In order to shift gears from parking (P) to Drive (R or D) in an automatic transmission vehicle, you should:
- Correct answer: Step on the brake pedal, press on the selector lock button, and apply the gear selector to Drive.
- Step on the brake pedal and the gear will be shifted automatically.
- Press on the immobilizer (operating button) and the gear will be shifted automatically.
- Step on the clutch and shift the gear handle.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Step on the brake pedal, press on the selector lock button, and apply the gear selector to Drive.
In an automatic vehicle, the gear selector is locked in P as a safety feature. To release it, you step on the brake pedal and press the selector lock button, then move the selector to Drive yourself. The gear never shifts by itself, and an automatic has no clutch pedal. Holding the brake keeps the vehicle from lurching when the gear engages.
