Press the unlock button and step on the brake for 5 seconds to release the P gear. The following is a detailed introduction of the Haval F7: Configuration: The Haval F7 is equipped with the ADAS new advanced intelligent driving assistance system, supporting L2 level autonomous driving function, as well as fully automatic fusion parking function. It also supports seat memory assistance, front seat heating, air purification system, multi-color rhythmic ambient lighting, and background light. Power: The Haval F7 is equipped with a 1.5GDIT engine and a 2.0GDIT engine, paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 385Nm, achieving 0-100km/h acceleration in just 6.6 seconds.
I encountered a similar situation when driving my Haval F7, and it's indeed possible to manually release the P (Park) gear in emergencies. Once during a camping trip, my car battery suddenly died, leaving the vehicle stuck in P gear and unable to move. I had to refer to the user manual to find the solution—usually, there's a small cover near the gear shift lever on the center console. Prying it open reveals a red button inside; pressing it allows you to manually shift the gear to N (Neutral) or another position. This mechanism was specifically added by vehicle designers to address emergencies like battery depletion or ignition system failures, enabling temporary vehicle movement to escape trouble. However, remember this operation carries risks, such as potential transmission damage or vehicle rolling, so it's only recommended when absolutely necessary and normal startup isn't possible. After releasing, you should immediately take the vehicle to a professional repair shop for inspection—don't rely on this method for daily use. Regular battery checks during maintenance can significantly reduce such troubles.
