The abnormal noise in Tang DM on bumpy roads can be caused by various reasons, such as loose screws or issues with the steering column. Below is an analysis of the potential causes: 1. Loose related screws: During the test drive, the noise originated from the steering column and steering wheel area, suspected to be transmitted from the chassis to the column. All chassis screws were checked and tightened, with no looseness found. 2. Steering column issue: After removing the main airbag, instrument panel, combination switch, clock spring, and column cover, and only installing the steering wheel for a test drive, the fault persisted. 3. Steering gear problem: Upon removing the related decorative panels near the column, it was discovered that the reserved knee airbag connector of the instrument wiring harness was tightly pressed against the instrument panel body, suspected to cause impact noise when driving on bumpy roads. 4. Interference with related components: After securing the knee airbag connector and its main wiring harness with tape, the test drive confirmed the fault was resolved.

Which gear is the starting gear for an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the starting gear is the D (Drive) gear. Automatic transmission cars only have two pedals: the brake and the accelerator. The left pedal is the brake, and the right pedal is the accelerator—this order must be clearly remembered. To start the car, first press the left brake pedal, then the right accelerator pedal. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). For regular driving, only the P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears are necessary. However, in certain special driving conditions, other gears may be required.

Should an automatic transmission car be parked in P or N?

Automatic transmission cars should be parked in both P and N gears, just in a specific sequence. When parking an automatic transmission car, first press the foot brake to stop the vehicle, then shift the gear from D to N, engage the handbrake, turn off the engine, press the foot brake again, shift from N to P, release the foot brake, and finally turn off the power and remove the key. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. Typically, an automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

Why is the Mazda engine so loud?

The reasons for the loud noise of Mazda engine are as follows: 1. The engine makes a sound similar to "puff puff": The unpleasant engine noise is most likely caused by the engine being too hot or too cold, and there is also a high probability that it is due to insufficient oil. 2. Engine overheating leads to loss of engine power: If the engine is active for a long time, causing the surface to overheat, the cooling system will fail. The first thing to do at this time is to check the cooling system. If there is a problem with the cooling system, it may cause blockage in the exhaust system because the vacuum tube is very likely to break. At this time, steam or hot air will come out of the engine, making some "squeaking" noises.
