The button on the Sylphy's gear shift lever is used to switch gears. The function of the gear lock button: To ensure safety and prevent accidental gear engagement, which could lead to unintended forward or backward movement and cause accidents. Precautions for using gears in automatic transmission models are as follows: 1. Generally, when shifting between N, D, and R gears in automatic transmission models, you do not need to press the shift button. However, when the gear is in other positions, the shift button must be pressed. When shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear, there is no need to press the shift button. 2. Automatic transmission vehicles can only be started when the gear is in the P or N position, and the brake pedal must also be depressed. When starting, the gear must be moved from the P position to the D position, and the brake pedal must be pressed at this time. 3. When driving an automatic transmission vehicle, remember not to coast in the N gear, because the gears in the automatic transmission require lubrication. When the gear is in the N position, the oil pump does not work and cannot properly supply oil to lubricate the gears, which can cause the internal temperature of the transmission to rise rapidly, leading to irreversible damage to the transmission.
I've been driving the Sylphy for a while now, and that small button on the gear shift is actually called the shift lock button. Its main purpose is to prevent you from accidentally moving the gear. For example, when the car is parked and the gear shift is in the P (Park) position, if you want to shift to R (Reverse) to back up or D (Drive) to move forward, you need to press this button first. If you don't press it, the gear shift won't budge. This design is quite thoughtful as it prevents dangerous situations caused by accidentally bumping the gear shift while driving. It's especially useful when kids in the car are fiddling around. When I first got the car, I found it odd and thought it was an unnecessary feature, but now I'm used to it and naturally press it every time I start the car. The operation is simple: start the car, press the brake pedal, hold the button, and then push the gear shift. This little feature makes driving safer, especially in congested urban areas where frequent stopping and gear shifting are common. Overall, the Sylphy's design is quite user-friendly in this aspect, reducing the risk of mishandling.
