The correct sequence for parking a manual transmission car is: 1. Turn on the right or left turn signal; 2. Gently press the brake to reduce speed, observe the right rearview mirror, and drive to the right; 3. When the speed is relatively low, press the clutch pedal, and pay attention to the surrounding distance when parking; 4. After the car comes to a complete stop, shift the gear to neutral, turn off the turn signal, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine. The steps for starting a manual transmission car are: 1. Press the clutch pedal all the way down; 2. Move the gear lever to engage the first gear; 3. Lightly press the turn signal lever downward to activate the left turn signal, indicating to the front and rear of the vehicle; 4. Press the horn button to alert pedestrians in front of the vehicle that you are about to start; 5. Release the vehicle's handbrake; 6. Lift the left foot until the clutch is in a semi-engaged state, and the vehicle begins to vibrate slightly; 7. The vehicle starts to move, release the clutch and gently press the accelerator.

Parking is something I'm quite experienced with. Manual transmissions are most afraid of rolling and damaging the gearbox. First, I press the brake to bring the car to a complete stop, then press the clutch pedal all the way down with my left foot and shift into neutral. At this point, don't rush to turn off the engine—pull up the handbrake to ensure the car doesn't move at all. Then, slowly release the foot brake; even if you feel the car settle a bit, it's fine. After that, release the clutch pedal. Here's the key point—when parking on a slope, after shifting into neutral and pulling the handbrake, engage first gear or reverse gear, acting like an extra mechanical lock for the car. Finally, turn off the AC and radio before shutting off the engine—this helps the battery last two years longer. Make this a daily parking habit, and it could save your life in an emergency stop someday.

What are the reasons for the car wipers not moving?

Reasons for car wipers not moving: If you are in a cold region like Northeast China, first check if the wipers are frozen. If not, it could be due to a damaged wiper motor. If they are frozen, do not force the wipers to start, as this may burn out the wiper motor. Instead, thaw them with warmth before use. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. It is important to note that the wiper switch should not be turned on when the windshield is dry. If you need to test the wipers, wet the glass with water first to avoid scratching the glass. Additionally, due to the high friction resistance of the wiper blades, forcing them to operate on a dry surface may damage the blades or burn out the wiper motor.
