The sequence for using the automatic parking function in an automatic transmission vehicle is: 1. Press the foot brake; 2. Shift from N (Neutral) to R (Reverse); 3. Release the handbrake; 4. Observe the rear route through the rearview mirror; 5. Gradually release the foot brake; 6. After reversing to the designated position, press the foot brake, pull up the handbrake, and then release the foot brake; 7. Press the foot brake and shift from R to N; 8. Release the foot brake. The gears in an automatic transmission vehicle are: 1. D (Drive) for forward movement; 2. S (Sport) for sport mode driving; 3. P (Park) for parking; 4. N (Neutral) for neutral; 5. L (Low) for low-speed driving; 6. W (Winter) for snow or rain conditions; 7. R (Reverse) for reversing.
When driving an automatic transmission car, my parking sequence follows these steps: first, slow down and apply the brakes. After the car comes to a complete stop, check if the auto-hold indicator light on the dashboard is illuminated, which keeps the car stationary on slopes or in traffic jams. Then, shift the gear lever to the P (Park) position. Finally, turn off the engine. Developing this habit has made driving both safer and more convenient. Once, I forgot to activate it at a red light, and the car slightly slid, giving me a scare. Since then, I always check if the system is functioning properly. During regular vehicle maintenance, I ask the mechanic to test the parking function to prevent malfunctions due to wear and tear. Overall, the operation is simple, but maintaining consistency boosts driving confidence, especially at busy intersections or in parking lots.
