What is the parking sequence for the new Regal?
1 Answers
The parking sequence for the new Regal is: stop and press the brake pedal – shift to N gear – release the foot brake – engage the handbrake – turn off the engine – shift to P gear. Damage: When parking, the usual sequence is to shift to P gear, release the brake, engage the handbrake, and then turn off the engine. However, this sequence can cause significant damage to an automatic transmission vehicle. This is because in all automatic transmission vehicles, when shifted to P gear, a hook in the transmission locks onto the gear. Sequence: It is essential to first let the car level itself or use the handbrake to firmly stabilize the vehicle before turning off the engine and shifting to P gear. If the parking sequence is: shift to P gear – release the foot brake – engage the handbrake – turn off the engine, the transmission will suffer. Even a slight slope can cause the steel claw and gear to strain, keeping the transmission under stress until the next drive. In such cases, starting the car will produce a loud humming noise from the transmission, and the car may shake. Shifting from P gear to other gears will be very difficult, and the sudden disengagement can cause significant impact damage to the gears.
