Once while driving, I accidentally misoperated the gear shift stalk. Will there be any impact?

Official answer

Please rest assured, this operation will not affect the vehicle. To ensure driving safety, the Xiaomi EV electronic gear shift system features multiple error-prevention designs. Taking the vehicle moving forward in D gear as an example:

When the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 7 km/h, it cannot be shifted into R gear to avoid safety hazards;

When the vehicle speed is less than 7 km/h, it is allowed to shift into R gear to facilitate quick gear switching during parking;

Push the gear shift lever up lightly and hold for 1 second, the gear will shift into N gear, and the vehicle will maintain a neutral coasting state; at this time, pushing it down to the limit position again can restore D gear;

If the P gear is briefly touched by mistake, the system will automatically recognize it as a misoperation and will not trigger the braking function to avoid safety hazards;

In emergency situations, continuously pressing the P gear button will trigger the emergency braking function, and the vehicle will decelerate at a certain range of deceleration values until it stops.

We remind you to try to shift gears when the vehicle is stationary, while paying attention to the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Safety first.
