When making a right turn on an uphill section, it is essential to slow down and shift to first gear. Shifting to first gear is primarily for safety and also prepares for accelerating again after the turn. When starting the car on an uphill section: As long as the handbrake is firmly engaged, slowly release the clutch to the engagement point, then immediately hold the clutch steady and release the handbrake. This will prevent the car from rolling backward. When driving on a steep slope: You must select an appropriate gear based on the slope conditions to ensure the engine maintains sufficient power. Downshift quickly and avoid forcing the gear to prevent stalling. If you miss the shifting opportunity, you can skip gears to downshift. If you encounter difficulty shifting or the engine stalls, immediately use both the service brake and parking brake to stop the vehicle, then restart. When approaching the top of the slope: Be cautious of oncoming vehicles or pedestrians when nearing the top of the slope, as this area can create a blind spot for normal visibility and increase the risk of traffic accidents.

Will the Rear Bumper Rust if Not Repainted?

Not repainting the rear bumper will not cause the damage to spread. Rear bumper repainting procedure: For more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the decision to repaint depends on the location of the damage. Typically, bumpers, side mirrors, and some wheel arch parts are made of engineering plastic that won't rust, so repainting is optional based on owner preference. Before use, shake the touch-up paint pen thoroughly, then carefully apply along the scratch direction. After the touch-up area dries, apply fine wax. If the front bumper has collision-induced dents without paint peeling or chipping, visit a 4S shop for repair - each dent repair takes approximately 20-40 minutes. Bumper maintenance methods: Use a pressure washer and silicone remover to eliminate dust and stains from the vehicle body.

How to Control Braking for Beginners

Beginners can control braking with the following methods: 1. Emergency braking: Some older car models were not equipped with ABS, and slamming on the brakes at high speeds could cause wheel lock-up, so sudden braking should be avoided. Of course, modern vehicles are equipped with ABS technology, so in emergencies, don't hesitate—just stomp on the brake pedal fully. However, for the safety of drivers, such sudden braking should still be avoided. 2. Braking on curves: When navigating curves, avoid braking while turning the steering wheel, as this could lead to skidding if the speed is too high. Therefore, when entering a curve, avoid driving too fast—after all, safety ensures you get home. 3. Braking in rainy conditions: During rainy weather, the road becomes slippery, and the vehicle's braking distance increases significantly. The most important thing when driving in the rain is to control your speed and avoid sudden braking. Additionally, make early judgments to prevent the vehicle from skidding.
