You should not shift into P gear when the car isn't fully stopped. Here is some related information about car gears: 1. After shifting into N gear, there is no locking mechanism to secure the transmission gears. If the handbrake isn't engaged at this time, the car can still move. 2. After shifting into P gear, always engage the handbrake firmly; otherwise, it may damage the locking mechanism of the P gear. Important Notes: Automatic transmission cars have both P and N gears, both of which can be used when parking. However, the structure and usage scenarios of N and P gears are different. It's essential to maintain correct usage habits during daily driving to prolong the car's lifespan and prevent damage.

What causes the jerking in Passat's 2nd gear?

The reasons for jerking in Passat's 2nd gear are as follows: Solenoid valve damage: Solenoid valve damage is a major cause of jerking.

You can use a diagnostic tool to check if there are any fault codes in the transmission and to see if the data is normal. Transmission blockage: If there is sludge blocking the oil passages in the transmission's internal circulation, it can cause stumbling issues, leading to a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slippage, resulting in jerking during gear shifts.

What Do the Three Stripes on a BMW Mean?

BMW with three stripes indicates the M series of BMW. Introduction to BMW's three stripes: The front of BMW M series cars features three colors arranged in stripes: red, white, and blue. Each color represents a different meaning. Red symbolizes BMW's strong sports performance, white indicates that BMW cars are produced in Germany, and the final blue represents BMW's integration with motorsports. Meaning of the BMW logo: B.M.W. stands for Bavarian Motor Works. The colors and combination of the logo are derived from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is located. BMW started as a manufacturer of aircraft engines, leading many to believe that the logo represents a rotating propeller, but this is not the case. In fact, the symmetrical blue and white pattern is very simple—it is the state emblem of Bavaria, serving as a reminder of BMW's pure Bavarian heritage.
