Why does the car shake when shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
Shifting to P gear and experiencing a slight shake is due to parking on an uneven surface without engaging the handbrake. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Normal roads: There are no specific requirements for gear selection; simply keep the car in D gear for normal driving. 2. Parking: When the engine stops, shift to P gear to indicate the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P gear to remove the key. 3. Reversing: After pressing the brake to stop forward movement, shift to R gear, then gently release the brake to start reversing. 4. Waiting or driving in congested traffic: Shift to N gear. 5. Highways or overtaking at speed: Shift to S gear. S gear is the car's sport mode, allowing free gear changes like D gear. It can also be used when climbing hills.
