When you need to use the manual shifting mode, simply move the gear lever to the "M" position, and then perform upshifts or downshifts as needed. Regardless of the model, the D (Drive) and M (Manual) or S (Sport) gears are adjacent in tiptronic transmissions. Here are some scenarios where manual mode is particularly useful: The most common situation is downshifting for overtaking on highways, especially for automatic cars with insufficient power reserves or sluggish transmission settings. By downshifting before overtaking, you can directly access lower gear power by pressing the accelerator for a quick pass. In cruising mode, staying in the highest gear is generally more fuel-efficient, so switching to manual mode is unnecessary.

Is it necessary to install a 360° panoramic camera?

360° panoramic cameras are essential for drivers with limited driving skills, while they are optional for experienced drivers. The 360° panoramic monitoring system utilizes four wide-angle cameras positioned at the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle to monitor the surrounding conditions, providing the driver with a 360° panoramic view to eliminate all blind spots. Here are the functions of the 360° panoramic camera: After installing a 360° panoramic camera dashcam, the owner can intuitively view the surrounding environment of the vehicle through the original car screen. By performing normal driving operations such as shifting into reverse gear, turning on the turn signal, or using the turn lever, the view can be freely switched, enhancing driving safety.
