To ensure the hinges between the car door and the body remain smooth and silent, regularly apply lubricating oil every 2-3 months for maintenance. Open the car door to its maximum angle, then clean the grease and dirt from the surface of the door stopper arm, stopper pin shaft, and connecting bracket. Check if the car door seal is aging. Since the seal is made of rubber, it will gradually age and deteriorate over time.

I've also encountered the squeaking sound from car doors, which is usually caused by insufficient lubrication of the door hinges. It's quite easy to handle it yourself: buy a bottle of automotive-specific lubricant and spray it on the hinges and lock cylinder; make sure to clean off dust before spraying and avoid using too much grease to prevent staining the interior. If the noise is particularly noticeable when opening or closing the door, it might be due to aging weatherstripping rubbing against the body—try applying some lubricating paste with a cotton swab to see if it helps. Loose door hinges can also contribute to the problem; get an assistant to help adjust the door latch screws by gently pushing the door. If these methods don't work, don't hesitate—take it to a professional auto repair shop promptly to prevent the issue from worsening.

How Should a Large Crane Truck Park?

Align the large crane truck parallel to the adjacent vehicle, ensuring a distance of approximately 1 meter between them. After confirming the safety behind, reverse the vehicle in a straight line. Stop when the rear bumpers of both vehicles are aligned. Reverse to the target position. With the vehicle stationary, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Slightly release the brake pedal and utilize the semi-trailer dump truck's creeping function to continue reversing. Straighten the tires and continue reversing. With the vehicle stationary, turn the steering wheel back to straighten the tires. Slowly reverse in a straight line until the left rear wheel reaches the outer white line of the parking space. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and slowly reverse. Before the vehicle becomes parallel to the curb, turn the steering wheel back to straighten the vehicle and park it parallel to the curb.

What to Do When You Have 6 Points Left on Your Driver's License and Are About to Lose Another 6 Points?

If you accumulate 12 penalty points, you must report to the local traffic police department within 15 days of the violation. Failing to do so within this period will result in late fees. Penalties include warnings, fines, temporary suspension of the driver's license, revocation of the driver's license, cancellation of the driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for offenses that constitute a crime. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a single scoring cycle, in addition to retaking the traffic regulations and road driving tests, they must also pass an additional field driving test. If a driver accumulates 12 penalty points and, after being notified by the traffic police department, fails to take the required tests within three months without a valid reason, their motor vehicle driver's license will be revoked.

How to shift gears in a Mercedes-Benz S400L?

Mercedes-Benz uses a column shifter, which means the gear lever is located below the steering wheel. The column shifter is one of the gear lever arrangement forms in cars, where you pull the gear lever towards you to shift gears. The electronic shifter can only be operated when the key is in position 2 or the vehicle is started. Shifting gears allows the engine to operate at its optimal performance state. All driving conditions have corresponding shift points, aiming to reduce fuel consumption. The gear arrangement pattern is the same as that of a regular automatic transmission. Pulling it upwards sequentially engages N (Neutral) and R (Reverse) gears, pulling it downwards engages D (Drive) gear, and pressing the P button engages the P (Park) gear.

What to Do When the Windshield Becomes Blurry in the Rain?

First, check if there are any foreign objects stuck in the wiper blades. If present, remove them promptly, as they can significantly affect the wiping performance. If the angle is incorrect, the wiper blades may shake up and down during operation (due to uneven force distribution), impacting the wiping effect. Make slight adjustments to correct this. A layer of oil film on the windshield can cause the wiper blades to perform poorly. Use a glass cleaner as soon as possible to thoroughly remove the oil film from the glass. The wiper rubber blades may be dirty, possibly contaminated with oil, insect residue, or plant sap, leading to blurriness. Clean the wiper rubber blades and add windshield washer fluid.

How to shift gears in a Jaguar XEL?

When shifting gears, always remember the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting". During gear shifting, use the "double-clutching method". For upshifting, follow the principle of "press (clutch), shift (to neutral), press (clutch), shift (to higher gear)". Follow the principle of "press (clutch), shift (to neutral), release (clutch), rev (throttle), press (clutch), shift (to lower gear)". Press the clutch twice, and after the first clutch press, rev the engine in neutral briefly and hold for a moment.
