"D" gear is the automatic forward gear, moving it to the upper right or lower right can manually shift up or down. When parking is needed, shift the gear into "P" gear, which is the parking gear, and simultaneously pull up the electronic handbrake. Shift the gear into "R" gear, this is the reverse gear, pay attention to the safety behind when reversing.
Driving the Baojun 730 manual transmission requires some practice. When I first started driving, I had to memorize the starting steps: ensure the car is stationary, press the clutch pedal all the way down, then shift into first gear (usually at the bottom left). Gradually release the clutch while gently applying the throttle, and once you feel the car slightly move, fully release the clutch. When shifting gears, watch the tachometer or listen to the engine sound, and promptly upshift to second, third gear, etc., as the speed increases. The reverse gear is R, and you need to stop the car before engaging it. To avoid stalling when starting, control the clutch rhythm. Neutral gear is convenient for resting your legs at red lights. For hill starts, it's recommended to use the handbrake for assistance. In city driving with frequent gear changes, be careful not to lug the engine; if the RPM is too low, the car will shake. During the break-in period, I often practiced driving without passengers to get a feel for the car, and after a few kilometers, it became smoother.
