After starting the car, wait for the temperature indicator to reach the middle position, then turn on the heater after about 8-15 minutes (some cars have a red heating mode, while others use a sun symbol), and set the AC to internal circulation. Do not turn on the A/C switch because the heater utilizes the car's own heat cycle. The direction of the warm air is generally toward the front and the feet. The specific steps are as follows: 1. After starting the car, wait about 8-15 minutes until the water temperature rises to the normal level, then you can turn on the heater. 2. Adjust the AC circulation mode to internal circulation. 3. Switch to the heating mode, which is indicated by a red zone in some cars and a sun symbol in others. 4. Do not turn on the AC (do not activate the A/C switch) because the heater uses the car's own heat cycle. 5. Adjust the AC to a suitable setting and direct the airflow from the vents. 6. The warm air is usually directed toward the front and feet, while the cold air is directed forward.

How to Open the UNIT Fuel Tank Cap?

This type of fuel tank cap switch is relatively rare and is usually found on some hardcore off-road vehicles. Nowadays, most family cars do not require a mechanical key to open the fuel tank cap. The in-car switch is currently the most common method to open the fuel tank door, which is certainly more convenient compared to using a key. The push-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient type. After parking the car, the fuel attendant can simply press to open it for refueling. After pulling the handle of the fuel tank cap, the cap will open. Inside the fuel tank cap, there is also a screw cap. By turning the cap counterclockwise, you can unscrew it.

What to Do When a Manual Transmission Car Stalls on the Highway?

If the car owner suddenly encounters a stall situation, it is best to skillfully use the half-brake technique to stabilize the car's direction and avoid collision with vehicles ahead. Modern cars generally have power-assisted vacuum brakes, so if the car stalls suddenly while driving, the owner should avoid slamming on the brakes. The owner should try to stay calm, pause briefly, and then attempt a second start. It is advisable for the owner to press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it, as releasing it would mean losing the last chance.

Is It Normal to Feel Slight Vibration in the Accelerator Pedal?

It is normal to feel slight vibration in the accelerator pedal. In some automatic transmission cars, when in D gear and stepping on the brake, both the accelerator and brake pedals may exhibit some vibration sensation. Minor vibrations are normal. However, if the vibration becomes noticeably strong or severe, it might be caused by a damaged engine mount. The car's engine is not directly connected to the frame; there are rubber engine mounts at the connection points between the engine and the frame. These mounts serve to absorb vibrations, preventing the engine's vibrations from being directly transmitted to the vehicle body. Rubber components can age over time, and when the rubber engine mounts age, they tend to harden.
