What is the reason for the car showing not in P gear when it is actually in P gear?

If the car is already in P gear but still shows that it is not in P gear, it is because the gear is not fully engaged. Re-engaging the gear can solve the problem. Here is some relevant information: Automatic transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as follows: P, R, N, D, S, L. P gear: P gear is the most common gear in automatic transmission models, usually located at the frontmost position of the gearshift console, in front of the R gear. Its purpose is to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope through the gear position.
