P and the steering wheel symbol button represent the automatic parking function. Below is relevant information about automatic parking: Definition: Automatic parking refers to the car parking itself into a space without manual control. The reason car manufacturers developed vehicles capable of automatic parking is due to recognizing consumer demand. Automatic parking can assist drivers in parking automatically. How it works: After enabling the automatic parking function and driving past an empty parking space at a speed of about 5 km/h, the empty space will be detected and identified by ultrasonic sensors and displayed on the information display panel. When the vehicle continues to move and meets certain reversing conditions, the system will prompt for reversing operations. The driver needs to shift into R gear, then release the brake, and the vehicle will slowly park itself into the space. The entire process does not require holding the steering wheel, but if the reversing speed is too fast or the sensors detect incorrectly, erroneous data may be transmitted back. Without human intervention, this could easily lead to collisions.

As an experienced driver who's been driving automatic transmission cars for years, there's a 'P' position on the gear shift lever near the steering wheel, which stands for Parking gear. Every time I need to park or turn off the engine, I shift to P gear first, so the car is securely locked and won't slide or move. I remember last year when I parked on a slope, I forgot to shift to P gear and almost rolled into a tree – luckily, I reacted quickly and avoided an accident. So, developing the habit of shifting to P position when parking is crucial, especially on slopes or in parking lots. This design is based on safety considerations, and most modern cars have this gear position near the steering wheel for convenient operation. Also, remember to check the gear lever connection during regular car maintenance to avoid stiffness or jamming that might affect its use.

How much longer can China IV vehicles be driven?

At least five years without driving restrictions. Additional information: 1. There will always be a grace period before new policies take effect. After China VI standards are implemented, it will take at least 3 years before driving restrictions are introduced, and according to convention, these should target China III vehicles first. China IV vehicles can still be driven for several more years without issues. 2. China IV and China V vehicles account for nearly 70% of the national vehicle fleet. With China VI vehicles alone unable to meet existing demand, the government won't implement driving restrictions for China IV vehicles in the short term. 3. By the time the government considers mandatory measures for China V and China IV vehicles, these cars will have nearly reached their service life anyway. The average lifespan of a vehicle is only about ten years, so after a decade, these vehicles should naturally be replaced.

Is a First-Hand Car the Same as a New Car?

So-called first-hand cars refer to new vehicles purchased from car dealerships, which come directly from the production line. Below is more related information: Advantages of used cars: 1. Cost-effective Used cars are generally not the latest models on the market and are usually about two years behind. For the same brand and model, buying a used car one or two years later can save you thousands of yuan. Additionally, with rising fuel prices, the cost of commuting continues to increase. If you're on a tight budget and just need a car for daily transportation, buying a used car is a very economical choice. 2. Lower Depreciation Rate Any car, once registered and licensed, depreciates in value every year. Generally, a car loses about 20% of its value after one year, 35% after two years, and up to 50% after three years. According to statistics from Fair Price used car evaluations, the higher the car's original price, the greater the depreciation rate. Buying a used car means someone else is covering the depreciation cost for you. The price of one new car could buy you two good used cars. Even if you sell the used car after a few years, you won't lose much. 3. Less Heartache Over Scratches and Dents Many car buyers are beginners, and due to lack of driving experience and skills, minor scratches and dents on the road are inevitable. With a new car, every scratch might require repainting and maintenance, which can add up to a significant expense. With a used car, even if you get a scratch or dent, the emotional toll is much less. Minor scratches and dents that don't affect the car's overall appearance can be fixed with a major refurbishment or detailing.
