It means the parking brake (handbrake) is not released. Below is relevant information about the handbrake and gear shifting: 1. Handbrake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance when the vehicle is parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, whether it's a handbrake or the parking gear in an automatic transmission, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The parking brake exerts significantly less force compared to the service brake, only sufficient to prevent the vehicle from rolling on slopes. 2. Gear Shifting: Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to alter the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of traction and speed for driving wheels under different conditions such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles.

Is it okay to use 92 gasoline regularly and 98 occasionally?

There is no problem with using 92 gasoline regularly and 98 occasionally. It is allowed in emergencies. 98 gasoline has higher anti-knock properties, providing stronger power performance after use. The higher the gasoline octane rating, the greater the compression ratio of the engine it is suitable for, which is an important point to note. The fuel label required for the vehicle is indicated on the fuel tank cap and also noted on the vehicle's driving license. The vehicle must use the specified fuel grade to ensure normal operation and avoid any issues. Occasionally using a higher or lower grade fuel will not cause any problems. Long-term use of lower-grade fuel in a vehicle designed for higher-grade fuel will increase normal maintenance costs for the engine, affect its performance, reduce its lifespan, and cause engine knocking. Different engines must use different fuels, and one should never believe the misconception that higher-grade fuel is cleaner.

What are the model specifications of the drive belt?

Motor belt models are divided into seven types: O-type, A-type, B-type, C-type, D-type, E-type, and F-type, with the cross-sectional area gradually increasing from O-type to F-type. Below are the precautions for motor belts: 1. When purchasing belts: The selected model should match the chosen V-belt; otherwise, the V-belt may exhibit abnormal conditions in the pulley groove. When replacing V-belts, it is best to bring the old belt to purchase to avoid model errors. 2. When replacing belts: If two or more V-belts need to be replaced, use the specified model of V-belts and ensure that the tension of each group of V-belts is consistent. Mixing old and new belts or reducing the number of belts is not allowed. Otherwise, the old and new V-belts will bear uneven force, and the old V-belts may even become ineffective, affecting power transmission and shortening the lifespan of the V-belts.

Do 4S shops repair tires?

Most 4S shops do not repair tires. Here are the tire repair methods: 1. Cold and hot patching: The cold patching method uses cold patching film and glue to cover the holes on the original airtight layer. Since it is repaired directly without heating, it is called cold patching. The hot patching method also uses the above tools, but ensures the correct bonding of the adhesive under heating conditions. However, high temperatures may have some unnecessary effects on the tire rubber. 2. External patching strips for repair: This method can only repair small nail holes and is very convenient, but the service life is not long, and it will heat up and soften to prevent gas inside the tire from leaking through the nail holes. 3. Tire repair machine for repair: This is generally a tire repair and inflation all-in-one machine, which can avoid tire replacement, but it is generally only suitable for small nail holes.
