What are the hazards of shifting directly from R to P gear?

Hazards include the P gear directly locking the gears. When the gears are rotating at high speed, they are suddenly caught by the hook of the P gear, causing the wheels to lock instantly or the gears to be damaged directly. Below is an introduction to car gears: 1. P gear: P is used for parking. It uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing the car from moving. When the engine is running, as long as the gear lever is in the driving position, an automatic transmission car can move easily. When parking, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position, thereby locking the output shaft through the internal parking brake device of the transmission and tightening the hand brake to prevent the car from moving. When the car needs to stay in a fixed position for a long time or before leaving the vehicle after parking, the hand brake should be pulled and the lever pushed into the "P" position. 2. R reverse gear: R gear should be used when reversing. Automatic transmission cars do not have the semi-clutch function like manual transmission cars, so special attention should be paid to the control of the accelerator pedal when reversing. Usually, the safety button on the lever must be pressed to move the lever to the "R" gear. It is important to note that when the vehicle has not completely stopped, it is absolutely not allowed to forcibly shift to the "R" gear, otherwise the transmission will be severely damaged.

Is it a problem if I hit someone else's car in a parking lot and left?

Leaving the scene after hitting someone else's car in a parking lot does have consequences. If the party involved in the traffic accident drives away from the scene, and there is evidence to prove that the party was unaware or could not have discovered the accident, then subjectively there is no intent to evade legal responsibility, and it cannot be determined as a hit-and-run. Conditions that constitute a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The party must be aware that a traffic accident has occurred at the time; the party must subjectively intend to evade legal responsibility; and the party must have already left the scene of the accident. Only when all three conditions are met can it be considered a hit-and-run. Penalties for a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that in cases where a party causes a traffic accident and flees the scene, the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and the party will be permanently prohibited from obtaining a motor vehicle driving license again.

Can Regular Cars Park in Charging Spaces?

With permission, regular cars can park in charging spaces. However, this may affect the charging process of other new energy vehicles. Charging Spaces and Charging Piles: Wall-mounted charging piles are suitable for installation in parking spaces near walls. Based on installation locations, they can be categorized into public charging piles and dedicated charging piles. Public charging piles are installed in public parking lots (garages) alongside parking spaces to provide public charging services for vehicles. Definition of New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive systems to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures.

Is it necessary to replace the condenser at a 4S shop?

Condensers can be replaced at automotive 4S shops or other auto repair shops. There is no need to replace it with an original factory condenser. However, the fixed dimensions and heat exchange capacity of the replacement condenser parts should be basically consistent with the original factory parts. Function of automotive condensers: The condenser is a component of the refrigeration system and a type of heat exchanger. It can convert gas or vapor into liquid and quickly transfer the heat in the tubes to the air near the tubes. Characteristics of automotive 4S shops: Automotive 4S stores are invested and constructed by dealers according to the standards set by automobile manufacturers. They are automobile sales enterprises that integrate four functions: vehicle sales, spare parts, after-sales service, and information feedback.
