In a manual transmission car, the clutch must be depressed when braking. Beginners learning to drive in driving schools mostly practice with manual transmission vehicles, and instructors teach them to press the clutch first before applying the brakes. This ensures the car doesn't stall after coming to a stop. Additional Information: 1. Manual transmission, also known as MT, involves manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. 2. Working Principle: The pump wheel and turbine form a working pair, similar to two fans placed opposite each other. The wind from one fan drives the blades of the other, with the wind acting as the medium for kinetic energy transfer. If liquid replaces air as the medium for kinetic energy transfer, the pump wheel rotates the turbine through the liquid. By adding a guide wheel between the pump wheel and turbine, a speed difference can be achieved between them through reaction force, enabling variable speed and torque.

What is the average lifespan of a private car?

Private cars are generally considered scrapped after 15 years of use or when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. However, Chinese law does not mandate the compulsory scrapping of non-commercial household private cars. Vehicles that meet the annual inspection standards and continue to be used after reaching the scrapping criteria do not require approval. According to the latest "Regulations on the Compulsory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," Article 7, the state guides the scrapping of motor vehicles that have reached certain mileage thresholds, with the main classifications as follows: 1. Introduction One: Small and micro taxi passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized taxi passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large taxi passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers. 2. Introduction Two: Small and medium-sized coach passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large coach passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers. 3. Introduction Three: Other small and micro operational passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized operational passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large operational passenger cars at 800,000 kilometers. 4. Introduction Four: Small and micro non-operational passenger cars and large non-operational cars at 600,000 kilometers, medium-sized non-operational passenger cars at 500,000 kilometers, and large non-operational passenger cars at 600,000 kilometers.

Is Car Polishing Good?

If your vehicle requires polishing, it is essential to have it done at a professional maintenance shop, and it is recommended not to perform polishing too frequently. Vehicles driven outdoors for extended periods are exposed to wind and rain, inevitably leading to various damages that can make the surface appear dull. Proper polishing can help improve this condition. 1. Wash the entire vehicle: Use a high-detergent paint cleaner to wash the entire car. When applying the cleaner, avoid allowing particulate dust to cause new scratches during the grinding process. 2. Sand with water sandpaper: For defects such as coarse particles, fine sandpaper marks, or flow marks on the paint surface, gently sand the area with 600#~1000# water sandpaper wrapped around a small rubber block until smooth (be careful not to grind through the paint layer). 3. Coarse and fine grinding: Use a mechanical grinder (electric or pneumatic) with coarse polishing compound to grind away the marks left by the water sandpaper, followed by fine polishing with polishing compound. 4. Polishing: Use a mechanical polisher with a mirror-finish treatment agent to remove swirl marks left by the coarse polishing compound, achieving a mirror-like polish effect on the paint film. 5. Manual waxing: After grinding and polishing, clean off the polishing compound and immediately apply finishing wax with a cotton cloth to all polished areas. Then, use a dry cotton cloth to remove any excess wax, leaving the paint surface mirror-like and brilliantly shiny.

Why are the D and S gears placed together in Volkswagen?

Volkswagen places the D and S gears together to facilitate the driver's operation during the driving process. The D gear is the forward gear of the car, while the S gear is the sport mode. Having these two gears placed together provides convenience for the driver. The sport mode is different from other modes in the car; it uses a separate set of shifting logic to deliver a more aggressive driving experience, shifting at higher RPMs to maximize the engine's power limits. After engaging the sport mode, drivers can feel a noticeable increase in power. However, in this mode, the car's fuel consumption will rise, and comfort will also decrease.
