The Lynk & Co 03 uses an electronic gear shift, which only requires a light push of the gear lever. Below is a related introduction about the Lynk & Co 03 car: Model Introduction: The Lynk & Co 03 was officially launched on October 19, 2018, at the Fuji International Speedway in Japan. Positioned as a trendsetting sports sedan, the Lynk & Co 03 comes in three design styles—Pure, Hybrid, and Dynamic—with a total of six models. Exterior: The Lynk & Co 03's aerodynamic design blends the brand's family-style urban contrasting aesthetics with aerodynamic principles, largely maintaining the Lynk & Co family design. The front features split-type headlights, paired with a horizontal front grille and lower trim. The side profile retains the classic three-box sedan shape, with smooth C-pillar lines. The rear features L-shaped taillights, and the lower black trim integrates reflectors.

I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for almost a year now, and shifting gears is quite straightforward. After starting the engine, press the brake pedal - its compact electronic gear lever looks small but feels very handy. Push it all the way forward for R (Reverse) gear, the middle position is N (Neutral), and pull it all the way back for D (Drive) to move forward. The best part is the manual mode: when in D gear, just flick the lever to the left and the dashboard will display M (Manual) mode. Then you can use the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel - right paddle for upshifting and left for downshifting, which makes driving on mountain roads particularly thrilling. For temporary stops, there's no need to shift gears - just press the brake pedal firmly and the auto hold function will activate, freeing your right foot. When parking, simply press the P button on top of the gear lever, and remember to engage the electronic parking brake afterward. The gear shifts are very smooth in this car, with almost no jerking when starting at traffic lights.

Is it necessary to press the brake when starting a manual transmission car?

When starting a manual transmission car on a flat road, you can directly press the clutch without stepping on the brake, controlling the speed with the clutch, and then fully release the clutch after the start is completed; if starting on a slightly inclined surface, it is best to press the clutch while also stepping on the brake to prevent the car from rolling backward or lurching forward. Below is more information about manual transmissions: 1. Principle of manual transmission: Since the automatic torque conversion range of the hydraulic torque converter is not large enough, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears according to the changes in the engine's operation, thereby achieving automatic torque conversion. 2. The primary function of the clutch is to ensure a smooth start of the car. Before starting the car, the engine must be started first. When the car starts, it gradually accelerates from a completely stationary state.

Does ETC need to be activated every time it is used?

ETC does not need to be activated every time it is used. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice in succession until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag invalid" appears when inserting and removing twice without the electronic tag attached, it is a normal phenomenon and does not affect activation. You can also directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to turn on the Bluetooth function. Turn on the mobile phone Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click on device connection and wait patiently for the "Connection successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the front of the vehicle to complete the activation. ETC installation position: For small vehicles such as cars and vans, the ETC card and OBU device are installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part.

What Gear Should Be Used When Driving Uphill?

What gear to use when driving uphill depends on the type of vehicle: For manual transmission cars, you can use 2nd or 3rd gear when driving uphill; for automatic transmission cars, you can use S (Sport) mode or L (Low) gear, or simply D (Drive) gear. Manual transmission cars are vehicles that use a manual shift mechanical transmission to adjust speed. The driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. Automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to shift gears manually; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission car include: 1. P (Park) for parking; 2. R (Reverse) for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) for neutral; 4. D (Drive) for forward driving; 5. M (Manual) for manual mode; 6. L (Low) for low gear; 7. S (Sport) for sport mode.

What happens if a rear tire blows out at 100 km/h on the highway?

Here are the possible scenarios when a rear tire blows out at 100 km/h on the highway: 1. A front tire blowout is the most dangerous because the front wheels are responsible for power output, steering control, and the application of most braking force. A front tire blowout severely affects the driver's control of the steering wheel. In such a situation, the driver must firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, avoid sudden steering movements, and use gentle braking or inertia to slow the vehicle gradually, preventing the tire from separating from the rim. Finally, the driver should slowly move the vehicle out of the traffic lane. 2. A rear tire blowout usually does not immediately alter the vehicle's direction of movement but may create the illusion that the car has become heavier and difficult to move. In this case, simply turn on the hazard lights, gradually adjust the balance between the clutch and throttle to reduce speed, and pull over to the side of the road safely. The fatality rate for vehicle occupants is 100% in tire blowout accidents occurring at speeds above 100 km/h.
