I researched this back when I drove the old F30. BMW's electronic shifter actually has a little trick for forcing it into neutral. See that inconspicuous small square on the left side of the gear lever? You need to simultaneously press the unlock button on the shifter and this small square for about 1 second to shift to neutral. Remember this can only be done when the vehicle is powered off, mainly useful for repairs or towing. Last time my buddy accidentally triggered this during a battery change, causing a yellow transmission warning light on the dashboard which disappeared after restarting. Never mess with it unnecessarily as it could harm the gearbox.

What is the sequence for driving and parking an automatic transmission car?

Automatic transmission driving and parking sequence is brake, neutral, handbrake. The following is an introduction to automatic transmission: 1.

Misconceptions: (1) Keeping the car in D gear during long stops: Some owners often only step on the brake pedal when stuck in traffic, keeping the gear lever in D gear without shifting. (2) Coasting in N gear at high speeds or downhill: Some drivers shift the gear lever to N gear (neutral) to save fuel when driving at high speeds or going downhill, which can easily burn out the transmission.

Where is the trunk switch located on the Verano?

The trunk switch on the Verano is located on the driver's side door and is in the form of a button. Pressing this button will open the trunk lid. Many cars do not have a separate switch on the trunk lid itself; such trunk lids need to be opened using the remote control or an interior button. The trunk is a space for storing items, and its importance cannot be overlooked. Before opening the trunk lid, it is necessary to ensure that it will not interfere with any obstacles behind the vehicle, as this could potentially damage the trunk lid. For some SUV models, it is especially important to confirm the distance between the vehicle and any rear obstacles before opening the trunk lid to prevent damage.
