The correct method for parking a manual transmission car on a steep slope: Press the clutch pedal, step on the foot brake to turn off the engine, engage first gear when on an uphill slope or reverse gear when on a downhill slope, pull the handbrake tightly, then slowly release the clutch and foot brake. The method for starting a manual transmission car on a steep slope: When the car starts to move forward, keep the clutch pedal still to allow the car to start smoothly, then slowly release the clutch pedal until it is fully engaged. The hill start assist system can effectively prevent the car from rolling back and make hill starts smoother. For cars equipped with a hill start assist system, when starting on a slope with the handbrake engaged, first press the start assist switch, release the handbrake, press the clutch pedal with the left foot and engage first gear, then slowly release the clutch while stepping on the accelerator pedal with the right foot.

What is the basis for the alphabetical order of license plate letters in Shandong?

Shandong license plate letters are determined based on the establishment time of municipalities directly under the provincial government within Shandong Province. For example, Jinan City, as a provincial municipality and also the first one, is assigned Lu A in the license plate letter ranking. Qingdao, as the second provincial municipality, is assigned Lu B for vehicle license plates. By 1991, Shandong Province had a total of 11 provincial municipalities and five regions. Among them, the license plate letters for the 11 provincial municipalities were arranged according to the establishment time of these municipalities. With the increase in urban vehicles, one letter representing one provincial municipality was no longer sufficient. Currently, Shandong Province uses Lu U as a supplement for Qingdao license plates and Lu Y as a supplement for Yantai license plates.

How does a CVT achieve reverse gear?

R gear is the reverse gear, and a CVT transmission has a planetary gear set placed at the input or output end of the continuously variable transmission mechanism. By controlling this planetary gear set, the switching between P, R, N, and D gears can be achieved, enabling reverse gear. Information about CVT is as follows: 1. CVT usually refers to a type of automotive transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission. The difference between a CVT and a stepped transmission is that its gear ratio is not a series of discrete points but a continuous range of values, resulting in excellent fuel economy, power performance, and smooth driving experience, while also reducing emissions and costs. 2. In a CVT transmission system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley is actually a V-shaped structure composed of two conical discs. The engine shaft connects to the small pulley, which drives the large pulley via the steel belt.
