Car P gear is the parking gear. This gear is used when parking. When you step on the brake to stop the vehicle, engage this P gear, which will lock the wheels and prevent the car from moving. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms for shifting, which can automatically change gears according to the degree of the accelerator pedal and changes in vehicle speed, while the driver only needs to control the speed by operating the accelerator pedal.

What Causes the Clicking and Shaking During Hard Braking?

Generally speaking, the reasons for clicking and shaking during hard braking are as follows: 1. Sharp screeching sound when braking: When a new car produces a sharp screeching sound during braking, many car owners assume it must be a quality issue with the vehicle. However, this is not necessarily the case. New brake pads and rotors require a break-in period. When braking, if the pads happen to grind against a hard spot (due to the material of the brake pads), this noise can occur, which is completely normal. 2. Dull thudding sound when braking: This situation is often caused by a malfunctioning brake caliper. Issues such as worn slide pins or detached spring plates can prevent the caliper from functioning properly. 3. Hissing or squealing sound when braking: This type of noise is harder to diagnose, as it could stem from various issues with the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. If the noise persists, the first step is to check for a dragging brake. A caliper that fails to retract properly can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pad, leading to abnormal noises under certain conditions.

What are the differences between 20 and 30 engine oils?

The differences between 20 and 30 engine oils are as follows: 1. Different viscosity: The main difference between 5W-20 and 5W-30 engine oils lies in their high-temperature viscosity. The difference between 5W-20 and 5W-30 is only in the latter number. 5W-20 has lower viscosity (viscosity between 5.6-9.3), which is relatively more fuel-efficient and provides a lighter driving feel, while 5W-30 has higher viscosity (viscosity between 9.3-12.5). 2. Different cold-start performance: The 5W in 5W-30 indicates the cold-start performance of the engine oil. Using engine oil with a lower value before the W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. 3. Different upper and lower limit values: The upper and lower limit values for 20 engine oil are 5.6-9.3, while those for 30 engine oil are 9.3-12.5.

How Much Difference Between MIIT Comprehensive Fuel Consumption and Actual Fuel Consumption?

How much difference between MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption and actual fuel consumption is considered based on comprehensive factors. The following is a brief explanation of the difference between MIIT fuel consumption and actual fuel consumption: 1. Based on actual road conditions. MIIT fuel consumption is the actual value obtained under very ideal road conditions. To achieve MIIT fuel consumption, vehicles can basically only achieve it on uncongested highways. 2. Based on factors such as engine displacement, transmission tuning, and vehicle weight. Factors such as engine displacement, transmission tuning, and vehicle weight are considered in the answer. Higher engine displacement, heavier vehicle weight, and poor road conditions will result in much higher actual fuel consumption, so this needs to be answered based on different levels, vehicle series, etc. Summary: From these perspectives, the MIIT fuel consumption of a car can be used as a reference when purchasing a vehicle, because it is generally difficult for ordinary vehicles to achieve the MIIT fuel consumption value.

Is the Highway Free on Mid-Autumn Festival?

Highways are not free during the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the "National Annual Holidays and Memorial Days Regulations," the free passage period applies to four national statutory holidays: the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day. During these periods, small passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats) can enjoy free passage, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is not included in the free passage policy. Below are the main features of the holiday highway free passage policy: 1. The main policies are largely the same: The local rules for holiday highway free passage that have been issued almost uniformly follow the standards set by the Ministry of Transport's emergency notice. All provinces and cities clearly specify that the vehicles eligible for free passage are passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats) traveling on toll roads, as verified by the vehicle registration certificate. Additionally, most of the local implementation rules issued so far generally use the "exit time" as the final checkpoint to determine whether the vehicle qualifies for free passage. 2. Some details vary by region: Due to differences in the proportion of small vehicles and the operational conditions of highways and bridges in different regions, the holiday highway free passage rules have sparked widespread public discussion and speculation. In the batch of rules issued yesterday, each region reflected a "tailored to local conditions" standard. 3. Operators are concerned about traffic exceeding capacity.

Early Vehicle Inspection or Stick to the Original Date?

Vehicle annual inspections are based on the registration date shown on the driving license, and can be conducted up to 90 days in advance. Subsequent annual inspections will still follow the registration date on the driving license, not the date of the previous inspection. For all vehicle inspections, whether it's the first time or subsequent ones, the date is always determined by the registration date on the driving license. From the date of registration, the vehicle must undergo inspection. Here are some things to note during the inspection: 1. Keep the vehicle clean and tidy. To make a good first impression on the inspector, it is recommended to wash the vehicle as thoroughly as possible before the inspection. A clean vehicle gives a fresh impression, and minor scratches will be less noticeable, making it easier for the inspector to pass the vehicle. 2. Clear all traffic violations. If there are any outstanding traffic violations on the vehicle, the inspection staff will not proceed with the annual inspection, which can cause significant delays. Make sure to clear all violations before the inspection. 3. Prepare the necessary items to bring. Before the inspection, ensure you have the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory insurance policy, and the driver's ID card. Also, prepare essential items such as a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, reflective vest, and other emergency equipment. If these items are not prepared, you may need to purchase them at designated locations.
