In a manual transmission, the handbrake should be released after shifting gears. The correct starting procedure for a manual transmission car is: 1. Fully depress the clutch pedal with your left foot; 2. Shift the gear lever into 1st gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal and sound the horn to alert vehicles and pedestrians in front and behind; 4. Release the handbrake and gently lift the clutch with your left foot; 5. Lightly press the accelerator with the ball of your right foot. The gears in a manual transmission car are: 1. 1st gear is the starting gear: used for vehicle starting; 2. 2nd gear is the passing gear: used for navigating complex road surfaces and handling complex situations; 3. 3rd gear is the transition gear: used for low-speed driving in urban roads; 4. 4th gear is the driving gear: used for prolonged high-speed driving; 5. 5th gear is the high-speed gear: used for long-distance highway driving.

The department will evaluate OEMs based on vehicle exhaust emission tests. If an OEM's vehicles fail to meet emission standards or are found to have engaged in cheating behavior, the OEM will be immediately penalized. China VI Emission Driver Alert System: China VI emission standards introduce a new requirement: vehicles must have a "Driver Alert System."

Why can't the key be sensed after applying film to the Mazda3 Axela?

After applying film to the Mazda3 Axela, the key may not be sensed due to interference from metallic film or water ingress into the sensor. Metallic film interference: Check if the glass film itself is causing interference. Some films contain metallic particles that can affect signal transmission. Water ingress into the sensor: Water may have entered the sensor during the film application process. Proper vehicle protection, especially waterproofing, is essential during film installation. If excessive water flows into the vehicle's dashboard, door panels, window switch components, etc., during cleaning and film application, it can lead to various unforeseen issues related to these parts. These situations should not be overlooked. Minor cases may resolve on their own after a few days, while more severe cases could damage vehicle components, causing unnecessary trouble.
