Is there a difference between electronic shift levers and conventional shift levers?

[SamanthaRose]

There is a difference between electronic shift levers and conventional shift levers, and the differences are as follows: 1. Different uses: Electronic shift levers are generally for automatic transmissions; conventional shift levers are divided into manual and automatic transmissions. 2. Different principles: Electronic shift levers achieve gear shifting through electric motors; conventional shift levers directly control the manual valves of the transmission via linkages. The usage method of an electronic shift lever is as follows: 1. When parking, press the 'P' button on top of the shift lever to illuminate the 'P' letter, engaging the parking gear. 2. Pull the shift lever backward once to light up the 'D' indicator, engaging the 'D' gear, after which the electronic shift lever automatically returns. 3. When the transmission is in 'D' gear, pulling the shift lever backward once lights up the 'M' indicator, engaging manual mode. 4. When in 'D' or 'R' gear, pushing the shift lever in the opposite direction of the current gear lights up the 'N' indicator, engaging neutral gear. 5. Holding down the unlock button on the left side of the shift lever and pushing the lever forward lights up the 'R' indicator, engaging reverse gear.
