Manual transmission not engaging into gear can be caused by: 1. The clutch not being fully depressed or the driver not shifting the gear properly; 2. Malfunction of the shift solenoid valve or friction plates. A manual transmission uses a hand-operated gear lever to change the gear engagement and transmission ratio inside the gearbox, thereby achieving the purpose of shifting gears. The method to start a manual transmission car is: 1. Fully depress the clutch; 2. Shift into first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Sound the horn as a reminder; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Gently lift the clutch with the left foot; 7. Start the vehicle and drive on the road. A manual transmission car uses a manual shift mechanical gearbox to adjust the vehicle speed, meaning the gear lever must be manually operated to change the gear engagement position inside the gearbox, altering the transmission ratio to achieve the purpose of shifting gears.

Does the Vezel have an automatic locking function?

The Vezel is equipped with an automatic locking function. The automatic locking switch is located on the left door of the driver's cabin, marked with a lock symbol. Simply press it to activate the automatic locking without any additional setup. However, drivers should not overly rely on the automatic locking function during driving.

To prevent carjacking when the vehicle is stuck in traffic or waiting at a traffic light, providing a certain level of security. 2.

How to Turn On BMW Automatic Headlights?

Rotate the light knob to the automatic headlight position to activate the automatic headlights. Once enabled, BMW's automatic headlights operate in autonomous mode, requiring no further manual intervention. They are controlled by a light sensor located on the right side of the front dashboard near the windshield, which automatically activates or deactivates the lights based on ambient driving conditions. Many mistakenly believe "automatic headlights" are designed specifically for tunnels, but this is incorrect. There is a delay in activation—the headlights only turn on automatically 10+ seconds after the light sensor detects darkness. However, traffic regulations mandate that headlights must be manually activated before entering a tunnel, so drivers still need to manually switch them on in advance when passing through tunnels.
