The check light indicating when parking on gear typically serves as a reminder to the driver that the vehicle is not in the proper gear for parking. It may also indicate that the transmission is still engaged, which could lead to potential damage or safety hazards if the vehicle is started or moved. This warning helps prevent accidents and ensures the vehicle is safely secured in park mode. Always refer to the vehicle's manual for specific indicators and their meanings.
