The reason for the Baojun 510 prompting to shift to neutral when starting is: the transmission mistakenly sensed it was not in neutral, so you need to shift out of neutral and then shift back into it. Taking the 2021 Baojun 510 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4220mm, width 1740mm, height 1615mm, a wheelbase of 2550mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, and a curb weight of 1206kg. The 2021 Baojun 510 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 99PS, a maximum torque of 135Nm, and a maximum power of 73kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As someone who's been driving for many years, encountering the Baojun 510's neutral gear startup prompt is quite common. This is primarily the vehicle's safety design to prevent accidental coasting or engine damage from starting directly in gear. Common causes may include poor contact in the clutch pedal switch, possibly due to dust accumulation or aging causing signal instability; it could also be a faulty gear position sensor failing to detect the correct neutral position. Sometimes operational errors like not fully depressing the clutch can trigger it too. I recommend first checking the operation procedure - ensure fully depressing the clutch and properly engaging neutral before starting. If the prompt persists frequently, don't delay - promptly visit a 4S shop to inspect the clutch system components or replace sensors. Safety comes first - don't let minor issues escalate into major problems.
