In an automatic transmission car, the different gears are: 1. P (Park) gear is specifically for parking; 2. R (Reverse) gear is for reversing; 3. N (Neutral) gear is the neutral position; 4. D (Drive) gear is for forward movement; 5. S (Sport) mode is for sporty driving; 6. L (Low) gear is for low-speed driving; 7. M (Manual) gear is for manual shifting in semi-automatic transmission cars. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting into gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. To shift out of P gear, the brake pedal must be pressed; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the vehicle is moving; 7. When changing direction, switching between D and R gears should only be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and become damaged.

What to Do When the Santana Trunk Won't Open?

Solutions for when the Santana trunk won't open are as follows: 1. If it's a cable-operated mechanism, check if there's anything blocking the cable or the trunk lid. 2. If it's an electric mechanism, press the switch and listen for any abnormal sounds from the linear motor or unlocking solenoid. If there are no sounds, check the power supply and whether the fuse is blown. The functions of a car trunk are as follows: 1. A fully equipped toolkit includes a spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc. Generally, these are standard equipment in cars, with the first aid kit and warning triangle being mandatory as they relate to driving safety and emergency assistance. 2. A luggage net in the trunk helps organize scattered items and prevents damage to fragile objects. If the car doesn't come with one, it's recommended to purchase one online or at an auto parts store.

After accelerating to the desired speed, push the control lever downward to set the cruise speed; 3. To cancel cruise control, simply pull the control lever upward to turn it off. Below is an introduction to cruise control: 1. The cruise control system, also known as speed control device or auto-pilot system, automatically maintains the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. 2. Improper use of cruise control can be dangerous. It should be used when driving above 50 km/h on open highways. The cruise system can be temporarily deactivated by pressing the brake pedal, pushing the lever in the CANCEL direction, or driving at a speed exceeding the stored speed by 10 km/h for more than 5 minutes.

Will speeding with temporary license plates be captured?

Speeding, running red lights, and other traffic violations during the temporary license plate period will be recorded. Penalty points will be deducted after the formal license plates are issued. Here is relevant information: 1. Temporary license plates: Temporary vehicle license plates have the same legal status as formal ones. Any violations will be recorded and penalized equally, so don't take chances. 2. Relevant regulations: Temporary plate information is comprehensive. Any violations captured by cameras or detected by traffic police will be documented. Owners will be notified of these violations when switching to formal plates. 3. Traffic laws: The Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China imposes strict penalties for speeding and running red lights, as these violations endanger both the driver and other vehicles, constituting typical dangerous driving. The law applies equally to all road vehicles, regardless of whether they have formal or temporary plates. Therefore, drivers with temporary plates should strictly obey traffic rules, drive safely, and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Why Accelerate Before Upshifting and Decelerate Before Downshifting?

Accelerating before upshifting ensures sufficient power output during acceleration. Directly downshifting while decelerating can cause a sudden increase in engine RPM, and engaging a lower gear at high speeds may lead to gear grinding, accelerating transmission wear. Additional Information: 1. Content One: After completing a turn, you should upshift as soon as possible to restore the car to normal speed and prevent rear-end collisions. With practice, you can slightly accelerate when turning in a manual transmission car for greater comfort. This is because the acceleration-induced thrust can slightly reduce the discomfort caused by centrifugal force, and downshifting before a turn allows for quicker power response in case of emergencies. 2. Content Two: Maintain an appropriate distance from the car in front when turning. If you find the speed too fast, press the clutch and then brake. When the vehicle speed is about 20 km/h, shift to first gear. When releasing the clutch, do it slowly to avoid a sudden drop in RPM, which can cause severe jerking.
