How do you turn your car back on after turning it off in drive when let shift gears?

It is important to shift into park before turning a car engine off. Here's how to turn your car back on after turning it off in drive when letting shift gears:

1. Press the brake pedal firmly with your right foot. This ensures the car is in a stationary and safe position.

2. Locate the gear shifter. It is usually found in the center of the vehicle's cockpit, between the front seats.

3. Move the gear shifter to the "Park" position. This sets transmission to its default and neutral state, allowing you to start the car without unexpected movement.

4. Press the ignition button or insert the key into the ignition and turn it clockwise. The car's engine should start.

5. Once the engine is running, release the brake pedal.

Remember, leaving your car in drive while turning it off is unsafe, as the vehicle may roll unexpectedly when you start it again. It's essential always to shift to "Park" before turning off the engine.
