The reason why the automatic transmission P gear cannot be released is that the pawl is stuck on the gear. The P gear locking mechanism of an automatic transmission consists of a locking gear, a locking pin, and a set of actuating mechanisms. After shifting into P gear, the cable drives the connecting ball pin. At this time, the working pin slides to make the locking pin pawl engage tightly with the parking gear, and the vehicle's gearshift is locked, making it impossible to pull the gearshift lever. A large torque is formed between the hook head and the pawl, making it difficult to disengage under the external force of the vehicle. The solution to the problem of the automatic transmission lever not being able to be pulled out of P gear is to first start the vehicle, then shift into another gear. Alternatively, press the brake pedal and then switch gears. When parking normally, always make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into P gear, otherwise it is easy to encounter this situation where the P gear cannot be pulled.

What Causes the Left Side to Be Wider and the Right Side Narrower When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Turning the steering wheel too early during right-side reversing causes the wheels to be closer to the corner of the parking space, resulting in a wider left side and a narrower right side. Additional Information: 1. Evaluation Criteria: Failing to follow the designated route or sequence results in disqualification; the vehicle body crossing lines or failing to fully reverse into the space leads to disqualification; exceeding 210 seconds to complete the reversing maneuver results in disqualification; pausing during the maneuver deducts 5 points each time. 2. Types of Reversing: There are three most common types of reversing. The first is the 'non'-shaped reversing into a parking space, commonly seen in large parking lots. The second is the 'straight-line' reversing into a parking space along the roadside, often referred to as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reversing into a parking space.

Here is relevant information about speeding penalties: 1. On regular highways, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning. Although no points or fines are issued, you might still receive a ticket categorized as a "0 points, 0 fine" warning ticket. 2. If the speed exceeds the limit by 15% but is less than 20%, 3 points will be deducted. 3. Exceeding the limit by 20% but less than 50% may result in a 6-point deduction.

Where to Press for Power-Folding Mirrors?

The button for power-folding mirrors is the L/R key on the driver's side door panel. Additional Information: 1. Definition: Power-folding mirrors refer to the feature where both side mirrors can be folded inward when needed. This function is particularly useful for urban roadside parking, as folding the mirrors saves significant space and prevents potential "broken mirror" damage. 2. Benefits: Mirrors with folding capability can retract when passing through narrow passages, improving vehicle maneuverability. When the driver exits the vehicle, folding the mirrors not only protects the mirror surfaces but also reduces parking space requirements, effectively preventing accidental scrapes.

How to Remove the Headlights of a Chevrolet Malibu XL?

The steps for removing the headlights of a Chevrolet Malibu XL are as follows: 1. Unplug the bulb's power connector. When pulling out the bulb's power connector, apply moderate force to avoid loosening the wiring or damaging the bulb plug. 2. After disconnecting the power interface, remove the waterproof cover behind the bulb. The waterproof cover for car lights is mostly made of soft rubber, and some models come with a soft plastic waterproof cover, which is essentially the same. Just apply a little force to remove the waterproof cover. 3. Take the bulb out of the reflector. When removing the bulb, use your fingers to pinch the wire clips on both sides. Once the bulb is loose, pull it outward to remove it.
