For long-term parking, use P gear, while for short-term parking, N gear can be used. Automatic transmissions include P, R, N, and D gears. The relevant details are as follows: 1. P—Parking gear, also known as the start gear: When the vehicle is parked and not in use, placing the gear in this position mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling. 2. R—Reverse gear: Used for reversing the vehicle. 3. N—Neutral gear: Used for temporary parking (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear is neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be applied. 4. D—Drive gear, also known as the driving gear: Used for moving forward.

What's the matter if the clutch pedal breaks?

The clutch pedal breaking means the clutch cable has snapped. The correct method of operating the clutch is as follows: 1. Quickly lift the pedal at the beginning of the release, then slow down the lifting speed when the clutch reaches the semi-engagement point. 2. Gradually lift the pedal during the process from engagement to full connection. 3. While lifting the clutch pedal, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine resistance to ensure a smooth start. 4. The clutch pedal should be controlled with the ball of the foot, keeping the heel on the ground when pressing the pedal. 5. When the clutch is fully depressed, the knee should remain slightly bent. Never use the toes to press the pedal or lift the heel off the ground to avoid insufficient force or slipping.

Why is it called Chery Land Rover?

It is mainly because Land Rover recognized the huge demand in the Chinese market and needed localization to meet such massive requirements. The Chinese government has protective policies for domestic automakers, requiring all foreign brands seeking localization to partner with domestic brands for factory establishment in China. Below is an introduction to Chery Land Rover: 1. Since their collaboration, Land Rover and Chery have jointly launched two models: the Chery Land Rover Evoque and the Chery Land Rover Discovery Sport. Externally, these Chery Land Rover models show minimal differences from standard Land Rovers, featuring only an additional Chery Land Rover badge at the rear. 2. For Chery, partnering with Land Rover brings no disadvantages—it gains technological insights and enhances brand value. For Land Rover, however, the situation is the opposite; Chery could potentially dilute its brand prestige, and prior to this collaboration, Chery had no experience partnering with other brands. Nevertheless, Chery is a state-owned enterprise with solid background and resources. 3. Starting from the second half of 2018, Land Rover faced a crisis. Except for February during the Spring Festival, Land Rover's monthly sales in the first half of 2018 hovered around 4,500 units, but from June onward, sales plummeted to approximately 2,000 units per month. Facing this downturn, Land Rover must respond proactively, as a portion of its global sales relies on the Chinese market.

Can the Car Fuel Tank Be Filled Up in Summer?

It is not recommended to fill the car fuel tank to the brim in summer. If gasoline is filled too full, it can easily overflow from the vent hole, especially when driving in the high temperatures of summer. In such cases, if the spilled gasoline is exposed to high heat, it can pose a fire hazard. On the other hand, overfilling the tank can also easily cause the fuel tank vent hole to become blocked. More details are as follows: 1. If the vent hole is blocked, as the fuel level drops while driving, negative pressure will form inside the tank, which can easily lead to vapor lock in the fuel pump, resulting in poor fuel supply or even a complete lack of fuel supply. This can even threaten life safety. 2. When refueling, be careful not to overfill the tank. If the vehicle's fuel tank is overfilled (to the point where fuel is visible at the tank opening), the tank's vent outlet may become submerged in gasoline. This means liquid gasoline, rather than gasoline vapor, enters the charcoal canister, causing damage to it. Maintenance tips: Regularly inspect and replace the charcoal canister and its filter. 3. If the charcoal canister and its filter are not replaced in time, aging can lead to blockages in the charcoal canister or its filter. This can result in insufficient ventilation in the fuel tank, causing poor refueling and a suction sound at the fuel filler neck during idle. Therefore, to maintain vehicle stability, it is important to promptly replace both the charcoal canister and its filter.

Why Do Brake Pads Make Noise When It Rains?

There are several reasons why brake pads may make noise when it rains: 1. Fine sand brought up by rainwater can adhere between the brake pads and brake discs. This situation does not require repair; simply driving for a while to let the sand fall out will suffice. 2. Break-in period for new cars. Brake pads and brake discs need to go through a break-in period to better fit together. 3. Missing or damaged fixing screws for the brake pads. Check whether the fixing screws for the brake discs are missing or damaged, and repair or replace them promptly if found to avoid accidents. 4. Brake system malfunction. Check if the brake system is malfunctioning and repair it promptly.

Why Has the Car Horn Changed Its Sound?

There are two possible scenarios when a car horn changes its sound: 1. The change in sound is caused by issues with the horn itself, poor contact at the horn switch, or insufficient wiring harness. 2. The change in sound is due to insufficient air caused by internal frost buildup in the air pipe. Introduction to Car Horns: 1. How a car horn works. When the horn button on the steering wheel or another location is pressed, current from the battery flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. The current activates the electromagnet inside the horn, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound.
