Reasons why an automatic transmission sometimes cannot engage a gear: 1. Gear lock caused: If the gear is locked, first use the key to unlock the gear lock. If the key is ineffective, check whether the brake switch is faulty by stepping on the brake pedal; 2. Caused by the entire vehicle not being powered. An automatic transmission usually refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operation. Generally, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What are the tips for parallel parking with a B2 license?

Here are the tips for parallel parking with a B2 license: Tip 1: Maintain a steady speed throughout the process, gently release the clutch to keep the vehicle moving slowly and smoothly. Tip 2: Ensure the right side of the vehicle is within 30 cm of the parking space edge line. You can adjust the distance by observing the gap between the front right headlight and the parking space edge from the driver's seat, or by checking the distance between the right rear wheel and the parking space edge line in the right rearview mirror. Tip 3: Pay attention while reversing. First, watch the right rear wheel—turn the steering wheel to the right after passing the first pole. Then, observe the left rearview mirror and straighten the wheels when you see the fourth pole, then continue reversing straight.

What are the wrong practices for motor vehicles driving on highways?

Motor vehicles driving on highways should avoid straddling or riding on the lane demarcation lines or driving on the shoulder. Below are precautions for highway driving: 1. Speed: (1) For novice drivers who feel unsure, it's recommended to maintain a speed between 80~100 km/h on highways, with 90 km/h being ideal. (2) When exiting the highway and entering the ramp, apply the brake twice: first, reduce speed to 60~70 km/h upon seeing the 500-meter exit sign; second, slow down to 40 km/h when entering the ramp. 2. Driving and lane changing: Generally, lane changes or merging are unnecessary. Overtake directly when passing others, and if encountering slower vehicles occupying the fast lane, change lanes to overtake from the right.
