The expert spoke about the main mistake when parking a car with automatic transmission
After parking the car, drivers often put the automatic transmission selector in (P) mode and turn off the engine, and then run into problems. About this writes the publication “Behind the wheel”.
Often, drivers who have a car with automatic transmission do not use the parking brake, but in vain, especially on removals. As a result of such actions, the load of the body “falls” on the latch of the latch on the shaft of the automatic transmission. Such a latch wears out over time and then begins to slip.
The cable for the automatic transmission control drive is pulled out, which means that difficulties with the electrician begin: the reversing lights are buggy, the starter may even fail. Expert of the publication “Behind the wheel” Alexey Revin recommends that when parking a car with automatic transmission on a slope, always use the “handbrake”, and do this before moving the transmission lever to the “parking” position.
The expert also advises not to move the gearbox selector to position P until the car didn’t stop completely. Otherwise, the latch will make a crack, and steel particles chipped from the surfaces will get into the automatic transmission fluid.
Alexey Revin He also told how to properly park on a slope in a car with an “automatic”. When parking, you need to depress the brake pedal, then, without releasing it, apply the parking brake, thereby reducing the load on the mechanical or electric drive. And only after that you need to move the automatic transmission selector to position P. When returning behind the wheel of the car, the driver must act in the reverse order: depress the brake pedal, then switch the “automatic” selector to mode D or “reverse” ®and only then release the parking brake.
