What happens if you start the car without shifting to neutral?

Neutral parking mainly depends on whether it's an automatic or manual transmission. Manual transmission vehicles are not affected. The consequences of parking an automatic transmission car in neutral and the correct method for parking and turning off the engine are as follows: 1. Neutral prerequisite: Turning off the engine in neutral is not a problem for the car. The engine can only be turned off in N (neutral) or P (park) gear. Turning off the engine in D (drive) or R (reverse) gear can damage the transmission. The prerequisite for neutral is to ensure the car is on a flat surface to prevent rolling. 2. Correct method for parking and turning off the engine: Shift from the driving gear to N gear, stay in N gear for 0.5-1 second, then directly push to P gear, and then apply the handbrake. 3. Gear shifting: This operation ensures that the gear is not switched twice in a row during shifting. The action should be smooth. Each gear has a notch, and although you pass through R gear, you are not actually shifting to R gear.
