N gear: When in D or R gear, push the gear lever in the opposite direction of the current gear until the "N" light comes on, at which point the neutral gear is engaged; D gear: Pull the gear lever backward once, all the way down, and the "D" light on the gear lever will come on. Classification: Automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Operation: Driving an automatic transmission vehicle using only the parking gear P, reverse gear R, neutral gear N, and drive gear D can fully meet the needs of general driving. However, if encountering some special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, if the correct control method is chosen, automatic transmission vehicles can perform better than manual transmission ones.

The gear positions of Hongqi automatic transmission vehicles usually include the standard ones like P, R, N, and D, with some high-end models equipped with S or L. The P gear is for parking; engage it when you turn off the engine or park for a long time to lock the transmission and prevent sliding. The R gear is the reverse gear; make sure to come to a complete stop before engaging it to avoid damage when reversing into a parking spot. The N gear is neutral, useful for short stops like at traffic lights or during towing. The D gear is the drive gear, used for normal driving to move forward. In Hongqi models like the H9, there might be an additional S (Sport) mode for quicker throttle response, making overtaking more exhilarating. Some models come with an L (Low) gear for engine braking when climbing steep slopes, ensuring safety and ease. Driving an automatic transmission smoothly is key: shift gears gently when starting, and engage P and apply the handbrake when parking to protect the machinery. In my daily driving experience, these gear layouts are user-friendly, but it's important to remember each position to avoid mistakes in a hurry.

What does RST mean on a car?

RST on a car stands for Reset. When the navigation system freezes, malfunctions, or needs to be restored to factory settings, the reset button can be used to reset the system to its factory defaults, allowing the navigation to function normally. The RST button is usually located on the front panel of the navigation unit, appearing as a small pinhole. When the device is powered on, inserting a toothpick into the hole and hearing a click will trigger a restart of the navigation system, effectively restoring it. This method is commonly used to resolve navigation issues unrelated to hardware damage. A common scenario that triggers a reset is when a connection request arrives at a destination port with no listening process. For UDP, if a datagram arrives at a port that is not in use, it will generate an ICMP port unreachable message, whereas TCP uses a reset.

Is it normal not to see the ground lines when reversing into a parking space?

It is abnormal not to see the ground lines when reversing into a parking space. The reasons may include improperly adjusted mirrors or insufficient height, which need to be addressed promptly. Otherwise, it will affect the effectiveness of reversing into the parking space. Examination standards for reversing into a parking space: Not following the prescribed route or sequence results in disqualification. Running over the lines or failing to fully enter the parking space results in disqualification. Exceeding 210 seconds to complete the maneuver results in disqualification. Stopping midway deducts 5 points each time. Characteristics of reversing into a parking space: Reversing into a parking space is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license, primarily assessing the driver's ability to operate the vehicle in a confined space. It is a key evaluation point in the driver's test, requiring the driver to correctly reverse the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion.

What is the distance to the yellow line when reversing into a parking space?

Generally, the distance between the car body and the sideline when reversing into a parking space is 1.5 meters. The lower edge of the rearview mirror should align with the ground yellow line when reversing into the parking space. The importance of the yellow line distance when reversing into a parking space: If it is too close, it is easy to hit the left corner of the parking space when entering, so the steering wheel should be turned to the right earlier. If it is too far, it is easy to hit the right corner of the parking space when entering, so the steering wheel should be turned to the right later. Methods to adjust the distance: By observing the outer quarter of the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, just seeing the sideline indicates a distance of 1.5 meters. During practice, adjustments should be made based on the height of the individual's seat. At the same time, correctly use the car's rearview mirror to continuously adjust the distance.

What is the reason for the reversing camera only showing guidelines without an image?

The reason for the reversing camera only showing guidelines without an image is a setting issue with the display. Here are the solutions: Adjust the settings: If the reversing camera only shows guidelines without an image, it indicates an abnormal display. Generally, there is a camera switch control in the display settings; simply toggle the switch to ON. Close the trunk: If the trunk is not properly closed, it may result in the reversing camera not displaying an image. Ensure the trunk is securely closed. Another common issue is wiring faults, which are the most frequent cause of no image. This is because the wiring harness for the reversing camera runs from the dashboard all the way to the trunk.

Is the Rearview Camera Covered Under the Three-Year Warranty?

Yes, the rearview camera is covered under the three-year warranty. If the rearview camera fails, you can use the car's rearview mirror for reversing. Parking Sensor: The car parking sensor, also known as the "reverse collision avoidance radar" or "parking assist device," mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. The primary function of the ultrasonic sensors is to emit and receive ultrasonic signals. Car Rearview Mirror: The car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the car's front and inside the car. They reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas. They act as a "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision.

Is it a problem if I hit someone else's car in a parking lot and left?

Leaving the scene after hitting someone else's car in a parking lot does have consequences. If the party involved in the traffic accident drives away from the scene, and there is evidence to prove that the party was unaware or could not have discovered the accident, then subjectively there is no intent to evade legal responsibility, and it cannot be determined as a hit-and-run. Conditions that constitute a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The party must be aware that a traffic accident has occurred at the time; the party must subjectively intend to evade legal responsibility; and the party must have already left the scene of the accident. Only when all three conditions are met can it be considered a hit-and-run. Penalties for a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that in cases where a party causes a traffic accident and flees the scene, the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and the party will be permanently prohibited from obtaining a motor vehicle driving license again.
