In an automatic transmission car, N stands for Neutral. This gear is used when starting the car, towing, or during temporary stops (such as at a red light). Precautions for using the gears in an automatic transmission car are as follows: 1. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear, and the shift lever must be depressed with the brake pedal when shifting out of P gear. 2. When switching between N and D gears, there is no need to press the shift button, and shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear does not require pressing the shift button. 3. Never shift into N gear while driving to coast, as the automatic transmission requires lubrication, and when the gear is placed in N while driving, the oil pump cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and result in complete damage. 4. Never push into P gear while driving an automatic transmission car. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears must be done only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

What kind of paint is the black color on the Baojun 560?

The black color on the Baojun 560 is achieved using carbon nano baking paint. Standard Paint: Standard paint is the most common type of car paint, representing the most basic and simplest process. Most single-color cars in white, red, or yellow typically use standard paint. Its composition includes resin, pigment, and additives. In the car paint manufacturing process, standard paint is a single-stage application. Due to the absence of mixing with other materials, it is more cost-effective and simpler to produce. Maintenance and touch-ups are also less complicated. However, being purely single-color, standard paint lacks the dazzling, crystal-like luster of other paint types. Additionally, standard paint tends to have a softer surface hardness compared to other paints, making it more prone to chipping when struck by stones. Metallic Paint: Metallic paint, also known as metal flake paint, typically incorporates metal powders such as aluminum or copper into the paint base. When light hits these metal particles on the car's surface, it reflects through the clear coat, creating a sparkling metallic effect. In the painting process, metallic paint is a two-stage application, requiring a clear coat to be sprayed over the metallic base to achieve the desired gloss and hardness.
