Continuing to use the air conditioning after the car has stopped running will cause the engine to idle. When the engine idles, due to incomplete fuel combustion, the exhaust often contains a large amount of carbon monoxide. Because the interior space of the car is small, when the vehicle is parked with the air conditioning still running and the doors and windows are closed, the air inside the car cannot circulate, leading to poor air quality. Relevant information about car air conditioning is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), referred to as car AC. 2. Function: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to the optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment and reducing travel fatigue; it also creates good working conditions for the driver and plays an important role in ensuring safe driving as a ventilation device.

What are the gear introductions?

Here are the introductions of gears: 1st gear: Also known as L gear in some models, this is a steep hill gear used when climbing slopes or facing high resistance. 2nd gear: This is also a forward gear that can be used when going uphill or downhill to maintain stable vehicle speed on slopes. D gear: This is the drive gear used for forward movement. When driving, simply place the gear lever in D position and the vehicle speed will be controlled by the accelerator. P gear: When parking, the gear should be placed in this position. P gear utilizes the vehicle's internal design to lock the rotation system, preventing movement even on inclined surfaces. N gear is neutral, generally used for temporary parking. R gear: This is the reverse gear, used when backing up the vehicle.

How Many Points Are Deducted for Gear Mismatch?

Gear mismatch deducts 10 points. Here are the details: Gear Introduction: During the Subject 3 driving test, the relationship between gears and speeds is as follows—first gear is for speeds between 0-15 km/h, second gear for 15-25 km/h, and third gear for 20-35 km/h. The examinee must switch between the specified speeds and gears appropriately to ensure the gear matches the speed. Speed and Gear: Stay calm when shifting gears to avoid incorrect gear selection. Fully depress the clutch pedal; otherwise, shifting may become difficult, and nervousness could lead to stalling. Automatic Transmission: The forward gear for automatic transmission is D (Drive). Generally, whether for daily driving or highway speeds, the D gear meets the vehicle's driving requirements.

What to Do If the Gear Suddenly Becomes Loose and Can't Engage?

If the gear suddenly becomes loose and can't engage, here are the solutions: Solution: If all gears are difficult to engage, it is likely a clutch issue. In this case, take the car to a repair shop to adjust the clutch. If only certain gears are hard to engage, it may be a problem with the linkage between the gear lever and the transmission's shifting mechanism. First, try adjusting the shift control mechanism. If that doesn’t work, the transmission may need repair, and it’s recommended to visit a repair shop. Manual Transmission Shifting Tips: Upshift after accelerating, downshift after decelerating: For manual transmission cars, remember the principle of "upshift after accelerating, downshift after decelerating"; Timing the shift: Generally, downshift when the engine speed drops below around 1500 RPM.
