Negotiation is possible, as the insurance won't cover much in this case. Here are some relevant tips about reversing: 1. Precautions: Whether you're a novice or an experienced driver, this is a must-know point. Not only should you avoid pressing the accelerator while reversing, but you should also avoid half-pressing the brake. Especially for beginners, reversing should be done at a speed slower than idle to allow more time to observe the surroundings. 2. Basic essentials: When parking in a parking lot, first, visually estimate the width of the parking space, check for any obstacles behind, whether there are cars parked on both sides, and whether the length suits your vehicle model. If visibility is poor at night, step out to observe the exact position before reversing.

How to Use D Gear and S Gear in a Car?

Automatic cars have both D gear and S gear as forward gears. Normally, D gear is used for driving, while S gear can be used for overtaking and acceleration. Here are the specific introductions to D gear and S gear: 1. D (driving) is the forward gear. When driving in this gear, the hydraulic control system shifts gears according to the preset program. The entire process operates based on the set logic, and you only need to press the accelerator. 2. S (sport) is the sport gear. When this gear is engaged, the hydraulic system can only connect to the first and second gears among the forward gears. The automatic transmission can only shift between these two gears and cannot engage higher gears. The upshift is delayed, resulting naturally in stronger power. When shifting from D gear to S gear, there will be an obvious downshift phenomenon. This forced downshift is to obtain greater output torque, making the car feel more "powerful." 3. In terms of fuel consumption, S gear offers greater horsepower and stronger power but consumes more fuel, while D gear is more economical. Therefore, it is not recommended to use S gear during normal driving, especially when driving slowly.

What to Do When There's Noise While Turning the Steering Wheel?

Below are the potential locations and solutions for noises that may occur when turning the steering wheel: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset: If you turn on the turn signal while steering, the noise might come from the rebound clip of the turn signal's automatic reset mechanism. This is normal. Sometimes, you may hear more than one sound because there are three automatic reset positions per full rotation of the steering column. If you turn the wheel a full circle, you'll hear three clicks. 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover: If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it might be from the steering column dust cover. Lack of lubrication in the dust cover can cause friction noise. In this case, applying some grease inside the dust cover will eliminate the noise. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel: If the noise originates from inside the steering wheel, it's likely caused by the airbag clock spring. Remove the steering wheel airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it does, the clock spring should be replaced. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying. 4. Noise from the shock absorber top bearing: If the noise comes from outside the car, it might be due to insufficient lubrication in the shock absorber's top bearing. Open the hood and listen to see if the noise is coming from the shock absorber's top mount. If it is, apply some grease to the top bearing. If the noise continues after greasing, the bearing will need to be replaced. 5. Noise from the stabilizer bar: If the noise isn't from the shock absorber, check if the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings can cause noise not only when turning the steering wheel but also when driving on uneven roads. Loose bushings can be fixed by adding shims, but damaged ones must be replaced.

What does the S gear mean?

S gear is the sport mode of a car. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have gear positions P, R, N, D, and S: ①P (Parking gear): When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. ②R (Reverse gear). ③N (Neutral gear): The N position is equivalent to neutral or used when towing. ④D (Drive gear): During normal driving, place the gear lever in the D position, and the car can automatically shift between forward gears. ⑤S gear is the sport mode of the car ("S" stands for "Sport"): In sport mode, the transmission can shift freely but with a delay, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time, allowing the car to move at high RPM in lower gears for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration.
