The correct way to use an automatic transmission is: 1. Start the engine with the gear lever in the P position, then press the brake pedal before shifting from P to other gears; 2. When starting, push the gear lever to a lower gear, and after the speed increases to a certain level, shift to D gear for normal driving; 3. When cruising at high speed on the highway, you can use the OD gear to save fuel. Automatic transmissions are divided into: 1. Stepped transmission; 2. Continuously variable transmission. The maintenance methods for the transmission are: 1. Frequently check the fluid level; 2. Do not skip gears when upshifting; 3. Do not force the transmission into neutral; 4. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time; 5. Avoid gear grinding when shifting.

Why does the vehicle idle shake after replacing new spark plugs?

After replacing new spark plugs, the reasons for vehicle idle shake are: 1. The cylinder wires were broken or damaged when removing the spark plugs, causing abnormal ignition; 2. Incorrect installation of the spark plugs, either not tightened properly or the cylinder wires not inserted correctly; 3. Aging ignition coils leading to decreased performance. Spark plugs are crucial components in the ignition system of gasoline engines, which introduce high voltage into the combustion chamber and create a spark across the electrode gap to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell, with the side electrode welded to the shell.

What is the Scrapping Time for Pickup Trucks?

Pickup trucks are subject to a scrapping time of 15 years or 600,000 kilometers. However, some regions are gradually lifting the 15-year scrapping rule for pickups. For household-use pickups, there is no fixed scrapping period, but they must adhere to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping regulation and comply with the annual inspection requirements for pickups. New pickups are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, but within this period, they must be stamped by the vehicle management office every two years. From the 7th to the 15th year, they require an annual inspection, and after 15 years, a semi-annual inspection. Pickups that fail the annual inspection or exceed 600,000 kilometers must be scrapped. A pickup truck is a light-duty cargo vehicle featuring an open cargo box behind the cab, with the side panels of the cargo box integrated into the cab. It combines a passenger car front with a cargo-carrying rear, serving both passenger and freight purposes.
