Turn the key to the second position to allow the car's computer system to begin self-checking. Wait for at least 6 seconds, and after confirming that the dashboard is normal, start the ignition to power on the vehicle. Press down the foot brake, release the handbrake, shift the gear from P to D, and slowly release the foot brake to start the car. Depending on the road conditions, steadily press the accelerator to increase speed and drive safely. As a beginner, if you encounter any situation, promptly step on the brake (you can press it all the way down) to prevent accidents.

As a beginner driving an automatic transmission Leiling, I learned from a friend. The first step is to adjust the seat and mirrors after getting in the car to ensure clear visibility, then fasten the seatbelt. When starting, press the brake pedal and push the ignition button to start the engine. Remember to press the brake when shifting gears, otherwise the gear won't move; just shift from P to D, as the Leiling's gear lever operates very smoothly. While driving, gently release the brake, and the car will move slowly. Then press the accelerator slightly to speed up—don't stomp on it suddenly, as it might lurch forward and startle you. When turning or slowing down, ease off the accelerator early to let the speed drop naturally, then use the brake to control it. When parking, come to a complete stop first, shift to P, engage the electronic parking brake, and finally turn off the engine. Driving a Leiling automatic is really simple—just practice a few times to get the hang of it. The key is to stay relaxed, drive slowly, and prioritize safety. Beginners should avoid practicing in heavy traffic; instead, find an empty parking lot to repeatedly practice starting and stopping. Get familiar with the car's response before hitting the road. A fuel-saving tip is to accelerate smoothly and avoid sudden braking. Advanced features like the Leiling's adaptive cruise control should be tried only after gaining enough experience—don't experiment with them right away.

How often should a sedan be started if it is not driven for a long time?

A sedan that is parked for an extended period should be started every one to two weeks. After starting, engage the gear and drive a certain distance, which not only charges the battery but also checks for any abnormal phenomena in the engine. When a sedan is parked for a long time, only one point of the tire is in contact with the ground, which can easily lead to flat spots on the tire surface, shortening the tire's lifespan. Additionally, the oil in the engine and transmission cannot circulate, leading to oxidation and rust inside the components, which may require repair or replacement. Regularly starting the car and driving a short distance allows the oil to circulate and lubricate the internal components of the engine and transmission, preventing damage. Regularly starting a long-term parked sedan helps maintain the vehicle in good condition. If conditions do not permit, the car battery can be removed to prevent it from losing charge over time. Moreover, after starting the car, it is advisable to warm it up for about 10 minutes to ensure all engine components are adequately lubricated, avoiding damage caused by excessive friction.

Does a Dashboard Mat Affect Airbag Deployment?

The driver's airbag is typically located at the center of the steering wheel, so a dashboard mat does not interfere with its deployment. However, the passenger airbag is usually positioned above the glove compartment, which is precisely where the dashboard mat covers. In the event of a collision, this can significantly hinder the passenger airbag's deployment, posing a major safety hazard. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid covering the passenger side. Airbags deploy through pre-designed openings in the dashboard, and the mat may be flung outward upon deployment. At speeds of 60 km/h, this could potentially endanger occupants. A dashboard mat can also delay the airbag's deployment speed by milliseconds during a collision, which can be critical in determining the driver's survival. Additional information: The electronic control safety airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In automobile collisions, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.

Should You Use High Beams or Low Beams When Driving on the Highway at Night?

You should use high beams when driving on the highway at night. The faster the driving speed, the greater the requirement for the driver's visibility distance. Turning on the high beams allows the driver to see farther, preventing accidents caused by not seeing obstacles, pedestrians, or oncoming vehicles while driving at high speeds. Light selection on the highway: Under normal weather conditions, fog lights should not be turned on, whether during the day or at night. Additionally, when meeting oncoming vehicles on roads without dividers, you should slow down at a distance of about 150 meters and switch from high beams to low beams. If the oncoming vehicle does not switch to low beams, the driver should slow down and use the method of alternating between high and low beams to signal the oncoming driver. If the oncoming driver still does not switch lights, simply continue driving in your lane. Scenarios requiring high beams: When unfamiliar with the road and needing to read road signs or other indicators, high beams can be used but should quickly be switched back to low beams. When overtaking another vehicle, the left turn signal should be activated in advance, and the driver should alternate between high and low beams or use the horn to alert the vehicle ahead to yield.

