D1 gear means fixed gear. Under normal road conditions, you can drive using the D gear all the time. However, there are several situations where you should not keep the gear in D, which are: 1. Driving on mountainous roads. When driving on mountainous roads, you should choose the appropriate time to shift to a lower gear. 2. Climbing a slope. When climbing a slope, you should shift to a low gear. 3. Excessive speed. If the speed is too fast and exceeds the maximum speed of the gear you want to shift down to, downshifting at this time can cause significant damage to the automatic transmission, easily burning the friction plates in the transmission. Moreover, many automatic transmission vehicles have a self-protection mode, making this operation impossible to achieve. In such cases, you need to use the brakes to reduce the speed before shifting to the appropriate gear.

What causes the shaking when the vehicle is first started?

Shaking when the vehicle is first started is a normal phenomenon, and almost all cars experience some shaking when the engine is started. During engine startup, the engine operates unevenly, resulting in some shaking, which typically stops once the engine is running. Most cars use inline four-cylinder engines, which may also exhibit slight shaking after startup. If the engine shaking becomes more pronounced, it could indicate an issue with the engine mounts. Engine mounts, made of rubber, are located where the engine connects to the frame. These mounts help prevent the vibrations from the engine from being directly transmitted to the vehicle body.

How often should the air and cabin air filters be replaced?

Air and cabin air filters should be replaced approximately every 15,000 kilometers and every 10,000 kilometers or six months, respectively. The air filter is installed in the engine compartment to filter dust and particles entering the engine, ensuring the engine can intake fresh, clean air properly. This prevents sand and dust from entering the cylinders, causing wear and tear, and ensures the engine operates normally. The cabin air filter is installed near the air conditioning intake, filtering impurities from the outside air entering the cabin. It improves air cleanliness and prevents various contaminants from damaging the air conditioning system, providing a good air environment for passengers.
