Which of the following is NOT a component of PRNDL?

  1. Park

  2. Neutral

  3. Reverse

  4. Stop

The correct answer is: Stop

The correct answer is that "Stop" is not a component of PRNDL. The acronym PRNDL refers to the different positions found in an automatic transmission of a vehicle, which include Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Low. In this context, "Park" is crucial as it secures the vehicle in place when it's not in use, preventing it from rolling. "Neutral" allows the vehicle to roll freely without engine power being transferred to the wheels. "Reverse" enables the vehicle to move backward. "Stop," however, is not a specific position in the transmission system but rather an action that drivers might take at various times, often within any of the specified positions, such as when the vehicle is in Park, Neutral, or when the driver needs to halt in Drive. Therefore, while stopping is an important part of driving, it does not represent a designated gear in the PRNDL system.
