How to Turn Off Car Engine

Step 1: Park the Car

Before you can turn off the car engine, you need to park the car. This means finding a safe place to pull over, such as a parking space or the side of the road. Once you have found a safe place to park, put the car in park and engage the parking brake.

Step 2: Turn Off the Key

Once the car is parked, you can turn off the key. To do this, simply turn the key to the “off” position. You will hear the engine stop running.

Step 3: Remove the Key

Once the engine has stopped running, you can remove the key from the ignition. To do this, simply pull the key out of the ignition cylinder.

Step 4: Exit the Car

Once the key has been removed, you can exit the car. Be sure to close the door behind you to prevent the car from rolling away.

Tips

• If the car is still running when you try to turn off the key, you may need to press the brake pedal while you are turning the key.
• If the car is in gear when you try to turn off the key, you will need to shift the car into park before you can turn off the key.
• If you are having trouble turning off the car engine, you may need to consult your car’s owner’s manual for more information.

Warnings

• Never turn off the car engine while the car is moving.
• Never leave the key in the ignition when you exit the car.
• If the car is in gear when you turn off the key, the car may roll away.
