Chery Ant driving procedure: First, fasten the seatbelt, shift the gear, press the brake, and turn the key clockwise to the start position until all self-check lights on the dashboard illuminate; wait for 5 seconds until all self-check lights turn off, continue turning clockwise to the end and release, confirm that the READY light is on, indicating the vehicle has started; check the remaining range; switch to D gear, release the handbrake, and release the brake to start moving. Below is the relevant information about the Chery Ant: 1. The new model of Chery Ant eQ1 under Chery New Energy has officially been launched. The new car largely continues the styling of the current model, with only minor changes in details. It still comes with a 35kWh power battery pack, offering a comprehensive range of 301km. 2. In terms of appearance, the new car basically follows the design of the current model, maintaining a compact and cute look. The front fog light area features vertical daytime running lights, paired with the design of the front grille, giving the car a high recognition rate. The side and rear of the car are identical to the current model, also equipped with a set of 15-inch double four-spoke two-tone aluminum alloy wheels, with tire specifications of 165/65R15. The new Chery Ant eQ1 only differs from the current model by using blue decorations on the front logo. 3. The interior, like the exterior, continues the current design style, with a black and orange color-blocking design. The combination of a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and a large central control LCD screen is a familiar sight. Compared to the current model, the new car has differences in the knob gear shift, air conditioning vents, and door panel decorative strips, with the new model adding orange borders as accents.

When I first got my driver's license, I rented a Chery eQ1 to practice driving, and it felt super user-friendly! It's very simple for beginners to drive: first, sit properly and fasten the seatbelt, press the brake pedal to start the power, and once the dashboard lights up, rotate the round knob to 'D' gear, then gently release the brake to move. The accelerator pedal is responsive but not too aggressive, with a small turning radius in the city, making parking super easy. Even the rearview mirrors are designed for clear visibility. I usually commute with it, and the battery level is clearly displayed on the screen. A single charge can last almost a week, and it can be charged using a regular home socket. The driving noise is minimal, the seats are comfortable, and it doesn't feel tiring even after long drives. Remember to check the lights and battery status before starting, just in case. With such easy daily operations, even beginners can quickly adapt to the convenience of a micro electric vehicle.

As an experienced electric vehicle driver, I pay attention to energy-saving details when driving the Chery Ant: after starting with the brake pedal, I first select the economy mode, and smooth acceleration can extend the range. Its kinetic energy recovery is strong, automatically charging when going downhill or lightly pressing the brake. I often drive it for city commuting, setting the air conditioning temperature around 22 degrees and adjusting the airflow above the legs to save energy. The steering wheel is light and easy to control, and I ensure the tire pressure is normal before starting to avoid high energy consumption from sudden braking or acceleration. When charging, I usually plug it in at night and unplug it promptly when fully charged. Although the car is small, its layout is reasonable, making parking easy. During driving, I frequently check the remaining battery indicator to plan trips without anxiety. Overall, it's quiet and worry-free to drive, with simple daily maintenance.

What is the HOLD light?

HOLD light is the gear lock indicator light. When the HOLD light is on, it indicates that the gear is locked in a specific position. When driving uphill or on icy/snowy roads that require low-gear operation, you can activate HOLD to lock the transmission in second gear. The button for this switch is located in the middle of the gear lever. Pressing it again will deactivate the function. Normally, it's not recommended to use this feature as it may harm the transmission. Automatic gear lock is a forced downshift key, used when gears get stuck or during towing. When HOLD is activated, the parking brake system will automatically engage each time the vehicle comes to a complete stop after braking. You'll feel a release of pressure on the brake pedal, at which point you can release the pedal without worrying about the vehicle rolling. Working principle of gear lock indicator light: The transmission control unit uses this sensor to detect the gear selected by the driver and performs corresponding control actions. Relationship between neutral switch and gear position switch: In older vehicles, the P (Park) and N (Neutral) switches were connected in series with the starter motor switch, meaning the engine could only be started in these two positions. In newer vehicles, the control unit identifies the neutral signal first, then decides whether to engage the starter motor.

Fuel pump failure can also cause engine shaking. To diagnose fuel pump problems, disconnect the fuel line and check fuel flow rate and volume. 2. Electrical system issues: Check whether spark plugs are worn, if gaps are uniform, or if gaps have changed. Additionally, malfunctioning distributors can cause engine shaking. 3.

What Causes Difficulty in Removing the Car Key?

Car key difficulty in removal can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. P gear not properly engaged: When exiting the vehicle, the gear was not shifted to P or the P gear did not fully engage, possibly obstructed by an object, thus failing to trigger the electronic sensor. 2. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel was not returned to its proper position when parking, causing an abnormal lock. The solution is to insert the key, attempt to turn the steering wheel left and right while twisting the key, which will release the steering wheel lock. 3. Obstruction in the key slot: The solution involves removing the obstruction, starting the car, shifting the gear again to ensure it is fully engaged, after which the key can be removed.
