When starting: You need to press the clutch and brake pedals all the way down, then slowly release the clutch. When shifting gears: Release the brake, press the clutch all the way down, and after completing the gear shift, lift the clutch at a steady speed (except for first gear). When decelerating or braking: Press both the clutch and brake pedals together until the vehicle gradually comes to a stop. Then shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and release both the clutch and brake simultaneously. The clutch states are as follows: Free travel: When you initially press the clutch, there is a small play in the clutch pedal, known as the linkage state. During this time, the power between the engine and the transmission is not disconnected, so no operations other than pressing the accelerator can be performed. Semi-engagement: When the clutch is pressed down a certain distance, it enters a semi-engaged state, meaning only about half of the engine's power is transmitted to the transmission. The semi-engaged state is primarily used when starting, and it is also the reason many beginners often stall when first driving a manual transmission car.

What is the driving experience after merging D license with C1?

The driving experience is calculated from the date when the first driver's license was obtained. For example, if you first obtained a C1 driver's license and later acquired a D license through an additional driving test, then the driving experience is calculated based on the C1 license. If you first obtained a D license and later added a C1 license, then the driving experience is calculated based on the date of obtaining the D license. In other words, the driving experience is calculated based on the date of whichever type of driver's license was obtained first.

What does a red exclamation mark on the car dashboard mean?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning for the braking system, mainly due to braking system failure or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark representing braking system failure, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, indicating general faults, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission fault or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

When using the heater in winter driving, it is recommended to alternate between recirculation and fresh air modes to maintain better air quality inside the vehicle. Here are the details: 1. In the initial stage of winter driving, use recirculation mode directly to quickly raise the temperature inside the car. 2. Once the temperature reaches a comfortable level, switch to fresh air mode in time to improve the air quality inside the vehicle. 3. If the external air environment is poor, switch back to recirculation mode and slightly open the windows to maintain air circulation inside the car.
