Most automatic transmissions (except a few early ones) have what we call a park position. I am sure you are familiar with the function but probably have a different name for it. Anyway, when selecting, the transmission stays or goes into neutral and a locking lever then drops into a very heavy gear splined to the rest of the geartrain. By the lever dropping into the gear, it locks the gear to the case and prevents the drive shaft from turning and car from moving. The same as putting on the emergency brake only done with the transmission by moving the lever or in this case, pushbutton.
