Question

How to rev an automatic car?

To rev the engine in an automatic car without moving, put the car in park or neutral.

In park, pressing the gas pedal revs the engine without engaging the wheels, so the car stays still. In neutral, the engine revs without powering the wheels, but the car can roll, so use the handbrake for safety. Always avoid revving the engine in drive or reverse to prevent accidental movement.
