Pressing the clutch before braking is a major mistake, especially in emergency situations, as it increases the risk. More related details are as follows: 1. Correct Operation Method: First, press the brake to slow down the vehicle, then press the clutch to quickly shift gears. The first two steps should not be reversed. Pressing the brake first is to prevent the vehicle from slowing down too much. Remember not to press the brake all the way at once, as this may cause the engine to stall. 2. Proper Use of Brakes: There are numerous accidents on highways caused by incorrect braking methods leading to vehicle rollovers. Therefore, it's essential to use the brakes properly and make accurate judgments. At low speeds, you can directly press the clutch, while at high speeds, pressing the brake serves two purposes: first, to slow down the vehicle, and second, to reduce the engine speed. Pressing the clutch at high engine speeds can damage the clutch plate. Braking is one of the important ways to demonstrate driving skills.

What Causes Severe Shaking When Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission?

Severe shaking of the car body when shifting gears in an automatic transmission is due to the transmission gear oil being too viscous and dense, which makes the transmission parts more noticeably receive the power from the engine, causing the car to shake significantly. This situation requires prompt attention. Possible reasons for the transmission gear oil becoming viscous: The gear oil has been contaminated with various impurities from inside the gearbox during operation. Corresponding solutions: If contaminated with impurities, timely cleaning is sufficient. Running the air conditioning without turning off the engine consumes gasoline. When the air conditioning is on, the engine control unit increases the engine speed by about 100 RPM, which increases the engine's air intake, leading to more fuel injection and a richer air-fuel mixture. The engine computer uses this method to improve engine stability, resulting in higher gasoline consumption. Below are other impacts of running the air conditioning without turning off the engine: Increased carbon monoxide concentration: During idling, incomplete combustion of gasoline produces carbon monoxide. The longer the idling time, the higher the concentration of carbon monoxide around the vehicle. Prolonged idling while stationary can lead to extremely high carbon monoxide levels inside the car, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and fatalities if people are inside, leading to safety incidents. Increased carbon buildup: Idling causes incomplete combustion of gasoline, leading to carbon buildup. Severe carbon buildup can affect the normal operation of the vehicle, reducing engine displacement, increasing fuel consumption, and causing exhaust emissions to exceed standards.

How to Unlock a Motorcycle When the Key Is Lost?

If the motorcycle key is lost, you can use another key or tools to open it. As a last resort, you can directly replace the lock. Here are some extended solutions: 1. Another Key: If there is no spare key, try using a key with similar teeth to the original one. Insert it while shaking and turning, and try several times. 2. Using Tools: If that doesn't work, insert a flathead screwdriver into the keyhole and tap it in. Then, use an adjustable wrench to grip the screwdriver's flat head and forcefully turn it to open. 3. Direct Lock Replacement: Call a mechanic to replace the lock directly. 4. Motorcycle: A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars that control the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transport, and also serves as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc.

How to Extract Excess Engine Oil from a Car

Excess engine oil can be extracted using a long straw with a shampoo pump nozzle. The specific method is as follows: 1. Purchase a soft tube longer than the oil dipstick. With the engine cold, insert the tube into the oil dipstick port. Connect the shampoo pump nozzle end to a plastic water bottle, then press the nozzle to extract the oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick when nearly done. 2. During oil changes, traditional gravity drainage is more reliable than oil extraction. Many vehicle models cannot be thoroughly drained via extraction. For vehicles with oil filters located in the lower half of the engine, gravity drainage is typically used for both oil and filter replacement. Otherwise, even after extraction, the engine guard plate would still need removal to replace the oil filter.

What are the pros and cons of engine start-stop technology?

Engine start-stop technology can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. The downside is that it requires more durable starters and higher-quality engine oil. Engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) during driving. When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. The working principle of engine start-stop is: 1. When the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. 2. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops running.
