Whether it's an emergency stop, gradual stop, or deceleration, you must first press the brake pedal before depressing the clutch. 1. Braking: Also known as deceleration, it refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force. The braking device is a mechanical deceleration device that can slow down the vehicle speed, also known as a retarder. 2. Reason for depressing the clutch: To prevent the vehicle from stalling due to excessively slow engine speed. Depressing the clutch first would make the vehicle speed up faster because the engine itself has a braking effect. When the brakes fail, engine braking can be used to decelerate.

Can a Car with Dents Pass the Inspection?

Whether a car with dents can pass the inspection depends on the severity of the dents. Generally, minor dents can pass the annual inspection, as the inspection mainly focuses on the safety and modifications of the vehicle. However, if the dents are significant and the damage is extensive, the car may not pass, and the staff will require repairs and maintenance at a 4S shop before returning for re-inspection. Below is an introduction to the vehicle inspection content: 1. Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle records match the current condition, and whether approval and change procedures have been completed; 4. Check whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate markings on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is needed; 5. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is registered is written in imitation Song font on both sides of the door, along with the seating capacity in the cab; for trucks, check whether the rear panel (including the trailer rear panel) is marked with a license plate number enlarged 2-3 times, and whether the word "individual" is written on both sides of the door for privately owned or jointly operated vehicles.

Does Drilling Holes on the Inner Side of the Rear Fender Have Any Impact?

Drilling holes on the inner side of the rear fender has certain negative effects. Below is a detailed introduction about car fenders: 1. Overview: The fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheel, named for its shape and position resembling a bird's wing on older car bodies. Based on installation position, it is divided into front fender and rear fender. The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum space for the front wheel's rotation and movement. 2. Others: The rear fender does not have the issue of wheel rotation interference, but for aerodynamic considerations, it is slightly arched and protrudes outward. The fender is formed as one piece with the outer panel and reinforcement section using resin.

Will an automatic transmission car roll back when parked on a slope?

Automatic transmission is simpler to operate than manual transmission, especially on slopes. Since the automatic transmission is always engaged and won't stall, it's more convenient. However, improper operation can still lead to unavoidable rolling back. Here are some tips to prevent rolling back: 1. Auto Hold function: Automatic transmission cars equipped with this feature won't roll back. Once Auto Hold is activated, the vehicle will stop after braking, making starts and stops very stable. So, Auto Hold is indeed a very useful feature. 2. If there is no Auto Hold: You can switch to manual mode, which prevents gear changes based on RPM and keeps the car in a low gear. This makes starting on a slope easier and reduces the chance of rolling back.
