Does P stand for handbrake?
1 Answers
In automatic transmission vehicles, the P gear is not the handbrake. In manual transmission vehicles, P stands for the handbrake. Below is relevant information: 1. Classification: Automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, there are six gear positions in an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Operation: Driving an automatic transmission car only requires the use of the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and forward gear D to meet the needs of general driving. If encountering some special driving environments, other functional gears need to be used. Therefore, if you can choose a correct control method, automatic transmission cars can perform better than manual transmission ones.
