These are the gears of an automatic transmission car. R stands for Reverse, D for Drive, N for Neutral, and S for Sport mode. Here is a detailed introduction to these gears: 1. R gear: Reverse gear, used when you need to reverse. However, make sure the car has come to a complete stop before shifting to R gear. 2. D gear: Drive gear. The number of forward gears corresponds to the number of gears the car has. For example, a common 6-speed automatic transmission has six forward gears, excluding N and R gears. 3. N gear: Equivalent to the neutral gear in a manual transmission, used for short waits, such as at traffic lights. Shift to N gear and apply the handbrake. 4. S gear: Sport mode, where the engine shifts gears only when the RPM exceeds 3000 or 4000, providing the car with greater horsepower and torque.

How Often Should Rear Brake Discs Be Replaced?

Generally, front brake discs need to be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while rear brake discs require replacement at around 100,000 kilometers. Additional information: Brake disc replacement timing: Replacing brake discs does not necessarily require replacing the brake pads. If the brake pads still have significant thickness, you can replace the brake discs without changing the pads. However, this depends on the situation. Typically, brake discs need to be replaced once for every two sets of brake pads. When the combined groove depth on both sides of the brake disc exceeds 3 millimeters or the edges of the disc become sharp, it's time to replace them promptly. Factors affecting brake disc wear: The replacement interval for brake discs is heavily influenced by driving conditions and habits. Frequent braking in urban or mountainous areas accelerates wear, shortening the replacement cycle. Conversely, highway driving with less frequent braking naturally extends the service life.

What is the proper position for adjusting the right rearview mirror?

When adjusting the right rearview mirror, to minimize the sky's share of the visible space, the horizon should be positioned at two-thirds of the mirror's height. Then, adjust the edge of the car body to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image. The specific adjustment method is as follows: First, sit in the driver's seat with your usual driving posture. Operate the mirror control button to move the left rearview mirror vertically until the sky and ground each occupy about half of the mirror's view. Then, adjust the mirror horizontally. Adjust it so that the rear of the car occupies about one-fourth of the mirror (try not to exceed one-fourth). The right rearview mirror can be adjusted similarly to the left one. This allows you to observe both the driving path of distant vehicles behind you and the situation at the rear of the car when reversing. If you cannot see the rear wheels when reversing, you can purchase a pair of small round mirrors and attach them to a suitable position on the rearview mirror.

How Deep Water Can Cause Engine Water Intake?

For ordinary sedans, the height of the exhaust pipe from the ground is 20 to 30 centimeters, while for SUV models, it is 30 to 40 centimeters. As long as the water level does not exceed half the height of the tires, the engine will not be submerged. Below is relevant information: 1. Assessing water conditions: Areas with waves and whirlpools are likely to have large rocks or other obstacles, while calm water surfaces usually indicate deeper water. Places with uniform small waves typically have a smoother road surface underneath, making them safer to pass through. 2. Determining water depth: If the water level exceeds the position of the exhaust pipe, there is a risk of stalling and water intake. Generally, if the water depth does not exceed half the height of the wheel, driving slowly and carefully through the water should not pose any problems.

Will the coating be washed off after car washing?

Car washing will not wash off the coating. Here is the relevant information: 1. The car coating has anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects: The car coating has anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects. After application, it forms a hard inorganic (silicon dioxide glass crystal) coating layer on the car paint surface, which tightly combines with the car paint, improves the hardness and smoothness of the paint surface, completely isolates the paint surface from the air, and will never fall off without external force. 2. Super water repellency: The hard non-organic (glass crystal) film layer surface treated with fluorine has super water repellency, which makes the water shrink into water droplets and slide off the car body instantly, effectively preventing the formation of scale.

Where is the button to adjust the mirrors?

The electric rearview mirror adjustment button is located on the door to the left of the driver's seat. Here is the relevant information: 1. Rearview mirror adjustment button: After getting into the car, the driver should first locate the rearview mirror adjustment button on the left side of the steering wheel. 'L' represents the left rearview mirror, and 'R' represents the right rearview mirror. The four arrows (up, down, left, right) indicate the four directions for adjusting the mirrors. 2. Important notes: While driving, it is essential to 'keep your eyes on the road and your ears open.' On one hand, you need to focus on observing the road ahead; on the other hand, you should use your peripheral vision to monitor the left, right, and rear of the vehicle through the rearview mirrors. Gathering comprehensive information from all directions ensures driving safety.

What are the reasons for a sudden stall in an electronically injected diesel vehicle?

Electronically injected engines may stall suddenly due to the following reasons:1. Fuel pump failure: A stuck or malfunctioning fuel pump can cause sudden fuel supply interruption, leading to vehicle stalling.2. Use of substandard fuel: Automatic transmission vehicles generally do not stall easily. If stalling occurs, the primary cause is often the use of substandard (non-compliant) fuel, resulting in engine carbon buildup and subsequent stalling.3. Simultaneous multi-cylinder failure: This could be due to spark plug or ignition coil failures, causing one or more cylinders to misfire, leading to stalling. However, stalling only occurs when multiple cylinders fail to ignite simultaneously, making this scenario possible but relatively unlikely.
