When the car needs to downshift, reduce the speed to a certain level, first lift the accelerator pedal while simultaneously pressing the clutch pedal. When the car needs to accelerate, increase the speed to a certain level, quickly press the clutch pedal with the left foot while releasing the throttle, and shift the gear lever into neutral. Gear shifting should be timely, correct, smooth, and quick.

What is the process of waxing a car?

Wash the car with water once and dry it, then squeeze a small amount of wax onto a sponge. When applying the wax, maintain even pressure with your hand. Hold the sponge between your thumb and little finger, and use your palm and the remaining three fingers to press the sponge for wax application. After applying the wax, let it sit for a few minutes, then use a dedicated wax removal towel to wipe it off. While wiping, use the back of your hand to feel the dryness of the wax. Finally, inspect the car to check for any areas where the wax hasn't been removed, such as the inside of door handles, the inner edges of doors, the inner edges of the trunk, etc.

How to adjust the trunk tension of a Civic?

First, open the car trunk. At the corner of the trunk, use your hand to peel open the rubber strip, then remove the interior trim panel to reveal the position of the tension spring. The tension setting of a new car is usually at the first normal gear. If the opening and closing force of the trunk lid is insufficient, you can adjust the tension to the second or third gear according to your needs. If the trunk hydraulic strut lacks tension, take it to a car repair shop for servicing. The hydraulic strut must not be disassembled, as doing so may cause harm to the body and lead to pollution.

What are the techniques for beginners to straighten the steering wheel?

Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees left and right on the spot to feel the weight of the steering wheel. Align the steering wheel to make 90 degrees light, and rotate one circle to make 90 degrees heavy. After parking, just move slightly forward or backward to determine whether the steering wheel is aligned, and you can make timely adjustments during the movement. When parking, if possible, stick your head out of the window to see if the tires are complete, which makes it easier to align the steering wheel while driving. Whether it's turning the steering wheel half a circle or turning it, there's no need to turn it several times at the right moment; just move the handle logo back to the top.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On in Snowy Weather?

When the tire pressure warning light comes on in snowy weather, you can turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound, then release it. At this point, the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area, and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracking, while generating flexing movements that lead to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord fabric layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.

What to Do When Keyless Start Key is Left in the Car?

Cars usually come with two standard keys. If the key is locked in the car, you can use the spare key. This method results in zero loss. Start with the seal strip on the front left door. Insert a sturdy wire along the door seal strip and use the wire to press the unlock button on the central lock. Use a mobile phone for remote unlocking. This function is generally achieved by connecting the phone to a cloud system, which then transmits a signal to the car to unlock it. Find a nearby locksmith company. Unlocking this way will not cause any damage to the car's components, and there's no need to replace the car lock. Both 4S shops and repair shops can provide special unlocking services, but the car must first be towed to the repair shop.
