Donut Supercharged March 16, 2012 Share March 16, 2012 Nothing will happen on flat ground the the SOP for on slop is. 1) In D. Hold Brake. 2) Shift to N. Still Holding Brake. 3) Pull Handbrake. Still in N. 4) Release Brake. Car will shift weight to handbrake. 5) Put to P. This is to make sure the weight of the car (stress) is on the handbrake and not gearbox. Really arh??! Oh gosh, I have been doing this: from D, I step foot brake, then shift gear to P. Then I pull hand brake. Will anything go wrong to my gearbox? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u just put to P and let the weight rest on the gearbox.. when u try shifting from P to D again.. u can feel resistance. but if you let the weight rest on handbrake..no resistance very smooth.

Shift from P to D before releasing the handbrake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorinser 1st Gear March 17, 2012 Share March 17, 2012 i usually park using P and dun use handbrake.... unless there is a slope. i heard from mechanic is that at P, a small shaft in the gearbox is holding and is not a very strong. so advisable to use handbrake on a slope.

Had to revive this thread due to an issue I'm having.... Is it ok if the car continues to slide downhill on a slope after step no.4 and only stops when brake padel is depressed and 'P' engaged?

Kangadrool Supersonic July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 not very ok if you have pulled all the way up. Get the handbrake cable re-tightened. Slight move is OK on steep slope as handbrake only hold rear brake. But, if car continues to slide down, then something is not right. Had to revive this thread due to an issue I'm having....

Is it ok if the car continues to slide downhill on a slope after step no.4 and only stops when brake padel is depressed and 'P' engaged? You need to consider also about how steep is the slope, and how many passengers in the car, during the moment of sliding down.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car shouldn't be rolling when the handbrake is fully engage/pulled up. It means that your handbrake is not effective enough to stop your car. Go and have your handbrake cable tighten. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
