Coasting in P gear can harm the car. Here are the relevant details: 1. Damage: The P gear in an automatic transmission car brakes the vehicle by engaging a locking plate into the gears, so forcibly moving the car may damage the automatic transmission gears. 2. External force: When the car is in P gear, it generally won't move unless subjected to significant external force. For example, if the car is rear-ended while in P gear, it could damage the transmission. Therefore, if an accident occurs, the automatic transmission should be inspected and repaired.

How to Remove Water Stains After Cleaning the Car Roof Liner?

Water stains left after cleaning the car roof liner can be removed by washing them off. Below is an introduction to water stains on car roof liners: 1. Interior Roof Liner: Since the filling material inside the car roof liner is designed for heat insulation and sound absorption, it has a strong water absorption capacity. Therefore, when cleaning, use a wrung-out cotton cloth or towel. A wet towel can cause the cleaning agent to soak into the roof material, making it difficult to dry and potentially leading to material peeling. 2. Cleaning Method: To check how dirty a dark-colored roof liner is, simply wipe the surface gently with a clean, damp towel. If the white towel picks up brownish stains, it indicates that the roof liner is quite dirty, as the fibers tend to absorb stains easily.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Shifting to Third Gear?

The reasons for abnormal noise when shifting to third gear are as follows: 1. Automatic transmission water ingress: If water enters the automatic transmission and is not repaired in time, it may lead to a series of problems over time, such as oil leaks and abnormal noises. 2. Long-term failure to replace automatic transmission fluid: If the automatic transmission fluid is not replaced for a long time, it will become thicker. If it loses its effectiveness due to prolonged use, there will be no protective layer between components, leading to direct friction. This exacerbates the wear of mechanical parts and, in severe cases, damages components such as the automatic transmission planetary gear set and differential. Damage to internal parts can cause abnormal noises in the automatic transmission.
