What does PRNDL stand for in a vehicle?

  1. Parks, road, neutral, drive, lower

  2. Park, reverse, neutral, drive, low

  3. Parking, reverse, neutral, directional, low

  4. Park, run, neutral, drive, lock

The correct answer is: Park, reverse, neutral, drive, low

The term PRNDL in a vehicle refers to the various positions of the automatic transmission gear shift. The correct interpretation is "Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low." Each position serves a specific function: - "Park" locks the transmission, preventing the vehicle from rolling. - "Reverse" allows the vehicle to move backward. - "Neutral" disengages the engine from the wheels, allowing the vehicle to roll freely. - "Drive" is used for forward motion and enables the vehicle to shift through gears. - "Low" provides power for situations requiring more torque and control, such as climbing hills or driving in rough terrains. Understanding these terms is important for safe vehicle operation, as it helps drivers select the appropriate gear for various driving conditions, ensuring better control and safety while driving.
