Here are the gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. P (Park) gear is used for long-term parking of the vehicle; 2. R (Reverse) gear is engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N (Neutral) gear is used when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D (Drive) gear is the forward gear, and when the gear lever is in D, the vehicle will automatically shift gears based on throttle opening and speed data; 5. S (Sport) mode makes the vehicle drive more sportily; 6. M (Manual) mode allows the driver to manually shift gears when the gear lever is in M; 7. L (Low) gear is the low-speed gear.

What are the differences between the new and old Citroën models?

The differences between the new and old Citroën models mainly lie in the exterior parts such as the dashboard, front and rear bumpers, hood, tailgate, and front fenders. Essentially, these are just the outer shells; the rest of the components remain the same. Turn on the ignition before starting the engine: Before starting the engine, turn on the ignition first—do not start the engine directly. When the ignition is turned on, the vehicle usually performs a self-check, during which all indicator lights will illuminate simultaneously. After the self-check is completed, the lights will turn off one by one. Once the entire process is finished, you can start the engine. This typically takes about 3 seconds. Regularly clean the dust in the engine compartment: After a period of use, the engine compartment tends to accumulate dust. It is essential for car owners to clean it regularly, as excessive dust can hinder the engine's normal heat dissipation. Severe heat dissipation issues may lead to oil leaks from the gaskets. However, since the engine compartment must never be washed with water, it is recommended to take the car to a repair shop where professionals can clean it using a high-pressure air gun. Precautions for cold starts: During a cold start, allow the engine to idle for about one and a half minutes to give it time to warm up. When starting, the engine's internal temperature has not yet reached the normal operating temperature—90 degrees on the coolant temperature gauge is considered normal. The car may shake, the engine noise might be louder, and the tachometer may read slightly higher—typically between 600 to 900 RPM. Starting under such conditions can lead to engine carbon buildup because combustion is incomplete at low temperatures.

What to Do When Fuel Pump Pressure is Low?

Solutions for low fuel pump pressure: 1. Replace the fuel pump motor; 2. Clean the filter screen; 3. Replace the fuel pump assembly. The fuel pump is a lightweight and compact pump, available in in-line, distributor, and single-unit types. Causes of low fuel pump pressure: 1. Wear of the oil seal at the rear end of the fuel pump drive gear shaft, loose pipe joints, air in the pipeline, or insufficient fuel in the tank; 2. Wear or jamming of the fuel pump gear end face bearing, resulting in excessive axial clearance of the fuel pump gear; 3. Damage to the needle roller bearing, abnormal meshing of the fuel pump gear, or scoring of the fuel pump housing inner cavity; 4. Jamming of the fuel pump regulating valve or safety valve, insufficient spring force, or breakage.

Is it easy to replace the clutch slave cylinder on a Haval H6?

Easy to replace. Here are the relevant details: Location of the clutch slave cylinder: The clutch slave cylinder is located at the lower right side of the engine compartment. It is easiest to see when the vehicle is lifted. Simply remove the screws to access it. Precautions: If the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, or pedal adjustment is improper; if the release bearing lacks lubrication or fails, if the release bearing sleeve is stuck, if the release fork is cracked or deformed, if the transmission's first shaft is twisted, if the clutch assist slave cylinder fails, or if the assist slave cylinder rocker arm is loose, the clutch may malfunction or fail in a very short time, potentially leading to vehicle or personal accidents. Under normal usage conditions, the lifespan of the clutch is at least 50,000 kilometers for the pressure plate assembly and at least 30,000 kilometers for the driven plate assembly.

What are the 'Three Touches and One Belt' in Subject Three?

The 'Three Touches and One Belt' in Subject Three refers to the preparatory actions before starting the vehicle, with variations in different regions. It involves touching the sensors on the rearview mirror, the left side mirror, and under the seat, adjusting the seat to a comfortable position, fastening the seatbelt, igniting the engine, turning on the low beam headlights, and beginning the nighttime simulated lighting test. Confirming Surrounding Safety: In some areas, pressing the sensors is not required, but walking around the vehicle remains essential. First, ensure the surrounding environment is safe. Even the most advanced radar and reversing camera systems have blind spots, making personal observation crucial. Due to the vehicle's large size, sitting inside does not provide a full view of the entire vehicle. Checking Tire Condition: Tire condition directly impacts driving safety. Bulges or insufficient tire pressure during use can easily lead to blowouts, which may cause serious accidents. Walking around the vehicle also helps detect any foreign objects like nails that could puncture the tires. Early Detection of Vehicle Scratches: When parked on public roads or in parking lots, vehicles are vulnerable to unexpected damage.
