How to solve the problem when the transmission is not shifted into P gear?

The solution when the transmission is not shifted into P gear is: It is recommended that the owner shifts the gear lever into P gear before getting off the car, waits for a while until the display disappears, and then opens the door to get off. The display indicating that the transmission is not shifted into P gear may be due to the owner not shifting into P gear properly or opening the door too early. The transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion, used in cars, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. The main functions of the transmission are: changing the driving force and speed of the vehicle without altering the engine speed and torque, allowing the vehicle to reverse, and enabling the engine to stop without stalling.
I often encounter the issue of the transmission not engaging into P gear when repairing cars, which is actually quite common. First, make sure the car comes to a complete stop before attempting to engage P gear, as many times it's just a matter of not stopping properly and rushing to shift that causes it to get stuck. If it still doesn't work after stopping properly, check if the gear lever operates smoothly and try gently shaking it a few times to see if it can click into place. I've seen many mechanical linkage issues, such as rust or foreign objects getting stuck, and a simple lubrication of the linkage components might solve the problem. Modern electronic gear shift cars can be more tricky; low battery voltage or sensor malfunctions can cause P gear failure, in which case try restarting the engine for a system reset. Safety is crucial: never force it into P gear to avoid damaging the transmission; if it won't engage, use the foot brake or electronic brake to secure the car and shift into N gear to prevent rolling. For long-term prevention, regularly maintain the transmission system, clean any debris from the sliding rails, and check the transmission fluid and linkage condition every six months. The risk of P gear failure is higher when parking on slopes, so it's important for everyone to develop good driving habits.
