Do I need to step on the foot brake when shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
Shifting to P gear requires stepping on the brake. When the gear is shifted to P, there is a locking gear in the automatic transmission that locks the gearbox. Therefore, any movement of the wheels while in P gear can easily cause damage to the locking gear and even severely affect the transmission. The following is a related introduction about the P gear: Connection between the vehicle and mechanical structure: Generally, many modern cars have protective devices that require stepping on the brake to operate during ignition and gear shifting. For keyless start vehicles, pressing the start button without stepping on the brake will only turn on the power, and stepping on the brake is necessary to successfully start the car. Some cars require stepping on the brake to shift out of P gear to start the vehicle, which is determined by the vehicle's mechanical structure. Function of P gear: In automatic transmission models, to prevent the driver from accidentally shifting out of P gear into other gears, causing sudden movement of the vehicle that could harm the vehicle and personnel, automotive engineers have designed a P gear lock on the gear lever. This lock prevents the P gear from automatically disengaging or being shifted out without the driver's permission. The lock will only release under certain conditions.
