What is the button on the gear shift of the Teana car?

The button on the gear shift of the Teana car is the shift lock button, which is the button that needs to be pressed when shifting gears, acting as a switch. You must press and hold it to shift gears. Introduction to the gear shift lever: The gear shift lever, also known as the operating lever, is used in the car's transmission system. Its main function is to facilitate gear shifting. The gear shift lever is a rod-like component, commonly categorized into 1st and 2nd gear levers, 3rd and 4th gear levers, and 5th gear levers. Automatic transmission gear shift lever: Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. Driving an automatic car using only the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D can fully meet the needs of ordinary driving. However, in some special driving environments, other functional gears may be required.
I've been driving the Teana for several years. That small button on the shift lever is the shift lock release button, simply put, it's an unlock button. Every time you want to shift from Park (P) to Drive (D) or Reverse (R), you must press the brake pedal and then press this button to move the shift lever. The purpose is for safety, to prevent the car from accidentally moving when parked, such as when children play with it or if you accidentally slip your hand. This design is quite common in Nissan cars, and it's very convenient to use in the Teana. The button has a smooth feel, just a light press is enough. However, sometimes it might get stuck, usually due to low battery power or an issue with the brake sensor. In such cases, don't force it; you can first check the vehicle's power status. I think this feature is very thoughtful, especially when driving in the city, making trips more reassuring. For beginners, I recommend practicing to get familiar with the operation, as it relates to parking safety. If you're unsure, just ask a mechanic.
