The gear positions P, R, D, and S represent: 1. P (Park): The parking gear, which uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing it from moving; 2. R (Reverse): The reverse gear, engaged before reversing. When parking, press the safety button device on the gear shift, and the gear lever will move to the R position; 3. D (Drive): The forward gear. When driving forward normally, simply engage the D gear and the car will move forward on its own; 4. S (Sport): The sport gear, typically used when climbing slopes, especially on steeper inclines. It is also known as the "uphill gear," but this gear will increase fuel consumption.

What Causes Loud and Squeaky Windshield Wipers?

Possible causes include excessive tension in the wiper arm spring or severe wear on the wiper blade friction surface. Here are relevant explanations: 1. Windshield Wipers: Wipers, also known as windshield wipers or windscreen wipers, are devices used to sweep away raindrops and dust adhering to a vehicle's windshield, thereby improving driver visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all automobiles worldwide are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also feature wipers. 2. Maintenance Notes: Wipers rely on friction between rubber strips and the windshield to remove impurities. If the wiper rubber strips accumulate dirt or small particles like sand, they can generate friction noise against the glass. This issue can be resolved simply by cleaning debris from the wiper rubber strips.

What is the total loss standard for flood-damaged vehicles?

The total loss standards for flood-damaged vehicles are as follows: 1. For vehicles where the floodwater in the passenger compartment exceeds the height of the instrument panel due to the accident, a presumed total loss approach can be adopted with the customer's agreement. The loss is determined based on the actual value amount, and the recovered vehicles should be uniformly processed through auction by the branch company. 2. For vehicles that do not meet the above total loss standard, normal loss assessment applies. If the repair cost quoted by the repair shop and verified by our company exceeds 80% of the actual value, a presumed total loss can also be negotiated and handled according to the above method. 3. For other special cases where the customer requests a presumed total loss approach, the matter should be reported to the general manager's office of the branch company's claims department for review.

How to Deal with Scratches on Car Film?

If the scratched film is located on the car body, you can first address the raised burrs on the film and then choose a decal that suits your taste to cover the affected area, which not only showcases your personality but also hides the scratch marks. If you prefer to maintain the original color without using decals, you can purchase the corresponding film section online. Many stores offer installation services at a much lower cost than 4S shops, and those with strong DIY skills can also attempt the installation themselves. Below are some post-installation precautions: 1. Avoid rolling down windows: After applying the car film, do not roll down the windows for one week. In most cases, the car film takes 5-7 days to fully adhere to the window. During this period, minimize window movement to prevent the film from shifting before it is completely bonded. 2. Avoid wiping: Do not wipe the car film for one week after installation. Newly applied film may develop fogging, which is a normal part of the drying process. Such occurrences within a week to half a month are typical; simply wait for the fogging to dissipate and avoid wiping. 3. Avoid using sharp or hard tools: After applying the car film, never use sharp or hard tools to scrape or scratch it. If you accidentally do so, the transparency of the car film will be significantly compromised.
