Car gear dragging is caused by a mismatch between speed and gear position, mostly referring to high gear at low speed. For manual transmission vehicles, driving at high speed with a low gear engaged forcibly reduces the engine speed, leading to decreased power and potential damage to the car. Below are some basic gear shifting knowledge: 1. The gear lever is located on the right side, with most designs being five-speed cars. First gear accelerates to about 10 km/h, for example, speeds from 0 to 10 km/h fall within the first gear range, 10-20 km/h in the second gear range; 20-30 km/h in the third gear range; 30-40 km/h in the fourth gear range; 50 km/h and above in the fifth gear range, with the upper limit depending on the car's horsepower. 2. After shifting to a certain gear, the vehicle can maintain a constant speed without pressing the accelerator. Therefore, the gear is the driving force for the car's movement, while the accelerator is only used to accelerate within the current gear.

Is a purchase tax required when buying a domestically produced car?

Purchasing a domestically produced car requires payment of a purchase tax. Below is detailed information about the vehicle purchase tax: 1. Overview: The purchase tax is a tax levied by tax authorities on the acquisition of specified properties and assets within the taxation framework. The vehicle purchase tax is imposed on entities and individuals purchasing designated vehicles within China, evolving from the vehicle purchase surcharge. 2. Additional Information: Starting from January 1, 2018, the purchase tax rate for consumers buying passenger vehicles with engine displacements of 1.6 liters or below was restored to 10%. Prior to this, the tax rate was 7.5%. For example, purchasing a passenger vehicle priced at 100,000 yuan in 2018 would incur a purchase tax of 8,547 yuan, approximately 2,137 yuan more than the current amount.

Are China VI Standard Vehicles Fuel-Efficient?

China VI refers to vehicles with lower carbon emissions, meaning reduced pollution levels. The China VI emission standard is not directly related to a vehicle's fuel efficiency. Below are different scenarios regarding the fuel consumption of China VI standard vehicles: 1. Slightly higher fuel consumption in practice. Given China's actual conditions, it is highly possible that China VI vehicles may consume more fuel compared to China V emission vehicles of the same displacement and model. 2. Theoretically more fuel-efficient. From a theoretical perspective, higher emission standards imply more advanced engine technologies. Applications of new technologies such as turbocharging, direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, smaller displacement with higher compression ratios, and Atkinson cycle engines allow more complete combustion of the same amount of fuel, resulting in higher combustion efficiency. Theoretically, this should lead to better fuel efficiency, but this remains only a theoretical assumption.

What does a circle with an exclamation mark mean in Volkswagen?

Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside brackets), this represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating brake system failure, all other exclamation marks in the car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. Mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil needs to be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under brackets with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will illuminate. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem lies.

Why Does the Car Make a Squeaking Noise When the Air Conditioner is On?

Here are the reasons for the abnormal noise when the car's air conditioner is on: 1. Air conditioner pump head. This type of fault mainly occurs at the engagement surface of the air conditioner electromagnetic clutch. If the electromagnetic clutch is worn, it can cause abnormal noise. If this is indeed the source of the problem, it is recommended to replace it. 2. Bearing performance. This refers to the compressor clutch bearing. This type of fault source usually occurs only when the air conditioner is operating and is directly related to acceleration. For this vehicle fault phenomenon, it is recommended to go to a repair shop for inspection. Here are the solutions for abnormal noise in the car's air conditioner: 1. Open the air filter cover under the glove compartment on the passenger side, cover it with a gauze bag, start the car, and turn the fan to the highest setting to blow out any foreign objects. Alternatively, go to a repair shop to have high-pressure airflow blow out the foreign objects. 2. Replace the refrigerant.
