Can the car be locked without shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
It is possible to lock the car without shifting to P gear. The P gear is a special neutral position that mechanically locks the transmission output shaft to secure the vehicle, functioning as a parking brake to prevent the vehicle from moving. Gear operations related to P gear require the simultaneous use of the brake pedal and the safety button on the gear lever or pressing down the gear shift handle. To engage P gear: Press the brake pedal, then hold the safety button on the gear lever or press down the gear shift handle to move to any other gear position, ideally completing the action in one motion. To disengage P gear: Press the brake pedal, then hold the safety button on the gear lever or press down the gear shift handle to shift back to P gear from any other gear position.
