Here's Why You Should Use The Parking Brake BEFORE Shifting Into Park

- In this video, I tell you why you should use the parking brake before shifting into park. If you are driving an automatic car, you will likely be shifting the gear selector into park and then applying the parking brake (depending on what you were taught). However, you should always be engaging the emergency brake before you shift into park. I tell you exactly why that is the case in this video.

For Real...
Why does he have to yell at me -_-
Goated comment😂😂
Lmaoooooooo
😅😅😂
This was a great video! It was good to hear you mention how you hold the brakes down until both the primary and emergency brakes are done . I struggled with the order of placing my vehicle in park.
Answered my question directly.. thanks man, no visual aids but easily understood by most drivers!!
Been doing this for years... something my dad taught me from when I first started driving...now it's just habit for me no matter what car I drive.
Never skip the emergency brake, even on flat surfaces like in a parking lot. If someone taps you from behind, they can ruin your transmission in one shot. Is it likely? Probably not, but why chance it.
Good video, and explanation of how it works!
Just be careful in winter. Handbrakes can freeze.
Could you elaborate?
Thanks for the info bro.. i am doing it opposite so its wrong method. I am doing park first then brake pedal then turn off engine.. now i will chnge that bad habit . Thanks again to you👍👍👋
My mechanic cousin told me to do this and I stuck with it all his time it makes sense you want to be gentle with expensive trans.
You forgot after you put the parking brake on while still having your foot on the brakes, put it into neutral, remove foot from brakes then put it into park. Putting it into neutral will put the weight of the car onto the brakes.
I totally agree with you! I used to park by normally just shifting into park when on a flat surface until I learned online that I was actually supposed to use the parking brake even when on a flat surface. When compared to a manual transmission, park to me is actually like first gear in a manual car, which will keep the car from rolling even if the e-brake fails. So this is the method I used to park since then…
1. Stop
2. Shift to Neutral
3. Engage Parking Brake.
4. Release Brake Pedal
5. Depress Brake Pedal Again
6. Shift to Park.
Is there a reason why you release the brake pedal after engaging the parking brake? Is there something wrong with just keeping your foot on the brake pedal until after you put the car in Park?
Thank you man! If I'm going to set the vehicle in motion, should I disengage the parking brake AFTER moving the gearshift lever in drive (D)?
How do you take the parking brake off correctly when you want to start driving ????
Thanks for the information!!! I do appreciate it and make a lot of sense
Are you serious?
modern cars do not require this nonsense. if you do something wrong, u get a message in the front panel. , like press brake pedal and shift to P before starting the car. ( audi a6)
it’s not a dumb question, no need to be a dick without an answer (making it look like you don’t know.) is it better to shift into reverse/drive, and then let off the e brake? or e brake first, and then shift? not that it really matters
parking pawl-a hammer-shaped pin-is released into one of the grooves in your transmission gear to keep it from turning. Unless you use your parking brake, this tiny pin is all that's stopping your 2-ton vehicle from rolling off without you
Hi, are there a right sequence to park an AT car? Is this correct?
1. Foot on brake
2. Shift to N
3. Hand/park brake
4. Shift to P
5. Release foot on brake
What if you have a dual clutch transmission
Honestly, just put it in park and hit the parking break. Dont overthink it.
I would think so too but when I do it in that order it makes my shift to reverse much smoother
I have an automatic transmission. And i use to put the car in P before engaging the handbrake and I would (when parked on even a slight incline) hear my transmission/gearbox make a noise i felt was not good.
So when i started doing the sequence as you listed it, that noise went away.
So always put the car in neutral, then lift the handbrake so the weight of the car is resting on the handbrake and not the transmission, THEN put the car in Park.
How about if you want to drive the car? What are the sequence to start?
My mother in law needs to watch this vid. No matter how many times I ask her to apply the parking brake in my wife's car when she drives she doesn't. She broke the shifter cable in her own car twice trying to shift it out of park.
so when parked, are you supposed to shift out and then drop the e brake?
E-break do NOT use on snow. Over night will get freezed up and in the morning when you release the e-break it will not function the wheels will still be locked up! They will automatically work again if you keep your car warming up for like 2 hours lol
We have regular -20c winters. If you use it every day it should be fine. If it freezes the handbrake cables could be worn out and it wont properly lubricate inside the wire. You should have your cables replaced. Had this happen to me in a 2003 year model car. Very annoying to try to get to work and the wheels wont spin. Had to floor it for a while to get them unstuck :D
@@981moro true
@@981moro we got -30c -40c winters if you drive for a while and heat up you brakes then drive threw a foot of snow all 4 tires can be frozen solid, and have to put it in 4x4 low to get moving.
