Temporary parking only requires shifting to N gear and pressing the brake. If the parking time is relatively long, you should shift to P gear. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about parking gears: 1. Temporary parking: When temporarily parking, it doesn't matter whether you shift to N gear and pull the handbrake or stay in D gear and press the brake—it mainly depends on personal habits. 2. Long-term parking: If the duration exceeds half a minute, such as at a red light, it's best to shift to N gear and pull the handbrake. However, do not shift the vehicle into P gear while waiting at a red light. The working principle of P gear is to use mechanical components to hook and lock the parking gear. If a rear-end collision occurs due to the following vehicle failing to control its speed properly, the transmission often suffers significant damage under the impact of strong external forces.

How to Determine Whether Tires Need Replacement

Methods to determine whether tires need replacement: You can use the coin test method. Insert a one-yuan coin vertically into the tire tread along the base of the chrysanthemum pattern. If the tread is extremely shallow and fully exposes the chrysanthemum pattern on the coin, it indicates severe tread wear with very shallow grooves, suggesting replacement is needed. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery, typically installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, and comfort.

What Causes the Engine Yellow Light to Appear on the Dashboard?

The reasons for the engine yellow light appearing on the dashboard are: 1. Sensor issues: When sensors such as water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which can trigger the engine fault light; 2. Maintenance issues: Irregular maintenance and poor driving habits can increase the burden on engine operation; 3. Fuel quality issues: The fuel added to the car has a specific grade, and failure to meet the required specifications can cause engine wear; 4. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: This can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking issues, which are detected by the engine's oxygen sensor; 5. False faults: Minor collisions during driving, tampering with certain engine connectors, or temporary signal interruptions in the ECU can cause the engine yellow light to illuminate.

Why is there one less rear seat belt buckle?

Because there is one hidden under the seat, which can be seen by lifting the seat. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Seat belts: Seat belts are safety components used in equipment. They are straps used to ensure safety when riding aircraft or other flying vehicles, working at heights, or performing stunts. The main materials are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. Seat belts do not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, seat belts are also assembled with other components. 2. Classification: Depending on the operation and wearing type, they can be divided into full-body harnesses and half-body harnesses. Full-body harnesses, where the belt wraps around the entire body, are equipped with multiple suspension points at the waist, chest, and back. Half-body harnesses, where the belt only wraps around half of the body (usually the lower half, but there are also chest harnesses for upper body protection).
