What is the function of the P gear?
1 Answers
P gear is used for parking. It utilizes a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing the vehicle from moving. When the car needs to stay in a fixed position for an extended period or before leaving the vehicle after parking, the hand brake should be engaged and the gear lever should be pushed into the "P" position. The introduction of car gears is as follows: 1. P gear: Parking gear. The gear lever can only be moved into this position after the car has come to a complete stop, at which point the drive wheels are mechanically locked. 2. R gear: Reverse gear. The gear lever can only be moved into this position after the car has completely stopped, enabling reverse driving. 3. N gear: Neutral gear. When the gear lever is moved into this position, no power is transmitted to the wheels, and the wheels cannot use engine braking. 4. D gear: Drive gear. When the gear lever is moved into this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within the engine speed range. 5. S gear: Sport mode. When the gear lever is moved into this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within a higher engine speed range than D gear, fully utilizing the engine's power.
