It does consume fuel even without pressing the accelerator. To keep the engine running, a certain amount of fuel must be consumed; otherwise, the car will stall. For example, when the car is idling in neutral, the engine maintains idle rotation, and in this case, the system still requires a small amount of fuel injection. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the fuel injection process is continuous. Here are some driving tips: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes. Before turning, make sure to check the rearview mirrors. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror; for right turns, primarily check the right rearview mirror. For both left and right turns, also check the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don’t focus only on the front of the car: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, avoiding fixation on the immediate front of the car. 3. Press the clutch: Generally, when decelerating above 40 km/h, there’s no need to press the clutch immediately; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before pressing the clutch. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.

How Do Swirl Marks Occur?

When washing or waxing the car, if one fails to notice that the cleaning tools or the car's surface contain dust, fine sand, or other particles. Washing or waxing is typically done in circular motions, which can cause fine spiral-shaped scratches on the car's paint. Under light exposure, these scratches appear as circular patterns resembling the rays of the sun, hence commonly referred to as swirl marks.

How to Operate an AMT Transmission?

Understanding the principle of AMT determines that its structure consists of a manual transmission and an automatic shifting device. Before ignition, first ensure the gear lever is in the P or N position, then press the brake pedal. After ignition, when moving the gear lever out of the P or N position, you also need to keep the brake pedal pressed. After shifting into D gear, release the brake pedal, and the car will start moving. To accelerate, press the throttle.

What do the numbers on a manual transmission represent?

Manual transmission numbers represent different gears. First gear is used for starting, second gear can also be used when starting. Higher gears are used when speed increases. First and second gears have relatively high torque, while third, fourth, and fifth gears don't have as much torque but provide higher speeds. When driving a manual transmission vehicle, the gear should match the engine RPM and vehicle speed. First gear is used for starting because its higher torque helps the car start smoothly. The highest gear can be used during highway cruising to reduce engine RPM and improve fuel economy.

How to Control Speed in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Automatic transmission controls speed by: simply managing the throttle to regulate velocity. For smooth driving, gently lift the throttle pedal at appropriate moments—this prompts the transmission to upshift automatically, maintaining lower engine RPM at identical speeds. Subsequent light throttle application continues acceleration without immediate downshifting, a design feature preventing frequent gear changes through early upshifts and delayed downshifts. Depressing the accelerator gradually increases speed; releasing it while applying brakes enables emergency deceleration; progressive throttle reduction achieves gradual slowing.
