Starting an automatic transmission car requires pressing the brake. You must press the brake and shift to D gear before moving forward; otherwise, the vehicle may suddenly move forward, leading to accidents. Typically, an automatic transmission car cannot directly start and shift to D gear without pressing the brake. The correct starting sequence for an automatic transmission car is: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the second ignition position (power mode), then wait for the system to complete self-check; 2. Shift the gear lever from P to N; 3. Release the brake and start the car's engine; 4. Press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever from N to D, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start moving.

Is the Wuling Hongguang shock absorber universal?

Wuling Hongguang shock absorbers are not universal. More information about shock absorbers is as follows: 1. Shock absorbers are used to suppress the oscillation of the spring after absorbing shock and the impact from the road surface. 2. Shock absorbers are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of frame and body vibration, thereby improving the driving smoothness of the vehicle. 3. If the shock absorber is too soft, the body will bounce up and down; if the shock absorber is too hard, it will bring too much resistance, hindering the normal operation of the spring. 4. Hard shock absorbers should be matched with hard springs, and the hardness of the spring is closely related to the weight of the vehicle. Therefore, heavier vehicles generally use harder shock absorbers.

Can brake pads be replaced at 60,000 kilometers?

Brake pads can be replaced at 60,000 kilometers. Typically, front brake pads need replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Definition: Brake pads generally consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, with the coating process monitored by an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. The heat insulation layer is made of non-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. 2. Quality issues: Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out. Generally, lower-cost brake pads wear out faster. Inferior materials can lead to excessive heat decay and thermal conductivity, resulting in sparks and loud noises during braking, shorter lifespan, approximately 30% longer braking distance, and lack of post-sale guarantees due to untested and rough manufacturing processes.

What are the impacts of rear-end collision and subsequent cutting on a vehicle?

A rear-end collision typically has minimal impact on the powertrain and mechanical systems of a vehicle. However, if the main frame is damaged, it could significantly affect the vehicle's safety. Additionally, any vehicle that has undergone sheet metal repair or cutting will experience depreciation, resulting in a substantial price reduction when sold as a used car. Below is additional information: 1. Sheet Metal Work: Sheet metal fabrication is a comprehensive cold-working process for thin metal sheets (usually under 6mm), including shearing, punching, bending, welding, riveting, mold forming, and surface treatment. A notable characteristic is the uniform thickness of the same part. 2. Advantages: Most sheet metal components are made from thin metal sheets and tubes. Due to their lightweight, high strength and rigidity, ability to form complex shapes, low material consumption, and smooth surfaces, they are widely used in daily life and industrial production. The finished products are extensively applied in the bodies of cars and trucks.

Is the Annual Inspection Sticker Required in 2020?

Annual inspection stickers are still required to be displayed. Below are specific details regarding annual inspection stickers: 1. Legal Provisions: According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, if a motor vehicle is driven on the road without displaying the inspection compliance sticker, a fine of 50 yuan and 1 demerit point will be imposed. In severe cases, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the motor vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license, sticker, or complete the necessary procedures. 2. Reform Changes: Now, the annual vehicle inspection and environmental protection inspection stickers have been merged into one. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain a separate environmental protection sticker. Motor vehicles only need to display the inspection compliance sticker and compulsory insurance sticker. The annual inspection sticker must be displayed; otherwise, the vehicle may be inspected at any time, resulting in fines or vehicle impoundment.
