After starting an automatic transmission car, press the brake, shift to the forward drive D gear, and then release the brake to allow the car to move forward slowly. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position, to the power-on position, allowing the car's computer system to begin self-checking for at least 6 seconds or more; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N (if reversing, start directly in P gear); 3. Release the foot brake, turn the ignition key to the start position to ignite the engine (avoid sudden acceleration and braking in cold conditions); 4. Press the foot brake, release the handbrake, and shift the gear from N to D (if starting on a slope, to prevent rolling back, first shift from N to D, lightly press the accelerator, and slowly release the handbrake for a smooth start); 5. Slowly release the foot brake to start moving; 6. Then, based on road conditions, smoothly press the accelerator to increase speed and drive safely.

Can You Add Water When Coolant Is Low?

In emergency situations, you can add water when the coolant is low, but it's best to use soft water, also known as distilled water. Add it in moderation, as adding too much can alter the boiling and freezing points of the coolant. The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it has antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold weather, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. Antifreeze isn't just for winter use; it should be used year-round. As part of regular vehicle maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year. Antifreeze is a type of coolant with special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year.

Why Does a Car Stall When Wading Through Water?

When the water depth exceeds the exhaust pipe, the increased exhaust resistance makes it easier for the engine to stall if the throttle is too small and the engine speed is insufficient to counteract the exhaust resistance. Below are relevant details: 1. Impact: Problems arise when water reaches above the tire level. The biggest concern when wading through water is the potential damage to the engine and electrical systems. Water entering the engine's air intake directly affects the engine, and the electrical system is highly sensitive to water. Therefore, water levels must not exceed the tire height to prevent water from entering the cabin or the engine. 2. Precautions: If the vehicle stalls while wading, never attempt to restart it immediately. Forcing a restart can cause the engine to ingest more water, leading to severe engine damage.

What is the reason for the water temperature warning light to come on?

Water temperature warning light comes on due to: 1. Insufficient coolant in the vehicle; 2. Engine overheating issue. When the water temperature warning light activates, park the vehicle in a safe location and check if the coolant level is low. If it is insufficient, replenish it immediately while checking for any leakage problems. If leakage is detected, prompt repair is necessary. If the coolant level is adequate, the issue likely stems from engine overheating. In this case, contact professional maintenance personnel immediately for inspection to determine the cause of engine overheating and perform necessary repairs. Under no circumstances should you continue driving to prevent engine damage caused by excessive temperature.

What is the working principle of the ABS pump?

The working principle of the ABS pump is that when a large current is applied to the solenoid valve, the plunger moves to the upper end, the passage between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinder is cut off, and the wheel cylinder is connected to the hydraulic oil tank. The brake fluid in the wheel cylinder flows into the hydraulic oil tank, reducing the braking pressure. At the same time, the drive motor starts, driving the hydraulic pump to work, pressurizing the brake fluid that flows back to the hydraulic oil tank and delivering it to the master cylinder, preparing for the next braking cycle. The ABS pump is translated into Chinese as "Anti-lock Braking System" and, together with airbags and seat belts, is known as one of the three major inventions in automotive safety history. It is a vehicle safety control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock functions.

What does the National IV standard mean?

National IV standard refers to the fourth-phase national motor vehicle emission standard in China. The methods to check a vehicle's emission standard are: 1. Check the motor vehicle conformity certificate. Vehicles come with a conformity certificate upon leaving the factory, which clearly states the emission standard; 2. Refer to the vehicle's packing list, where the emission standard can be found in the vehicle information section; 3. Examine the conformity of production certificate, which includes exhaust emissions and indicates the corresponding emission standard; 4. Query on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website by entering the vehicle's VIN code and the last 6 digits of the engine number in the public query platform located at the bottom of the homepage; 5. Inspect the vehicle's environmental protection label. The back of the environmental protection label on the vehicle's front windshield clearly indicates the emission standard.

What are the reasons for the buzzing noise of the power steering pump?

Direction assistance pump buzzing reasons are: 1. The sound of the pressure limiting valve during operation, which is normal; 2. The filter screen is blocked, causing the pump to make noise. The oil pot with a filter screen will become clogged over time and needs to be cleaned; 3. There is a problem with the power steering oil pump, such as air intake in the power steering oil pump, leakage in the high-pressure oil pipe, or issues with the oil pot; 4. Lack of power steering fluid, simply add power steering fluid. The car power steering pump is very important for the driver to control the correct driving direction. If there is a problem with the power steering system, it will affect the driving direction and thus the entire driving safety. Car power steering pumps mainly use hydraulic power assistance, electric power assistance, steering electric power assistance, mechanical hydraulic power assistance, and electronic hydraulic power assistance.
