What is the correct procedure for parking and turning off the engine in a tenth-generation Accord?

[LeDavid]

The correct method for turning off the engine is to park the car, shift to P gear, wait until it is completely stationary, release the brake, and then press the engine stop button once. First, press the start button once. After the ACC light comes on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button will turn green, and the vehicle will perform a self-check.

When I want to park my 10th-generation Accord, I make sure everything is safe and secure. First, I drive the car to a flat spot, step on the brake to stop, then release my foot and shift to P (Park). Next, I engage the electronic parking brake to lock the wheels, and slowly release the brake to confirm the car won’t roll. Only then do I turn off the engine and check if the windows and rearview mirrors are properly closed. Before pulling out the key and exiting, I take one last look at the dashboard for any warning lights. This sequence is crucial, especially when parking on a slope—shifting directly to P without engaging the parking brake can wear out transmission components. I believe developing this habit helps reduce vehicle damage and extend its lifespan. As a side note, turning off the AC and music before shutting down the engine can save battery power.

When I park my Accord, the process is quite simple: after firmly stopping by pressing the brake, I directly shift to P gear, press the electronic parking brake button, and that's it. Then, I easily turn off the engine, remove the key, and get out of the car. Modern car designs are very intelligent; the electronic parking brake automatically locks, ensuring safety without any extra worry. Even on slopes, don’t be afraid of the car rolling—just follow the steps directly. Before turning off the engine, I adjust the seat and steering wheel for the next drive and check if anything is left in the car. Remember, you must press the brake before shifting to P gear, otherwise, the transmission might get damaged—a point beginners often forget.

Parking is crucial for family cars. When driving an Accord, I first press the brake to stop, shift to P gear, pull the handbrake, and then turn off the engine—the sequence must not be messed up to avoid malfunctions. On slopes, pay extra attention to pulling the handbrake tightly to protect the transmission. After turning off the engine, check that the doors are closed to ensure child safety. The whole process is quick, taking just a minute, and developing this habit prevents oversights.
