Do not use turn signals when parallel parking in reverse. Parallel parking tips: Maintain a 30 cm distance: Approach the car in front, keeping a distance of about 30 cm. Too far and you may not fit in, too close and you risk scratching the other car. Stop when your car's side mirrors align with those of the adjacent vehicle. If parking next to a large SUV, you may need to adjust your position slightly further back. Observe the left rearview mirror: Straighten the steering wheel when your car's edge aligns with the right edge of the car behind you. Then continue reversing straight back, making minor adjustments to your car's position as needed.

Why does the tire pressure alarm go off in winter?

Tire pressure alarm in winter may be caused by low tire pressure. It is recommended to check if there are any signs of air leakage in the tires. If the tire pressure is normal, then you should go to the service center to check the tire pressure sensor. Related explanations are as follows: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. In this case, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, only a new replacement part can be installed.

What is the maximum speed in first gear for a manual transmission?

Under normal conditions, the maximum speed of a manual transmission vehicle in first gear ranges from 15km/h to 40km/h. The top speed in first gear depends on the tuning of the transmission and the maximum engine RPM, so different vehicles may have varying maximum speeds in first gear. Additional information: Introduction to manual transmission gears: 1. First gear: Starting gear. It has a similar gear ratio to reverse gear and is not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the vehicle gains momentum. 2. Second gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling difficult situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3. Third gear: Transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. 4. Fourth gear: Cruising gear, mainly used for extended periods of high-speed and economical driving. Most vehicles achieve their most fuel-efficient speed in the low-speed range of fourth gear. 5. Fifth gear: High-speed gear, mainly used for long-distance highway driving.

How to Determine a Vehicle's Emission Standard from the Driving License?

To determine a vehicle's emission standard from the driving license, observe the vehicle model number starting with 'bh' on the license: a suffix of 'w' or 'x' indicates China III, 'y' indicates China IV, and 'v' indicates China V emission standards. Vehicle emission standards regulate the permissible levels of harmful gases emitted from automobiles, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and soot. Other methods to check a vehicle's emission standard include: 1. Review the Motor Vehicle Conformity Certificate: The vehicle's emission standard is clearly stated in the conformity certificate; 2. Check the Vehicle Delivery Checklist: The emission standard can be found in the vehicle information section; 3. Examine the Certificate of Conformity: The corresponding emission standard is indicated there; 4. Inspect the Vehicle's Environmental Protection Label: The back of the environmental protection label on the vehicle's front windshield clearly marks the vehicle's emission standard.

Is it harmful to the car if the front wheels are not straightened when parking?

Parking with the front wheels not straightened is harmful to the car, and the harms are: 1. It can damage the steering system, as the steering linkage cannot return to its original position and remains under stress, which accelerates aging over time; 2. It harms the suspension system, as the suspension system tilts in the direction the vehicle is turned, causing the soft-supporting rubber pads and rubber sleeves to constantly bear stress and wear out faster; 3. It accelerates wheel wear, as not straightening the wheels causes the sidewalls of the tires to bear greater stress and deform, speeding up wear on the tire sidewalls. The correct parking sequence: 1. Turn on the right or left turn signal; 2. Lightly press the brake to reduce speed, observe the right-side mirror, and drive to the right; 3. When the speed is low, press the clutch pedal, and pay attention to the surrounding distance when parking; 4. Once the car is completely stopped, shift to neutral, turn off the turn signal, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine.
