First, remove the rear part of the central console handbrake by rotating it counterclockwise. Next, pry off the gear lever's decorative panel and then remove the dust cover of the gear lever. Remove the four self-tapping screws from the front part of the central console handbrake, then tighten the new gear knob by rotating it clockwise and adjust it to the correct position. If the decorative panel cannot be removed, try pulling the gear lever to its lowest position and remove the clip to take it out.

What Causes the Jerking Sensation After Braking to a Stop?

The reason for the jerking sensation after braking to a stop may be due to a damaged solenoid valve or sludge blockage in the transmission fluid. Below are relevant points to note when braking: 1. Point One: When braking, it is important to press the brake pedal gently and maintain braking force, then adjust the pressure based on the speed of the vehicle ahead. Provided there is sufficient braking distance, press the brake pedal slowly and continuously for a smooth deceleration. As the vehicle comes to a stop, gradually release the brake pedal until it is fully released when the vehicle is stationary. 2. Point Two: In emergency situations, it is necessary to press the brake pedal all the way down until the danger is averted. It is crucial to remain calm and avoid excessive nervousness that could lead to panic. At the same time, actions must be swift—press the brake pedal with full force.

Is One-Button Start Activated by Long Press?

One-button start is not activated by long press; it is triggered by a single press. Press the start button once to turn on the ACC light, then press the start button again, at which point the one-button start indicator turns green, and the vehicle begins self-inspection. After the self-inspection is complete, press the brake and press the one-button start button once more to start the vehicle. The one-button start system is part of a smart car's features, simplifying the ignition process with a single button that can also turn off the engine. This button mechanism serves as a backup in case the one-button start function fails, allowing for manual ignition. Vehicles equipped with one-button start typically do not require inserting a key, though they still have a key slot. In emergency situations while driving, the engine can be shut off by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively, switching the power to ACC mode.

What are the new regulations for vehicle annual inspection of cars over 15 years old in 2021?

The new regulation for vehicle annual inspection of cars over 15 years old in 2021 is to inspect them every six months. Details about the new regulations for vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. Non-commercial cars: Exempt from on-site inspection within 6 years, only need to apply for inspection marks every two years. 2. Commercial passenger vehicles: Inspect once a year within 5 years; inspect every 6 months if over 5 years. 3. Trucks: Inspect once a year within 10 years, and every 6 months if over 10 years. Information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Vehicle annual inspection: (or vehicle inspection), refers to the annual inspection of vehicles that have obtained official license plates and driving licenses, conducted according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". 2. Purpose: To check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, urge the strengthening of vehicle maintenance, keep the vehicle in good condition, and ensure driving safety.

Can You Still Drive When the Car Prompts an Oil Change?

You can still drive when the car prompts an oil change, but the specific situation is as follows: 1. Immediate Replacement: It is best to go to a repair shop immediately for an oil change. 2. Reminder Rules: Generally, the onboard computer in vehicles reminds you to change the oil based on mileage or oil usage time, which may have some margin of error. Information about engine oil is as follows: 1. Engine Oil: It is the lubricating oil used by the engine, composed of base oil and additives. 2. Function: With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil lubricates and reduces friction, assists in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and cushions shocks. It is known as the 'blood' of the car. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing new properties. Additives are an important part of lubricating oil.

Is 8L/100km Considered High Fuel Consumption?

It is considered relatively economical and reasonable. For urban driving, 8L/100km is fuel-efficient. Below is more information about fuel consumption: 1. Introduction: The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain speed on the road for 100 kilometers. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converting the measured values into speed parameters, and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the vehicle model at specified speeds. 2. The relationship between fuel consumption and displacement: Although fuel consumption is related to displacement, this relationship is not absolute. A larger cylinder volume (displacement) can hold more combustible mixture (air-fuel mixture), so under all other conditions being equal, an engine with a larger cylinder volume (displacement) will have better/higher power/fuel consumption.

Reasons Why the Brake Pedal of a Buick Becomes Hard to Press Down

Brakes suddenly becoming hard to press could be due to the driver stepping on the brakes several times after the engine is turned off, causing the vacuum in the brake booster pump to disappear, making it difficult to press the brake pedal without assistance. Here are some precautions for using brakes: 1. Avoid emergency braking at high speeds: While driving at low speeds, you can perform emergency braking by stepping hard on the brake pedal when encountering sudden events ahead, but this should not be done at high speeds to prevent the vehicle from skidding or rolling over. 2. Apply gradual braking: During normal driving conditions, apply gradual braking by releasing the accelerator pedal while pressing the clutch pedal, shifting to a lower gear, and then lifting the clutch pedal once the speed decreases, followed by pressing the brake pedal until the vehicle stops. 3. Use intermittent braking: On long downhill slopes in mountainous areas or in situations where continuous braking may generate high temperatures, intermittent braking by alternately pressing and releasing the brake pedal can effectively prevent the braking system from overheating.
