Gear Shifting Operation - Geely Emgrand 2015 Manual

Gear Shifting Operation

Parking
For a long time parking, after the vehicle is
stationary, you need to press the unlock
button and push the shift lever to Park (P),
the automatic transmission and shift lever
will be locked at this moment. For a short
time parking, you can push the shift lever to
Neutral (N). Please push the parking and
braking control lever at the same time to
stop the vehicle stably. Even for the short
time parking, it is also not recommended to
press the brake pedal and hold it, for this
operation in that way will shorten the ser-
vice life of the automatic transmission.
When the vehicle is moving, never
push the shift lever to Park (P) in any
situation, otherwise it may cause the seri-
ous mechanical damage and get the vehi-
cle out of control.
Drive
When the shift lever is in Park (P) or Neutral
(N), start the engine and stay for 3s or more
until the engine runs stably, press the brake
pedal and confirm the parking braking con-
trol lever is released, and then press the
unlock button and push the shift to Drive
(D), releasing the brake pedal and gently
stepping on the accelerator pedal. The
automatic transmission system will select
the optimal gear according to the running
status, like common driving, climbing and
towing heavy objects.
You must engage a gear before
pressing the accelerator pedal, never
press the accelerator pedal as engaging a
gear or press the accelerator and then
engage a gear.
When shifting gears, do not press the accel-
erator pedal.
Reverse
When the engine is in the smooth operation
and the vehicle is stationary, you can press
the brake pedal and confirm the parking
braking control lever is released, and then
press the unlock button and push the shift
to the Reverse (R), releasing the brake
pedal and gently stepping on the accelera-
tor pedal.
Manual Mode
Shifting the handle from Drive (D) to the
Sports Mode(S) can realize manual mode
gear shifting operation. The manual mode
has self-return function, namely when every
operation in the forward "+" direction, the
gear will increase by one; when every oper-
ation in the backward "-" direction, the gear
will decrease by one; the gears includes
first gear, second gear, third gear, fourth
gear, fifth gear and sixth gear, 6 gears in all.
When the vehicle is moving down a
long slop or an abrupt slope, you
should reduce the speed at first, and then
reduce the gear value, simultaneously
press the brake pedal to ensure the vehicle
can be running safely at a constant speed.
Be sure to minimize the continuous use of
the brake pedal, otherwise the braking
operation will fail easily.
Be care to shift down on the smooth sur-
face, for the sudden gear shifting would
cause the vehicle spinning or skidding.
When driving on the snow or muddy road
and in Drive (D) position, if the driving wheel
slips, you can put the shift lever to the man-
ual mode and shift to a lower speed gear.
