It is necessary to shift to P gear when parking for refueling. Below is an introduction to the P gear: 1. Principle: The P gear mechanically locks the output shaft of the transmission to secure the vehicle and prevent it from moving. 2. Vehicle parking sequence: After the vehicle comes to a complete stop on a level road, shift the gear from D to P, then engage the handbrake to complete the parking process before turning off the engine. 3. Safe parking: If you only apply the brakes without shifting to P gear, the vehicle may lose its intended braking capability. The safest and most secure practice is to shift to P gear after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Can a Car Engine Be Directly Washed with a Water Gun?

Can a car engine be directly washed with a water gun? The precautions for cleaning a car engine are as follows. Precautions for cleaning metal components: When cleaning the metal components on the engine surface, try to use paint polish and metal polish to clean the metal parts. Spray the engine exterior cleaner evenly on the wet engine and surrounding areas of the engine compartment for cleaning. Coating after cleaning the engine: After cleaning the exterior of the engine, ensure all moisture is completely removed before applying a gloss coating. If the coating is applied without removing the moisture on the component surfaces, the protective agent will evaporate along with the moisture underneath once it dries. Use a vacuum moisture dryer to remove moisture from hard-to-reach areas for thorough drying.

Does the car ESC button need to be turned on?

ESC system is enabled by default. It can be manually turned off. Keeping ESC on has no impact on normal driving. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function: The ESC system is an electronic vehicle stability control system and a driving safety supplement system that helps avoid hazards. During sharp turns or lane changes when the vehicle becomes highly unstable, it compensates for vehicle stability by applying wheel brakes or controlling engine torque. The ESC function automatically activates when your vehicle is in an extremely unstable condition. Under normal driving conditions, the ESC system does not operate. 2. Lateral stability: ESC primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure stable driving. For example, when a car oversteers during a left turn on slippery roads (causing the rear to slide out to the right, sensed by the sensors as too abrupt), ESC will quickly brake the right front wheel to restore traction, generating an opposing torque to keep the car in its original lane.
