The function of the button on an automatic transmission: The button on an automatic transmission is called the shift lock button, also known as the gear lock. If the gear is accidentally engaged, unintended forward or backward movement could cause an accident. This button can eliminate safety hazards caused by misoperation. When shifting out of P (Park) or into R (Reverse) or P (Park), this shift lock button must be pressed to engage the gear. Introduction to automatic transmission gears: 1. P stands for Park; after the car stops, engaging P gear applies the brake to prevent movement. 2. N stands for Neutral; temporarily stopping the vehicle by engaging this gear stops the vehicle's motion without interrupting power. 3. R stands for Reverse; this gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary. 4. S stands for Sport, suitable for overtaking and climbing hills.
