What Does the Parking Gear Mean?
1 Answers
Parking gear is the P gear of an automatic transmission, used when parking to lock the transmission gears. It refers to automatic transmission vehicles, which have forward gears (D gear), reverse gear (R), neutral gear (N), and the parking gear (P), which is equivalent to the neutral gear plus handbrake in a manual transmission. Below is some extended information about automatic parking: 1. When encountering situations like traffic lights that require a short stop, the system automatically brakes the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling. 2. During uphill starts, the system automatically applies the brakes to prevent rolling backward, and releases the wheels automatically once the vehicle starts moving forward. 3. When parking and locking the vehicle, there is no need to pull the handbrake, as the system automatically brakes the wheels at this time.
