You can start the engine directly in P gear. Here are the specific details about P gear: 1. P gear is the most common gear in automatic transmission models, usually located at the foremost position of the gearshift console, in front of the R gear, designed to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope. 2. Both P gear and N gear are neutral gears, where the power generated at the engine's input end cannot be transmitted to the transmission's output end. This is why drivers often experience a slight slide after parking in P gear on uneven surfaces. 3. When in N gear, all gears in the automatic transmission can rotate freely; but when in P gear, the output gears of the transmission are locked and stationary.

Where is the fuel filter located?

The location of the fuel filter: 1. The in-line fuel filter is located outside the fuel tank and connected to the return fuel pipe; 2. The built-in fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank. Fuel filters are divided into three categories: diesel filters, gasoline filters, and natural gas filters. Their function is to prevent particles, water, and impurities in the fuel from causing wear and other damage to the precision components of the fuel system. The recommended replacement interval for fuel filters varies depending on their structure, performance, and purpose. Most automobile manufacturers recommend replacing external filters every 48,000 kilometers for normal maintenance and every 24,000 kilometers for conservative maintenance. When the filter hose shows signs of aging or cracking due to dirt, oil, or other contaminants, it should be replaced promptly.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Qin Plus?

Qin Plus has a fuel tank capacity of 48L. Here is relevant information about automotive fuel tanks: 1. Design principle: Utilizing the heat energy generated by the engine during vehicle operation, an additional thermal circulation system is installed between the engine, fuel tank, and radiator. The original single fuel tank is redesigned into a combined fuel tank consisting of a main tank and an auxiliary tank. 2. Fuel tank capacity measurement unit: The international standard uses L (liter) as the measurement unit for automotive fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for fuel tank capacity. In China, the regulation stipulates that automotive fuel tank capacity should be at 95% of the rated value, but actual capacity usually exceeds the nominal capacity based on practical circumstances, so there's no need to worry about the fuel tank being smaller than indicated.

What Causes a Car to Bounce on Smooth Roads?

Reasons why a car bounces on smooth roads: 1. Incorrect wheel alignment: Wheel alignment refers to the toe angle, camber angle, as well as the caster angle and kingpin inclination angle of the wheels. When these angles change, the tire contact patch and the vehicle's thrust line may be altered; 2. Shock absorber failure: Leaking shocks result in the inability of the shock absorber to control the spring, causing the spring to oscillate several times before stabilizing when encountering bumps; 3. Suspension failure: Vehicles that have been used for a certain period are more prone to suspension aging, leading to a bumpy ride; 4. Frame deformation, front axle displacement, negative toe-in, loose vertical arms, uneven front leaf spring stiffness, and loose tie rod ball joints.
