The method to switch from d1d2d3 to D gear is: while driving, release the accelerator and directly shift the gear to D. In automatic transmission models, D1, D2, and D3 gears are all forward gears like D gear. D1 gear is for uphill driving, with slower speed but higher torque; D3 gear is a high-speed gear, with faster speed but relatively lower torque; D2 gear serves as an intermediate transition between D1 and D3 gears. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles also have P, N, R, S, and L gears. P stands for Parking gear; N stands for Neutral gear; R stands for Reverse gear; S stands for Sport gear; and L stands for Low gear. The advantage of automatic transmission over manual transmission is that it does not require shifting gears while driving, making it easier to operate. Automatic transmissions also include continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear shift levers. There are three types of transmissions in the market: manual transmission, automatic transmission, and semi-automatic transmission.

I usually prefer to shift into D2 or D3 mode when driving on steep slopes or long downhill sections, as it enhances braking effectiveness by restricting the transmission from upshifting. When the road conditions level out and you need to switch back to the regular D mode, the operation is extremely simple: just gently push the gear lever from the D2 or D3 position back to D while the vehicle is moving—no need to press the brake or come to a stop. The speed doesn’t matter, as the electronic system will automatically adapt without any jerking or damage to the vehicle. D mode is the default driving setting, keeping the engine in an efficient and fuel-saving state. If you’re coming down from a mountain road and entering a highway, switching back immediately optimizes acceleration feel. During the shift, the dashboard will display the gear change as a reminder. Remember, these gears are designed for safety—D1/D2/D3 are only for specific conditions, and returning to D restores everyday convenience driving.

Which point on the wiper blade to look at for 30 centimeters?

For 30 centimeters, look at the position between the root of the right wiper blade and the washer nozzle. Other reference points for judging 30 centimeters: 1. Look at the engine hood: When one-third of the front of the car covers the right lane edge line, you can stop; 2. Look at the right door handle: Observe the right door handle through the right rearview mirror, and when it aligns with or just touches the roadside edge line, you can stop. Techniques for parking 30 centimeters from the edge: 1. Find the right position to start parking by looking at the one-third point of the car hood; 2. Observe the distance between the right side of the car body and the road edge, and make slight adjustments to the steering wheel from left to right; 3. When the right front door handle is about to align with the roadside, quickly straighten the car body; 4. Look at the right front door handle from the right rearview mirror, and when it is tangent to the edge line, stop, shift to neutral, pull the handbrake, release the clutch and brake, check the left rearview mirror to ensure safety, unbuckle the seatbelt, and exit the car.

What are the gears in an automatic transmission car?

Automatic transmission cars have gears such as R gear, P gear, D gear, N gear, L gear, and S gear. The R gear is used for reversing, also known as the reverse gear, and it's important to note that the car must come to a complete stop before engaging the R gear. The P gear is used for parking, meaning the engine stops working, hence many people refer to it as the parking gear. The D gear is primarily used for driving the car forward, known as the drive gear, and it's the basic gear for automatic transmission cars. The N gear is similar to the neutral gear in manual transmissions, with no difference in principle between the two. When driving and approaching a red light, the N gear can be used. The L gear is a low gear, typically used when going uphill or overtaking. The S gear is the sport mode, allowing free switching between all gears.

What does it mean when the ETC displays 'tag invalid'?

The ETC displays 'tag invalid' for two reasons: 1. The user has privately removed or moved the OBU device; 2. The ETC electronic tag has fallen off or become loose. By default, ETC is dedicated to a specific vehicle, and there is a protective interlock during installation. There is a push-button switch on the side that adheres to the car's front windshield. If this switch is triggered twice in a row, it will cause the ETC tag to become invalid. You can go to the bank branch where you applied for the ETC service or the highway service office to apply for a reset. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection system, which refers to automatic toll collection on highways or bridges. This system requires the installation of an onboard unit containing vehicle information on the vehicle.

Is the Vehicle Inspection Sticker Still Required?

Is the vehicle inspection sticker still required? Currently, there are no relevant policies indicating that the vehicle inspection sticker does not need to be displayed. According to regulations, the motor vehicle inspection compliance sticker and insurance sticker should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield. Failing to display the required vehicle stickers as stipulated is illegal and may result in penalty points and fines. If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the license plate, inspection compliance sticker, or insurance sticker, or if the driver fails to carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management authorities are required to impound the vehicle. If a vehicle lacks the compulsory traffic insurance sticker, annual inspection sticker, or green environmental protection sticker, traffic police will impose penalties in accordance with the law, and in severe cases, the vehicle may be impounded.

Is the Compulsory Traffic Insurance Label No Longer Required to Be Displayed?

If electronic insurance policies have been implemented locally, it is no longer necessary to display the compulsory traffic insurance label on the vehicle; if electronic policies have not yet been implemented, the compulsory traffic insurance label must still be displayed. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the inspection qualification label or insurance label, or does not carry the vehicle license or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, label, or complete the necessary procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with Article 90 of this Law (a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan). Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of vehicle seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses caused by accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits without any deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates compliant with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, not restricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, quick and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it; if a physical copy is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Easy management, with electronic unification making it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of each vehicle.