Thanks for this. Very informative . But what about when you’re in a stop traffic light, is it advisable to shift N ( rest your foot squeezing break pedal) or stay on D and just pull the hand break then release the foot break pedal?
Depends do you have a newer vehicle with start and stop technology? If not then it doesnt hurt to do that if you keep your foot on the brake. The worst is usually when you are moving very slowly. Some dual clutch cars really dont like that. For example you stop move slowly 1meter stop move slowly 3meter etc.
The best thing is to actually stay in drive, keep ur foot on the brake and do not apply the handbrake or switch to neutral. This is because u have the most control in drive
Hi Sir, when I start the car should I shift immediately to D before release the hand break?
Thanks for your video, so helpful.
Which one should I release first before start driving?
foot on brake pedal. release parking brake. engage the gear you want. foot off brake pedal.
Heeyy evverrybodddyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Thank you so much. you're a great teacher!
Just what I was searching for! Good man 🎉
New driver here. THANK YOU
How’s driving been so far??!
When I start the car, should I shift out of park into drive or release hand brake first?
So basically just make sure that some form of brake is engaged at all times while in park right?
You are a very good teacher. I am proud of you.
Well understood and thanks 😊 👍
Can I do the same (as per your advice) when the car is stationary with the engine on for quite sometime
It honestly doesn't matter. As long as you got both engaged your fine. Your never going to have a parking paw go out due to weight they're designed for weight there may be 1 or 2 freak cases but this will not happen. It genuinely does not matter which order you do it, the transmission is built to deal with weights and the parking paw are built to deal with weight you won't get any crazy extra amount of life from either by doing this in this order.
Even if you are right about that, I know for a fact that fixing the handbrake would be way cheaper than having to fix or replace a transmission.
So i would say it definitely matters.
This is a good information. I now understand why my dad always instructed me to do so.
Ohh... So that's why there's a clunking sound whenever I shift the gear to drive because I'm doing it wrong.. Thanks very helpful tip.
YEES!!!! For me that sound was AWEFUL and frightening. Felt like I was causing damage.
Thank you sir
Appreciate the clear explanation. I usually park on an incline.
Why does it keep a noise when I move from park although I pull the parking brakes prior to putting it in park?
The noise is like a metal hitting another metal.
I'm no expert, but that sounds like that the weight of the car rests on the parking pawl.. maybe you can try releasing the footbrake once the parking brake is engaged, then you can put the transmission into park.
It goes into drive much smoother to when your parked on a hill instead of hearing that grinding noise when not using it on inclines
How do you start driving ? Disengage the parking brake first and then put the car from P to D ?
Hi mam please tell us why parking gear is thier instead of we can use handbrake and neutral then why it is thier p mode in all auto transmission
Love the enthusiasm
Thank you sir
Best explanation
Thankyou
Good instructions! Thank you....
So what comes first when releasing? For automatic cars. Let’s say you’re in a hill and you’re going to drive. Do you release the parking break first or put the gear to drive then release the parking break? Same goes for the flat surface.
somebody replied to push down the brake pedal, release the e brake, then shift into gear
thank you !!!!
Do i apply parking break in drive or neutral
How about for manual transmission. What is the correct way to park? Shift to 1st gear first then engage parking brake or the other way around before switch off the engine?
i thought it was to shift into neutral and then e brake before shifting to park
Personally I shift into neutral, pull ebrake, then put into park. The vehicle usually drops once I take my foot off the brake showing me the weight is on the ebrake. Have always done it this way.
Do you release the brake at the end or before putting into park? Or does it matter?
@@pepitolopez4233 personally I release my break before putting into park
So do I leave my car in drive then immediately put handbrake
So, even in a flat parking lot, i should put my parking stick break before i shift in P? I have hyundai 2020. So, when i park, i should put in N then up my break stick then shift to P? Am i rigjt sir?
I always do it since I’m used to driving standard, but a while some stupid kid parked next to me and got out without putting the brake on and as they got out the car started rolling and they slammed their door into my car..
Good information 🤔🧐.
A few ppl argue this fact with me.. this is gonna be funny 😁
So is a parking brake required on a level surface? Also is it okay if I just hold the brake down and then go into park and then put the parking brake on?
Even on a leveled surface, anything can happen so I think you should use the parking brake.
Another car or moving object could ram your parked car and potentially damage your car's transmission because the parking brake was not there to take the hit. Remember transmission repair/replacement can be very expensive.
is the sequence also applicable to those cars with electronic parking brake?
1.stop
2. parking brake/electronic brake
3. lastly parking gear
is this the sequence? no need to put the car first to neutral gear before going to parking gear?
