Manual car P gear is the parking gear. The gears of a manual transmission car include D gear, P gear, R gear, and N gear. D gear: Also known as the drive gear. When the gear shift lever is placed in this position, the hydraulic system control device automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on the throttle opening signal and vehicle speed signal. P gear: It is the most common gear in automatic transmission models, usually located at the frontmost position of the gear shift console, in front of the R gear, aiming to lock the axle through the gear when the car is stationary on a slope. R gear: It means the vehicle is in reverse gear at this time. When the lever is placed in this position, the reverse gear oil circuit of the hydraulic system is connected, the drive wheels reverse, and reverse driving is achieved. Usually, the safety button on the lever must be pressed to move the lever to the "R" gear. N gear: It is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission models, located between the R gear and D gear on the gear shift console. Its essence is the neutral gear in the transmission, aiming to cut off the power transmission between the input shaft and the output shaft inside the transmission.

Why does the engine vibrate when the car is idling?

Car idling vibration may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Dirty throttle valve: When the car is started, the engine is in an idling state, and air needs to continuously pass through the throttle valve into the cylinders to mix with gasoline for combustion. If the throttle valve is too dirty, it will reduce the air intake into the intake manifold. When this air intake fails to meet the normal air-fuel ratio, it will cause engine vibration. 2. Excessive carbon deposits inside the engine: When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. 3. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils: If spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, the electrode gap may become too large, affecting the ignition timing. This not only causes engine vibration but also increases fuel consumption. 4. Unstable oil pressure: It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. If the fuel pump supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor values are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can cause body vibration. In this case, check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the new Volkswagen Sagitar?

The cabin air filter in the new Sagitar is located on the passenger side, beneath the glove compartment near the center console. The method for replacing the cabin air filter is as follows: 1. First, open the glove compartment lid. 2. Locate the fixing clip on the right side of the glove compartment and pull it outward firmly. 3. Remove the fixing clip of the glove compartment lid to detach it. 4. Squeeze both sides of the glove compartment toward the center with both hands, and the glove compartment can then be removed. Additional information: The cabin air filter is used to filter the quality of indoor or outdoor intake air. In contrast, the engine air filter refers to the engine intake system, which filters the quality of the engine intake pipe. The two serve different functions. Generally, the engine air filter replacement cycle depends on air quality and mileage, while the cabin air filter should be replaced annually or every 20,000 kilometers.

Does the new Bora have anti-collision beams?

The new Bora is equipped with anti-collision beams. This model has anti-collision beams installed inside the front bumper, all four doors, and the rear bumper. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The function of the anti-collision beam is to absorb and mitigate external impacts or protect the front and rear parts of the vehicle body. 2. The anti-collision beam is a U-shaped channel pressed from cold-rolled steel plates, connected to the longitudinal beams of the vehicle frame, serving as the first barrier of passive safety for the car. 3. Anti-collision beams are divided into front and rear anti-collision beams. The front anti-collision beam is generally connected to the longitudinal beams of the vehicle body to protect components such as the radiator at the rear.

What is the maximum steering angle of tires?

Generally, the steering angle of a car is between 30 and 40 degrees. The steering angle of a minivan is basically 30 to 34 degrees, while that of a sedan or SUV is 40 degrees. The steering angle of a car is related to its actual size and the load-bearing chassis. Below is some relevant information: 1. The steering angle of a car refers to the angle formed by the center line when the front wheels are turned to the left or right to their extreme positions without causing the front wheels to deflect. 2. With the development of the automotive industry, competition in the axle industry has become increasingly fierce. To meet the requirements of downstream manufacturers for the production precision of axle products, automated non-contact testing equipment has replaced the traditional manual testing methods, comprehensively improving product quality and enhancing market competitiveness for customers. The axle toe-in steering angle tester uses a non-contact optical measurement method to replace the original mechanical testing tooling in factories, enabling rapid detection of the toe-in angle of axles.
