It is not mandatory to shift to neutral when parking a car. The parking methods are as follows: 1. For automatic transmission: Press the brake pedal to bring the car to a smooth stop, shift from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), engage the handbrake, press the brake pedal while shifting from N to P (Park), release the foot brake, press the one-button start/stop to turn off the power; 2. For manual transmission: Gently press the brake pedal to reduce speed, press the clutch, shift to neutral after coming to a complete stop, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine. Precautions for parking a car include: 1. Turn off all electrical equipment inside the car before shutting down the engine to prevent battery drain from prolonged use; 2. Choose a parking spot that does not obstruct others, affecting the next drive; 3. Use turn signals before parking and observe surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

Do I need a wheel alignment after replacing a new tire?

Replacing a new tire does not require a wheel alignment; only wheel balancing is necessary. Situations where a car needs a wheel alignment include: 1. When the vehicle's steering wheel feels heavy, shakes, pulls to one side, is misaligned, or does not return to center; 2. Issues with tire pressure and tread wear; 3. Wheel vibration or wobbling; 4. The vehicle pulling to one side. The benefits of wheel alignment are: 1. Enhanced driving comfort; 2. Increased tire lifespan; 3. Ensuring straight-line stability of the vehicle; 4. Reducing wear on chassis suspension components; 5. Improving driving safety. The working principle of wheel alignment is: Based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjustments are made to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability.

What Kind of Water Should Be Added to the Engine Radiator?

Under normal circumstances, the engine radiator should be filled with antifreeze coolant. Additional information: 1. Types of antifreeze coolant: Antifreeze coolant has rust-prevention properties and a low freezing point. The colder the region, the lower the freezing point of the antifreeze coolant should be. Tap water is prone to boiling, as its boiling point is lower than that of antifreeze coolant, which can lead to higher engine temperatures. 2. Reasons for using antifreeze coolant include: (1) Tap water causes more rust compared to antifreeze coolant. Although antifreeze coolant may still produce some rust over time, it does so at a much slower rate than tap water, which benefits the smooth flow in the engine's cooling passages. (2) If the region frequently experiences temperatures below zero degrees Celsius in winter, using antifreeze coolant can prevent the radiator from freezing overnight, especially when using high-quality antifreeze.

Does the steering wheel translate or rotate when a car is driving on the road?

Whether the steering wheel movement translates or rotates when a car is driving on the road depends on different situations: the steering wheel translates when the car is driving straight, and it rotates when the car is turning. The working principle of the steering wheel is: transmitting torque to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby pushing the wheels to turn left or right. The functions of the steering wheel are: 1. Controlling the driving direction of the car and steering the wheels to make the car drive straight or turn; 2. Helping to diagnose car faults. Precautions for using the steering wheel: 1. When the speed is high, the steering angle should be reduced; 2. When the middle part of the vehicle has passed the center line, the steering wheel should be straightened; 3. When the front of the car is aligned with the center line of the lane, the steering wheel should be straightened.

How long after vehicle painting can it be exposed to rain?

After vehicle painting, it can be exposed to rain in 1 to 3 days. The painting process is as follows: 1. Clean the vehicle thoroughly; 2. Dry off the moisture; 3. Spray the surface; 4. Sand and wipe clean; 5. Flame treatment; 6. Electrostatic dust removal; 7. Spray painting operation; 8. Spray gray primer; 9. Spray the pre-mixed color paint, followed by clear gloss paint, then polish after baking. Methods for maintaining car paint include: 1. Wash the car after the engine has cooled down; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Clean stains on the car body promptly; 4. Rinse with clean water after rain to prevent acid rain corrosion; 5. Apply wax or glaze coating.

Does the Prado 2700 have a differential lock?

The Prado 2700 does not come standard with a differential lock, but it can be installed. Below is an introduction to differential locks: 1. Differential locks are divided into manual mechanical differential locks (dog clutch type) and Eaton differential locks. 2. Manual mechanical differential locks (dog clutch type): Manual mechanical differential locks are simple in technology and low in production cost, and they remain the most reliable and effective equipment for improving a vehicle's off-road performance in the drivetrain. 3. Eaton differential locks: Eaton differential locks are also a type of mechanical differential lock. When there is a difference in traction between the two wheels, if the speed difference between the two wheels reaches a set value, the Eaton differential lock will automatically lock the differential, giving both wheels the same power to help the vehicle escape difficult situations.
