Accidentally shifting into P gear at slow speed can affect the car and may damage the transmission. If you hear a clicking sound, it is the sound of the transmission's locking mechanism skipping teeth. Prolonged occurrence of this situation can lead to the locking mechanism breaking. Do not shift gears arbitrarily when the car is not completely stationary. If you accidentally shift into P gear, simply switch the gear to neutral in time to avoid causing excessive damage to the transmission. The working principle of P gear is to lock the transmission output shaft, restricting the transmission of the output shaft to prevent the car from moving. Therefore, P gear should only be used after the car has come to a complete stop. When waiting at a red light, it is better to use neutral gear.

What is the recommended tire pressure for sedans in summer?

The recommended tire pressure for sedans in summer is between 2.2 and 2.4 bar. The standard pressure can be found on the label next to the driver's door, in the drawer near the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The tire pressure should be set according to the manufacturer's recommendation, as it is determined based on factors such as the vehicle's weight and chassis height. Summer tire maintenance tips: 1. Regularly remove stones or foreign objects from the tread grooves to prevent deformation of the tire crown; 2. Prevent tire blowouts; 3. Check whether the tire pressure is within the standard range, neither too high nor too low; 4. If you frequently drive on highways, be sure to rotate the tires regularly.

Is it necessary to start with half-clutch on the road?

Normally, starting a car requires half-clutch, especially for manual transmission vehicles. When driving in urban areas, frequent use of half-clutch is unavoidable. Introduction to Half-Clutch: Half-clutch refers to the unstable connection state of the clutch, where the driver gradually reduces the pressure on the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to be in a state of simultaneous rotation and slipping. Principle of Half-Clutch: Half-clutch technology maximizes driving efficiency by reducing friction generated by the clutch, creating a soft connection between the engine and the driving wheels. It is a driving technique that perfectly combines power, speed, and vehicle protection.

Is It Normal to Find Black Soot on a Motorcycle Exhaust Pipe?

These black substances are a normal phenomenon. Carbon is produced from gasoline combustion, and such occurrences are common in the exhaust system and do not indicate a malfunction. Blue Smoke from the Exhaust Pipe: During engine operation, faint blue smoke is often visible at the tail of the exhaust muffler, accompanied by excessive oil consumption. Possible causes of this issue include: oil level being too high; cylinder compression pressure below the specified value; increased gap between the piston and cylinder. Black Smoke from the Exhaust Pipe: When the engine is running, black smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe, and a pungent gasoline smell can be detected, especially during acceleration. Possible causes of this issue include: overly rich air-fuel mixture; poor spark plug performance; delayed ignition timing.