I cannot speak to the electronic brakes because i do not have that one.
But yes you need to put the gear in neutral before you put the car in park.
Press the brake, shift to N, release the brake so the car is sitting on the handbrake, then shift to P.
the way my car is build, to get from D to P you go to N anyway. also, this matters if you park on a slope. a lot of people simply shift the car to P without engaging the e brake. now, this is wrong. but one you engaged the e brake, it does not really matter
What about if you want to drive off the hill which order should we use then?
First, shift the gear from P to D and pull down hand brake, then go. And when you want to park your automatic car: 1. Stop the car 2. Shift gear to N from D 3 . Pull up your hand brake. 4. step off foot brake. Lastly, shit gear to P by stepping on foot brake and Turn off the car.
@@sinanakgul55 rubbish. to start my car, I have to be in P not D ( audi a6). do you even own a driving license?
Ok will take care of transmission.
My only concern with this is whether it might prevent the transmission from fully going into park. This is on older and worn vehicles.
If you have the brake pedal all the way down, then put in park and set the parking brake before releasing, wouldn't that also help the transmission?
No it wont because when you put it into park it just disengages the gears and locks the wheels. And yes that is fine too. If your handbrake is loose it still might rest the weight on the gearbox and then keep it there with the remaining brakeforce. The only way that it wont fully go into park is that the gearselector pin is broken. I broke mine once on a 2000 year model car going 60mph and revving it on neutral :D
@@981moro i have a 2000 Toyota, sometimes I'll think it's in park, but it won't let me take the keys out until I shift around back and forth a couple times and back into park. If I set the parking brake first it never thinks the vehicle is in park. It won't let me take the keys out, but this is why I always shift to park first before setting the parking brake (foot on the brake of course).
@@MF-rw3rb could be a transmission issue, solenoids or something else so that the transmission doesnt know what gear it is in so it won't let you turnoff. But If it works that way then sure do it that way. 2000 year car could be really expensive to fix compared to the cars value
So the car manual is wrong??
Do u have to put the car in neutral? Like before u use the e brakes
Apply the parking brake before you let off the brake pedal and before you change the lever to park.
On a hill or not, if you're on the foot brake while you pull the e-brake, it doesn't matter.
Yep, all these videos are spreading a myth. The weight won't be on the parking pawl unless you take your foot off the brake before pulling the handbrake.
Thanks for the video! Okay this may seem like a silly question.... but when your about to leave what is the order?
I found this info on Google: when disengaging, press brake pedal, turn off parking brake, and then shift into reverse.
@@eulie717 Correct! When ever your foot is on the brake the pressure is there.
Some cars wont even start or change gears unless your foot is on the brake.
I press car main brakes first on then i select D and after that relese "hand" brakes off.
Gave you your 1k likes thanks man
The toyota fortuner is put the park release your foot off the break and then breaw
Hey I do this all the time but my car still moves forward a little where I park it’s unlevel
Is it normal ?
So your up hill: foot on break , use emergency break:Then let the car roll back so the weight is on breaks finally put in park? Is this how to do it ?
No always keep foot on brake so:emergency brale,put on park then release brake and turn off car
@@Ilovecash10 Correct! always foot on brake when chancing gears or using handbrake.
I have been parking first and then putting hand break up. Wow. Now I know it’s the other way...thank you
Keep your foot on the breaks and put the car in park then engage the parking break and release your foot off the breaks. How did you not learn this when learning to drive?
The toyota fortuner is put the park release your foot off the break and then breaw
@@Maker659 can you retype that in English please?
@@PimpSolja49 is it also ok to:
-press down break pedal
-put car in Neutral
-set Emergency Break handle
-release break pedal (car shift back and rests on E-brake)
-finally hold break pedal again and shift into Park mode
This good??
@@Jester2b04 for automatic car there is no need to put in neutral. Just keep foot on the brake while you shift to park and set the E brake then take foot off brake.
Ok calm down sirrr, don't argue with me. 😜 JK. Good job 🥳
High pitch?
Liked!
I usually have the foot brake pushed, put in park, then use the parking brake while still holding the foot brake. that sounds like it does the same thing? I don't release the foot brake until I'm ready to get out. I just hate the roll the cars make... plus it's called a PARKING brake.
I do the same, long as you dont allow the small roll you're good
I just commented the same thing
He reminds me of Gilbert Gottfried
1. Stop
2. Pull up ebrake
3. Shift to P
👆is that it?
As long as you have your foot firmly on the brake pedal when you shift to park and pull the handbrake (E-brake/parking brake), the order does not matter.
