What does the P gear in an automatic car mean?
1 Answers
The P gear in an automatic car refers to the Parking gear, which utilizes a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing it from moving. Other gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. D gear stands for Drive gear; 2. R gear stands for Reverse gear; 3. L gear stands for Low gear; 4. N gear stands for Neutral gear; 5. W gear stands for Winter/Snow gear; 6. S gear stands for Sport mode driving gear. An automatic transmission refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations.
