What is the correct shutdown sequence for a Mercedes-Benz vehicle?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz vehicle shutdown procedure is as follows: 1. First, ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop. 2. Shift into P gear and engage the parking brake. 3. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and lock it. Below are detailed explanations about P gear and N gear for automatic transmission vehicles: 1. P gear has a locking mechanism while N gear does not. 2. N gear is suitable for temporary stops without shutting off the engine, such as waiting at traffic lights or briefly parked with the engine running. 3. P gear should be used when parking and shutting off the engine. After shifting into P gear, the transmission's locking mechanism will secure the gearbox gears, preventing vehicle movement even without applying the parking brake.
