Once the windshield washer fluid is frozen, it cannot be thawed by the heat of the engine. In this case, the vehicle needs to be placed in a heated garage for more than 20 hours to completely thaw the fluid. Selection of windshield washer fluid: In autumn and winter, the windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and antifreeze properties. Winter windshield washer fluid should be selected based on its antifreeze performance, choosing a fluid with a freezing point at least 10 degrees below the local minimum temperature. Otherwise, it may cause the fluid to freeze or lead to issues like a malfunctioning washer pump. The selection can be made according to the local temperature, as reputable brands categorize their products into different levels based on temperature, allowing for seasonal choices. Function of windshield washer fluid: Windshield washer fluid is used to clean the windshield and is something every car owner will encounter during vehicle use. The fluid needs to be added to the washer fluid reservoir in the engine compartment. When needed, the lever on the right side of the steering wheel can be operated to spray the fluid onto the windshield for cleaning.

What is the simplest method for pulling over with an automatic transmission?

First, turn on the right turn signal to let other vehicles know you are preparing to pull over. This helps clarify what you intend to do. Press the clutch and downshift by one gear—for example, shift from third gear to second gear—to reduce speed and select a suitable parking spot. Check the rearview mirrors on both sides to observe the traffic behind you and assess the road conditions. Then, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right to guide the car toward the parking direction.

What are the correct steps for parking an automatic transmission car?

After reaching the parking spot, press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Shift the gear lever into N (Neutral) while keeping the brake pedal pressed. Depending on the slope of the ground, such as when parking on an incline, the handbrake should be pulled tighter. Engage the handbrake and release the foot brake. If parked on a slope, the vehicle may move slightly at this point. Once the vehicle is completely stationary, press the brake pedal again and shift into P (Park). After completing these steps, exit the vehicle and lock it.
