What are the effects of shifting to P gear before the car comes to a complete stop?
1 Answers
The impact of shifting to P gear before the car comes to a complete stop depends on the speed: 1. If the speed does not exceed 5 kilometers per hour, there will be no damage to the components; 2. If the speed is too high, it may cause gear damage, leading to major malfunctions. The P gear is the parking gear in an automatic transmission, which mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling and avoid unnecessary accidents. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. Engage the handbrake; 2. Shift to P gear; 3. Release the foot brake and turn off the engine. Other gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. R gear for reverse; 2. N gear for neutral; 3. S gear for sport mode; 4. D gear for drive; 5. L gear for low speed; 6. M gear for manual mode.
