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.

As a novice who just got my driver's license, I bought a Roewe ei5. At first, I was a bit flustered when getting in the car, but now I'm familiar with it. The startup process: After getting in the car, don't rush. First, make sure to firmly press the brake pedal, then press the circular start button next to the dashboard, and the car will come to life. There's a rotary knob for gear shifting: turn to D for drive, R for reverse, N for neutral, and P for park. When selecting, keep an eye on the screen display to avoid mistakes. Practice more on startup and gear shifting coordination when going out, such as choosing R gear for reverse parking while looking around to ensure safety. Beginners can start accumulating experience at low speeds. Overall, the car is designed to be user-friendly with intuitive operations, not complicated, making weekend trips back and forth effortless.

I'm quite interested in automotive electronic systems, and I find the startup and gear selection mechanism of the Roewe ei5 quite advanced. The startup relies on the smart key signal—just step on the brake and press the button to activate the motor system. For gear selection, it uses an electronic rotary knob or buttons instead of a mechanical lever to choose between P, R, N, and D gears, with instantaneous response and no delay, which optimizes driving efficiency. This benefits from the integration of the electric platform. Before startup, it checks the key's battery level or connection status to ensure everything is foolproof. This design is both worry-free and effortless.

What is the Difference Between Leaded and Unleaded Gasoline?

The differences between leaded and unleaded gasoline are: 1. Different additives: Leaded gasoline adds tetraethyl lead as an anti-knock additive during the refining process; unleaded gasoline does not add tetraethyl lead during the refining process. 2. Different exhaust emissions: Leaded gasoline causes lead to be emitted into the atmosphere with the vehicle exhaust; unleaded gasoline significantly reduces hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides in the exhaust. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum. At room temperature, it is a colorless to pale yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water and is flammable. Mixing different grades of oil together can easily lead to incomplete combustion, producing carbon deposits and shortening the engine's lifespan.

What to Do When the Car Mirror is Broken?

If the car mirror is broken, it should be repaired at a 4S shop or auto repair shop. The functions of the small mirror on the car's rearview mirror are as follows: 1. Function one: This small round mirror is an auxiliary rearview device installed on the exterior rearview mirror, allowing the driver to see the side of the car body and the rear wheels. 2. Function two: It can expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots, making it easier for the driver to see the position of the rear wheels when reversing.  Car rearview mirror maintenance tips are as follows: 1. Clean the exterior rearview mirror promptly: If mud or water gets on the rearview mirror, wipe it off as soon as possible with a car cloth. Note that if a very wet cloth is used, watermarks may be left behind, so it's better to use a semi-dry cloth. 2. Use the electric folding function of the exterior rearview mirror cautiously in winter: This is particularly important in winter. If there is dew, rain, or snow at night, the exterior rearview mirror may freeze, and using the electric folding function can easily damage the motor, making the rearview mirror unable to open. Therefore, it's best to turn off the electric folding function in winter. 3. Add a rain shield and small round mirror to the rearview mirror: There may be blind spots when looking at the rearview mirror inside the car, so installing a small round mirror can help reduce blind spots. 4. Turn on the rearview mirror heating function in rainy weather: After turning on the switch, it takes about 10 minutes for the exterior rearview mirror to emit heat. Gradually, the water droplets on the mirror surface will decrease. Generally, the rearview mirror heating should not be turned on for more than 1 hour, and it should be used sparingly to avoid affecting the lifespan of the rearview mirror. 5. Develop the habit of folding the rearview mirror when parking: When parking on the roadside, try to fold the rearview mirror yourself to prevent it from being hit by someone. 6. Do not randomly adjust the mirror of the rearview mirror: Do not randomly adjust the mirror of the rearview mirror, as over time it may cause the mirror to wobble, leading to eye fatigue for the driver.
