You can shift directly from third gear to first gear. Here is an introduction to the various gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P Gear: This is the parking gear, which uses the mechanical device inside the transmission to lock the rotating parts of the car. It must be used only when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, when the car is turned off, the gear must be in P. 2. N Gear: This is the neutral gear. Generally, when making a brief stop, you can shift to neutral, allowing your right foot to rest off the brake pedal. However, on slopes, you still need to press the brake to prevent the car from rolling unless you engage the handbrake or electronic brake. 3. D Gear: This is the drive gear. When in D gear, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed. The transmission will automatically determine the appropriate gear based on the throttle input and vehicle speed, eliminating the need for manual shifting.

How long can a car sit before the battery dies?

If a car sits for more than three months, the battery will die. Reasons for battery discharge over time: Automotive batteries are primarily starting-type lead-acid batteries. All batteries share one characteristic: self-discharge. This means even when the car battery isn't connected to any electrical components or under any load, it will gradually lose charge. Of course, the rate of discharge depends somewhat on the battery's manufacturing quality. Measures to prevent battery discharge: To avoid battery drain in long-term parked vehicles, the best practice is to start the engine periodically, allowing the car's alternator to recharge the battery. If the battery is in good condition, starting the car about every two weeks and running it at around 2,000 RPM for approximately half an hour should be sufficient to replenish the self-discharged power.

How to adjust the mixture ratio of a scooter carburetor?

Mixture ratio, also known as the "air-fuel ratio," refers to the proportion of air to fuel. When describing concentration, it is best to use terms like "rich" or "lean" for the fuel-air mixture. If referring to "high" or "low," it specifically indicates the A/F ratio, which is the "air-fuel ratio." Therefore, when the fuel-air mixture is "rich," there is more fuel and less air, resulting in a "low" A/F ratio. Conversely, when the mixture is "lean," there is less fuel and more air, leading to a "high" A/F ratio. Below are the detailed steps for adjusting the carburetor on a scooter: 1. First, prop up the vehicle. Turn the air-fuel adjustment screw clockwise until it stops, then back it off by 1/2 turn. 2. Rotate the idle screw clockwise until the spring beneath it is compressed (ideally around 4000 rpm). 3. Start the engine; the RPM will be high.
