Can I Shift Directly to P Gear When Parking?

[SanLeila]

You can shift directly to P gear after parking. Gear Introduction: Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Function of P Gear: P gear is used for parking. It utilizes a mechanical device to lock the rotating part of the car, preventing the vehicle from moving. When the engine is running, as long as the gear lever is in the driving position, the automatic transmission car can move easily. When parking, the gear lever must be shifted to the P position, which locks the output shaft through the internal parking brake device of the transmission and tightens the handbrake to prevent the car from moving. When the car needs to stay in a fixed position for a long time or before leaving the vehicle after parking, the handbrake should be properly engaged, and the gear lever should be pushed into the "P" position.
