Driver sits in the driver's seat, presses the brake pedal, and pushes the start button to ignite and start the engine. Release the foot brake, warm up the vehicle while stationary, then press the brake pedal again and shift to D gear. Release the handbrake and slowly release the brake pedal to start moving.

I just started learning to drive not long ago, let me share the basic steps of driving an automatic transmission car. Before getting in the car, check for any obstacles around, then adjust the seat and rearview mirrors properly after sitting down, and make sure to fasten the seat belt. After starting the engine, press the brake pedal with your foot, and shift the gear lever from P (Park) to D (Drive) with your right hand, which means forward gear. Gradually release the brake and gently press the accelerator pedal to get the car moving. While driving, pay attention to road conditions, control the speed and direction, and press the brake pedal to stop the car when encountering a red light or needing to stop. Upon reaching the destination, shift back to P (Park), engage the handbrake or electronic parking brake, and turn off the engine to remove the key. Beginners may feel nervous while driving, so it's recommended to practice starting and stopping in an open area more often—safety first. If the road is slippery on rainy days, drive even more carefully and slowly. The advantage of driving an automatic transmission car is its simplicity, as you don't need to shift gears frequently, but it's also important to develop the habit of regularly checking the brake pads and tires.

Why can't I engage the automatic parking brake on my Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz automatic parking brake cannot be engaged due to improper foot technique and lack of adaptation, which can be resolved with more practice. Below is relevant information about automatic parking brakes: 1. Definition: Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the brake or skillfully coordinate the clutch and throttle for smooth starts on slopes. The automatic parking brake function uses a slope sensor to provide precise braking force via the controller. During startup, the parking control unit calculates data from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force exceeds the running resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly. However, it is best to turn off this function during low-speed parking to avoid frequent activation. 2. Function: It simplifies operations by eliminating the need for manual or electronic handbrakes, and automatic transmission models do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P.

Do Carbon Fiber Sill Plates Damage Car Paint?

Carbon fiber sill plates do not damage car paint. Sill plates, also known as scuff plates or welcome pedals, are installed at the bottom of the door area. Since this area is prone to contact with shoes when entering or exiting the vehicle, installing sill plates can prevent scratches and enhance aesthetics. Some high-end vehicles come with stainless steel sill plates that include lighting. Below is additional information: 1. Advantages of installing sill plates: Properly installed sill plates do not harm the vehicle; instead, they protect areas susceptible to wear and tear. This is particularly beneficial for households with children or elderly individuals who may frequently step on the car sill when getting in or out. Without sill plates, prolonged contact can lead to scratches on the car's paint, which sill plates effectively prevent. 2. Disadvantages of installing sill plates: The drawbacks mainly apply to aftermarket sill plates. Most sill plates are attached using strong adhesive, which may loosen over time, causing the plates to fall off. Additionally, if the sill plates are removed, they may leave behind stubborn residue that is difficult to clean, affecting the vehicle's appearance.

What procedures are required to replace an engine at the vehicle management office?

Here are the procedures required for filing with the vehicle management office after an engine replacement: 1. Identity proof of the vehicle owner. 2. Vehicle registration certificate. 3. Vehicle license. 4. If it involves replacing the engine, body, or frame: a motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate must be submitted. 5. If it involves replacing the entire vehicle due to quality issues: a motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate must be submitted, except for imported vehicles through customs and vehicles exempted from safety technical inspections as recognized by the competent department of motor vehicle products under the State Council.

Is Wheel Balancing and Four-Wheel Alignment Necessary When Changing Car Tires?

Wheel balancing is required when replacing tires. If wheel balancing is not performed, the tire's weight distribution will not align on a central axis during rotation, causing the wheels to wobble from side to side, which in turn leads to vibrations in the car body and steering wheel. Relevant parameters for changing rims: 1. Center Bore (CB): Refers to the size of the rim's center hole. Although rims with different center bore sizes from the original can be installed using adapters, it is not recommended for safety reasons. 2. Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD): This value should match the original specifications. For example, a rim with a PCD of 5x120mm means it has five lug bolts forming a circle with a diameter of 120mm. 3. Offset (OFFSET): Also known as the ET value. A positive offset means the mounting surface is outside the centerline, while a negative offset means it is inside. Passenger cars generally have a positive offset, and this value significantly affects driving stability and cornering traction.

CFMOTO 250SR Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance schedule for the CFMOTO 250SR is as follows: The break-in period is from 1500 km to 2000 km, during which the engine oil should be changed at 200 km, 500 km, 800 km, 1500 km, and 2000 km. At 2500 km, clean the air filter (replace if it's a paper filter) and the oil filter, then drain and replace the engine oil. For subsequent maintenance, change the engine oil and air filter every 1500 km, and check the battery monthly for any power loss. Additional specifications are as follows: 1. Dimensions: The CFMOTO 250SR measures 2010 mm in length, 750 mm in width, and 1080 mm in height, with a fuel tank capacity of 12L and a curb weight of 165 kg. 2. Appearance: The available colors are Starlight Black and Starlight White.

Does ETC Need to Be Cancelled?

ETC does not need to be cancelled, but if you buy a new car and keep the same license plate number, you must cancel it at the service point and reapply. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stopped vehicle ahead, to prevent the ETC device of the preceding vehicle from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the preceding vehicle. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, resulting in failed payment. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. You can take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the detachment or loosening is not caused by human factors, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to payment failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff and use the manual MTC lane with cash or card payment. Poor sensing due to excessively thick car windshields. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after an accident or those with modified front windshields.
