Reversing into a parking space with the left side wider is usually caused by turning the steering wheel back too early. When reversing, it's essential to maintain a steady speed. When reversing from the right side, pay attention to the distance between the car body and the right side—if it's more than three fingers' width, there's no need to straighten the wheel; if it's less, straighten the steering wheel. When you see the left bottom corner in the left rearview mirror, immediately straighten the wheel and then make adjustments. Below are some tips for reversing into a parking space: 1. Control the driving speed—use first gear or reverse gear at idle speed throughout the process. 2. Control the timing of steering—during reversing, observe carefully and master the key points for turning, steering at the right moment. 3. Control the driving path—during the test, the car's path mainly depends on the speed of turning the steering wheel and the driving speed. When reversing, aim for the side lines and adjust the direction promptly to ensure the car enters the space straight.

What brand of transmission is used in the Venucia Star?

The transmission used in the Venucia Star is independently developed by Dongfeng Venucia. Dongfeng Venucia is an automobile brand established on September 8, 2010, and serves as the second brand under Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company. The Venucia Star is equipped with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The dual-clutch transmission differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmission technology yet distinct from automatic transmissions, it combines the flexibility of manual transmissions with the comfort of automatic transmissions while providing uninterrupted power output. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device that alters the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve varying traction and speed under different conditions such as starting, climbing hills, turning, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range. For the Venucia Star's transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay transmission oil changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can lead to overheating and potential jolts when re-engaging the D gear. Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, shift into reverse gear while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high load or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in low gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move it onto the tow platform while the vehicle is in N gear. Avoid using tow ropes or direct towing with another vehicle.

Is It No Longer Necessary to Display the Compulsory Traffic Insurance Label on the Windshield?

If electronic insurance policies have been implemented locally, there is no need to display the compulsory traffic insurance label on the vehicle. However, if electronic policies have not yet been implemented, the compulsory traffic insurance label must still be displayed. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: "Motor vehicles driven on the road without inspection qualification labels, insurance labels, or without carrying the vehicle license or driver's license shall be detained by the traffic management department of the public security organ. The party concerned shall be notified to provide the corresponding license, label, or complete the relevant procedures. A penalty may also be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article 90 (a warning or a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan)." As of 2022, the provinces and cities that have abolished the paper label for compulsory traffic insurance include: Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Shanxi, Guangdong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Hebei, Sichuan, and Gansu. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, mainly influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, the exemptions for compulsory traffic insurance cover losses caused by intentional actions of the victim, property losses of the insured, related arbitration and litigation costs, and some indirect losses caused by accidents, providing much broader coverage. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits, with no deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company with an electronic signature, using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Saves time and is convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information accessible online anytime, fast and easy; Can apply for reissuance or resending, no need to worry about losing it. If a paper version is needed offline, it can also be printed or mailed; Easy management, with electronic unification making it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.
