Which gear should an automatic transmission car be in when parked?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars should be in P (Park) gear when parked. Below is information about related gears: 1. R (Reverse) gear: Engage this gear when reversing. Before shifting into R gear, make sure the vehicle has completely stopped and the engine speed is not too high, otherwise the transmission may be damaged or even cause an accident. 2. N (Neutral) gear: Neutral gear is generally used for brief stops. You can directly shift the gear lever from R or D gear into N gear. Before shifting out of N gear, press the brake pedal and do not press the accelerator pedal. 3. P (Park) gear: This gear is usually engaged after the vehicle is completely stopped. Before shifting from P gear to any other gear, ensure the engine is started and the brake pedal is fully depressed.
