The difference between starting on flat ground and starting on a slope: Different in nature: After the car engine starts and runs stably on flat ground, the car can start. Starting on a slope is part of the field test for the second subject of the driver's license exam, which involves starting a vehicle parked on a steep slope. Different characteristics: When starting a manual transmission car on a slope, the technique involves first pulling the handbrake, stepping on the accelerator to at least 2000 RPM, then releasing the clutch until it reaches around 1000 RPM. When starting a manual transmission car on flat ground, press the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever to first gear, release the parking brake, and release the clutch pedal following the principle of fast-slow-fast. Use the half-clutch technique while stepping on the accelerator with the right foot, and the car will start smoothly. Different principles: If the engine is about to stall during starting on flat ground, immediately press the clutch pedal to disconnect the power transmission from the engine to the transmission, preventing the engine from stalling, and then restart. For starting on a slope, shift to first gear, release the handbrake, gently release the clutch, and proceed up the slope once the vehicle is stable.

What is the symbol for auto start-stop?

The auto start-stop symbol is a circle with an A inside and an OFF sign below it. Engine start-stop refers to a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving, such as at a red light. When the car needs to move forward again, the system can automatically restart the engine. Here are some related details: Features of start-stop technology: Basic start-stop technology automatically turns off the engine when the car encounters a red light or traffic jam. The engine promptly restarts when the driver releases the brake pedal or presses the clutch (or accelerator pedal). More advanced start-stop systems also feature brake energy recovery, which can convert part of the braking energy into electricity to charge the battery. Function of engine start-stop: It is used when the car is moving at low speeds or making repeated stops. It can automatically shut off the engine to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption and reduce idle time. Less idle time means reduced engine carbon buildup, which benefits both environmental protection and engine lifespan.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Suddenly Stop Moving When Reversing?

There are several possible reasons why an automatic transmission car may stop moving when reversing: Accidental Activation of the Auto Hold Function: This feature enhances safety when waiting at traffic lights or crossing pedestrian crossings by preventing the car from moving without pressing the accelerator. Once the auto hold function is deactivated, releasing the brake will allow the car to move forward or reverse. Electronic Parking Brake Not Released or Improper Gear Engagement: If the electronic parking brake is not released or the gear is not properly engaged, the reverse gear may not function. Releasing the electronic parking brake and adjusting the gear engagement method can resolve this issue. Transmission Problems: Internal transmission faults may occur. First, check if the transmission fluid level is too low and whether the main oil pressure and gear oil pressure are normal. Then, verify if the gear switch signal is normal, if the wiring from the transmission computer to the shift solenoid valve is intact, and if the gear solenoid valve is functioning properly. If all these components are in order, it indicates an issue with the internal control system of the transmission, requiring disassembly to inspect the internal actuators.

What Causes the Engine to Sound Louder When the Car's Air Conditioner is On?

Reasons for the engine sounding louder when the car's air conditioner is on include abnormal noise from the air conditioning pump, dirty throttle valve, and improper tension of the compressor belt. Abnormal Noise from the Air Conditioning Pump: Any issue with either the electromagnetic clutch or the bearings inside the air conditioning pump can cause abnormal noise. Noise from the electromagnetic clutch is mainly due to wear and tear, leading to increased gaps. Noise from the air conditioning pump bearings is primarily caused by insufficient lubrication, which in severe cases can lead to the pump burning out and failing to perform cooling functions. Dirty Throttle Valve: Turning on the air conditioner increases the engine load, requiring the engine to increase the throttle opening to allow more air intake. If the throttle valve has carbon deposits or is stuck, it can cause engine shaking and abnormal noise. Improper Tension of the Compressor Belt: When the tension of the drive belt is incorrect, it can cause abnormal noise in mild cases or damage the air conditioning compressor in severe cases. The principle is that if the drive belt is too loose, the electromagnetic clutch will slip; if the drive belt is too tight, the load on the electromagnetic clutch will increase.
