Sensor malfunction. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Lack of maintenance over the years: The vehicle does not move when shifting gears, the dashboard can display normally when shifting to D or R gear, and the computer diagnostic tool shows a clutch malfunction. After removing the air filter box and repeating the usual ignition steps, it is observed that the electric clutch can only extend but not retract. Such malfunctions often occur in older vehicles with high mileage, which is a problem of prolonged lack of maintenance and premature clutch wear. It is necessary to replace the transmission clutch kit and the three plastic gears inside the clutch. 2. Electronic clutch: The vehicle does not move when shifting gears, the dashboard cannot display normally when shifting to D or R gear, which could be due to a short circuit, sensor malfunction, damaged gear lever, or electronic clutch failure. First, check whether the gear lever, transmission, actuator circuit, and fuse are functioning properly.

How many days of footage does a dash cam usually save?

Dash cam footage is typically saved for three days to one week, with the actual duration determined by the memory card capacity. A 16GB memory card can store approximately 100 minutes; a 32GB card can store about 200 minutes; and a 64GB card can store around 400 minutes. The reason for time reset on dash cams is either the absence of a battery or the battery being depleted. The battery in dash cams is primarily designed to prevent sudden power loss in the vehicle, which could lead to shutdown and affect video integrity. Some car owners opt for dash cams without batteries for safety reasons, which is incorrect because without a battery, the time and other functions need to be reset every time the device is powered on.

What Lights to Use When Driving at Night?

When driving at night, use low beam headlights, width indicators, and taillights. Using high beams can make it difficult for oncoming drivers to see the road ahead, increasing the risk of accidents. High beams are generally used on highways or when there are very few vehicles on the road. High beams help to see road conditions in the distance, but they should be switched to low beams when encountering another vehicle. Parking lights are used when temporarily stopping and turning off the engine. Front and rear fog lights should be used in foggy or rainy conditions where visibility is significantly affected by the weather. In urban areas with good lighting conditions, low beam headlights are usually sufficient at night, and high beams are rarely needed. If the lighting is poor, drivers can use high beams, but they must remember to switch them off when meeting another vehicle.

What is a Fender?

Fender, also known as wing panel, refers to a type of cover component on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. Based on the installation position, fenders are categorized into front fenders and rear fenders. The front fender is installed at the front wheel, ensuring the maximum clearance for wheel rotation and bouncing. The rear fender does not face issues related to wheel rotation and rubbing, but for aerodynamic considerations, it is slightly arched and protrudes outward. During vehicle operation, the front fender prevents gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underside of the vehicle body, reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis. Therefore, the material used for front fenders must be resistant to weather aging and possess good formability and processability. Many vehicles use plastic materials with a certain degree of elasticity for the front fenders, providing some cushioning effect and enhancing safety.

Will Spark Plugs Affect Engine Power?

Spark plugs do affect engine power. The operating principle of an engine is that the combustible mixture burns and rapidly expands in the cylinder, thereby pushing the piston downward to rotate the crankshaft and generate power. For a gasoline engine's mixture to ignite and combust, it must rely on the spark plug to produce a strong electric spark at the appropriate moment. Therefore, the quality of the spark plug directly impacts the car's power. The spark plug is a crucial component of a gasoline engine's ignition system, mainly composed of the terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. Signs that indicate the need for spark plug replacement: 1. Weak acceleration: The engine exhibits abnormal shaking during acceleration; 2. Idle shaking: The car engine shows significant shaking when idling; 3. Difficulty starting: The car engine has trouble starting.

How Many Turns to Lock the Steering Wheel?

Locking the steering wheel to the right means turning it one and a half turns to the right; locking it to the left means turning it one and a half turns to the left. After locking the wheel to the right, turning it back one and a half turns will return it to the center position, and the same applies to locking it to the left. If you turn the wheel half a turn to the right and then half a turn in the opposite direction, it will also return to the center position. Turning the steering wheel to its maximum limit in either the counterclockwise or clockwise direction is referred to as locking the steering wheel. When making a turn, if the steering wheel is locked, the pressure on the power steering pump can increase several times or even higher. Continuously locking the steering wheel can shorten the lifespan of the power steering pump, so it should not be done for prolonged periods. When turning the steering wheel, keeping both hands on the wheel allows for a 180-degree turn in either direction, which is sufficient for most driving situations.
