What is the correct method for shutting down an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
The correct steps for shutting down an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. First, slow down the car and press the brake, then shift into N (Neutral) gear. 2. Engage the handbrake firmly and release the foot brake. Once the car comes to a complete stop, shift into P (Park) gear. 3. Finally, turn off the ignition and remove the key to complete the shutdown process. Below is some information about automatic transmissions: (1) Automatic transmission cars typically use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch found in manual transmission cars, hence there is no clutch pedal. (2) When the engine speed of an automatic transmission car is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. (3) When the gear selector of an automatic transmission car is placed in the drive (D) position and the brake pedal is released, increasing the throttle and engine speed raises the transmitted torque, enabling the car to move forward.
