Automatic Transmission Car Start-Stop Procedure is introduced as follows: Automatic transmission starting procedure: 1. Ignition, for models with one-button start, press the one-button start three times. The first press turns on the ACC light (circuit connection), the second press is for vehicle self-check, and the third press requires stepping on the brake to ignite; 2. Step on the brake; 3. Shift to D gear; 4. Release the handbrake; 5. Slowly release the brake, step on the accelerator, and the start is completed. Automatic transmission stopping procedure is as follows: 1. Step on the brake; 2. Shift to N gear (this step can be skipped); 3. Pull up the handbrake. For automatic transmission models, always pull the handbrake first before shifting to P gear to protect the transmission; 4. Release the foot brake and ensure the vehicle does not move; 5. Shift to P gear; 6. Turn off the ignition.

When starting an automatic transmission car, I usually first sit in the driver's seat and fasten the seat belt, press the brake pedal with my right foot to prevent the car from sliding, shift to P or N position, and then turn the key or press the start button to start the engine. After all the dashboard lights go off normally, I shift to D gear and start driving. When parking, make sure the car is completely stopped and the brake is pressed, shift to P gear to stabilize the car body, pull up the electronic handbrake or traditional handbrake to lock the wheels, and then turn off the engine. Finally, check that the windows are closed before unfastening the seat belt and leaving. Remember to maintain the vehicle regularly, check the fuel gauge and water temperature before starting, especially in winter, warm up for 30 seconds to ensure even lubrication, which can extend the engine's life.

How soon can I schedule the Subject 4 test after passing Subject 3 in Fuzhou?

On the same day you pass Subject 3, if time permits, you can directly take the Subject 4 test. If not, you'll have to wait ten days before scheduling the exam. Key points for the Subject 4 test: When motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles meet on a narrow bridge, motor vehicles should slow down and keep to the right. Downhill vehicles yield to uphill vehicles, but if the downhill vehicle has already reached halfway while the uphill vehicle hasn't started ascending, then the uphill vehicle yields to the downhill one. Right-turning vehicles yield to left-turning ones. At roundabouts, vehicles entering yield to those exiting. Vehicles with obstacles yield to those without. Introduction to Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory exam, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the "Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China", Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4", which evaluates "driving ethics".

What to Do When the Car Suddenly Stalls and Won't Start?

There are four main reasons why a car might suddenly stall and fail to start: throttle failure, fuel pump not supplying fuel, timing belt breakage, and coolant temperature sensor failure. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Throttle failure: Excessive carbon buildup in the idle control motor can cause the car to stall when coasting. When the throttle position sensor malfunctions, the data received by the sensor becomes inaccurate, generally leading to excessively high engine idle speed and potentially causing the engine to stall. 2. Fuel pump not supplying fuel: If the fuel pump fails, it will have trouble supplying fuel. Without sufficient fuel, the engine will naturally stall. 3. Timing belt breakage: After the timing belt breaks, the car may suddenly stall while driving. Upon attempting to restart, the engine may rev high but fail to compress. This issue typically occurs in older vehicles rather than new ones. 4. Coolant temperature sensor failure: Inaccurate data from the coolant temperature sensor can cause the car to stall after warming up and fail to restart. In such cases, it's necessary to visit a repair shop or dealership to check the data with a diagnostic tool. If a problem is detected, the coolant temperature sensor should be replaced.

What are the rules for Lynk & Co's lifetime free warranty?

"Lynk & Co's lifetime warranty covers the three major components, but not wear-and-tear consumable parts. There are many consumable parts with limited lifespans, such as tires, batteries, wiper blades, the four major filters, brake fluid, brake pads, remote control batteries, clutch plates, transmission fluid, spark plugs, engine oil and coolant, hydraulic oil, etc. These are collectively referred to as consumable parts. The detailed rules for Lynk & Co's lifetime warranty are as follows: Lynk & Co car owners must perform all maintenance or repairs exclusively at authorized 4S shops: if maintenance or repair is done outside even once, the owner's lifetime warranty qualification will be revoked. The car must be registered for non-commercial use and ownership cannot be transferred. After the car is sold to a second owner, the lifetime warranty is no longer applicable. Major accidents: the car cannot enjoy the lifetime warranty after being involved in a major accident. Major accidents may compromise the car's original durability, making it difficult to guarantee that frequent issues will not arise. No modifications or official use: otherwise, the lifetime warranty qualification will be canceled."
