Shift lock什麼意思

"Shift lock" 通常 refers to a feature on vehicles that allows the driver to keep the shift lever in a specific gear, without having to keep pressure on the shift lock button or lever. This is done by engaging a mechanism that locks the shift lever in place.

The shift lock feature is designed to prevent accidental shifting of the transmission, which could be dangerous, especially when the vehicle is in motion. To unlock the shift lever and allow it to be shifted into another gear, the driver typically has to press a button or lever, located near the shift knob, and then move the shift lever.

The shift lock button or lever is often located in a position where it can be easily accessed by the driver, but is not easily activated by accident. Some vehicles may have a shift lock release button on the shift knob itself, while others may have it on the console or even on the steering column.

In some cases, the shift lock feature may be integrated with the ignition system, so that the vehicle cannot be shifted out of park unless the key is in the ignition and the vehicle is in the "on" or "acc" position.

It's worth noting that the shift lock mechanism can sometimes malfunction, which can prevent the driver from shifting the transmission. In such cases, the vehicle may need to be towed to a mechanic for repairs.
