Correct parking method for automatic transmission cars is as follows: 1. When the car stops, first decelerate, press the brake, and shift into N gear. The reason for not directly shifting to P gear before turning off the engine is to avoid the transmission passing through R gear while the engine is running, thereby reducing an extra impact. 2. Turn off the engine. At this point, the power won't be cut off because P gear hasn't been engaged, and the key cannot be removed. 3. Pull up the handbrake and release the foot brake. You can feel the force has been applied to the handbrake. After the car is completely stationary, shift to P gear to prevent the force from acting on the P gear. 4. Cut off the power and remove the key. The parking process is now complete.

Is it necessary to upgrade from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels?

Modifying vehicle wheels to a larger size can affect the stability of the vehicle, so it is not necessary to upgrade from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels. Moreover, altering the wheel size of a vehicle is illegal. After modifying the wheels, it is mandatory to change to tires of the same type; otherwise, the vehicle will not be able to complete registration within the stipulated time. Points to note when changing wheels: You need to complete the registration procedures. Modifying the wheel size of a vehicle involves altering the vehicle's appearance data. Within ten days after the modification, you must bring the vehicle's license and registration certificate to the local vehicle management office to complete the registration procedures. Otherwise, it will be considered an illegal modification. If you switch to 18-inch wheels, it may cause the speedometer to display inaccurately because the vehicle's design and parameters have already been calibrated. Modifying the style and color of vehicle wheels is legal. Changing the style and color of the wheels will not affect the use of the original tires. You can safely modify and use them, and the vehicle can be driven on the road without any impact on the annual inspection.

What are the reasons for the failure of Volkswagen door window lift?

The reasons for the failure of Volkswagen door window lift include: 1. The lift function is turned off: Most modern cars are equipped with a function to independently control the window lift of the passenger side and the two rear doors. After pressing this function switch, the window lift switch on the door cannot be used to control the window. This switch is usually located on the driver's side door panel. 2. There are foreign objects or dirt in the window guide channel: Many higher-end models are equipped with an anti-pinch function for door windows. Foreign objects in the window guide channel, aging guide channel rubber, or excessive dust accumulation can trigger the anti-pinch function, preventing the window from rising. 3. Overheating of the window lift motor: The lifting and lowering of door windows are controlled by the lift motor. Frequent operation of the window can cause the lift motor to overheat, entering an overheat protection mode. At this time, the window lift function will temporarily fail until the motor temperature drops and returns to normal. 4. Faulty control switch: In older vehicles, due to frequent use of the lift function, control switch failures are common. Initially, it may require pressing harder to get a response, and eventually, it may fail completely.

Is It Normal for the Gear Lever to Make Noise When Braking in P Gear?

Normal. This is the operation of the transmission gear lock solenoid valve. When the brake is not pressed, it is in a locked state. When the brake is pressed, it unlocks, resulting in the sound of the solenoid valve. Below are specific reasons for abnormal noises when braking in a car: 1. Improper installation of brake pads: When installing new brake pads, if the old brake disc is not polished, it can lead to improper fit. Improper installation or installing new brake pads without polishing the old disc can cause the new pads to rub directly against the uneven surface of the old disc, eventually leading to uneven wear of the new brake pads. 2. Brake system malfunction: There may be defects in the brake system itself, causing the brake pads to only partially contact the brake disc. This increases the pressure per unit area on the brakes, resulting in abnormal noises. It is recommended to check components such as the caliper and guide pins. 3. Presence of foreign objects: Foreign objects can cause the contact surfaces to not fit properly, leading to abnormal noises.

How to Solve the Oil Burning Issue in Haval H7?

Haval H7 burns oil because the engine's lubricating oil film tends to break when the engine operates at extremely high speeds, leading to poor lubrication and dry friction in rotating parts. The solution is to ensure that the oil is filled according to specifications. If the oil level exceeds the midpoint, the excess oil should be extracted by the mechanic. Additionally, the oil level should be checked the next day before driving. Relevant information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of the lubricant.
