How Long Should a New Car Cool Down After Stopping?

Introduction to the cooling time after stopping a new car: After stopping, if the car has been driven at high speeds or over long distances, it is necessary to let it idle for three minutes to cool down. For short trips or city driving, there is no need to deliberately idle for cooling, as idling can actually increase the oil temperature, which is not conducive to cooling. Below is relevant information about parking a car: 1. Parking after reaching the destination usually involves a long parking duration. Before parking, always ensure the steering wheel is straightened, placing the front wheels in a straight driving position. For manual transmission cars, after parking as described above, to assist the parking brake, you can shift the gear lever into 1st gear or reverse gear, then release the seat belt, remove the car key, check the road conditions on both sides of the car before exiting and lock the doors. 2. For automatic transmission cars, after stopping, continue to press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever to P (Park), engage the handbrake, and then release the brake pedal. Close all windows, turn off all lights and dashboard lights, shut off the engine, release the seat belt, remove the car key, check the road conditions on both sides of the car before exiting and lock the doors.

Where is the spare key for a general car?

The spare key for a car is located inside a small shelf on the top of the vehicle. You need to find a rectangular small hole at the end of the car handle, pull the handle outward, insert the spare key into the rectangular hole, and remove the plug cover. Below is an introduction about car keys: 1. Basic principle: A weak radio wave is emitted from the owner, received by the car antenna, the signal code is identified by the electronic controller ECU, and then the actuator (motor or electromagnetic manager coil) of the system performs the action of opening/closing the lock. 2. Composition: This system mainly consists of two parts: the transmitter and the receiver.

Where is the ESP switch located in a car?

Most cars have the ESP switch on the center console to the left of the steering wheel, while some vehicles place it near the gear shift lever on the center console. The location of the ESP switch varies depending on the car model. More information about ESP is as follows: 1. ESP stands for the Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety feature that is enabled by default and generally does not need to be turned off. 2. The full name of ESP is Electronic Stability Program, often referred to as the Electronic Stability Control System. 3. ESP is an extension of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) functions, and it is also part of the vehicle's active safety system. ESP mainly consists of three components: sensors, actuators, and the Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

Why is there a hump in the rear seat?

The reasons for the rear seat hump are as follows: 1. To increase the height between the car chassis and the ground. The chassis of a family car cannot be too close to the ground, as it would threaten driving safety. Early German car manufacturing used a beam structure, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the car body during collisions, thereby protecting passengers inside. Due to the nature of the beam structure, the middle of the rear seat has a hump. 2. To accommodate the exhaust pipe and drive shaft, the rear seat of a car needs to have a certain hump. Most family cars are front-wheel drive and lack a drive shaft mechanism, so some cars do not have a hump in the middle of the rear seat. However, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles must use a drive shaft to power the rear axle, and the exhaust pipe also needs to pass through the middle of the chassis. A groove is designed to accommodate the drive shaft and exhaust pipe, which strengthens the chassis's rigidity and improves the overall safety of the vehicle. The hump in the middle of the rear seat makes the car's layout more reasonable and the chassis safer.

Should You Shift Gear or Release the Handbrake First When Driving?

When driving, you should shift into gear before releasing the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling forward or backward. Below is the correct driving procedure: 1. Insert the key, turn on the ignition, and start the car; 2. Fully depress the clutch with one foot and press the accelerator with the other, then shift into gear; 3. Release the handbrake, gently press the accelerator, and begin driving. Here is some related information about the handbrake: 1. The technical term for the handbrake is the auxiliary brake. Unlike the main braking system, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation, which is irreversible. This reduces its effectiveness over time and increases the handbrake's travel distance. 2. The handbrake system also includes a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring stretches; when released, the spring returns to its original length. With prolonged use, the spring can also undergo deformation.
