Is it okay to warm up an automatic transmission car in P gear?
1 Answers
It is acceptable to warm up an automatic transmission car in P gear. Automatic transmission vehicles use a computer to control hydraulic oil to push pistons for gear shifting based on throttle input, vehicle speed, and throttle opening. They automatically select the appropriate gear according to driving speed and traffic conditions, allowing independent control of gears to better match engine speed with gear selection. The gears in an automatic transmission are as follows: P gear is the parking gear and also the starting gear, R gear is the reverse gear, N gear is the neutral gear, D gear is the drive gear, S gear is the sport mode, and L gear is the low gear. Automatic transmissions utilize planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears automatically according to the degree of throttle pedal depression and changes in vehicle speed.
