Vehicle electronic gear shift refers to the computer-assisted gear shifting, where only a signal needs to be sent. Most electronic gear shifts are found in automatic transmission models. The method of using an electronic gear lever is as follows: 1. When parking, press the P button on top of the gear lever to light up the P letter, engaging the parking gear; 2. Pull the gear lever backward once to light up the D indicator, and after engaging D gear, the electronic gear lever automatically rebounds; 3. When the transmission is in D gear mode, pull the gear lever backward once to light up the M indicator, switching to manual mode; 4. When in D or R gear, push the gear lever in the opposite direction of the current gear to light up the N indicator, engaging neutral gear at this time; 5. Hold down the unlock button on the left side of the gear lever and push the gear lever forward to light up the R indicator, engaging reverse gear.

What is the penalty standard for hill start?

Penalty standards for hill start: 1. Scoring criteria for hill parking: After parking, if the right side of the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the roadside line, 10 points will be deducted; if more than 50 cm, 100 points will be deducted; crossing or touching the line results in a 100-point deduction. If the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line after parking, and the deviation is within 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted; if the deviation exceeds 50 cm, 100 points will be deducted. Failure to tighten the parking brake results in a 10-point deduction. 2. Scoring criteria for hill start: Failure to complete the start within 30 seconds results in a 100-point deduction; stalling once during start-up deducts 10 points; if the gear is not in neutral or parking gear when starting the engine, 100 points will be deducted. If the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during start-up, 10 points will be deducted; if the rollback exceeds 30 cm, 100 points will be deducted.

Can a Water-Soaked Car Still Be Driven?

A water-soaked car cannot be driven if the engine has taken in water. Below is an introduction about the engine: 1. Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. 2. History: The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling in the UK (Scotland) in 1816, which was later improved by Watt into the steam engine. 3. Applicability: Engines can be used as power generation devices or refer to the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Their types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, etc.

What is the Mnemonic for Light Operation?

The mnemonic for light operation is as follows: Low beam operations are numerous, specifically including: Narrow bridges or roads with oncoming traffic, straight through intersections with streetlights; Following another vehicle closely in the same direction, driving under good lighting conditions. High beams should be used sparingly and cautiously, only when there is poor lighting and no streetlights. Pay attention to alternating between high and low beams, switching lights at night: Sharp curves, slopes, and arch bridges, overtaking and passing pedestrian crossings; Intersections without traffic lights, flashing high and low beams to alert pedestrians and vehicles. There are also three special situations where you must remember to turn on the hazard lights: Driving in fog with fog lights, parking due to a fault with position lights. Correct methods and timing for using lights: Night driving: Alternate between high and low beams. Driving in fog: Turn on the width marker lights, front and rear fog lights, and hazard lights. In case of a breakdown: Turn off the headlights and turn on the width marker lights and hazard lights. Correctly turning on lights when driving at night. Correctly use low beams when following another vehicle closely in the same direction. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, pedestrian crossings, or intersections without traffic lights, correctly alternate between high and low beams to signal. When meeting another vehicle, correctly switch to low beams when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away. Correctly use low beams when turning at intersections. When overtaking, correctly alternate between high and low beams to alert the vehicle being overtaken. Correctly use low beams when driving on well-lit roads with streetlights. Correctly use high beams when driving on unlit roads at speeds exceeding 30 kilometers per hour. Correctly use lights when driving in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or snow.

What to Do If the Disc Brake Piston Does Not Fully Retract?

First, determine whether the issue lies with the piston or the sealing ring. 1. Retraction Principle: The disc brake piston retracts using the negative pressure generated by the master cylinder. As for the sealing ring, it relies on tension for sealing, but the minimal gap is primarily ensured by the precision of the machining between the pump body and the piston. If the gap is too large, the sealing will fail. 2. Piston Rust: The cause is rust formation on the piston due to water ingress or corrosion under natural conditions, preventing normal retraction. You can remove the piston from the slave cylinder by 5-10mm and spray rust remover or use fine sandpaper wrapped around the piston, rotating it several times. 3. Sealing Ring Aging: If the rectangular rubber sealing ring is aged, swollen—or if the piston is smooth but difficult to press back—consider issues like aging, swelling, or deformation of the sealing ring. The rectangular rubber sealing ring must be replaced.

Can You Still Drive If the Transmission Gets Flooded?

You should not continue driving if the transmission gets flooded. Water primarily enters the transmission through the vent hole, as the transmission is not completely sealed, allowing water to directly infiltrate. Additionally, during operation, if the transmission encounters cold water and the water level is high, water can be sucked in through the vent hole. Related information: 1. Immediate Oil Circulation and Replacement: Once the transmission is flooded, it must be sent to a specialized transmission repair shop within 24 hours for oil circulation and replacement. If more than 24 hours have passed but less than 48 hours, disassembly and cleaning are required. Continued use under these conditions, with the transmission gears churning in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, will cause the mixture of water and oil to strip internal components of their protective oil film. 2. Report for Repair: After 48 hours, transmission components will oxidize and develop rust. If these rusted parts are not promptly replaced, the resulting rust can further clog the oil passages, leading to minor issues like gear shift hesitation or slipping, or severe problems such as transmission burnout. Therefore, it is recommended to report for repair immediately after flooding to avoid greater losses.
