The steps to start the Roewe i5 automatic transmission are to press the brake, press the one-touch start function, shift to P gear, release the brake, and add some throttle to start moving forward. An automatic transmission car can only be started in P gear or N gear, so before ignition, make sure the gear is in P gear. Taking the Roewe i5 2021 1.5L Manual Platinum Edition as an example, the car has a body length, width, and height of 4607mm, 1818mm, and 1489mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 120ps and a maximum power of 88kw. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension.

Starting the Roewe i5 automatic transmission is quite simple. Here's how I do it every time: First, make sure the car is stationary in the P (Park) gear to prevent any rolling. Then, press the brake pedal firmly with your right foot—it must be fully depressed, otherwise the start button won't work. Press the one-touch start button on the center console, and the engine will gradually come to life. Once you hear a steady sound, release the electronic parking brake, usually by pressing the small button marked with a P. Next, gently shift the gear lever to D (Drive) gear, which is for driving, and press the accelerator to move off. Before starting, always check the dashboard for any warning lights, such as low fuel or fault indicators. I recommend beginners practice a few times to get used to it and make it a habit to fasten the seatbelt first—safety comes first. The whole process is smooth and effortless, with the automatic transmission designed to be user-friendly, perfect for daily commutes.

I've been driving the Roewe i5 automatic transmission for a long time, and my accustomed starting procedure is as follows: When the car is parked, keep it in P gear, press the brake pedal, and press the start button to start the engine. Then, handle the electronic parking brake by pressing once to release it, and shift the gear to D. After starting, observe whether the tachometer is stable to ensure the system is running normally. The advantage of automatic transmission is that it's hassle-free and starts quickly. Before starting, it's best to glance at the rearview mirror to ensure there are no people or obstacles. If it doesn't start, it might be a battery issue; check that no fault lights are on, and it should be fine. For maintenance, regularly service the battery to avoid power loss in winter, which can make starting smoother and extend the car's lifespan.

The Roewe i5 offers a convenient start-up process: First, ensure the gear is in P position, press the brake pedal, and then press the start button to ignite the engine. Release the electronic parking brake, shift to D gear, and you're ready to go. The entire process is smooth and efficient. After starting, pay attention to adjusting the cabin temperature, as the air conditioning will operate normally.

Can the Rear Seats of a Sedan Be Folded Down?

Most can be folded down, but not all sedan rear seats can be completely flattened. Here are the pros and cons of sedans and hatchbacks: 1. Sedan: Compared to a hatchback, it has an additional trunk, providing more space inside the car and greater space utilization. Additionally, the trunk is an independent compartment, resulting in less interference from the trunk and better sound insulation. Sedans offer better protection for passengers in the rear seats, generating less noise at high speeds and providing a quieter cabin. The downside is that they are more expensive and lack a rear wiper. 2. Hatchback: Hatchbacks are more compact and flexible in size, making them easier to park. They appear more stylish and are sufficiently practical. If the second-row seats can be folded down, it significantly expands the cargo space. Hatchbacks also offer better fuel efficiency than sedans. However, since the hatchback's cargo area is connected to the cabin, odors from the trunk can enter the interior.

Where to Add Transmission Fluid for the 2018 Touareg?

The transmission fluid filler port for the Touareg is located underneath the transmission, featuring a hex socket screw. Loosen this screw and insert the filler tube to add transmission fluid. Below are relevant details: 1. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, providing lubrication to extend the lifespan of the transmission components. It offers effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions and minimizes fluid loss under harsh operating conditions. 2. The Volkswagen Touareg utilizes a dual-clutch transmission that combines the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions. Instead of a torque converter, it employs two sets of clutches that alternate to achieve seamless gear shifts. This design allows the engine's power to be fully utilized, with minimal power interruption during shifts due to the extremely short shift times. The direct shifting mechanism results in reduced power loss, improving fuel efficiency by over 10%.

What are the reasons for the ABS warning light to illuminate in a car?

Car ABS warning light illuminates due to: 1. Wheel speed sensor failure; 2. ABS circuit failure; 3. ABS pump and pressure regulating solenoid valve failure; 4. ABS computer failure. The ABS light indicates a fault in the ABS system, which may cause the ABS system to stop functioning. The car will behave as if it does not have an ABS system, resulting in reduced braking effectiveness, increased braking distance, and poorer handling performance during braking. When the ABS light comes on, the fault should be promptly addressed. The function of the ABS anti-lock braking system: During car braking, it automatically controls the braking force of the brake system to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding to ensure maximum adhesion between the wheels and the ground, thereby shortening the braking distance.

Do I need to shift to first gear after stopping in second gear?

Starting requires engaging first gear. However, when stopping in second gear, there is no need to shift to first gear, but you should shift to neutral when stopping. Pay attention to the coordination between the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever when shifting gears. Below is some extended information about gear shifting: 1. Note: Always remember the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Gear shifts should be timely, correct, smooth, and swift. Upshifting should not skip gears, while downshifting can. 2. Gear-speed matching: When the speed matches the gear, the car's performance is at its best, and fuel efficiency is highest. If the speed and gear are mismatched, such as high speed with low gear or low speed with high gear, it not only increases fuel consumption but also causes irreversible damage to the engine and transmission. Therefore, it is essential to maintain proper gear-speed matching while driving.

Is It Possible to Shift Gears Without Pressing the Clutch?

It is possible to shift gears without pressing the clutch. Here are the relevant details: 1. During gear shifting: The clutch is just pressed but not fully engaged, meaning the clutch is not completely disengaged. The hand moves faster than the foot, and the gear is already engaged. This happens because the input and output shaft speeds of the transmission are perfectly synchronized, making it possible to shift gears without operating the clutch. 2. Additional information: The benefits of shifting gears without pressing the clutch: It eliminates the hassle of pressing the clutch, making driving more relaxed. With practice, it can significantly extend the clutch's lifespan, as repeatedly pressing the clutch can affect its durability. Due to differences in vehicle models, the gear ratios of the transmission may vary. Therefore, it is essential to precisely understand at what RPM the car needs to be in different gears for smooth matching.

Do 4S shops offer car delivery services for repairs?

This depends on whether the local 4S shop offers such services. Here are some precautions to take when leaving your car at a 4S shop for repairs: 1. Agree on the price before repairs: 4S shops usually don't allow bargaining, while other repair shops might. Before repairs, clarify the parts to be repaired, the components to be used, labor costs, and the total amount to avoid unexpected additional charges. 2. Carefully inspect and verify the vehicle's exterior damage: Before repairs, check the vehicle's exterior with the repair shop staff to identify any existing dents or scratches to prevent accidental damage during repairs. 3. Try to supervise the repair process: If you're present during repairs, the workers may be more diligent, reducing the chance of minor damages to your car.
