What gear should an automatic transmission use when crossing water?

When driving an automatic transmission vehicle through water, the correct method is to engage the L gear or manually select the 1st gear in a manual-automatic transmission. While crossing, lightly press the accelerator to maintain the engine speed around 2000 RPM. Below is an introduction to the automatic transmission gears: 1. P (Park): The parking lock position. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the drive wheels are mechanically locked. The gear lever can only be moved to this position when the vehicle is completely stopped. To move the gear lever out of this position, the brake pedal must be pressed, and the ignition switch must be turned on. 2. R (Reverse): The reverse position. Move the gear lever to this position when reversing. The gear lever can only be moved to this position when the vehicle is completely stopped. 3. N (Neutral): The neutral position. When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission does not engage any gear. No power is transmitted to the wheels in this position, and the engine braking function cannot be utilized. 4. D (Drive): The driving position (normal shifting program). When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within the engine speed range. The shift points depend on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed. 5. S (Sport): The driving position (sport shifting program). When the gear lever is moved to this position, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within a higher engine speed range compared to D gear, making full use of the engine's power. The shift points depend on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed.

What is the reason for the abnormal noise and lack of power when accelerating in FAW J6?

Lack of power is due to insufficient fuel supply or issues with the fuel tank. The abnormal noise during acceleration is the sound from the drive shaft. Below is a related introduction to the FAW J6: Introduction: The FAW J6 is a commercial vehicle independently developed by FAW Jiefang, featuring reliability, economy, power, safety, and comfort. It is divided into two major series based on the cab: 2250 and 2490, covering a full range of products from 8 to 24 tons, with power ranging from 130 to 460 horsepower. Appearance: In terms of appearance, the gap in the bumper has been reduced to enhance the overall sense of unity. The J6's headlights still adopt a modular design, dynamic and stylish, exuding a bold presence, though the overly extended edges might be a bit too flamboyant.

What is the reason why Roewe car cannot start?

Roewe car cannot start for the following reasons: Gasoline problems: The fuel pump pressure is reduced, and the oil pressure is insufficient. Poor quality gasoline is added, resulting in poor oil quality (containing too many impurities and water). In this case, the fuel tank and oil pipes need to be cleaned. The weather is too hot, the fuel tank is too full, thermal expansion and contraction occur, and air resistance is generated in the oil pipe. In this case, just wait for the fuel pump to continue working to push out the air resistance, and the car can start. That is to say, try starting the car again after a while. Vehicle malfunction: Apart from gasoline reasons, it is the vehicle's own malfunction. There are many reasons involved in this aspect, such as: the battery is dead. The car gear is not in the correct position. The oil circuit is blocked. The fuel pump is damaged. The car is aging. The spark plug has a problem.

What is the maximum wading depth of the BYD Han?

According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the BYD Han is 250mm. Common tire specifications are 245/45R19, with a body length of 4980mm, and it is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. Maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a car can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 30 cm, while SUVs have a higher wading depth, but it is still best not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 cm, the Audi A4 has 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90 cm, the Jeep Compass has 48 cm, and the Highlander has 45 cm. SUVs clearly have a higher maximum wading depth than sedans. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the depth and the car's specifications, as follows: If the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is relatively safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside is sufficient to expel the water, as long as the engine is not turned off in the water, preventing water from flowing back into the vehicle. If the wading depth reaches the height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly concentrated at the bottom of the car, which could lead to circuit failures, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions could cause the vehicle to stall immediately, leading to permanent engine damage or rendering it unusable.

Is it serious if a car tire gets stuck with many small stones?

It is serious. The longer you drive, the tighter the stones will get stuck, making it difficult to clean them out, which may cause sharp parts to scratch the tire. If there are fewer small stones in the tire, you can use a screwdriver or a right-angle tool to pick them out one by one. If there are more small stones, deflate the tire and then tap it, so the stones will fall off automatically. The tire is one of the important components of a car, and its condition often affects driving safety. More details are as follows: 1. The role of the tire: The tire is one of the important components of a car, and its condition often affects driving safety. First, the grooves on the tire serve a significant purpose. They help drain water during rainy weather, promptly removing accumulated water from the tire surface. 3. The hazards of stuck stones: Secondly, they increase friction with the ground. If there are too many foreign objects like stones on the tire, the probability of skidding increases in rainy weather, and grip is reduced during normal driving, posing safety hazards.

What documents and procedures are required for cross-province transfer of used cars?

For cross-province transfer of used cars, you need to bring the ID cards of both parties, the vehicle registration certificate, the driving license, the engine rubbing number, and the buyer needs to have a local ID card or residence permit. The following is a related introduction about cross-province transfer: 1. Transfer requirements: Be sure to confirm the local receiving requirements first and deal with the vehicle's violations. The time required for cross-province vehicle transfer is relatively long. 2. Cost: The total transfer cost is between 300-800, and the specific cost depends on the vehicle's displacement and the local vehicle management office's policy. 3. Notes: (1) Before purchasing the car, ask clearly about the policy requirements of the destination, mainly the requirements for emission standards and vehicle service life. With the improvement of environmental protection standards, many places have raised the standards for vehicle registration. (2) Verify the procedures and violation handling of the transaction vehicle. Verify whether the vehicle is a regular vehicle, check the rubbing number (engine, frame number), and exclude theft.
