Automatic transmission cars should be parked in both P and N gears, just in a specific sequence. When parking an automatic transmission car, first press the foot brake to stop the vehicle, then shift the gear from D to N, engage the handbrake, turn off the engine, press the foot brake again, shift from N to P, release the foot brake, and finally turn off the power and remove the key. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What Causes a Blurry Rearview Camera?

The reasons for a blurry rearview camera: 1. Water vapor or mud on the camera: Sometimes, water vapor or mud on the camera can cause blurry imaging, which can be resolved by cleaning it; 2. Scratched rearview camera: This is an irreversible issue that cannot be repaired, and the camera must be replaced; 3. Poor-quality rearview camera: A problem with the accessory, where the camera's imaging effect is poor, requiring replacement with a better one; 4. Wiring issues: A common problem with a high failure rate. Since the wiring harness for the rearview camera runs from the dashboard to the trunk, the long wiring path makes it likely for a loose connection in the harness or plug, requiring thorough inspection. The rearview camera is also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or onboard monitoring system, widely used in various large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance.
