First, press the brake pedal with your right foot. To move forward, pull the gear lever to the D (Drive) position, and to reverse, pull it to the R (Reverse) position. Then release the handbrake, slowly release the brake pedal, move your right foot to the accelerator pedal, and gently press to move forward. The SAIC New Energy pure electric architecture-designed station wagon, the Roewe Ei5, features the Roewe family's "Rhythm Design" concept for its exterior, giving it a sleek overall shape. More details are as follows: 1. In terms of appearance, the Roewe Ei5 adopts the family design language, with a front face featuring an inverted trapezoidal grille similar to the Roewe RX5, and a hidden charging port under the central logo. Additionally, the upgraded arrow-feather C-position headlights are connected to the grille, elongating the visual effect of the front and making the design more concise. The rear of the car still uses letter-style brand logos, with the light clusters on both sides connected by a chrome trim strip, giving it a fashionable look. 2. In terms of configuration, the new Roewe Ei5 adds several intelligent safety features such as the LDW Lane Departure Warning System, AEB Automatic Emergency Braking System, FCW Forward Collision Warning System, SAS Speed Assistance System, and automatic high-low beam switching for headlights. It also upgrades humanized configurations like four USB ports and frameless wipers.

When it comes to starting and shifting gears in the Roewe ei5, I've been driving this car for over a year and find it quite user-friendly. To start the car, I first sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seatbelt, making sure the car key is either in my pocket for detection or inside the vehicle. I then press and hold the brake pedal without releasing it, and gently press the start button on the center console. When the dashboard lights up, it means the car has started. As for shifting gears, it doesn't have a traditional gear lever but uses an electronic rotary knob or button device located near the armrest. Rotate to select gears: P for parking, R for reverse, N for neutral, and D for normal driving. After selecting D, slowly release the brake pedal to start moving. Daily driving tips: check the rearview mirror or reversing camera before reversing, and use the electronic handbrake to assist in preventing rollback when starting on a slope. Overall, the operation is straightforward, easy to get the hang of within minutes, and suitable for urban commuting.

Do I still need to engage the electronic handbrake when in P mode?

You still need to engage the electronic handbrake when in P mode. Relevant introductions are as follows: The usage scenarios of N mode and P mode are different: P mode is used when parking and turning off the engine, while N mode is used for short stops without turning off the engine. You can use N mode when waiting at a red light. It is recommended not to use P mode when waiting at a red light: If you shift into P mode while waiting at a red light and your car is rear-ended by a vehicle behind, the transmission of your car may suffer severe damage. Also, do not shift into P mode or N mode while driving. Shifting into N mode while driving can lead to insufficient lubrication in the automatic transmission. Shifting into P mode while driving can cause damage to the locking mechanism of P mode.

Is It a Violation If the Front of the Car Crosses the Stop Line When the Red Light Is On?

If the front of the car crosses the stop line when the red light is on but does not move further, it is not considered a violation. Here is some relevant information about cars crossing the stop line when the red light is on: 1. When the red light is on, and the entire vehicle crosses the stop line: If the vehicle completely crosses the stop line but does not continue moving, it is not considered running a red light. However, this situation is regarded as stopping beyond the line. According to Article 4, Section 5 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations,' 'failing to drive or stop as required at an intersection will result in a 2-point deduction.' 2. When the red light is on, and the vehicle stops beyond the line and then reverses: Although this is not penalized as running a red light, motor vehicles are not allowed to reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. If reversing is performed in violation of these rules, a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan may be imposed. If there is no immediate danger, it is better to stay still.

Why Are Used Cars So Cheap in Ningbo?

Ningbo used cars are cheap for the following reasons: Used cars in Ningbo are not actually cheap; this is all due to false listings posted by intermediaries to attract potential customers.
