When driving, you may occasionally encounter unexpected situations. If the engine stalls or the battery is dead, preventing normal startup, you may have no choice but to call a tow truck. However, forcibly towing the vehicle while in the P (Park) position can cause severe damage to the transmission. In such cases, it is necessary to shift the transmission into neutral. Before unlocking, you must engage the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling after unlocking. Usage methods: 1. First method: There is a red handle above the battery compartment in the trunk. Below the front cup holder in the vehicle, remove the rubber mat and open the cover to reveal a square opening. Insert the red specialized tool and rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to perform an emergency unlock. 2. Second method: For vehicles without an emergency unlock tool or a square opening, the unlocking mechanism is located on the transmission. Remove the transmission underguard, and on the right side of the transmission, there is a hex socket screw. Tighten the hex socket screw with a tool, and the screw will push open the neutral unlocking mechanism on the transmission, shifting it into neutral. 3. Third method: If the engine does not start but the starter motor is turning, you can activate the electronic emergency unlocking device for the transmission.

How to Solve Uneven Tire Wear on Cars?

Solutions for uneven tire wear on cars: 1. Perform wheel alignment: Inaccurate wheel alignment, such as incorrect toe adjustment, can cause uneven tire wear. The front wheels tilt slightly inward at an angle similar to pigeon toes. If the angle is too large or improperly adjusted, uneven tire wear will occur. In this case, wheel alignment is needed to solve the problem. 2. Adjust tire pressure: Excessive tire pressure not only affects ride comfort but also causes the middle of the tire to wear unevenly. On the other hand, insufficient tire pressure can damage the tire, even the wheel hub, and lead to uneven wear on both sides of the tire. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the tire pressure according to the manufacturer's recommended value. Additionally, to reduce uneven tire wear caused by abnormal tire pressure, check the tire pressure at least once a month. 3. Replace old tires: When tires are severely worn, replacing only one or two tires will result in different friction levels among the four tires, which can also cause uneven wear. 4. Replace high-quality wheel hubs: When a wheel hub is deformed, it can also lead to uneven tire wear, and the hub should be replaced. The cause of hub deformation may be continued driving with insufficient tire pressure. 5. Replace rubber bushings: If all tires show regular wear on the same side, it indicates that the thrust rod rubber bushing is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Can the engine be directly washed with water?

Yes, but it is not recommended to wash the engine directly with water. Specific measures: 1. Use a damp cloth to clean dust and oil stains on the engine surface as much as possible, while removing leaves and other debris inside the engine compartment to keep it tidy. 2. Try to avoid washing the engine with water. For an engine compartment that has not been cleaned for a long time and is particularly dirty, it is best to seal various electrical components in the engine compartment. Precautions for cleaning a car engine are as follows: 1. Water pressure should not be too high: Since there are various wires and electronic components in the engine compartment, if the water pressure is too high, slightly damaged wires can cause a short circuit, which may burn out the fuse in minor cases or even destroy the entire circuit board in severe cases, with very serious consequences. 2. Avoid washing with water when the engine is hot: Cleaning the engine when it is at a high temperature may cause the engine to suddenly cool down, which could lead to cylinder deformation or cracking in severe cases. Moreover, washing at high temperatures can produce a large amount of steam, which may affect the circuits. 3. Take waterproof measures: New cars' engines and circuits have good waterproof functions, so they can be washed directly with water. For vehicles older than three years, do not use a water gun for washing; instead, use a wet cloth for cleaning, and avoid washing the circuits directly, taking appropriate waterproof measures.

What Details Should You Pay Attention to When Buying a Car?

Precautions for buying a car: 1. Be wary of various discounts. 2. Only visit a 4S store if you have a target model in mind. 3. Pay attention to contract details. 4. Choose a suitable price range. Precautions for picking up the car: 1. Visually inspect the car body paint for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. Check for color differences under sufficient sunlight, and open the doors to examine the sheet metal from different angles for smoothness and signs of repair. 2. Check the vehicle's nameplate, located on the driver's side door or in the engine compartment, to ensure the manufacturing date is not too far in the past. Generally, if it exceeds six months, the car might be a stock or demo vehicle. Also, verify that the nameplate information matches the vehicle certification. 3. Inspect the windshield. 4. Open the engine hood to check for cleanliness. If the car has been stored or used for a long time, some areas may show dust or stains. Also, check the engine oil level and other fluid levels. 5. Examine the doors for smooth operation, absence of noise when opening or closing, even gaps between doors and bumpers, and proper door closure. 6. Check the tire manufacturing date, as tires are sourced separately and their dates differ from the car's production date. 7. Sit inside the car to check for strong odors, damaged or heavily stained interiors. 8. Test basic vehicle functions. 9. Test-drive the car, if possible, and observe the engine if allowed to start.
