How to Operate the Electronic Gear Lever of the Boyue?
3 Answers
Press the brake pedal, push the one-button start to ignite the vehicle, then press and hold the button in front of the gear lever and push it forward to shift into N (Neutral) gear. Continue to press the brake pedal, hold the button in front of the gear lever, and push it forward to shift into R (Reverse) gear. Press the brake pedal, hold the button in front of the gear lever, and pull it backward to shift into D (Drive) gear. While in D gear, pull the gear lever to the left once to enter the manual mode M (Manual) gear. In manual mode M gear, push the lever forward to upshift and pull it backward to downshift.
When driving the Boyue, I find the electronic gear shifter quite simple to operate. First, start the vehicle while keeping the brake pedal depressed for safety. You'll notice buttons or knobs near the shifter labeled P, R, N, and D. To shift gears, gently push or turn to the desired mode—for example, pushing backward engages Drive (D) for moving forward, pushing forward selects Reverse (R) for backing up, and pressing directly upward usually puts it directly into Park (P). After shifting, don't release the brake immediately; wait until the display confirms the shift was successful. Remember, the electronic shifter is designed to make gear changes smoother, with quick responses and minimal lag. It might feel unfamiliar at first, but you'll get the hang of it after a few tries. I recommend practicing in a safe, open area to get accustomed to speed transitions between modes—for instance, shifting from D to R only after the car has completely stopped to reduce wear. Overall, it's more effortless than traditional mechanical shifters and enhances the driving experience.
The operation of an electronic gear lever is essentially electrical control, which is more precise than traditional mechanical gears. As a tech enthusiast, I particularly love Geely Boyue's system: after starting the car, press the brake, then toggle the small lever or button. It uses sensors to identify position signals and directly transmits them to the transmission control unit. The shifting sequence is typically R, N, D, with slight feedback vibrations for each action to ensure tactile confirmation. I think the highlight is its safety lock design—the gear lever won't move unless the brake is pressed, preventing accidental operation. In daily use, avoid pushing it forcefully to prevent damage to internal micro-switches. Also, when cleaning, avoid using a wet cloth on the gear lever interface to prevent water splashes and prolong its lifespan. This design makes driving smoother and more efficient, and I often discuss its circuit optimization details with friends.
