Exceeding 3000 kilometers does not mean the break-in period is over for a new car. Definition of the break-in period: A new car is considered to be in the break-in period within the first 5000 kilometers. Although the engine of a new car undergoes cold break-in before leaving the factory, this process cannot replace the actual break-in during use. When starting the engine, it is particularly important to warm up the new car. The owner should wait until the water temperature gauge needle moves and the idle speed on the tachometer decreases before driving. Precautions during the break-in period: Avoid emergency braking, as it not only shocks the braking system during break-in but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine. It is best to avoid emergency braking within the first 300 kilometers of driving. Additionally, overloading a new car during the break-in period can cause damage to the mechanical components.

Where is the parking brake located in an automatic transmission car?

The position of the parking brake in an automatic transmission car varies depending on the make and model, with different designs as follows: 1. Traditional "pull-handle" mechanical parking brakes and electronic parking brakes are located next to the gear lever, while foot-operated parking brakes are on the left side of the brake pedal. 2. More advanced "auto-hold systems" do not require pressing any buttons or switches; the parking brake is automatically engaged when the car stops. Additional information: 1. The professional term for the parking brake is the auxiliary brake, which operates differently from the main brake. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. 2. Long-term use of the parking brake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use may reduce its effectiveness and increase the parking brake's travel distance.

What is the start-stop method for automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission start-stop method is: 1. Power on the entire vehicle, press the foot brake to start, shift to D gear, release the handbrake and then the foot brake to start; 2. Press the foot brake, shift to N gear, pull the handbrake, release the foot brake and then turn off the engine to shift to P gear to stop. Precautions for shifting gears in automatic transmission cars: 1. Make sure the gear is in N gear or P gear before starting, and press the brake when starting; 2. Gear shifting should be timely, accurate, decisive and quick, avoid dragging; 3. Upshift after acceleration, downshift after deceleration; 4. Use D gear when driving on flat roads; 5. No need to press the shift button when switching between N, D, and 3 gears.

Is it necessary to install a 360-degree panoramic system?

360-degree panoramic systems are not necessary to install. The reasons for not installing a 360-degree panoramic camera are as follows: Drilling holes in the rearview mirrors: Since two cameras in the 360-degree panoramic system need to be installed under the rearview mirrors, it is necessary to drill two installation holes in the rearview mirrors. Removing a large number of vehicle components: Installing a 360-degree panoramic system requires removing a large number of vehicle components, such as the rearview mirrors, door panels, center console panels, and in some cases, even the doors. Safety hazards: If the product quality is substandard or the wiring is improperly arranged, it can easily pose safety hazards, even risking spontaneous combustion.

What is the normal expected pressure value for a dual-clutch transmission?

The normal expected pressure value for a dual-clutch transmission is 2600. A value above 2600 is considered normal, while a value below 2600 may warrant replacement of the electro-hydraulic module. If the pressure is below 2600 but the vehicle can still operate normally, it is advisable to monitor the situation closely. The dual-clutch transmission originated from a patent filed in 1939 by Germany's Kegresse.A, which first proposed the design concept of dividing a manual transmission into two parts: one part transmits odd-numbered gears, and the other transmits even-numbered gears. The power transmission is achieved through two clutches connecting two input shafts, with adjacent gears alternately meshing with the gears on the two input shafts. By coordinating the control of the two clutches, it is possible to change the transmission ratio without interrupting power, thereby reducing shift time and effectively improving shift quality.

How to Reduce Carbon Deposits in Cars?

Methods to reduce carbon deposits in cars include: 1. Perform regular car maintenance and change the engine oil; 2. Clean the car's air filter; 3. Replace the car's spark plugs on schedule; 4. Clean the car's throttle body; 5. Avoid stomping on the accelerator and minimize sudden braking; 6. Replace the car's fuel filter on schedule. Causes of carbon deposits in cars include: 1. Short driving times and low driving speeds; 2. Use of low-grade gasoline; 3. Poor sealing of the engine valve oil seals and piston rings; 4. Carbon deposits from oil vapor in the crankcase forced ventilation system; 5. Spark plug power cut when the car is turned off.
