When waiting at a red light in an automatic transmission car, you should shift to N gear. The starting procedure for an automatic transmission car is: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and press the start button, the ACC light will turn on; 2. Press the start button again for the vehicle to perform a self-check; 3. Step on the brake and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 4. Step on the foot brake, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears are as follows: 1. P gear is the parking gear and starting gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. D gear is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear; 5. L gear is the low-speed gear; 6. S gear is the sport mode.

Is it recommended to get insurance for the first year of a new car?

Generally, it is not necessary to purchase full coverage insurance for the first year of a new car. You can choose appropriate commercial insurance based on your needs. In the event of a traffic accident, commercial insurance can help resolve the issue. Commercial insurance for motor vehicles is divided into compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, while commercial insurance can be selected based on the specific driving conditions of the vehicle. Commercial insurance for motor vehicles can be purchased up to three months in advance. It is essential to purchase car insurance ahead of time to avoid issues with insurance gaps. When purchasing compulsory traffic insurance for a motor vehicle, vehicle and vessel tax must also be paid simultaneously. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory for every vehicle. Compulsory traffic insurance is liability insurance for motor vehicle traffic accidents. Motor vehicles on the road must have this insurance; otherwise, it is considered a violation of regulations. Motor vehicles without compulsory traffic insurance will be impounded if found on the road, and the owner will be ordered to purchase the insurance immediately and fined double the amount of the compulsory traffic insurance premium before the vehicle is allowed to be released.

Can a motorcycle carry passengers after installing side cases?

Motorcycles can carry passengers after installing side cases. Steps for registering motorcycle side cases: If the motorcycle did not come with side cases when it left the factory and was initially registered, adding side cases later requires applying for registration with the vehicle management office according to regulations. Daily precautions for motorcycle use: Avoid leaving the motorcycle unused for extended periods as this can lead to battery drain. Fuel-injected motorcycles cannot operate properly without sufficient battery power. It's best to start the motorcycle every half month or charge the battery before starting. Do not start the engine immediately after unlocking. Fuel-injected motorcycles typically undergo a self-check process when unlocked; wait for this to complete before starting. When power is first applied, the fuel pump is still establishing constant pressure. Avoid aggressive acceleration immediately after starting, as this is harmful to the engine since it hasn't reached normal operating temperature and can accelerate engine wear.

Where is the coolant in Honda CR-V?

The coolant reservoir for Honda CR-V is located on the right side inside the engine compartment. Comprehensive Inspection: First, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any cracks or signs of leakage in the pipes, with special attention to the five-way pipe (named for its five connections to different parts). The coolant must flow through the five-way pipe before being distributed to various parts of the car to function effectively. Flushing the Fluid Channels: Drain the old coolant and flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir, allowing it to flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water coming out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Keep adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Don’t forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core.