What are the signs of poor tire grip?

Tire grip is primarily influenced by factors such as the tread pattern, tread depth, road surface conditions, and vehicle load. Weak adhesion between the tires and the road can lead to vehicle slippage. Improving grip can be achieved by increasing friction and expanding the contact area between the tires and the road. Below are specific methods to enhance tire grip: Increasing Friction: Enhance the road's friction coefficient, which refers to the road's ability to provide traction for the tires. A higher friction coefficient results in greater traction. Different road surfaces, such as asphalt, concrete, and gravel, have varying friction coefficients, each offering different levels of tire grip. Additionally, increasing the tire's own friction coefficient can be achieved by opting for softer tires. Softer tires provide stronger grip but tend to wear out faster. Expanding the Contact Area Between Tires and Road: The simplest method is to switch to wider tires. Another approach is to choose tires with fewer tread patterns, which increases the actual contact area between the tires and the ground. However, this may negatively affect grip performance on wet or slippery surfaces. Lastly, and most importantly, within a given contact area, optimizing tire pressure and precise suspension tuning can fully unleash the tire's potential.

Does disassembling and cleaning the engine affect it?

Disassembling and cleaning the engine generally does not affect it. In automotive maintenance projects, engine cleaning is also a routine maintenance item. If the engine has been experiencing high fuel consumption or running less smoothly recently, cleaning the engine can be considered. However, if the engine has been running smoothly with normal fuel consumption, there is no need to clean it. The reasons why a car's engine needs cleaning are as follows: 1. Sludge formation: When a car is running, engine oil is needed for cooling and lubrication. Over time, the oil undergoes high temperatures, oxidation, and high pressure inside the engine, leading to the formation of impurities and sludge. Poor-quality oil or incomplete combustion can easily result in a large amount of carbon deposits. 2. Sludge and carbon deposit accumulation: The accumulation of these impurities, such as sludge or carbon deposits, can affect the engine's efficiency, leading to a reduction in engine power. The most direct impact is an increase in fuel consumption. 3. Oil pump blockage: If left untreated for a long time, not only will fuel consumption increase, but sludge can even clog the oil pump, causing engine damage. Moreover, when using poor-quality oil, acidic substances containing sulfur and phosphorus may form, which can corrode and damage the engine, affecting its lifespan.

What is the replacement cycle for new car tires?

Under normal circumstances, the original tires can travel 60,000-80,000 kilometers or be used for 3-5 years. If driving for a long time on rugged and sandy roads, tires may need to be replaced before reaching 60,000 kilometers. At this point, due to severe tire wear, the tread friction coefficient decreases significantly, making it prone to slipping during continuous driving, which can lead to loss of vehicle control. Conditions requiring tire replacement: The lifespan of tires is related to many factors, such as vehicle model, load capacity, driving habits, and road conditions. Therefore, tires are equipped with wear indicators to determine their lifespan. This is a more economical and appropriate method to assess tire lifespan. Once the wear reaches or exceeds this indicator, the tire has reached the end of its lifecycle. Traction and friction will significantly decrease, affecting the car's braking and cornering performance. In such cases, the tires must be replaced. Another situation is that bulging tires should be replaced as much as possible. The structural integrity of a tire comes from its inner layers of nylon and steel wire interlaced fabric. When a tire is impacted by external forces, some of these fabric layers can be damaged. Without the restraint of these layers, the rubber tire body can easily bulge under high pressure. Such tires should be replaced as much as possible and can be used as spare tires.
