My Corolla runs smoothly, and the starting procedure is simple and intuitive: After getting in the car, sit firmly, fasten the seatbelt, make sure the gear is in park (P), and then firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot—this is crucial, don't let up. Reach out and press the start button on the right side of the steering wheel (or insert the key and turn it for older models), and the car will start humming immediately. After starting, don't rush to press the accelerator; first check the dashboard for any warning lights, and ensure the fuel level and coolant temperature are normal before gently moving off. The Corolla's starting system responds quickly and has a low failure rate—I rely on it for my daily commute. In winter, I usually wait a few seconds to warm up the engine to reduce wear; in summer, I pay attention to battery maintenance and regularly check the battery voltage to avoid starting issues due to low charge. The car also has a hybrid version, which starts more quietly and is eco-friendly. I've picked up many fuel-saving tips for city driving—just maintain the ignition components well.

What do the letters on a car's gear shift represent?

D stands for Drive, P stands for Parking, N stands for Neutral, R stands for Reverse, S stands for Sport, and L stands for Low or 1st gear. Below is relevant information: 1. P: Parking, meaning this gear is used when the car is parked. Note that the car must be completely stopped before shifting into this gear, otherwise it may damage the vehicle. R: Reverse, meaning this gear is used when backing up the car. 2. Neutral means this gear is used when the car is just started or during brief stops like waiting at traffic lights. The letter L on a car's gear shift represents "Low", which is the low-speed forward gear. At lower speeds, you can freely switch between D and L gears. When the transmission is in L gear, it can only stay in 1st or 2nd gear, thereby limiting the vehicle's speed. L gear is generally used for descending long slopes to prevent the vehicle from accelerating due to the slope.

Is it mandatory to purchase the first year insurance for a new car at a 4S store?

It is not mandatory to purchase the first year insurance for a new car at a 4S store. Car insurance can be reasonably purchased according to the owner's needs, either at the 4S store or elsewhere. Generally, if the car is purchased with a loan, the insurance needs to be bought at the store, and a certain renewal deposit will be charged. Considerations for new car insurance: 1. When purchasing car insurance for a new car, it is advisable to buy the no-deductible coverage for vehicle damage, third-party liability, and passenger liability. In the event of a traffic accident, many insurance types only cover 80% of the compensation. Without the no-deductible coverage, the remaining 20% must be borne by the owner. With the no-deductible coverage, the amount the owner needs to compensate will be lower. 2. Decide whether to notify the insurance company based on the severity of the accident. For minor scratches or dents, it is recommended that the owner handle it themselves. Notifying the insurance company may save costs at the time, but if the number of claims increases, the insurance premium for the second year will be higher than this year's. Attempting to avoid premium increases by switching insurance companies is currently not very hopeful, as insurance companies are interconnected and can check the vehicle's claim history. 3. Even if the car has not been involved in any accidents for a year, do not feel at a loss. If there are no claims in the first year, the insurance for the second year should still be purchased to avoid unexpected incidents and unnecessary losses.

How to Use M1 and M2 in Tiptronic Transmission?

Tiptronic transmission's M1 and M2 are generally used in situations such as uphill or downhill driving, traffic congestion, rainy days, or slippery roads due to snow and ice. In an automatic transmission, M1 and M2 are equivalent to the 1st and 2nd gears in a manual transmission. Use M1 or M2 gear to continue driving under the following circumstances: 1. When the vehicle is going up or down a steep slope, shift to M1 or M2 gear to control the speed using the engine's power. 2. During traffic congestion, engage M1 or M2 gear. If left in D gear, the transmission will continuously shift between speeds. By switching to M1 or M2, the transmission only shifts between 1st and 2nd gears, reducing wear and tear.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Shifting Gears?

Manual transmission cars require pressing the clutch. During the gear shifting process, if the clutch is not fully depressed, there will be a significant speed difference between the shifting gear set and the transmission gear set, making smooth engagement difficult. In mild cases, this can accelerate wear, while severe cases may lead to gear grinding and damage to the transmission. Here are the correct methods for using the clutch: 1. Correct posture for pressing the clutch. When pressing the clutch pedal, use the ball of your foot on the pedal with your heel touching the ground. When the clutch is fully depressed, keep your knee slightly bent. 2. Press the clutch all the way down. Avoid keeping the clutch engaged for too long and ensure it is fully disengaged. 3. Control the timing of clutch engagement. When driving, do not release the clutch too quickly or deliberately raise the engine speed too high, as this will accelerate clutch wear. 4. Shift gears only after fully depressing the clutch pedal. 5. When pressing the clutch pedal, the accelerator pedal should be released quickly.
