Revving the engine in Neutral (N) gear does not damage the car. Manufacturers specify that the engine can only be started in Park (P) or Neutral (N) gear, so accelerating in these gears will not cause harm. Below is a detailed introduction to the usage of automatic transmission gears: 1. P (Park) Gear. Generally, engaging or disengaging this gear requires pressing the brake to prevent accidental vehicle movement or other misoperations. When the car is stationary, pressing the brake allows you to engage this gear. Once engaged, the transmission is locked, and the vehicle will not move. In this gear, pressing the brake enables the car to start. 2. R (Reverse) Gear. This gear is used for reversing and also requires the car to be completely stationary before engagement to avoid damage. 3. N (Neutral) Gear. Engaging this gear disconnects the engine's power output from the vehicle's traction system. 4. D (Drive) Gear. This is the forward driving gear used for most road conditions, except when climbing steep slopes or descending long slopes. You can shift directly into N gear, but you cannot shift directly into L gear when the vehicle is moving at high speed. 5. L (Low) Gear. This gear is primarily used for climbing steep slopes or descending long slopes to control speed and avoid prolonged brake use, which could lead to brake failure.

When does the 30-second countdown start for hill start?

Hill start thirty seconds is counted from when the vehicle comes to a stop, and the vehicle must be started within 30 seconds. Below is an introduction to the related content of Subject 2: 1. Assessment content: The five assessment items are reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. 2. Requirements: Subject 2 requires 26 training hours, of which 2 hours are theoretical knowledge, so in practice, it is 24 hours. 3. After the vehicle stops: If the vehicle is not started within 30 seconds, it results in a failure. If the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line and deviates by no more than 50 cm, 10 points are deducted. 4. After the vehicle starts: If the vehicle rolls back between 30 cm and 50 cm, 20 points are deducted.

How many points are deducted for making a U-turn at an intersection?

Making a U-turn at an intersection deducts 3 points. Below is information about making U-turns at intersections: Situations where U-turns are not allowed at intersections: U-turns are not permitted at crosswalks within intersections. Generally, there are designated U-turn spaces before reaching the crosswalk, but if the current lane is a left-turn lane rather than a U-turn lane, U-turns are also prohibited; when there are clear signs prohibiting left turns or U-turns; when there is only a straight-ahead arrow on the road, U-turns are not allowed. Situations where U-turns are allowed at intersections: Making a U-turn according to the traffic light instructions; when there is a dashed line between the vehicle stop line and the crosswalk at the intersection, yielding to make a U-turn is permitted; U-turns are allowed when encountering yellow grid lines at intersections. Yellow grid lines indicate no parking is allowed, but U-turns are permitted. If the green light at an intersection is about to end, U-turns should not be made. If the light turns red while the vehicle is in this area, it is considered a traffic violation.

Which Cars Can Use 10W-40 Engine Oil?

This depends on the vehicle's operating environment and local temperatures to determine which cars are suitable for 10W-40 engine oil. Here are the relevant details: 1. Viscosity value: 10W-40 is the SAE standard viscosity rating for engine oil. This viscosity value first indicates that this oil is a multi-grade lubricant. The W stands for WINTER, and the number before W represents the pour point temperature, simply put, the freezing point temperature. 2. Freezing point temperature: The freezing point temperature for 10W oil is -25°C. Other common ratings are 0W at -35°C, 5W at -30°C, and 15W at -20°C. The number after W represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity. 40 means the kinematic viscosity standard at 100°C is between 12.5mm2/s and 16.3mm2/s, and it definitely does not mean, as some rumors suggest, that it can be used below 40°C.
