In the process of vehicle movement, shifting gears does not require pressing the brake. Below is relevant knowledge about car gears: Definition of M Gear: The M gear is the manual mode, allowing free switching between D gear and M gear. Next to the D gear, there is a slash symbol with an M beside it, a common design in many vehicles. Simply push the gear lever to the side, and it will automatically switch from D gear to M gear. Definition of S Gear: The S gear, commonly known as the sport mode, differs from the D gear mainly in that it is a high-rev D gear. For example, in D gear mode, most cars shift gears between 1800~2000 RPM. Shifting in this range balances fuel consumption and power. When switching to S gear, you will noticeably feel the shift RPM increase, shifting at 2500 RPM instead of the previous 1800 RPM. Definition of L Gear: Commonly known as the low gear, it is a lower gear. In vehicles with more gears, it roughly corresponds to the range of first and second gears. In this mode, the gear will not automatically upshift, but it will downshift if there is insufficient power.

How many times can a temporary license plate be issued in Beijing, and how long is each issuance valid for?

There is no limit on how many times a temporary license plate can be issued in Beijing, but only one temporary license plate can be issued at a time. However, the temporary license plate for a new car can be extended, with a maximum of 3 extensions totaling 21 days. Below are the methods for displaying temporary license plates on vehicles: 1. One plate: A single temporary license plate should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view. 2. Two plates: If there are two temporary license plates, one should be affixed to the front windshield, and the other should be affixed to the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is no space on the rear windshield, the second temporary license plate should be carried in the vehicle.

What Are the Basic Maintenance Items for a Car?

Basic car maintenance includes five fluids, three waters, and tires. The five fluids refer to gasoline, engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and brake fluid. The three waters refer to radiator coolant, windshield washer fluid, and battery water. The last item is the car's tires. Tire maintenance includes regularly checking the tire pressure. Tires with pressure exceeding the specified level will significantly reduce their service life, while tires with pressure below the specified level will result in poor braking performance, difficulty in steering, or heavy steering, ultimately affecting the tire's service life. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Introduction to car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3.

Since November 1, 2016, to operate online ride-hailing services, the vehicle must obtain the "Online Ride-hailing Taxi Transport Certificate," and the driver must obtain the "Online Ride-hailing Taxi Driver Certificate," collectively referred to as "dual certificates." Operating without these certificates will result in substantial fines. Conditions for applying for dual certificates: Men under 60 years old, women under 55 years old; junior high school education or above; holding a corresponding motor vehicle driver's license for more than 3 years; no records of traffic crime, dangerous driving, drunk driving, or drug driving; no record of accumulating 12 points in the last 3 scoring cycles; no major or above traffic accidents with equal or greater responsibility in the last 3 years. Application address: Local vehicle management office or transportation bureau. Application materials: Completed "Online Ride-hailing Transport Certificate Application Form"; original and photocopies of household register or residence permit, ID card, and motor vehicle driver's license; physical examination report issued by a Grade 2A or above hospital within the last year; proof of no traffic crime, dangerous driving, drunk driving, or drug driving records, and no record of accumulating 12 points in the last 3 scoring cycles; proof of junior high school education or above.

How Many Kilometers Must Tires Be Replaced?

Tires generally need to be replaced after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below are the specific instructions for tire replacement: 1. Replacement time depends on the situation: For car owners with good driving habits, the tire replacement time is usually 3-5 years or after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If driving under more severe road conditions, such as frequently driving on gravel roads or experiencing frequent traffic jams, sudden braking, and sharp turns, the replacement time for tires will be shortened. 2. Tire aging time: The main material of tires is rubber, which undergoes natural aging, mainly manifested as the tire becoming harder and the sidewalls covered with small cracks. The general natural aging time is 4-5 years. Tires should be replaced promptly after 5 years of use to prevent the risk of blowouts. 3. Observe the wear condition of the tires: If the tire wear is severe and the tread pattern is level with the wear indicator, the tires need to be replaced. Otherwise, braking on wet or slippery roads will be more difficult, and the vehicle is prone to losing control. Additionally, driving on very rough roads increases the risk of blowouts.

What does the abbreviation ESP stand for?

ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program. The function of the ESP system is to monitor the driving state of the vehicle. When emergency obstacle avoidance or turning results in understeer or oversteer, it prevents the vehicle from deviating from the ideal trajectory. It integrates the functions of ABS, BAS, and ASR systems. The Electronic Stability Program can be considered a functional extension based on these two systems rather than an independent configuration. It aims to improve the vehicle's handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the car reaches its dynamic limits. The Electronic Stability Program enhances both the safety and handling of the vehicle.
