How to Shift Gears on the Lynk & Co 03?
2 Answers
The Lynk & Co 03 uses an electronic gear shift, simply push the gear lever gently. Above the electronic gear lever is the reverse gear. Push the lever forward to reverse the car, push it backward for the drive gear, and the parking gear is a button.
When I first started driving the Lynk & Co 03, I found the gear shifting operation quite intuitive. As a beginner, I'd like to share some tips. First, press the brake to start the engine, confirm the P (Park) gear light is on, then push the gear lever to D (Drive) to start normal driving. For reversing, press the brake and shift to R (Reverse), remembering to check the rearview mirror for safety. When parking, always make sure the car is completely stopped, shift to P gear, and engage the handbrake to prevent rolling. The Lynk & Co 03 also features S (Sport) mode and manual mode - pushing to S delivers stronger power suitable for highways, while a right tap from D enters manual mode where you can use steering wheel paddles to control gear shifts, which feels particularly rhythmic on mountain roads. I recommend beginners practice with automatic mode basics first, then explore manual mode for more fun after gaining familiarity. Always wait for cold start self-check completion before operating to avoid transmission strain.
