Starting the car in P gear does not damage an automatic transmission. The normal starting procedure for automatic transmission vehicles is to press the brake and start the engine while in P gear. Automatic transmissions use planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears automatically based on the degree of throttle pedal input and changes in vehicle speed. Common types of automatic transmissions include hydraulic automatic transmissions, hydrostatic automatic transmissions, electric automatic transmissions, stepped mechanical automatic transmissions, and continuously variable mechanical automatic transmissions. Among these, hydraulic automatic transmissions primarily consist of hydraulically controlled gear-shifting systems, which mainly include an automatic clutch and an automatic transmission. They can automatically shift gears according to throttle opening and changes in vehicle speed.

Will Insurance Cover a Parked Car Flooded by Water?

Here is a detailed introduction regarding whether a car flooded by water can be compensated by the insurance company: Having Car Damage Insurance: Only if you have purchased commercial auto insurance that includes car damage insurance can you receive compensation. The coverage of car damage insurance includes rescue costs, cleaning expenses, and damage to electrical components or interior parts. However, damage to the engine caused by flooding or driving through water is generally excluded from coverage. Purchasing Water Wading Insurance: If the vehicle has water wading insurance, all damages to the vehicle, including engine damage, can be compensated. If the vehicle is flooded and the driver forcibly starts the engine, causing engine damage, even if car damage insurance and water wading insurance are purchased, the insurance company will not compensate for the engine damage but only for repair costs other than the engine.

What does 100h on a tire mean?

Tire 100h refers to the two parameters of the tire's load index and speed rating, where the numerical part represents the load index and the alphabetical part indicates the speed rating. The number 100 denotes a maximum load capacity of 800 kg at the rated speed, while the letter h signifies that the tire can support a maximum speed of 240 km/h under the rated load. When selecting the tire load index, it should be calculated based on 1.5 times the vehicle's total mass. For example: 100 represents a load index of 800 kg. A typical passenger car has 4 tires, multiplying by 4 gives 3200 kg. Calculating at 1.5 times, four tires with a load index of 100 can support a vehicle weighing below 2133 kg. The speed rating should be chosen according to actual conditions and the vehicle's performance parameters, and this index is unrelated to the number of tires.

How to Repair a Car Tire?

Methods for repairing a car tire: 1. Plugging with rubber strips: Use a specialized awl to insert a glue-coated rubber strip into the damaged area of the tire, leaving a portion outside; 2. Cold patch repair: After removing the tire, grind the inside of the damaged area, apply cold patch glue, let it dry slightly, then apply the cold patch. This method is suitable for common holes, but the hole in the tire remains, and water may seep in and damage the steel wires and fabric layers, making it unsuitable for larger holes; 3. Mushroom plug repair: Similar to the cold patch method, but while applying the patch, a rubber strip is inserted from the inside to the outside of the tire, completely sealing the hole. This method is not suitable for small holes; 4. Tire sealant: Tire sealant is a chemical agent used to automatically fill leaks in car tires. It can only automatically repair minor tread leaks and is an emergency method during travel.

What are the reasons for a car suddenly failing to start?

Reasons why a car suddenly fails to start: 1. The car is out of fuel; 2. The gear is not properly adjusted. For automatic transmission cars, the gear should be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting. If it is in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car may fail to start; 3. The steering wheel is locked. If the steering wheel is not straightened when parking and is at a slightly larger angle, the steering wheel will automatically lock. At this time, the key may not turn, preventing ignition. To unlock the steering wheel, turn the steering wheel forcefully while turning the key; 4. The fuel filter is clogged. Different degrees of clogging in the fuel filter can cause insufficient fuel supply, leading to poor fuel return, excessive fuel system pressure, and overly rich air-fuel mixture, resulting in the car failing to start or experiencing jerking while driving.
