Car gear positions include P, R, N, D, 2 (or S), L (or 1), etc. Here are some gear shifting techniques: 1. Starting gear control: Do not keep your hand on the gear shift lever for long periods while driving. Use 1st or 2nd gear when starting. 2. Gear shifting technique: When shifting gears, the driver should coordinate the clutch and accelerator properly - fully depress the clutch pedal while simultaneously releasing the accelerator pedal, then quickly shift to the corresponding gear. 3. Downshifting under high load: If the vehicle shakes slightly under high load conditions, you may downshift by one or two gears.

What are the reasons for water leakage in the car A-pillar?

Water leakage in the car A-pillar can be caused by: 1. Blockage of the sunroof drainage holes, preventing rainwater from draining in time and causing it to flow along the duct interface into the interior of the A-pillar; 2. Aging of the windshield sealing strip leading to leakage; 3. Aging of the window sealing strip or poor sealing of the roof rack mounting holes. The A-pillar is the connecting pillar between the left/right front and the roof and front compartment. The body pillars from front to back are the front pillar (A-pillar), middle pillar (B-pillar), and rear pillar (C-pillar). For sedans, these pillars provide structural support and serve as door frames. The A-pillar is a key component supporting the vehicle's structural strength—the higher its strength, the better the car's impact resistance.

How to Park at a Right Angle?

When reversing, pay attention to the 30cm distance between the car body and the corner in the right rearview mirror. If it's less than 30cm, turn the steering wheel back half a turn; if it's more than 30cm, you may easily press against the line when parking. After the car body enters the parking space, observe the left and right rearview mirrors. When the car body is parallel to the side line, quickly straighten the steering wheel. After entering the parking space, observe carefully. If one side of the car body is wider than the other, steer towards that side. When adjusting the car body, pay attention to the parking point. When parking, fully depress the clutch and brake. When exiting the parking space, observe the left and right rearview mirrors. If the car body is not straight, slightly adjust the direction to prevent the car from pressing against the line when exiting.
