Parking a car differs slightly between automatic and manual transmission models. Manual transmission model: First, press the brake to slow the car down. Then, hold the brake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Engage the handbrake, shift the gear to neutral. Turn off the engine, exit the car, and lock the doors. Automatic transmission model: First, press the brake to slow the car down. Then, hold the brake to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Shift the gear to neutral, engage the handbrake, and finally shift the gear to P (Park). Turn off the engine, exit the car, and lock the doors. The front wheels of a car are steering wheels, meaning the rear wheels can only rotate around a point on the extension line of the rear axle. To park a car in a parking space, first position the rear wheels correctly. The front wheels can be approximately considered as capable of moving laterally, making the task straightforward.

How many bottles of fuel additive should be added each time?

Usually, the initial use requires 2 bottles, followed by 1 bottle for subsequent uses. Fuel additive usage: Fuel additives are unnecessary for new vehicles with less than 20,000 kilometers of mileage. For vehicles exceeding 20,000 kilometers, they should be added as needed, typically one small bottle per tank of fuel. Long-term use of fuel additives can be harmful to the engine. Excessive use can increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, and prolonged overuse may even lead to engine knocking, detonation, and worsened vehicle emissions. Precautions: New vehicles are not recommended for fuel additive use, as they have not been driven many kilometers and generally operate under good conditions, with minimal carbon deposits. Frequent use of fuel additives is not advisable, as it can lead to oil sludge, gum formation, and increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. Instead, additives should be used based on the vehicle's specific conditions. For severe carbon deposits, manual cleaning is still necessary. Fuel additives are not a miracle solution; vehicles with heavy carbon buildup require manual treatment, as additives cannot completely remove them. For older vehicles, the oil filter should be cleaned or replaced before adding fuel additives. Use fuel additives cautiously and rationally according to the vehicle's condition.

Does Only Capturing the Front Count as Driving Against Traffic?

Generally, driving against traffic requires capturing both the front and rear license plate numbers in two images to be considered a traffic violation. Principle of Capturing Driving Against Traffic: Typically, there are two vehicle detection loop sensors installed at the front and rear of the motor vehicle lane—Sensor 1 and Sensor 2. Normally, vehicles should pass Sensor 1 first, followed by Sensor 2, which does not trigger the electronic police to take photos. If a vehicle is driving against traffic, it will pass Sensor 2 first, then Sensor 1, reversing the normal sequence, which triggers the electronic police to capture images. Determination of Driving Against Traffic: On roads with solid dividing lines (double solid lines or single solid lines), vehicles must not cross the line under any circumstances. If a motor vehicle enters the opposite lane, it is considered driving against traffic. On roads with dashed dividing lines, vehicles may overtake by borrowing the opposite lane if it is safe, but in the event of an accident, the borrowing vehicle will be deemed to be driving against traffic. On roads with one-way signs, any motor vehicle entering is considered to be driving against traffic.

What Causes a Dash Cam to Suddenly Display Color Stripes?

Dash cams may suddenly display color stripes due to hardware issues or memory card problems. Hardware Issues: If the dash cam screen flickers with stripes (also known as screen distortion), first try pressing the reset button. If this doesn't resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem. This situation may arise due to quality issues with the dash cam itself, in which case repair or replacement is recommended. Another possible cause is incorrect light source frequency settings. The frequency should be adjusted according to the local power supply standards—generally, 50Hz for China and 60Hz for other countries. Memory Card Issues: Screen distortion can also be caused by problems with the memory card. If the memory card has slow read/write speeds and cannot keep up with the video processing speed, screen distortion may occur. It is advisable to purchase a memory card with faster read/write speeds, such as a Class 10 memory card.

What Are the Causes of Electric Vehicle Battery Degradation?

Electric vehicle battery degradation may be caused by increased internal resistance and battery management. Increased Internal Resistance: Internal resistance is an important parameter for measuring battery performance. However, since electric vehicles operate with higher currents, internal resistance has a greater impact on power batteries. It is also influenced by many factors, such as the battery's materials and manufacturing processes. Besides internal resistance, battery management is another key factor affecting battery performance. Good battery management can significantly reduce performance degradation and improve cell consistency. Correct Usage of Electric Vehicle Batteries: Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles do not require any special activation method; they naturally activate during use. Deliberately using the widely circulated "12-hour long initial charge activation" method is futile and ineffective. When the battery shows a low-power warning during operation, it should be charged as soon as possible. Not all claims about fully discharging the battery before charging or prolonged charging are correct—it depends on the battery type. Charging should follow standard time and procedures, even for the first three charges. With various lithium battery products on the market, it is advisable to choose high-quality, reputable brand batteries.

How much gear oil should be added to an 800W electric tricycle?

An 800W electric tricycle requires 250 milliliters of gear oil. Introduction to Gear Oil: Add 250 milliliters of gear oil. Gear oil primarily refers to the lubricating oil used in transmissions and rear axles. It differs from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance characteristics. Gear oil mainly serves to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and rust, and assist in heat dissipation for gears. Automotive gear oil is used in gear transmission mechanisms such as steering systems, transmissions, and drive axles. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubrication, anti-wear, cooling, heat dissipation, anti-corrosion, rust prevention, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise. Gear Oil Specifications: GL-1 is designated for automotive spiral bevel gears and worm-type drive axles under low tooth surface pressure and low sliding speed, as well as various manual transmissions. GL-2 is for automotive worm-type drive axles where GL-1 gear oil cannot meet the requirements due to load, temperature, and sliding speed conditions, and thus GL-2 grade gear oil is specified. GL-3 is for automotive manual transmissions and spiral bevel gear drive axles under relatively harsh sliding speed and load conditions, requiring GL-3 grade oil. GL-4 is specified for various gears operating under low-speed high-torque and high-speed low-torque conditions, especially hypoid gears in buses and other vehicles. GL-5 is designated for various gears operating under high-speed shock loads, high-speed low-torque, and low-speed conditions, particularly hypoid gears in buses and other vehicles. GL-6 is for gears in passenger cars and other vehicles operating under high-speed shock conditions, especially hypoid gears with large offsets exceeding 50nm or close to 25% of the large gear diameter, requiring GL-6 grade gear oil.

What is the reason for the one-touch window lift malfunction after replacing the battery?

The reason for the one-touch window lift malfunction after replacing the battery may be due to the driver-side window control lock being engaged or wiring issues. Solutions for the one-touch window lift malfunction: If the driver-side window control lock is engaged, press and hold the button to lower the window completely, hold for a few seconds, then raise the window to the top and hold for a few seconds. If it's a wiring issue, it's necessary to visit a 4S shop or a professional electrical repair shop for maintenance. After repeatedly raising and lowering the window several times, to prevent overheating and damage to the window lift motor, the window lift function may temporarily shut down for a few seconds. Other possible causes include an abnormal door control module, malfunctioning window lift control buttons, insufficient battery power, etc. After disconnecting and reconnecting the car battery, the automatic lift function of the power window may temporarily fail. How the window works: The working principle of the power window is shown in Figure 4. The front doors have a one-touch lift with anti-pinch function, so the BCM directly controls the front door switches and front door motors to achieve one-touch lift and anti-pinch control. The rear door motors do not have the one-touch lift with anti-pinch function, so they are not connected to the BCM. The driver-side switch on the left can not only control its own window lift but also the other three windows, and can lock the power window lifts, which is designed to facilitate the driver's overall control of the vehicle. The switches on the other three doors only have the function of controlling the window lift.
