It is not advisable to shift into neutral gear while driving an automatic transmission car, as it can lead to insufficient lubrication and damage to the transmission. More details are as follows: 1. Automatic transmission cars have protective and interlock functions for dangerous actions. While you can freely switch between D (Drive) and N (Neutral) gears, switching from D to R (Reverse) or P (Park) incorrectly can be hazardous. 2. When parked on a steep slope where gravity exceeds the idle power, the vehicle may roll backward. In such cases, use the handbrake to start. 3. Prolonged coasting in neutral can cause insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the internal friction plates. 4. When parking or idling for an extended period, first press the brake pedal and shift into N (Neutral), engage the handbrake, and release the brake pedal. Once the vehicle is completely stationary, shift into P (Park).

How to Deduct Points for Vehicles Under a Company's Name?

For traffic violations involving company vehicles, the violator must personally bring their driver's license, vehicle registration, and ID to the traffic management department for processing. Below are detailed instructions for handling violations on company vehicles: 1. Binding Multiple Deductors: If a company vehicle accumulates excessive points that cannot be fully deducted by one driver's license, it is necessary to preemptively bind additional licenses. Only after binding can these licenses be used for point deduction. Each vehicle can be bound to a maximum of three driver's licenses. Binding requires in-person verification, which can be done at service windows or via the 12123 app. 2. Utilizing Rules Effectively: Leverage the issuance date of driver's licenses to deduct points twice within a year.

Fuel Consumption with Five Passengers vs. One Passenger in a Car

Fuel consumption is affected when a car carries five passengers versus one passenger. Below is a detailed explanation of the relationship between fuel consumption and vehicle weight: 1. Factors: A car's fuel consumption is related to its displacement, weight, aerodynamic drag, and other factors. 2. Displacement and vehicle weight are closely related: For the same model, with the same number of passengers and cargo, different displacements result in different fuel consumption. A lighter car with a smaller displacement tends to be more fuel-efficient. A heavier car with a smaller displacement may experience the 'small horse pulling a big cart' effect, leading to difficulty in acceleration and increased fuel consumption. For the same model with the same displacement, more passengers and cargo increase the vehicle's weight, resulting in higher fuel consumption.

Is it a traffic violation to turn left from the auxiliary road into the main road and proceed straight?

Turning left from the auxiliary road into the main road and proceeding straight is considered a traffic violation because it does not follow the road direction signs. Here is relevant information: 1. Road traffic signs: Road traffic signs are graphic symbols that display traffic regulations and road information. They provide a visual, concrete, and concise representation of traffic regulations and convey content that is difficult to describe in words. They are used to manage traffic, indicate driving directions, and ensure smooth road flow and driving safety. 2. Applicable scope: These signs apply to highways, urban roads, and all dedicated roads. They have the force of law and must be obeyed by both vehicles and pedestrians.

At what temperature does the EA888 engine's cooling fan activate?

Generally, the engine's radiator cooling fan starts operating at around 90 degrees Celsius. When the temperature reaches approximately 105 degrees, the fan begins running at high speed. For domestic vehicles, the fan typically activates between 93 to 95 degrees. The radiator fan automatically turns on only after the engine has been running for a certain period and the coolant temperature rises. Additional information about automotive electric fans includes: 1. Working principle: The electric fan is controlled by a thermostat - when coolant temperature reaches the upper limit, the thermostat powers on the fan which operates until temperature drops to the lower limit when the thermostat cuts power. 2. Operational requirements: The electric fan motor draws high current during operation, requiring higher-grade wiring.

What is the difference between tire 50 and 55?

The differences between tire 50 and 55 are as follows: 1. Different aspect ratios: The ratio of the sidewall height to the tread width for tire 50 is 50%; for tire 55, it is 55%. 2. Different applicability: Tire 55 offers better shock absorption and vibration damping, providing superior comfort and strong vehicle passability, but it has poor road feedback and weak lateral resistance during turns, resulting in inferior handling. Tire 50 provides better grip, clearer road feedback, stronger handling stability, and better acceleration performance, but its low aspect ratio leads to poorer comfort, making it more suitable for sports models. 3. Different speeds: Tire 50 rotates 484.63 times per kilometer traveled; tire 55 rotates 503.73 times per kilometer traveled.
