The correct steps for starting an automatic transmission car are: 1. Press the brake and shift to N gear, then start the car; 2. Shift from N gear to D gear; 3. Release the handbrake, then lift your foot off the brake pedal to start moving. The steps for parking are: 1. When parking, first press the brake, then firmly pull the handbrake; 2. Shift the gear to P; 3. Slowly release the brake pedal and then turn off the engine. Explanation of automatic transmission gears: P stands for Parking gear, also used when starting; R stands for Reverse gear; N stands for Neutral gear; D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear; L stands for Low gear; S stands for Sport mode, when shifted into this gear, the gear can be freely switched; OD stands for Overdrive gear, used during high-speed driving.

When I first started driving an automatic transmission car, I learned the startup and parking procedures in great detail. For starting up: Sit properly and fasten the seatbelt, firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot, turn the key or press the start button to ignite the engine, wait a few seconds for the car to complete its self-check, then shift into D gear, gently release the brake and start moving slowly; Never forget to press the brake before shifting gears, otherwise the car might suddenly move and cause an accident. When parking, be even more careful: After stopping the car, keep the brake pedal pressed, first engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake to secure the wheels, then shift into P gear and turn off the engine, this protects the transmission from pressure damage. Especially for beginners, practicing these steps several times to form a habit makes driving more reassuring and avoids unnecessary repairs. If parked on a slope, it's even more crucial to strictly follow the procedure of engaging the handbrake first to prevent the car from rolling and causing damage. In daily driving, these basic steps ensure safety and peace of mind.

What is the correct sequence of operations for parking an automatic transmission car?

The correct parking sequence for an automatic transmission car is as follows: Press the foot brake to stop the car, shift the gear from D to N, engage the handbrake and turn off the engine, press the foot brake again, shift the gear from N to P, and then release the foot brake. Below are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Normal roads: There are no specific requirements for the gear; you can drive normally by keeping the car in D gear. 2. Reversing: After pressing the brake to stop the car from moving forward, you can shift to R gear. Gently releasing the brake will allow the car to move in reverse. 3. Parking or waiting: When parking or driving in congested traffic, you can shift to N gear.

What is the fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Sail 1.2L?

The fuel consumption of the Chevrolet Sail 1.2L is 0.0077 liters. Below is some relevant information about the Chevrolet Sail: 1. Exterior: The Sail has a new front face, including new headlights and fog lights, a new grille, a new front bumper, and of course, the new golden Chevrolet logo, giving it a refreshing look. 2. Interior: Although the layout of the interior hasn't changed much compared to the original model, it has been updated with a more youthful and stylish appearance. The metallic finish of the center console panel better suits the aesthetic preferences of younger people; the radio has been placed at the very bottom of the center console, close to the driver; the addition of numerous storage spaces maximizes the use of the existing interior space, greatly solving the problem of clutter inside the car.

How much fuel does a 1.6L car consume when idling for an hour?

Currently in the market, most family sedans have displacements of 1.5 or 1.6 liters. When idling for one hour, the fuel consumption is approximately 2 liters per hour. Relevant information about idling is as follows: 1. Introduction: Idling is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size. Idling means the engine is "producing power without doing work." 2. Driving idle: When the car is in gear without pressing the accelerator pedal or when releasing the accelerator pedal while driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed. This state is called driving idle.

Why was the Audi TT discontinued?

Audi TT discontinuation reasons are as follows: Poor sales: The sales of the Audi TT began to show signs of decline many years ago, and the response was not positive, so these two models were not mass-produced later. High R&D costs: As a sports car, the research and manufacturing costs of the Audi TT are naturally higher than those of ordinary family cars, but despite such high investment, the Audi TT failed to achieve the expected sales. Environmental factors: Firstly, affected by the emissions scandal, the Volkswagen Group's internal budget may have been significantly reduced, and it is estimated that it no longer has the ability to bear the budget for developing the next-generation model. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the global automotive market was sluggish, and the Volkswagen Group was hit hard. Therefore, discontinuing the Audi TT under such circumstances became a very reasonable decision.

How Long Can Opened Engine Oil Be Used?

Opened engine oil can be used for 6 months to 1 year. Below are the specific functions of engine oil: 1. Shock absorption: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, providing a cushioning effect against impact loads. 2. Rust and corrosion prevention: The lubricating oil adheres to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 3. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear, an oil film of sufficient thickness must be established between the sliding surfaces to separate them and reduce wear. 4. Cooling: Engine oil carries heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine.

What are the reasons for a diesel vehicle being difficult to start but running normally after starting?

There are four main reasons why a diesel vehicle may be difficult to start. Below are the explanations for the causes of difficult starting in diesel vehicles: 1. Air or moisture in the fuel system: If the fuel pipe connections are loose or the inlet pipe is worn and damaged, air can enter the fuel system. Additionally, diesel fuel contains a certain amount of moisture. When there is too much air or moisture, it can affect the normal starting of the diesel engine. 2. No fuel in the tank, the inlet valve is closed, or the tank vent is blocked: Some drivers fail to monitor the diesel level in the tank, and after the fuel is exhausted, they do not refill it in time. Alternatively, the fuel inlet valve may have been manually closed. It is also possible that the tank vent has become clogged with dust or debris due to prolonged use. When the vent is blocked, the tank cannot properly equalize pressure with the atmosphere, creating a vacuum in the upper part of the tank as the fuel level drops. This affects fuel supply and may even interrupt it entirely. 3. Clogged fuel pipes or diesel filter: Fuel pipes may become misaligned or the filter screens in the pipe connections may become clogged due to lack of cleaning over time. If the fuel pipes are deformed or the diesel filter element is clogged with impurities, the pipes or filter element must be replaced or cleaned promptly. Otherwise, the clogging can make it difficult to start the diesel engine. 4. Severe wear of the injection pump plunger or delivery valve, leading to poor sealing: This can reduce the fuel injection pressure, causing delayed injection and incomplete fuel combustion, ultimately making the diesel engine difficult to start.
