driving: 1. Increase the distance from the vehicle in poor lighting conditions: If directing someone to park at night or in low-light conditions, maintain a greater distance from the vehicle and remind the driver to slow down to ensure absolute safety during parking. 2. Improve judgment to ensure safety: Drivers can learn from professional parking attendants. When directing parking, stand in the opposite direction of the vehicle's movement. For example, when the car is reversing, stand diagonally in front to guide the vehicle into position. Anticipate when the vehicle is approaching obstacles or objects behind it, then move to the side to assist in directing. This ensures effective guidance, though it requires some judgment from the director. 3. Blind spots: There are many blind spots when the driver is inside the car, and these blind spots are most critical for the director to observe, especially in narrow parking environments. Therefore, the director may sometimes unavoidably stand in the driver's blind spot. In such cases, intentionally stay 2-3 meters away from the vehicle. This distance does not hinder communication but ensures the director's safety.
