First, check around the car for any obstacles and inspect the tire pressure. Ensure safety before opening the door and entering the vehicle. Next, check the dashboard. Then, from left to right, inspect the left rearview mirror, and of course, also glance at the dashboard to check the fuel level and whether the headlights are on. After that, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, press down the clutch, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly release the clutch to start the car while ensuring safety.

What Are the Commonly Used Automotive Dismantling Tools?

Commonly used automotive dismantling tools include: various wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, jacks, vehicle lifts, cranes, piston ring pliers, and valve spring compressors. The selection principles for various wrenches are as follows: generally, socket wrenches are preferred first, followed by box-end wrenches, then open-end wrenches, and finally adjustable wrenches. Ordinary wrenches are designed based on human hand strength. When encountering tight threaded parts, do not strike the wrench with a hammer. Except for socket wrenches, other wrenches should not be fitted with extension bars to prevent damage to the wrench or threaded connections. When using a hammer, always carefully check if the hammer head and handle are securely wedged. Hold the hammer at the rear of the handle. There are three methods of swinging a hammer: wrist swing, forearm swing, and full-arm swing. The wrist swing involves only the wrist movement, providing less striking force but is precise, fast, and energy-saving. The full-arm swing involves both the upper and lower arms, delivering the maximum striking force.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel a Small Half Turn?

Method for turning the steering wheel a small half turn: Hold the steering wheel with your left hand at the 45-degree position in the upper left corner, then rotate it clockwise to the 45-degree position in the lower right corner. To determine whether you've turned the steering wheel a half turn or a full turn, you can refer to the brand logo and horn symbol on the steering wheel. After a full turn, the positions of the brand logo and horn remain unchanged, while after a half turn, they will be upside down. The correct way to hold the steering wheel is to place your left hand near the 9 o'clock position and your right hand near the 3 o'clock position. Your hands should grip the steering wheel firmly but remain relaxed, with your thumbs resting naturally on the wheel. When turning the steering wheel, your hands should alternate. For a full turn, the left hand turns halfway, followed immediately by the right hand continuing the turn.

What is the button for the engine start-stop technology?

The engine start-stop indicator button in a car is a circle with an 'A' inside and the letters 'OFF' below. It is usually enabled by default. The automatic start-stop symbol with a cross indicates that the engine's automatic start-stop function can be turned off by pressing the start-stop button directly, and it will be enabled by default again the next time the car is started. Here is a partial introduction to the start-stop technology: 1. The car's automatic start-stop function allows the engine to shut down automatically when needed and restart automatically when the car needs to move forward again. 2. The automatic start-stop function is achieved by installing an idle start-stop motor in the car's engine. When the car meets the idle conditions, the engine automatically shuts down and stops working.

How to Deal with ETC Showing Illegal Removal?

Methods for handling ETC showing illegal removal: You need to go to an ETC customer service center or service outlet for reinstallation and activation. Improper installation of ETC or bumps/collisions while driving may cause the electronic tag to loosen or detach. Vehicles equipped with ETC should pass through toll gates via ETC lanes. The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent the system from automatically charging for the preceding vehicle. ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) enables automatic highway or bridge toll payment through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the toll station's ETC lane. It utilizes computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through highway/bridge toll stations without stopping for payment.
