Coasting in neutral gear can damage the transmission of an automatic transmission car. Additional information: 1. When an automatic transmission car is shifted into neutral gear while driving, the oil pump in the automatic transmission cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the temperature of internal components to rise and lead to complete damage. 2. Coasting in neutral gear refers to the operation method where the driver places the gear lever in the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, separating the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and using the vehicle's inertia to move. Coasting in neutral must be performed under the condition of ensuring safety and normal vehicle technical condition. It is not allowed to coast with the engine off, especially when going down steep or long slopes, coasting with the engine off or in neutral gear is prohibited.

What's the reason for the sunroof not opening and not responding?

First, check if the fuse of the electric sunroof has blown. If the fuse is intact, then inspect whether the sunroof switch is functioning properly. Press the switch to see if there is power coming through. If there is, proceed to check if the sunroof's drive motor is operational. Listen for any sound of the motor working. Additionally, if the sunroof doesn't close tightly, it might be due to obstructions or deformations in the sunroof's sliding tracks, rust, or insufficient lubrication. Sunroof maintenance methods are as follows: 1. Avoid excessive use of the sunroof: Although the sunroof is part of the car's windows, its mechanical structure differs from that of the side windows and is much more delicate, so it shouldn't be used too frequently. 2. Don't open the sunroof immediately in cold winter weather: In the extremely cold winters of northern regions, the edges of the sunroof may freeze overnight due to dew, making it temporarily impossible to open. In such cases, the owner should not attempt to open the sunroof right away, as accumulated snow in the sunroof's channels can increase the resistance to opening, and forcing the sunroof open could burn out the sunroof's motor.

How many points are deducted for making a U-turn over double yellow lines?

Making a U-turn over double solid lines is a traffic violation. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators will be fined 200 yuan and penalized with 3 demerit points. Generally, on long roads, solid white lines are present in the middle sections or before intersections. If the lines are yellow dashed or white dashed, U-turns are permitted. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited over any solid lines. Permissible U-turn situations: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, U-turns are allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. In the absence of a traffic light, U-turns can be made as long as they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs: U-turns are permitted where there are no explicit prohibitions. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs and the absence of solid lines in the middle of the road. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines, typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important entrances, or other designated areas, prohibit vehicles from stopping (including waiting at traffic lights). However, U-turns are allowed in these areas as long as there are no central barriers, effectively treating them as "U-turn permitted" zones. Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: If a U-turn traffic light is present, U-turns must comply with the light—green means go. Simultaneous presence of no-left-turn and U-turn permitted signs: U-turns are allowed even if left turns are prohibited, as "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn". Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings: U-turns are strictly prohibited over solid lines under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn spot. If a "No Left Turn" sign is present, U-turns are also prohibited at that intersection, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, as U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are not allowed from the second left-turn lane. Yield to oncoming traffic: Ensure U-turns do not interfere with straight-moving vehicles, or you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Lane arrows near stop lines indicate permissible movements. Not all leftmost lanes are for left turns; some may have straight arrows, prohibiting U-turns even without explicit signs. U-turns on crosswalks are prohibited and constitute a traffic violation.

Are steel wheels noisier than aluminum alloy wheels?

Aluminum alloy wheels produce less noise. Both steel and aluminum alloy wheels have their own advantages and disadvantages. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the wheel center through spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. The comparison between steel and aluminum alloy wheels is as follows: 1. Hardness: Compared to ordinary aluminum alloy wheels, steel wheels have better toughness but poorer hardness, while aluminum alloy wheels are the opposite, offering better hardness but poorer toughness. 2. Stability: Due to the materials and manufacturing processes, steel wheels exhibit poor stability at high speeds, whereas aluminum alloy wheels perform very well in terms of stability at high speeds. Additionally, aluminum alloy wheels are superior in terms of acceleration and heat dissipation.