The weight of the vehicle won't shift while your foot is on the brake, so the parking pawl won't have any load on it🤦♂
On a incline or decline put the car into park engaging the parking gear. Then slowly let off the brake and let the parking pawl fall into one of the many slots for it on its own dedicated cog. THEN engage parking brake. The parking gear does a good job of locking up the gears but the ebrake is just locks of one of the rear calipers or drums stopping it from rolling if the parking gear gives out. This is why you also turn towards a curb on a decline. Just in case the car gains a little movement hopefully the curb can stop it from traveling further
You sound like Steve carrel.
How much abuse can the parking pawl take! I heard metal on metal when I was moving slow and put it in park first. 😩
Car should be stationary when changing gears and foot on brake. I broke my gear selector going 60 and switchin to N in an older car lol :D
Flat or hill I always do it! It’s a habit
Yep i do it same way. And now it come like a reflex ;) I
I actually let go of the brake after engaging the parking brake and wait a few seconds to make sure it alone is holding the car still, then shift into park. Is this a problem?
Shouldnt be if it holds it. I assume that your car is in D while you do this so the car is still trying to move forward. It could in theory wear out the handbrake cables if they are really really old and weak. Imagine a invisible man trying to push your car while you do this. But in most cases it wont be a problem.
@@981moro but how it could worn out cables, if the force applied to the brake pads doesn't change?
@@peteriskrumings8771 it does change. When you apply the brakes all four wheels have brake pressure. But when you use the parking brake usually only the rear wheels are using brake pressure. So for example on a front wheel driven car the wheels are still trying to move while only the back wheels are holding the car in place.
@@981moro That would wear out brake pads and eventually rotors, yes, but I was refering to the cables and the force applied to them because you especially mentioned them in your reply. Maybe I misread and you ment brake pads not cables because then it would not leave me puzzled how the force to the cables may change depending on draging force to the wheels and how the slightly changes to the force applied would wear out cables faster... That's all. :)
I mean, even if there is a very, very slight increase in cable tension when brakes are applied and wheel is still trying to move before full stop, I think it is insignificant (I may be wrong there ofcourse) and instead cable wearing happens - no surprise here - because of cable movement and cable aging, lack of lubrication, getting rusted etc....
@@peteriskrumings8771 here we always salt the roads every winter so its not uncommon to snap the rusted parking cable. But as i said they would have to be in a really really bad condition. Sure the cable could also just snap simply by pulling the brake.
The likelihood of you messing up your parking paw is very unlikely also in most cars its not a pin , coming someone who actually works on cars the parking paw is actually supposed to hold the cars weight its designed to do that and it actually needs weight to fully engage thats why the car slightly rolls when you put it in park because it needs weight to lock in park
Whether you use handbrake first or shit to park first, it doesn't matter, and here's why:
As long as your foot is on the brake pedal until the transmission is in park and the handbrake is applied, the weight of the car won't shift to the parking pawl!
This is easy to prove, on level ground with foot brake applied, simply shift to park and apply the handbrake, then turn vehicle off and take foot off the brake pedal. At this point, the weight is *not* on the parking pawl, and this is easily proven by slowly releasing the handbrake as you will feel the vehicle rest on the parking pawl in the transmission.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PARKING BRAKE
where is the parking brake? :)
In another video you placed in park first and the set the parking brake lol
HaYEE eveRYBooDYY
🤯🔫
I'm not sure if I get it. I thought you weren't supposed to use the emergency break all the time
You've gotten where you need to go, you're ready to leave the car
With your foot on the regular brake, put the car in neutral. Set your E brake, let go of your regular brake, shift in to park. I've had 7 cars and do this with all of em, it doesn't matter if it's a flat surface or not I do it always
hey everybody
Then you have me who just throws it in her first and says fuck the parking brake
00:46 this
Why are you screaming! Lol.
He is the apparently kid when he grew up
Hey everybodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy😁
E brake your voice before making a video ?
It’s a great video but try to slow down your tone talk slowly
dawg i thought you was gary vee
HEY EVERYBODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I thought you are The Vigilante
Dude struggling so hard to put up the facts 😅appreciate it!
You need a parking break on your caffeine intake dude.
didn't you steal the chipmunks
Your too loud bro ! Cant hear you !
You are wrong. Hit the pedal brake first before you press the epb Hand Brake if manual. No need to park
Who cares how to park. Just yell at the car Heeeeyyyyyyyyyy and it will park itself
😂😂😂
Hi good info. But nextime speak slowly for better understanding.
Hard press Brake pedal then Park. No need to activate EPB. Many car owner complain about this epb. It will not engage when you want to reverse. It will blink. This is disgusting idea epb is a scam. Headache of owner costly to repair. Manual is long last to 300 yrs. No problem. This epb 2 to 3 yrs will make you problem
