What is the parking method for automatic transmission cars?
1 Answers
Parking method for automatic transmission cars: 1. Bring the car to a complete stop and keep the brake pedal depressed, then shift the gear to N (Neutral); 2. Engage the parking brake and release the foot brake to ensure the car is stationary; 3. Shift to P (Park) and turn off the engine. It's important to always shift to P (Park). Essentially, P (Park) can be thought of as N (Neutral), but with an additional locking mechanism. When shifted to P (Park), a locking pin engages with the output shaft gear of the transmission, securing it in place and preventing the vehicle from moving. Automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).
