What do the plus and minus signs on the automatic transmission mean?

Automatic transmission's plus sign represents upshifting, while the minus sign represents downshifting. To increase the vehicle's speed, push the gear lever toward the plus sign to achieve upshifting. To reduce the vehicle's speed, push the gear lever toward the minus sign and then downward to achieve downshifting. N stands for neutral gear. Selecting the N button disengages the transmission and disconnects the driven wheel of the transmission. At this point, the vehicle will move based on its own weight, momentum, and inertia, equivalent to turning off the engine. The car cannot rely on the engine for operation, so remember not to use neutral gear when going uphill. D gear is the drive gear, which works by engaging all possible forward motion ratios through the transmission, typically ranging between 3 and 9.

Is it better to buy a car from a dealership or a 4S store?

Dealerships are so-called secondary dealers. They source their cars from 4S stores, and after-sales services like maintenance are also handled at 4S stores. Therefore, it is recommended to buy from a 4S store for better assurance. Additional information: 1. Dealerships are so-called secondary dealers, and secondary dealers themselves do not have vehicles. They source their cars from 4S stores, and after-sales services like maintenance are also handled at 4S stores. 2. Since they are not directly managed by manufacturers, there are often significant price discounts available. However, buyers should be cautious, as dealerships are not as reliable as 4S stores. 3. Since the cars at secondary dealerships come from 4S stores and they compete with 4S stores, their quoted prices are often the selling prices of 4S stores. Therefore, if you negotiate based on this price, you can usually get the car at a lower price than at a 4S store. 4. Generally, the cars sold by secondary dealerships come from 4S stores, so the warranty information also lists the 4S store. However, secondary dealerships have more sourcing channels. Some buyers may purchase a car from a secondary dealership when a 4S store has no stock, but that car might have been transported from elsewhere, making maintenance difficult later. Moreover, the repair qualifications and facilities of secondary dealerships are not as good as those of 4S stores. Therefore, 4S stores naturally have an advantage in after-sales service.

Is it necessary to repaint a scratched fender?

Repainting is not necessary for a scratched fender. If the fender only has paint damage without any dents, simply applying putty and repainting will suffice. However, there is one situation where a full repaint is recommended: when the vehicle has a special color. This is because partial repainting of special colors can easily result in color discrepancies, affecting the vehicle's appearance. Notes on car scratches: 1. New cars: It's best to repair scratches on new cars as soon as possible, otherwise it may affect the car's aesthetics. 2. Polisher: For minor scratches, use a polisher but avoid excessive grinding, as it can damage the painted surface. 3. 4S shops: For more severe damage, it's advisable to go to a 4S shop for repair.
