Automatic transmission car not moving when the brake is released is due to: 1. On very steep slopes, it is normal for an automatic transmission car not to move when the brake is released. Due to inertia, the resistance increases, and the vehicle needs forward power greater than the resistance to move; 2. Some car models have transmission settings where the car won't move without pressing the accelerator, even if the gear is in D. The car will automatically cut off the power connection, equivalent to being in neutral; 3. Malfunction in the transmission system or throttle. Other gears of an automatic transmission car include: 1. P gear is the parking gear, start gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. L gear is the low gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode.

Is Wearing Headphones While Driving Considered a Traffic Violation?

Wearing headphones while driving is not considered a traffic violation. The hazards of making phone calls while driving are as follows: It distracts the driver's attention: Driving requires the driver's full attention. Using a mobile phone distracts the driver's attention, and holding the steering wheel with one hand can easily lead to traffic accidents. It diverts the driver's line of sight: Whether using a handheld or hands-free mobile phone while driving, it reduces the number of times the driver shifts their line of sight and prolongs the time of each shift. This makes it difficult for the driver to promptly notice changes in road conditions, increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents when unexpected situations arise.

Why does the car shake when shifting into P gear for parking?

When the vehicle is parked on a slope and shifted into P gear, it may shake back and forth slightly. In fact, this does not cause damage to the transmission. This occurs because there is a gap between the parking pawl and the parking gear. Due to the mechanical imprecision of the parking pawl, the vehicle may shake slightly back and forth after shifting into P gear and releasing the foot brake. Once the parking pawl engages fully, the vehicle will no longer move. Here is the relevant explanation: The P gear in automatic transmission vehicles is the parking gear, which is essentially an evolution of the N gear. In addition to placing the transmission in neutral mode, the P gear also includes a parking pawl inside the transmission and a parking gear on the power output shaft. When shifted into P gear, the parking pawl and parking gear inside the transmission interlock, thereby fixing the vehicle in place.

Why can't my Polo start?

polo can't start for the following reasons: 1. Steering wheel lock: If you encounter a situation where the car won't start and the key can't be turned, pay attention to whether the steering wheel was not straightened when parking. When the steering wheel is at a slightly larger angle (e.g., more than 30 degrees), it will automatically lock as an anti-theft measure, which may prevent the key from turning and cause ignition failure. 2. Dead battery: The battery, also known as an accumulator, is a type of cell. Leaving headlights on for a long time can drain the battery, or the battery may have reached the end of its lifespan. High-power audio systems, DVD players, etc., can also cause vehicle circuit failures. Checking if the vehicle has no power is simple—just press the horn to find out.
