Parking without turning off the engine requires different gears depending on the situation: 1. For automatic transmission models: If the driver is in the car, shift to N (Neutral) gear and engage the handbrake; if the driver is not in the car, engage the handbrake and shift to P (Park) gear. If the vehicle has an automatic start-stop system and the stop is very brief (e.g., waiting at a traffic light), simply keep the gear in D (Drive) and press the brake pedal. 2. For manual transmission models, shift to neutral and either press the brake pedal or engage the handbrake. The car gears include: 1. P (Park) gear: After parking the car, engaging P gear prevents the vehicle from moving; 2. R (Reverse) gear: This gear can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary; 3. N (Neutral) gear: Used for temporary parking, but should not be used when going downhill; 4. D (Drive) gear: Used for forward movement, with gear shifts controlled by the accelerator pedal.

How to Adjust the Headlight Height of a Car?

Methods to adjust the headlight height of a car: 1. If there is a headlight height adjustment button inside the car, simply use the button to adjust; 2. If there is no headlight height adjustment button inside the car, you need to open the engine hood and adjust through the headlight assembly by turning the adjustment screws at the back of the headlight for mechanical adjustment; 3. Have a person about 180cm tall stand in front of the car, about 7.6 meters away, then turn on the low beam. The light should be just above the knees but below the hips. If it's above the hips, it's too high and needs to be lowered. If the car owner doesn't know how to do it, it's recommended to go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to have a technician adjust it.

What Causes the Air Conditioning Not to Cool at Vehicle Idle?

The reasons why the air conditioning does not cool at vehicle idle are: 1. The expansion valve is damaged, preventing the formation of high pressure in the system before the expansion valve, and the high-pressure refrigerant cannot reach the pressure of 150Kpa, which causes the evaporator behind the expansion valve to fail to cool down; 2. Internal wear of the air conditioning compressor, resulting in the pressure between the air conditioning compressor and the expansion valve not reaching 150kpa to 200Kpa, causing the refrigerant in the system to not circulate normally. The solution to the air conditioning not cooling at vehicle idle is: add refrigerant along with fluorescent dye, after using the vehicle for a period of time, inspect the air conditioning system with a dedicated fluorescent lamp. If there is a leak point, it will glow, and the leaking parts and components can be repaired or replaced.

How often should car tires be replaced?

Car tires should be replaced every 5 years or 80,000 kilometers. The longer the tires are used, the higher the risk of tread deformation or blowouts. To extend the lifespan of the tires, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. Generally, front tires wear out faster than rear tires, so rotating them ensures more even wear and prevents the front tires from becoming unusable due to excessive wear. Precautions for tire use: 1. Regularly check tire pressure to ensure it is neither too high nor too low; 2. Frequently inspect the wear condition of the tires; 3. Promptly remove small stones and other foreign objects from the tires.
