My car shows “check auto gearbox” and the R gear is flashing. The car is not moving.

Hello,

This flashing message indicates a failure of the electronic transmission system.
To assist you properly you would have to carry out a CAN-scan of the management system. Share any fault codes on our site so that we can evaluate and give possible solutions.

How to carry out CAN-scan:

For now, you could try and carry out a battery reset.
Disconnect the battery negative terminal, leave disconnected for at least 10 minutes.
Reconnect and see if vehicle can be driven.
See image below.

Cheers, Boris
