Accidentally engaging the P gear while driving can cause damage to the car. It may harm the locking mechanism inside the transmission and is also likely to damage the gear shift switch inside the gearbox. When the vehicle has not completely come to a stop, do not directly shift into P gear, as this can easily lead to damage to the pawl inside the transmission. Therefore, the vehicle must always be fully stopped before shifting into P gear. Working principle of the transmission P gear: The P gear and N gear operate on the same principle, both by disengaging the gears to block the transmission of power from the engine to the wheels. However, the P gear structurally includes an additional parking gear and pawl compared to the N gear. When shifted into P gear, the pawl tightly locks the gear on the output shaft, creating a mechanical lock, thereby securing the drive axle and fixing the stationary vehicle.

How many more years can a China 4 vehicle be driven?

As long as the vehicle is in good condition, a China 4 vehicle can be driven indefinitely, but some cities may impose driving restrictions on China 4 vehicles. Here are the relevant details: 1. Scrap deadline: There are clear regulations that do not set a scrap deadline for private passenger vehicles, only a guideline for scrapping after reaching 600,000 kilometers. Light and heavy trucks have a mandatory scrap period of 10 years, but this can be extended up to 5 years, meaning the maximum mandatory scrap period for China 4 trucks is 15 years. 2. Implementation time of China 4 emission standards: The China 4 emission standards were first implemented on July 1, 2010, and the nationwide implementation of China 5 standards began on July 1, 2017. Therefore, vehicles produced between 2011 and 2017 are mostly compliant with China 4 emission standards.

What Causes the Whining Noise When Accelerating with AC On?

Detailed explanations for the abnormal noise when accelerating with AC on are as follows: 1. Caused by compressor damage: The electromagnetic clutch of the AC compressor may be slipping, or the internal bearings of the compressor may have worn out due to prolonged use. 2. Due to previous collisions during daily vehicle use: Or during repairs when replacing components such as the electric fan, radiator, or condenser, mismatched part sizes, differences in rubber bushings, or improper alignment of the radiator and condenser frame may cause body resonance when the AC is on, leading to abnormal noise during acceleration. 3. Due to AC system pressure issues: A dirty radiator or condenser surface can reduce cooling efficiency, causing poor heat dissipation when the AC is on, which increases pressure in the pipes and results in the electric fan operating at high speed, producing noise. Alternatively, overcharging the system with refrigerant can cause the system pressure to rise when accelerating with AC on, leading to high-speed operation of the electric fan and abnormal noise.
