Automatic transmission P gear gets stuck due to damage to the gear limit switch, brake light switch, or brake light fuse. Automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions arranged from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Driving an automatic transmission car only requires the use of the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D to fully meet driving needs. For automatic transmissions, the P gear also serves as the vehicle's parking gear. However, based on the shifting principle of the P gear, it functions like a pawl. Structurally, it consists of the automatic transmission P gear locking mechanism, locking gear, and locking pin, forming a complete set of action mechanisms.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Changan Eado?

The actual fuel consumption of the Changan Eado is 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers. Automobile fuel consumption: Automobile fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle's fuel consumption when driving a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the chassis of the vehicle, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data of the model. Changan Eado: The Eado measures 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. The exterior design was led by Italian designer CARMINATI-STEFANO, with lines on the front face and grille highlighting a noble and fashionable atmosphere. The lines of the Eado slightly tilt backward, giving it a very dynamic appearance.

What does eDrive mean?

eDrive is the term used by BMW for its new energy powertrain, representing the electric drive solution within the BMW-iPerformance electric performance strategy. The three core components of eDrive are: the electric motor, high-voltage lithium-ion battery, and intelligent energy management system. Models equipped with this system feature "eDrive" badges on exterior and interior details, along with eDrive function menus integrated into the instrument panel and iDrive operating system. The three driving modes of eDrive are: AUTO-eDrive automatic mode, which allows pure electric driving at speeds up to 80 km/h, with the system automatically activating the internal combustion engine when higher speeds or other driving demands are required; MAX-eDrive forced pure electric mode, enabling the vehicle to drive purely on electricity at a maximum speed of 120 km/h, with the internal combustion engine starting when the speed limit is exceeded or battery charge is insufficient; and SAVE-BATTERY battery preservation mode, which keeps the battery charged through continuous operation of the internal combustion engine. Simply put, on the X1-PHEV, the two eDrive functions—AUTO-eDrive and MAX-eDrive—can be combined with BMW's three dynamic driving modes to create nine customizable driving modes. For example, in the default mode, eDrive=AUTO-eDrive + dynamic driving mode=Comfort, the system prioritizes electric power consumption. When the battery charge drops below the system's threshold, the internal combustion engine starts to recharge the battery and provide power output. This mode benefits from a self-learning function, ensuring a driving range of over 60 kilometers. Another mode is eDrive=MAX-eDrive + dynamic driving mode=ECO-Pro, where the system enables pure electric driving at speeds up to 120 km/h and includes a "coasting" function, allowing the vehicle to maintain pure electric driving during long-distance highway travel while also recovering kinetic energy.
