Why does the car show not in P gear when it is actually in P gear?

[ParkerMarie]

If the car shows not in P gear when it is already shifted to P gear, it is because the gear is not fully engaged. Re-shifting can solve the problem. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. 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, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. P gear: P gear is the most common gear in automatic transmission models, usually located at the front of the gear shift console, in front of the R gear. Its purpose is to lock the axle through the gear when the car is stationary on a slope.
