What is the function of the P gear?
1 Answers
The function of the P gear is for parking. It uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing the car from moving. Here is some related information about the P gear: 1. Meaning: Automatic transmission P gear - Parking gear, starting gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2. Notes: The P gear of an automatic transmission car can replace the handbrake, so when parking, the gear is placed in the P gear without pulling the handbrake, even when parking on a slope. However, in reality, the P gear can indeed serve as an auxiliary to the handbrake, but it cannot replace the handbrake. When parking an automatic transmission car, the handbrake should still be used.
