Use N gear when stuck in traffic. Automatic transmission gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. Accidentally shifting from D gear to R gear or P gear while driving can be dangerous. However, you can freely switch between D gear and N gear, even while driving. Avoid coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission vehicle does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, which not only increases friction and reduces lubrication effectiveness but also damages the friction plates inside the automatic transmission.

What does it mean when one side of a traffic light is broken while the other side is working normally?

When encountering a situation where one side of a traffic light at an intersection is broken while the other side is functioning normally, you can judge based on other intersections. Wait until the green light for your intended direction of travel is illuminated before proceeding through the intersection. If you are unsure how to judge, first use your phone or dashcam to record the malfunctioning traffic light, then proceed through the intersection as if it were an uncontrolled intersection, ensuring safety and paying attention to vehicles on other roads. Relevant information about traffic lights is as follows: 1. Introduction: Traffic lights are signals that direct traffic flow, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. 2. Control methods: The most basic control method is fixed-time control for a single intersection. Line control and area control can also use fixed-time methods, known as static line control systems and static area control systems.

What Causes the Throttle Pedal to Vibrate?

The reason for throttle pedal vibration is that the car's throttle is too dirty or the fuel injectors have excessive carbon buildup. After prolonged driving, a dirty throttle can prevent it from closing properly, leading to excessively high idle speed in the car's engine. Excessive carbon buildup generated during the engine's operation can cause the engine throttle to vibrate, especially when starting the vehicle, where the engine often vibrates more severely. Methods to resolve throttle pedal vibration: 1. Clean the car's fuel system: Clean the car's throttle and check if it is clogged, inspect the fuel injectors for excessive carbon buildup; 2. Check the engine mounts: The engine is installed within the frame with a shock-absorbing component, which is the rubber mount; 3. Clean and change the transmission fluid: Cars should undergo regular maintenance, including changing the vehicle's fluids; 4. Check if the car's four-wheel alignment is accurate.

Why is the exhaust pipe noise loud when stepping on the accelerator?

Engine noise is directly related to the RPM (revolutions per minute). The higher the RPM, the louder the sound. When you step on the accelerator, the engine RPM increases, and consequently, the noise also becomes louder. Possible causes for this phenomenon include issues with the air filter, spark plugs, ignition wires, gasoline, fuel filter, carburetor, or fuel pump. You can systematically check these components to identify any problems. Here is some relevant information about the car's cabin air filter: 1. Introduction: The car cabin air filter is a specialized filter designed for air purification inside the vehicle compartment. It uses activated carbon composite filter material, which combines highly efficient adsorption material (activated carbon) with long-fiber non-woven fabric, resulting in a compact structure. 2. Function: It effectively filters smoke odors, pollen, dust, harmful gases, and various other odors. The filter also efficiently captures and adsorbs particulate impurities, achieving oil filtration and air purification performance.
