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.

I remember feeling a bit nervous the first time I drove an automatic transmission Corolla, but the actual operation was much easier than a manual. After getting in the car, first make sure the gear is in P, press the brake to start the engine, and the dashboard lights up to indicate it's ready. Then shift to D gear, slowly release the brake to start, and the car will automatically move slowly. While driving, you only need to control the accelerator and brake, keeping a safe distance because beginners might react slower. The Corolla handles very responsively, with a light steering wheel, making it ideal for city commuting. When parking, press the brake to stop, shift back to P gear, and don't forget to engage the electronic handbrake before turning off the engine. As a beginner, practice reversing into parking spaces in an empty lot in the neighborhood—I often got the directions wrong at first but got better with practice. Driving an automatic is worry-free; the key is developing good habits, like regularly checking tire pressure and headlight conditions to avoid sudden stalls. A safety tip is to avoid distractions like using your phone, don't rush when starting, and shift to N at traffic lights to save fuel. Drive slowly a few times, and your confidence will grow.

When learning to drive an automatic transmission Levin, I think starting and stopping are key. Insert the key or press the start button, step on the brake and shift to D gear to start, gently press the accelerator without going too fast. During driving, avoid sudden braking as the Levin's automatic system can assist you a lot. For stopping, firmly press the brake, shift to P gear, pull the handbrake, and turn off the engine. As a beginner, don't be afraid to practice more.

What Type of Engine Oil is Best for the First Car Maintenance?

Every vehicle comes with a manufacturer-recommended standard original engine oil. If not specifically specified, using the original engine oil is sufficient for both the first maintenance and subsequent regular services. Types of engine oil: Mineral Oil: Mineral oil is directly refined from crude oil without the addition of other additives. It is suitable for low-displacement, non-turbocharged vehicles or those with infrequent usage, typically around 5,000 kilometers in half a year. If you don't drive often, mineral oil offers the best economic value. Semi-Synthetic Oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a blended product made by mixing mineral oil and full synthetic oil through a compounding process. It offers the best cost-performance ratio and is a great choice for drivers who frequently use their cars. Its oil change interval is around 7,500 kilometers, making it suitable for most vehicle models. Full Synthetic Oil: Full synthetic oil is more expensive compared to the previous two types but offers superior performance. Whether in terms of stability, lubrication, low-temperature performance, or cleanliness, it far outperforms mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil. Its replacement interval exceeds 10,000 kilometers, and many car owners experience noticeable performance improvements after switching to full synthetic oil.

Why does the screen go black when connecting Apple CarPlay to the car?

The main reasons for the black screen when connecting Apple CarPlay to the car are: In-vehicle computer crash: As modern cars have numerous electronic components, especially with the continuous updates of car connectivity systems, many vehicles' multimedia systems have become increasingly complex, leading to more frequent occurrences of dashboard screen malfunctions. You can try turning off and restarting the vehicle and its onboard computer to see if the screen display recovers. If the problem persists after repeated attempts, schedule a visit to a 4S shop for module inspection, software refresh, or repair. Connector detachment: Since many wiring connections use direct plug-in connectors, they may become detached or loose due to bumpy road conditions or original installation quality issues, resulting in dashboard screen failure. This can only be resolved by visiting a 4S shop or repair shop to disassemble the rear of the screen and securely reconnect the connectors.

Why does the steering wheel shake when the car reaches 100 km/h?

In most cases, steering wheel vibration at 100 km/h is caused by wheel dynamic balance issues. The solution is to add counterweights to the wheels while they are in motion to correct the balance at various edge points - this process is called dynamic balancing. Other possible causes include shock absorber failure, frame deformation, or excessive clearance between the driving and driven gears of the final drive. It is recommended that owners regularly perform dynamic balance checks on their wheels. The dynamic balancing procedure is as follows: 1. Remove the logo in the center of the hub, install the dynamic balancer for measurement, and input the data. 2. Measure the rim width and input the data. 3. According to the computer-calculated data, add appropriate dynamic balance weights to both the inner and outer sides of the rim. When the re-test meets the standard, the process is complete.

What does 3 years or 100,000 kilometers mean?

A three-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty means that if any non-human-induced issues arise with the vehicle within three years or 100,000 kilometers, the manufacturer will provide free repairs or replacements. After exceeding either the time or mileage limit, the vehicle will no longer be covered by the warranty. Warranty coverage: The scope and duration of the vehicle warranty do not apply uniformly to all components, meaning not all parts of the car will have the same warranty period. The benefits of car maintenance: 1. Keeps the vehicle in optimal technical condition, improving its operational readiness. 2. With proper usage, reduces the likelihood of breakdowns caused by mechanical failures, thereby enhancing transportation efficiency. 3. Prevents mechanical accidents and eliminates potential driving hazards. 4. Reduces fuel and lubricant consumption as well as tire wear. 5. Effectively controls vehicle noise and environmental pollution.

At What Water Level Does the Engine Risk Taking in Water?

When the water level reaches above 20 centimeters, there is a risk of water entering the engine. For ordinary sedans, when the water level exceeds 20 centimeters (for SUVs with higher ground clearance, this threshold increases to 30 centimeters), the engine is at risk of water ingress. Water can enter the engine primarily through two pathways: Low intake pipe entrance: Due to the low position of the engine's intake pipe entrance, water can be sucked into the engine when the vehicle is driving through flooded areas. Exhaust outlet below the waterline: If the exhaust pipe outlet is below the waterline, water can be drawn into the engine through the exhaust. Below is relevant information: After water enters the engine, it will inevitably stall: Since water entering the cylinders lacks lubricating properties, blindly restarting the engine after stalling may cause severe damage, such as cylinder scoring, leading to engine failure. The correct procedure is to push the vehicle to a higher, dry area, contact the insurance company, and then tow the car to a repair shop for inspection. Check the condition of all vehicle system fluids: This is to prevent issues like foaming or contamination of the engine oil, which can degrade its lubricating properties. Additionally, water may carry sand particles, causing excessive engine wear. Prompt cleaning and replacement are necessary. After inspection, clean the electrical connections in the engine compartment to prevent corrosion or sand residue caused by trapped moisture. Key areas to clean include: The fuse box, sensor connectors, and areas where water may accumulate in the vehicle body. After cleaning these components, conduct a road test, maintaining moderate to low speeds, and listen carefully for any abnormal engine noises. If significant noise is detected, inspect the engine bearings and rotating components again to ensure they are not damaged due to excessive wear.

What is the best way to clean spark plugs?

Spark plugs are best cleaned using carburetor cleaner. Carburetor cleaner is specifically designed for removing oil, grease, and carbon deposits, effectively cleaning carbon buildup without damaging the spark plugs. Spark plugs can also be cleaned with white vinegar, carburetor cleaner, or toilet cleaner. The cleaning methods for spark plugs are as follows: 1. White vinegar: Place the spark plug in a glass container, pour white vinegar until it covers the spark plug, soak for 2 to 3 hours, then scrub clean with a stiff toothbrush and let it air dry. 2. Carburetor cleaner: Place the spark plug head-down in a glass bottle, spray carburetor cleaner into the bottle until the spark plug is submerged, cover the bottle, wait for about half an hour, then remove it, scrub clean with a toothbrush, and let it air dry or use a hair dryer to dry it. 3. Toilet cleaner: Soak the spark plug's ignition electrode directly in pure toilet cleaner, place it in a ventilated environment for 10 minutes, remove it when the bubbles gradually decrease, rinse with white vinegar, and let it air dry.
