How to Drive a Roewe i5 Automatic Transmission Car?

[Ryder]

Roewe i5 automatic transmission driving methods are as follows: 1. Gear Shifting: Move to the P gear, then engage the handbrake and turn off the engine. Some vehicles will sound an alarm if the driver attempts to turn off the engine or open the door without being in P gear. 2. Switching Between Drive and Manual Mode: D gear is the drive gear. To move the car forward, shift to N gear and press the accelerator. Many transmissions now are manual-automatic integrated. After shifting to D gear, push it to the right to enter manual shifting mode, allowing the driver to control the forward acceleration gears. 3. Reverse Gear: R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing. It is important to note that the car must be completely stopped, with the foot on the brake, before shifting into R gear. 4. Neutral Gear: N gear, commonly known as neutral in manual transmission cars, can be used in automatic transmission cars for brief stops, such as waiting at a red light.

The first time I drove the Roewe i5 automatic transmission, I found the operation particularly simple. Start the vehicle by pressing the brake, then shift directly from P to D gear, release the brake and the car moves. When encountering a red light, either keep it in D gear and press the brake, or shift to N gear and engage the electronic handbrake. When reversing, stop the car firmly and shift to R gear; the large central control screen with the reversing camera is very convenient. Normally, driving only requires controlling the accelerator and brake, unlike manual transmissions where you constantly need to press the clutch and shift gears. Remember to engage the electronic handbrake before shifting back to P gear when parking, otherwise, there's a risk of the car rolling. On rainy days, it's best to turn on the vehicle stability system, and the heated rearview mirrors are also quite useful.

Driving the automatic transmission Roewe i5 is a piece of cake. Before starting, make sure the gear is in P, press the brake pedal firmly, and push the ignition switch. Simply shift to D to start driving, and use S gear in traffic jams for better responsiveness. Be mindful of obstacles around when reversing—the dynamic guide lines on the reverse camera are very helpful. The gear lever is ergonomically placed, and pressing the lock button with your thumb ensures safe operation. On highways, I often use cruise control, which can be set with buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Always shift to P before turning off the engine, or you might trigger a fault code next startup. Both the AC and music can be voice-controlled, making driving safer and more convenient.

The operation logic of the Roewe i5 automatic transmission is very clear: press the brake to start the engine, shift to D gear, release the brake, and you're ready to go. The D gear is sufficient for daily commuting, and you can switch to ECO mode to save fuel. Remember to use manual mode on steep slopes to avoid frequent braking. The gear shifting is smooth, and it's safest to wait for the RPM to drop after a cold start before moving off. For traffic lights lasting more than 30 seconds, it's best to shift to N gear to reduce the burden on the transmission. The multifunction steering wheel buttons make it convenient to control the dashboard information, and Bluetooth-connected phone navigation is directly projected onto the central control screen. Pay attention to the radar warning sound when reversing.
