A four vector $V^\mu$ has components that we can regard as  $(\rho, {\bf j})$. Under parity the charge $\rho$ does not change, but the current changes sign: $P:{\bf j}\mapsto -{\bf j}$. If the metric signature  is $(+,-,-,-)$ one  way to say this is $V^\mu \to V_\mu$.  If the metric were  $(-,+,+,+)$ we would have to say $V^\mu\to -V_\mu$.
