Automatic car gear selection when stopping at a red light is as follows: 1. If the red light is less than 30 seconds, it is recommended that the driver simply keep the brake pedal pressed. 2. For red lights between 30 seconds and 1 minute, the driver should shift to N gear + handbrake. 3. When the red light lasts more than one minute, it is recommended to directly shift to P gear + handbrake. 4. Besides waiting at traffic lights, automatic cars also have situations like engine-off parking or long-term idling parking. In these cases, the gear should be shifted to P gear, because when P gear is engaged, the parking pawl in the transmission will engage with the parking gear, thus locking the vehicle's drivetrain. The correct parking method is to first press the brake pedal, shift to N gear, then apply the handbrake and release the brake pedal. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift to P gear.
