On the highway, it is recommended to use D gear. Automatic transmission vehicles have the following 5 types of gears: 1. P gear is the parking gear, used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, used when the vehicle is moving backward; 3. N gear is the neutral gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. S gear is the sport mode, making the vehicle drive more sportily; 5. M gear refers to the manual mode, where the driver manually completes the gear shifting when the gear lever is moved to M gear. There are 3 steps to reverse an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Press the brake to stop the vehicle, hold the lock switch on the gear lever, and shift to R gear; 2. Observe the rearview mirrors and reverse camera, confirm there are no obstacles behind the vehicle, and honk the horn twice to alert pedestrians and vehicles nearby; 3. Slowly release the brake to allow the vehicle to move at a low speed.

Will using 92 octane gasoline in a car designed for 95 octane have any impact on the vehicle?

Using 92 octane gasoline in a car designed for 95 octane will have an impact, as the engine compression ratios for these two fuels are different. 95 octane gasoline is suitable for vehicles with higher engine compression ratios. If such a vehicle uses 92 octane gasoline, it may cause engine knocking. It is best to use the gasoline that matches your car's requirements. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 65% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. From a chemical composition perspective, a higher isooctane content indicates better anti-knock performance. Therefore, the main difference between 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline lies in their anti-knock properties. Note that if a car that normally uses 95 octane gasoline occasionally uses 92 octane, it may be acceptable once or twice. However, prolonged mixed usage can lead to engine knocking, resulting in weak engine power output and loud, metallic knocking sounds during driving. In such cases, the engine condition should be checked immediately. Additionally, using 92 octane gasoline in a car designed for 95 octane can increase carbon deposits in the engine. Under the same conditions, 92 octane gasoline produces 0.0154g of carbon deposits, while 95 octane gasoline produces 0.0117g. Although the difference is only 0.0037g, prolonged use can lead to increased carbon deposits. Moreover, the engine is not optimized for different octane ratings, and severe cases may even clog the fuel system.
