It is necessary to cover a new car with a car cover when parked outdoors, as it can prevent various accidents. During heavy rain or sandstorms, a car cover can protect the new car's paint from corrosion. Additionally, it can prevent scratches caused by mischievous children. When covering the car, it is best to wait until the vehicle has completely cooled down before proceeding. After the car is turned off following a drive, the temperature of the vehicle does not drop instantly. Covering the car immediately can cause localized temperature increases under the cover, leading to higher humidity and poor air circulation inside the cover. Functions of a car cover: Protection against harsh weather: The primary purpose of a car cover is to shield your beloved car from dust, intense sunlight, rain, corrosion, and more. It provides excellent protection for your vehicle. In case of bad weather, such as heavy rain or windy and sandy conditions, covering your car with a car cover can effectively prevent the harsh weather from corroding the car's paint. Preventing scratches from mischievous children: Another benefit is preventing scratches from mischievous children. When parking temporarily in a residential area or by the roadside, you might return to find the car covered in scratches, with the children already gone. This situation often requires checking surveillance footage or engaging in disputes, making it quite troublesome to resolve. Using a car cover can prevent such incidents, as children will only see a large piece of fabric rather than a beautifully styled car.

Should the parking brake be pulled up or released?

Parking brake should be pulled up. The hazards of forgetting to release the handbrake while driving are: 1. The brake pump cannot provide sufficient braking force, causing the engine to stall; 2. Accelerated wear of brake discs and hardening of brake pads due to friction heat; 3. Lengthening of the handbrake cable; 4. Potential leakage of brake cylinder oil leading to brake failure. The functions of handbrake are: 1. When parking, pulling up the handbrake keeps the vehicle stationary and prevents rollback that may cause traffic accidents; 2. During driving, pulling up the handbrake while turning can achieve a drifting effect; 3. In emergency situations, the handbrake can serve as a braking device.

What gear should an automatic car be in when going down a long slope?

When an automatic car is going down a long slope, it should be in D gear. The precautions for driving downhill are: 1. Reduce the speed before descending to enter the downhill section at a slow speed; 2. Shift into the appropriate gear before descending, and avoid shifting gears after entering the downhill section; 3. Never coast in neutral on a downhill slope; use the engine's braking effect to reduce the coasting speed; 4. Test the braking performance before descending, and address any issues before proceeding downhill; 5. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements on downhill sections; 6. Maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the vehicle ahead; 7. After descending, if there is an uphill section, release the brake pedal in time near the bottom of the slope and shift into a higher gear.

What is the M1 gear in a car?

Automatic transmission M gear is the manual mode, and M1 means first gear. The function and usage tips of M1 gear are as follows: Function of M1 gear: It can send shift-up and shift-down commands to the transmission computer, allowing the computer to control the transmission for shifting, simulating the feeling of manual shifting. The M gear is suitable for sports mode or when going downhill, but it is rarely used when going uphill or on slopes. Tips for using M gear: When descending a long slope, if driving an automatic transmission, the vehicle speed may uncontrollably increase, requiring timely braking while coasting. However, if you engage manual mode when going downhill and pull the gear lever backward to shift into a lower gear, you can effectively utilize engine braking to reduce speed. Upon reaching the bottom of the slope, you can quickly upshift or switch back to automatic mode, quickly resuming normal driving.
