Cevap
Shift the transmission to neutral, apply firm and steady brake pressure, signal and maneuver safely to the right shoulder, and turn off the engine once parked.
Shifting the transmission directly to neutral disengages the engine's torque from the drive wheels while preserving power steering and power braking support. Once in neutral, smooth braking and controlled steering to the road shoulder allow the driver to stop safely before turning off the engine.
