What is the parking sequence for an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission car parking sequence is as follows: 1. Press the foot brake to stop the car. 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral). 3. Engage the handbrake and turn off the engine. 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power (to confirm that the vehicle is completely stationary under the effect of the handbrake). 5. Press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Parking). 6. Release the foot brake. 7. Turn the key back to the off position, turn off the power, and remove the key. Here is an explanation of the automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P—Parking, the parking gear, also the starting position. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2. R—Reverse, the reverse gear. Used when reversing the car. 3. N—Neutral, the neutral gear. Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear position means neutral, and to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed. 4. D—Drive, the forward gear, also known as the driving gear. Used when moving forward.
