A/T Park
This is an A/T Park (Automatic Transmission) (P) Indicator Warning symbol. This light comes on when a vehicle’s 4 wheel drive shifter is in neutral (N). A drive gear cannot be engaged until either the 4 Low or the 4 High option is chosen.
- Before moving on, are you sure one of these is your symbol?? If yes, then read on.
- Otherwise return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!
The light will also be active when there is a malfunction in the Park mechanism of the transmission. If this is the case, the vehicle must be inspected by your dealer or authorized service center as soon as possible.
