What does the P gear in a car mean?
1 Answers
Car P gear is the parking gear. This gear is used when parking. When you step on the brake to stop the vehicle, engage this P gear, which will lock the wheels and prevent the car from moving. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms for shifting, which can automatically change gears according to the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed, while the driver only needs to control the speed by operating the accelerator pedal.
