3. Rotate the rotary shifter to the desired gear (Not in "P" gear).

4. Release the brake pedal after the

instrument panel comes on and the vehicle is started and ready for driving. Then the vehicle will drive in the selected gear.

NOTE

◆ Lock all doors before starting the vehicle and never open any door during driving.

◆ The vehicle can be started remotely via the GAC APP.

◆ For vehicles equipped with alcohol interlocks, the driver must undergo an alcohol breathing test before starting the vehicle.

◆ The vehicle cannot be started when the alcohol breath test fails.

◆ When the vehicle is not powered on, the alcohol interlock detection results will not have any impact on starting the vehicle.

Switching of driving modes

This vehicle allows multiple driving modes, which can be switched according to specific application scenarios.

Switching of driving modes

After the vehicle power supply is switched on, switch the driving modes through the center console display.

◇ Comfort mode - The most suitable combination of steering effort, acceleration response, and braking response for daily driving

◇ Sport mode - Agile performance response, with steering effort, acceleration response, and braking response more focused on driving pleasure

◇ Economy mode - Economy mode operates in single- pedal mode, allowing the driver to accelerate and decelerate by pressing and releasing the accelerator pedal. In single-pedal mode, the energy recovery rate is high, significantly extending the vehicle's range, especially suitable for urban driving conditions.

◇ Extreme energy saving - In extreme energy saving mode, the vehicle operates with the lowest energy consumption, which can extend the driving range, making it suitable for use when the battery level is low.

NOTE

◆ When extreme energy saving mode is activated, the air conditioning enters ECO mode, and some comfort features may become unavailable.

Coasting energy recovery

Coasting Energy Recovery converts part of the kinetic energy during braking or coasting into electrical energy for the battery, thereby extending the vehicle's range. The driver can enable or disable coasting energy recovery via the central console display. When energy recovery is enabled, the higher the recovery rate, the stronger the braking sensation when releasing the accelerator pedal.

WARNING

◆ If the vehicle begins to roll on a slope, press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The driver is responsible for constantly monitoring the vehicle's condition to avoid potential accidents. ◆ The deceleration caused by energy recovery cannot replace conventional braking. You must press the brake pedal for deceleration and stopping. ◆ Use the energy recovery function cautiously when driving on icy or snowy roads to prevent vehicle skidding.

Gear shifting

P: parking gear

R: reverse gear

N: neutral gear

D: drive gear

Switch on the vehicle power supply, close the doors, fasten the seat belt, depress the brake pedal, and rotate the rotary shifter to the desired gear. After the gearshifting, the current gear information will be displayed in the instrument panel.

After the vehicle comes to a full stop, press the "P" button to shift to "P" position. Then the EPB is automatically enabled.
