Sequence of actions for parking a car with an automatic transmission:
1. Make sure the shift lever is in the Park (P) position. This mechanically locks the transmission.
2. Park in the designated area. Use mirrors and parking sensors (if equipped) to assist in precise maneuvering.
3. Turn off the engine. This will stop the fuel flow and lock the steering wheel.
4. Put the car on the parking brake. This will help prevent the vehicle from moving if the parking gear fails.
5. Remove the keys from the ignition. This will lock the doors and activate the security system.
Additional tips:
* Do not park the vehicle while it is on a slope or uneven surface.
*If you need to park on a slope, turn the steering wheel toward the curb. This will help prevent the car from rolling away.
*Do not use the parking brake as your only parking method. Always place the vehicle in Park (P) before applying the parking brake.
* Check and service the parking brake regularly to ensure it is in good working order.
