Automatic transmission car's L gear refers to the low gear. When shifting into L gear, the transmission is in 1st or 2nd gear, providing the vehicle with strong torque at a relatively low speed. Situations for using L gear include: 1. Climbing steep slopes; 2. Descending long slopes at low speed. Automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Other gears in an automatic transmission are: 1. P gear is the parking gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. D gear is the drive gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode. The parking steps for an automatic transmission car are: 1. After stopping the vehicle, shift to P gear and pull up the handbrake; 2. Press the start button.

Subject 2: The test items include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. 3. Subject 3: Includes: preparation before driving, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 4.

Should Low Beam Headlights Be Turned On When Starting in Snowy Weather?

In snowy or icy weather conditions, low beam headlights should be turned on when starting. Generally, visibility is low during snowy weather, so it is important to use the correct lights: 1. Turn on the fog lights and low beam headlights to help the driver clearly observe the road ahead; 2. Turn on the side marker lights and front/rear position lights to indicate the presence of your vehicle, allowing vehicles in front and behind to see your specific position and driving conditions, making it easier for them to take appropriate measures. Reasons for using low beam headlights in snowy weather: 1. To illuminate the road conditions ahead through thick fog, as fog lights generally have stronger penetration and higher power, brightness, and angle compared to low beam headlights. 2. Snow has strong reflectivity, and using fog lights in such conditions can easily cause glare and reflection, which may impair driving visibility and reduce safety.

What Causes the Noise When Braking in Reverse Gear?

The reasons for abnormal noise when braking in reverse gear include friction noise from the brake disc and noise from the brake caliper bracket. Brake Disc Friction Noise: Brake pads are composed of iron plates, graphite, asbestos, etc. When they rub against the brake disc in reverse, some metal powder is produced, which can cause noise when braking. This is a normal phenomenon. Brake Caliper Bracket Noise: Since the vehicle's brake pads are mounted on the brake caliper bracket, under normal conditions, the brake pads fit tightly against the forward-facing end of the bracket without any gap, so no noise occurs when braking forward. However, noise can occur from the brake caliper bracket when reversing. Solution: Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the contact points between the brake pads and the brake caliper bracket to some extent improve this phenomenon.

Does keeping the natural air on all the time affect the car?

Keeping the natural air on all the time does not affect the car. Here are the relevant details: 1. Natural air: The car can blow air directly without turning on the air conditioning. It is known that the air vents can produce cold and hot air, but they can also blow natural air to ventilate the cabin. This function is an important role of the car's air conditioning system, though it is often overlooked. 2. Principle: The part of the air duct where the airflow is heated or cooled is called the heat exchange box. This box contains an air conditioning evaporator and a heater core. The airflow sent by the blower into the cabin passes through the heat exchange box, where it first goes through the air conditioning evaporator. If the compressor is working, the evaporator will produce cold air to cool the airflow.
