If you don't press the brake, you cannot shift directly into P gear. Forcing it into P gear can damage the car. Here is some related information about car gears: 1. Introduction One: Common gears in automatic transmission vehicles include R gear, N gear, D gear, and P gear, which are reverse gear, neutral gear, drive gear, and parking gear, respectively. 2. Introduction Two: R gear is used for reversing. N gear, commonly known as neutral, is used for short-distance, low-speed movement of the vehicle when it encounters an emergency and cannot move on its own, typically in towing situations. This gear can also be used for temporary stops, such as at traffic lights. 3. Introduction Three: D gear is the most commonly used gear for driving. If the vehicle you purchased is equipped with a brake throttle lock system on the transmission, you can only shift from N gear to P gear by pressing the brake.

How to Calculate the Vehicle Purchase Tax?

Taxable Amount = Taxable Price × Tax Rate. If the consumer purchases a domestic private vehicle, the taxable price is the sum of the customs duty-paid price, customs duty, and consumption tax. Since the purchase price on the special invoice for motor vehicle sales includes value-added tax, the taxable price for vehicle purchase tax = invoice price ÷ 1.17. Then, a 10% tax rate is applied to calculate the vehicle purchase tax.

Is it necessary to lift the wipers when it snows?

It is necessary to lift the wipers when it snows, as doing so prevents them from freezing to the windshield. The function of the wipers is to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, thereby improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. The steps to remove the wipers are as follows: 1. Fully lift the wipers and adjust the angle of the wiper blades; 2. Change the angle of the wiper blades so that they form a 90-degree angle with the wiper arm; 3. Once positioned correctly, begin the removal process by lifting the rubber blade, removing the entire wiper blade assembly, spreading the rubber blade horizontally, and pressing down on the main bracket to completely detach the wiper blade assembly.

What to Do When Fuel Consumption Increases After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

Due to the lack of related matching procedures after cleaning the throttle body, the vehicle will generally adapt gradually after driving for a period of time. For most fuel-injected vehicles, the simplest reset method after cleaning the throttle body is to disconnect the battery cable for more than 30 seconds. However, some models cannot be reset this way and require a visit to a 4S shop or a repair shop with a maintenance computer to perform the reset.

What to Do with the Gear When Waiting at a Red Light in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Shifting to neutral and applying the handbrake is suitable when the red light has just turned on or when there is still a long remaining time for the red light. Keeping the gear in D and stepping on the brake is suitable when there are only about ten seconds left for the red light or in stop-and-go traffic, as it allows for a timely start without frequent gear changes. If the red light duration is not particularly long, but if it is too long, then you should shift to neutral and apply the handbrake.
