    Engage the P (Park) if you will really park the car and will soon switch off the engine.

    Remember to activate the Park/Hand break before shifting to P (Park).

    I didn't know this. Una ako lagi set sa Park position ang gear then handbrake. If you come to think of it, mukha Mas maaalagaan ang tranny if you engage the handbrake first noh. Hmmmm. Gurus, may significant effect bato palagay nyo?

    i handbrake first, before i P.
    the P position is not designed to carry heavier loads. with sufficient pressure, it can break.
    the handbrake is designed to handle pressure. in many cars, when challenged, it will usually slip, but not break.

    The parking brakes are not designed to hold pressure but to hold against the wheel rotational torque. The parking brakes use Force to hold.

    In some cases, as in the case of a jetliner, the hydraulic pressure is used to apply Force to the brakes to keep the wheels from turning and aircraft break away.


    There is a big distinction between Force and pressure

    Same. When parking i usually shift to N, engage the handbrake, then shift to P.

    At stoplights if i know it will be along wait then i shift to N and lift the hand brake. If i know i'll be stopped for around 20 seconds or less i may opt to just keep the car in D and hold the brake.

    Me too. I never put the car in Park in a traffic stop or anywhere on the road unless I intend to park the car.

    i have read about vehicles getting their P function "dis-abled", when their vehicle got bumped from behind. a tranny component got bent or cracked off.

    i used to kill the my diesel engine also, in long-ish red light, to help conserve fuel.
    my trips are "not long".
    hayun. my battery died 2 weeks after the 12 month warranty.
