There may be an issue with the transmission. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for inspection. Additional information about the P gear is as follows: 1. Definition: The P gear 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. Its purpose is to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope. 2. Purpose: The P gear is a special neutral gear that mechanically locks part of the transmission output shaft to secure the vehicle. Its function is to act as a brake after parking, preventing the vehicle from moving. For practical safety reasons, car manufacturers place the P gear in the first position of the gear shift console and set internal mechanisms to enforce that the car key can only be removed when the gear shift lever is moved to the P gear position. Therefore, the P gear is specifically designed for long-term parking in automatic transmission cars.

What is the minimum ground clearance of a sedan?

The minimum ground clearance of a sedan is between 110 and 150mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and stumps without collision. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher center of gravity reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower center of gravity increases stability. The minimum ground clearance must take into account the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, as well as the possibility that the sedan will not scrape when approaching the edge of a general sidewalk.

How often does a vehicle need an annual inspection?

The frequency of annual vehicle inspections varies by vehicle type: 1. Small private passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first six years, but still require applying for an environmental protection label every two years; 2. Non-commercial small passenger vehicles need inspection every two years for the first six years, then annually from the 7th to 15th year; 3. Non-commercial medium/large passenger vehicles and trucks require annual inspection for the first ten years, then semi-annually from the 11th year onward; 4. Commercial vehicles need annual inspection for the first five years, then semi-annually from the 6th year onward. Important notes: Never exceed the inspection deadline - driving with an expired inspection is prohibited and may result in vehicle impoundment if caught by police, along with penalty points and fines when completing late inspection. Additionally, always check for any outstanding traffic violations before inspection, as unresolved violations will cause inspection failure.

What to Do When the Wiper Makes Noise While Wiping the Windshield?

Car wiper noise while wiping the windshield and solutions are as follows: 1. Wiper aging: Due to aging, the rubber part of the wiper may wear off or fall off, causing noise during wiping due to friction. Wiper aging is a normal phenomenon, and it can be resolved by timely replacement. 2. Dry windshield: Using the wiper on a dry windshield without water can lead to noise due to lack of lubrication. Generally, avoid using the wiper on a dry windshield, as it accelerates wear and shortens the wiper's lifespan. 3. Debris on the windshield: If there are hard impurities like sand or small stones on the windshield, they can cause noise due to friction when the wiper operates. In such cases, clean larger debris from the windshield beforehand.
