You should press the clutch when starting the car, as this reduces the load on the engine and helps prolong its service life. If you don't press the clutch while starting, it increases the load on the starter motor, causing the battery to output a higher current, which affects the engine's ignition performance. Over time, this can cause certain damage to the vehicle. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly secured to the rear plane of the flywheel using screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission.

What is the original spark plug model for Dongfeng Peugeot 408?

Dongfeng Peugeot 408's original spark plug is NGKILZFR5B, and SUNIEDIRIT03 three-pin needle spark plugs can also be used. The spark plug is an important component of the gasoline engine ignition system, which introduces high voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and makes it jump across the electrode gap to generate sparks, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. The spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. The Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is the first model developed by Dongfeng Peugeot after introducing the EMP2 modular platform.

What does the 4S in a 4S store mean?

It refers to a four-in-one automobile sales department, which includes vehicle sales channels, retail parts sales, vehicle after-sales service, and comprehensive information feedback. The full name is Automobile Sales Service 4S Store, which emerged in 1998 and originated in Europe, offering relatively comprehensive services and strict management. Below is an introduction to 4S stores: 1. Business scope of 4S stores: In a region, there will be several 4S stores for a brand, mainly determined by the scale of the city. There is competition among each 4S store, even though they belong to the same brand. According to the current situation in China, standard 4S stores only exist in cities and above, while some county-level cities do not have automobile 4S stores. 2. Characteristics of 4S stores: They are established according to the manufacturer's unified standards, follow a uniform model, and are authorized by the manufacturer to sell only a single brand of vehicles. Within the price range allowed by the manufacturer, they attract customers with the lowest possible prices, reflect the brand's related value, and maintain the brand's reputation. However, it is important to correctly understand that 4S stores should not be regarded as automobile manufacturers.

Can you turn right when the straight arrow is red?

No. For arrow traffic lights, you can only turn right when the right-turn arrow is green, and you must be in the right-turn lane to do so. If you are in the straight lane, you cannot turn right regardless of whether the straight arrow is red or green. Below is some relevant information about turning at straight arrow signals: 1. Motor vehicle signals and non-motor vehicle signals: At intersections without non-motor vehicle signals or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signals. When the light is red, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not hinder the passage of released vehicles or pedestrians. 2. Right-turn lane signal settings at intersections: When the signal is a circular light, if there is no 'No right turn on red' sign at the intersection, you may turn right; if there is such a sign, right turns are prohibited. Check if there is a 'No right turn' sign at the intersection—if there is, you cannot turn right; if not, you may turn right. When the arrow is red, if there is a right-turn arrow signal, you can determine whether a right turn is allowed based on the color of the right-turn arrow light.
