Correct method to start a dual-clutch transmission car: 1. When starting, make sure to press the brake pedal, then shift into N (Neutral) gear to start the engine. 2. After the engine starts, shift into D (Drive) gear, release the brake pedal, and gently press the accelerator to start moving. Additional information about dual-clutch transmission: 1. The dual-clutch transmission may exhibit noticeable jerking during start-up, which is caused by its structure and shift logic. To mitigate this, switch to manual mode during start-up to delay upshifting, effectively reducing the jerking sensation. 2. Correct method to park a dual-clutch transmission car: When parking, first press the brake pedal until the car comes to a complete stop, then shift into N (Neutral) gear, turn off the engine, and finally shift into P (Park) gear.

Will I be fined if one headlight is not working?

A headlight not working will result in a fine. For safe driving considerations, according to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Law, the penalty for incomplete vehicle lighting is a fine of 100 yuan and one demerit point. Methods for using vehicle lights: 1. In foggy weather, you must turn on the running lights and front and rear fog lights, and you can also turn on the low beams. 2. Running lights, also called width-indicator lights, are used to make the four corners of the vehicle visible to others. They should be turned on during rainy weather, in dim light, or in underground parking lots. 3. Turn signals are used to indicate that the vehicle needs to turn. In situations where the vehicle needs to turn, the turn signal must be activated in advance. Only after confirming there are no vehicles approaching from behind can you turn. Avoid turning immediately after signaling without checking the situation behind you.

Will driving straight over a solid white line result in demerit points?

Driving straight over a solid white line is strictly considered a violation of traffic rules, resulting in a fine of 100 yuan and a deduction of three points; crossing a dashed white line does not incur any penalty. The purpose of solid white lines is to separate lanes moving in the same direction, while single or double solid yellow lines prohibit vehicles from crossing or driving over them in both directions. Below is an introduction to lane demarcation lines: 1. Dashed white lines separate lanes moving in the same direction, allowing lane changes or overtaking when safe. 2. Solid white lines also separate lanes moving in the same direction but do not permit lane changes. 3. Solid yellow lines separate lanes moving in opposite directions and sometimes lanes moving in the same direction; they can serve as boundary lines or center lines, but lane changes are not allowed. 4. Dashed yellow lines can function as boundary lines or center lines.

What Causes the Noise at the Car Door?

The reasons for noise at the car door: 1. There may be small objects inside the door trim panel, such as lighters, coins, or other items. 2. The trim panel or audio system may be loose. This issue can usually be detected by shaking it with your hand. 3. The door hinge may be rusted. This noise is typically heard when opening or closing the door. Cleaning the hinge and applying some grease can solve the problem. 4. The door seal may have aged. Door seals that haven't been maintained for a long time often develop this issue. The best solution is to purchase a bottle of silicone grease and apply it evenly on the seal. After letting it absorb for about an hour, wipe it off for optimal results. 5. The door lock mechanism may have poor contact, gaps, or insufficient lubrication. Applying grease to the lock or wrapping waterproof tape around the lock pin a couple of times can resolve this issue.

What is the function of the throttle body?

The throttle body has many functions, mainly including the following aspects: automatically adjusting to correct the intake function; controlling the operation of the engine assembly (the idle switch inside the engine is working); controlling the flap, and through the operation of the sensor, regulating the amount of intake air to enhance power. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects to the air filter on the top and the engine block on the bottom, and is often referred to as the throat of the car engine. There are three main reasons why the throttle body becomes dirty: The air filter cannot completely filter out dust from the intake air, and the remaining dust enters the engine through the throttle body. The high airflow speed at the edges of the throttle valve plate generates static electricity due to air friction, which attracts and accumulates dust. The intake pipe of the crankcase ventilation system is connected in front of the throttle body. After the engine is turned off, oil vapor from the crankcase flows back through the pipe to the throttle body. When it encounters low temperatures, it condenses into oil droplets that adhere to the throttle body and valve plate, which also attract a large amount of dust. During engine operation, the late closing of the intake valve causes some of the mixture and exhaust gases to enter the intake manifold, which then flows back and contaminates the back of the throttle body. After the throttle body becomes dirty, the following symptoms may appear: unstable engine idle, persistently high engine RPM, difficulty starting the engine, especially cold starts; unstable or no idle; difficulty starting the engine; insufficient engine power, poor acceleration performance, and unstable operation; black smoke from the car's exhaust pipe and increased fuel consumption. Throttle body cleaning cycle: Generally, it is recommended to clean the throttle body every 20,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is used in an area with poor environmental quality and high levels of dust particles in the air, it is advisable to clean it 1,000 kilometers earlier. Avoid frequent cleaning of the throttle body, as excessive cleaning may cause damage to it.
