An automatic transmission car refers to a vehicle equipped with an automatic gearbox. Car transmissions are divided into automatic and manual types. Introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission car: 1. P gear is the parking gear, used when the vehicle is parked for a long time; 2. R gear is the reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N gear is the neutral gear, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D gear is the drive gear, when the gear lever is placed in D gear, the vehicle will automatically switch gears based on throttle opening and speed data; 5. S gear is the sport mode, making the vehicle drive more sportily; 6. M gear refers to the manual mode, when the gear lever is shifted into M gear, gear shifting is done manually by the driver; 7. L gear is the low-speed gear.

How to Repair a Cracked Headlight Cover?

First, use masking tape to cover the surrounding areas of the headlight cover to prevent damage to the paint during sanding and polishing. It's best to use wider masking tape. Then, slowly sand away the cracks on the headlight cover using sandpaper. Start with 240-grit sandpaper for coarse sanding, then switch to 400-grit or 600-grit for fine sanding. After completely removing the cracks, finally use a polishing machine and polishing wax to polish the surface.

What Causes Engine Stalling After Ignition?

The causes of engine stalling after ignition include carbon buildup or fuel system malfunctions. Below are detailed reasons and solutions: Reasons for stalling after ignition: 1. Carbon buildup: During cold starts, the engine temperature is low, and fuel is less volatile and harder to vaporize. If there is severe carbon buildup in the fuel lines or intake passages, these deposits will absorb fuel vapors, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This can cause unstable idling or immediate stalling after ignition. After several ignition attempts, the carbon deposits become saturated with fuel vapors, allowing the air-fuel mixture to normalize and the engine to start. 2. Fuel system issues: (1) A faulty fuel pump may suddenly seize or malfunction, causing insufficient fuel supply and stalling. (2) Low fuel system pressure due to a weak fuel pump, fuel leaks, low electrical current, or a damaged fuel pressure regulator can result in inadequate fuel delivery. (3) Clogged or leaking fuel injectors can cause poor fuel atomization, leading to insufficient fuel supply and stalling. Solutions for stalling after ignition: 1. Firmly grip the steering wheel with your left hand to maintain control. 2. Press the brake pedal hard with your right foot to reduce speed as much as possible, then quickly shift the AT transmission to N (Neutral). 3. Turn the key back one position, restart the engine, and shift back to D (Drive) to resume normal operation.

How to Use the Extension Line for Steering When Reversing into a Parking Space?

First, pull the car to an appropriate position, shift into reverse gear, release the clutch, and maintain a slow speed while observing from the driver's perspective. When the corner of the parking space appears in the right rearview mirror, pay attention to the distance between the rear wheel and the corner of the space. Look at the left rearview mirror, and when the horizontal yellow line crosses the lower edge of the left rearview mirror and is completely obscured, press the brake and clutch.

What is the W gear in an automatic transmission car

Automatic transmission W stands for the snow mode. Here are the specific details about the automatic transmission W gear: 1. Although the snow mode of the automatic transmission W gear can save fuel to a certain extent, it is not recommended for prolonged use because driving at low speeds can easily lead to severe carbon buildup, which will ultimately affect the vehicle's overall power performance. 2. The automatic transmission W gear can be used for starting on slippery surfaces, as the wheel torque is equivalent to that of second gear, which helps prevent slipping on wet or icy roads. It is also possible to drive in W mode, but high-speed driving is not recommended. In this mode, the engine torque is restrained and does not quickly reach its peak, thereby reducing the likelihood of wheel spin and skidding when driving on snow and effectively preventing side slipping. 3. For automatic vehicles equipped with an ESP system, the 'snow mode' of the automatic transmission W gear is by no means a simple second-gear start. After testing, when the snow mode is activated in an automatic transmission, the vehicle's power output is effectively controlled in real-time within a range suitable for snowy conditions. The ESP body stability system, ABS anti-lock braking system, and ECU vehicle computer system work together based on wheel speed and steering wheel angle, using specific programming to ensure more perfect coordination of the vehicle's driving power.

What are the length, width, and height dimensions of a sedan's trunk?

Generally, the dimensions of a sedan's trunk are approximately 1120 mm in depth, 1010 mm in width, and 560 mm in height. Trunk: The trunk is the area in a small car used for storing miscellaneous items, typically located at the rear of the vehicle. Notes: The trunk is a very important component of a vehicle's interior configuration, and effectively utilizing the trunk space requires certain techniques. The order in which items are placed is extremely important. The principle is to place large items at the bottom and small items on top, as well as heavy items in the front and lighter items at the back.
