Can You Start the Car Directly in P Gear?

You can start the car directly in P gear. The correct practice is to ignite the engine in P gear. In fact, many car models are now designed to only allow ignition in P gear for safety considerations. The function of P gear is to disconnect the engine from the wheel transmission system. When in P gear, a mechanical lever locks the output shaft, preventing the vehicle from moving to avoid rolling. P gear is a common gear in automatic transmission vehicles, usually located at the foremost position of the gear shift console, in front of the R gear. Its purpose is to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope.
