Automatic transmission car does not move when the accelerator is pressed due to: 1. The clutch is not fully engaged; 2. The car's handbrake is not released; 3. The gear is stuck and not fully engaged; 4. The clutch friction plate is severely worn. The letter meanings of an automatic transmission car are: P stands for Parking, R stands for Reverse, N stands for Neutral, D stands for Drive, L stands for Low gear, S stands for Sport mode, and OD stands for Overdrive. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car are: 1. Do not shift into P while driving; 2. After driving, the engine must be turned off and shifted into P to remove the key; 3. Do not shift into N while driving to coast.

What is the function of car front fog lights?

Here is an introduction to the functions of car front fog lights: 1. In foggy or rainy conditions where visibility is significantly affected by weather, they allow other vehicles to see your car. 2. Installed at the front of the car, slightly lower than the headlights, they are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. 3. They can improve the visibility for the driver and other traffic participants, enabling oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance. Here are the operation methods for turning on the front and rear fog lights: 1. Lever-operated type: The fog lights are activated by rotating the switch on the lever. When the button marked with the fog light symbol is turned to the ON position, the front fog lights turn on. Then, turning the button downward to the rear fog light position activates both the front and rear fog lights simultaneously. 2. Button-operated type: For models where the front and rear fog lights are turned on via buttons, there are fog light buttons near the dashboard or center console. Pressing the front and rear fog light buttons respectively will illuminate the front and rear fog lights.

What is the function of tire hairs?

The function of tire hairs is to test the quality of the tire rubber by pulling them. Below is relevant information about tire hairs: 1. If they can be stretched long and are difficult to break, it indicates good rubber quality. Otherwise, it suggests poor rubber quality or expired products. 2. Tire hairs are formed during the vulcanization process of tires, where liquid rubber flows into the vent holes of the tire mold and hardens. Related information: 1. Tire hairs mainly occur when the vehicle is driven at high speeds, causing the tires to rotate rapidly. 2. The air inside the tire treads is compressed and then released, creating continuous "compression-release" noise. 3. The faster the speed and the heavier the vehicle, the louder the noise. At high speeds, the effect of tire hairs is negligible, so they do not increase tire noise.

What Causes the Inability to Add Refrigerant to a Car's Air Conditioning System?

Car air conditioning systems may fail to accept refrigerant primarily due to compressor malfunction or excessive internal pipeline pressure, preventing refrigerant injection. In such cases, it's necessary to visit a 4S dealership for diagnostics to pinpoint and repair the specific fault. Additional details regarding car AC refrigerant recharge are as follows: 1. Procedure for adding refrigerant: Begin with pressure testing, followed by pressure retention checks. Upon confirming no leaks and stable pressure, proceed with vacuum extraction before refrigerant charging. 2. Precautions during refrigerant charging: Always start the vehicle and activate the AC system before charging. Refrigerant should typically be introduced through the low-pressure port while ensuring the high-pressure gauge connection remains securely tightened.

What is the difference between full slicks and semi-slicks?

The differences between full slick tires and semi-slick tires: 1. Price difference: Full slick tires are more expensive than semi-slick tires, which is hard to accept for amateur racing enthusiasts, who mostly choose semi-slick tires. 2. Grip difference: Full slick tires have stronger stickiness than semi-slick tires, providing better grip. However, if there are many debris like gravel on the road, these particles sticking to the tires can negatively affect grip. Therefore, full slick tires are not suitable for general road driving. 3. Sidewall hardness difference: Semi-slick tires have softer sidewalls than full slick tires, resulting in slower response at high speeds and deformation during emergency braking. Full slick tires are ultra-high-performance tires designed specifically for track use, requiring extremely high surface conditions. Once they reach working temperature, their grip is astonishing, far superior to semi-slick tires.

What brand is Optimum tires?

Optimum is a tire brand under the Hankook Tire umbrella, known globally as a premium tire manufacturer. Currently available in three models: one prioritizing fuel economy, another emphasizing quiet comfort, and a third focused on handling safety. These are original equipment tires for many vehicle models on the market. The Optimo series is Hankook's highest market-share tire line, renowned for its comfort, cost-effectiveness, balanced handling and energy efficiency. The main Optimo series models in the market are K415, H426, and K715. Tires are crucial automotive components that directly impact driving stability and safety. As the only part of a vehicle that contacts the road surface, tires are rubber products. Normally, tires should be replaced every four years of use, so we recommend changing them every four years. When purchasing new tires, always check the production date carefully as tires have expiration dates. The typical lifespan of automotive tires is 3-5 years or 50,000-80,000 kilometers. Since tires are primarily made of rubber, prolonged exposure to sunlight causes aging. Extended outdoor parking accelerates tire aging and reduces strength, with such tires generally lasting no more than three years.
