P stands for Parking gear, used when parking (when turning off the engine and during prolonged idling). R stands for Reverse gear. In this gear, the transmission will automatically switch between gears 1 to 5 based on speed and throttle conditions. S stands for Sport mode. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing will be delayed. It should mean the same as the 1 in the new Accord. In this gear, the transmission will stay in 1st gear without upshifting. The snowflake button is for starting on slippery roads. When this button is pressed, the vehicle will start from 2nd gear instead of 1st gear.

Is towing allowed on highways?

On highways, towing is only permitted for rescue vehicles, while regular vehicles are not allowed to tow. Rescue vehicles typically refer to flatbed tow trucks. When driving on highways, it is essential to adhere to speed limits. The driving speed must not fall below the minimum limit nor exceed the maximum limit. Driving too slowly on highways may lead to severe rear-end collisions, while speeding can also cause serious traffic accidents. Additionally, vehicle stability may be compromised at excessively high speeds. Before entering a highway, always check the tire pressure and inspect the tire surfaces for any damage. While driving on highways, maintain a sufficient safe distance from the vehicle ahead, increasing this distance as your speed rises. During nighttime highway driving, high beams can be used since highways have central dividers that prevent the lights from affecting oncoming drivers' visibility. However, if you are close to the vehicle in front, it is advisable to switch off high beams to avoid impairing the leading driver's vision.

How many types of steering wheel covers are there?

There are 2 types of steering wheel covers, which are divided into hand-sewn steering wheel covers and no-sew steering wheel covers. Classification of steering wheel covers: There are two types: ordinary steering wheel and sports steering wheel. The materials of ordinary steering wheels are mainly plastic, leather, and mahogany; while the sports version of the steering wheel is made of genuine leather and reverse leather, which is of better quality; genuine leather is best cleaned with special leather care solution, and heavily soiled ones can also be washed with foam and then rinsed with clean water. Benefits of changing to genuine leather: If the original steering wheel does not come with genuine leather and the grip feels unsatisfactory, you can choose to cover your steering wheel with a steering wheel cover. This helps improve the tactile feel when your palm comes into contact with the steering wheel and reduces wear on the car's steering wheel. When purchasing a steering wheel cover, you also need to pay attention to a few issues, otherwise it may affect driving safety.

How to Perform a Launch Control Start in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Here is the relevant introduction to launch control start: 1. Launch control start is a very cool operation that allows the car to obtain maximum torque at the moment of starting, enabling it to shoot out like a bullet. In many racing events, launch control start is a must-use technique for race cars. 2. The wear and tear on the engine and transmission from launch control starts are much higher than from normal driving, so many manufacturers impose limits on the number of launch control starts. 3. Shift the transmission to manual mode to lock the gear in first. Utilizing the largest gear ratio of the first gear maximizes the torque output from the engine, thereby achieving the strongest launch control torque. 4. Press the brake pedal all the way down. 5. Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. 6. Use cruise control to adjust the RPM—up to increase and down to decrease—to control the maximum engine RPM when the accelerator is fully pressed. 7. Release the brake immediately once the engine reaches the preset maximum RPM, and the car will launch forward.
