Can You Start the Engine Directly in P Gear?
1 Answers
You can start the engine directly in P gear. Here are the specific details about P gear: 1. P gear is the most common gear in automatic transmission models, usually located at the foremost position of the gearshift console, in front of the R gear, designed to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope. 2. Both P gear and N gear are neutral gears, where the power generated at the engine's input end cannot be transmitted to the transmission's output end. This is why drivers often experience a slight slide after parking in P gear on uneven surfaces. 3. When in N gear, all gears in the automatic transmission can rotate freely; but when in P gear, the output gears of the transmission are locked and stationary.
