There may be several reasons why an automatic transmission car does not move when the accelerator is pressed: The clutch is not fully engaged; the handbrake is not released; the gear is stuck and not fully engaged; the clutch friction plate is worn out. The correct driving method for an automatic transmission car: Start the engine with the gear lever in P position, and you must press the brake pedal before shifting from P to other gears. When starting, push the gear lever to a lower gear (i.e., 2 or 1, some may have 3), and after the speed increases to a certain level, shift to D gear for normal driving. If cruising at high speed on the highway, you can use the O/D gear to save fuel. When starting, the following points must be noted: Shift gears only after pressing the brake pedal, and check if the gear lever position is correct; when starting over bumps or steps, it is best to press the brake pedal with the right foot, slightly release the right foot while the car is stationary, and slightly press the accelerator pedal at the same time. Lift the right foot immediately after crossing the step and lightly press the brake pedal to prevent severe shaking of the vehicle; do not let the engine speed be too high when starting. Especially in winter, when the air conditioning rapid acceleration device is working, the idle speed may exceed 1500r/min (usually 1000r/min), which can cause strong vibration and gear impact, leading to a sudden start. Therefore, wait for the engine speed to drop before starting.

Why can't the motorcycle's RPM exceed 6,000?

When a motorcycle's RPM cannot exceed 6,000, it is usually due to the engine's idle speed being set too high. Below are the reasons and solutions for this issue: Poor fuel supply from the carburetor: This causes the engine to lack power. Solution: Clean the carburetor, replace the fuel filter, and clean the fuel tank. Air intake system leakage: This results in an overly lean air-fuel mixture. Solution: Ensure the air intake system is properly sealed. Engine oil viscosity too high or excessive oil: This increases the engine's rotational resistance. Solution: Change the engine oil and fill it to the appropriate level (position 3). Ignition timing too late: Solution: Adjust the ignition timing.

What are the speed requirements for the gear shifting exercise in Subject 3 driving test?

Requirements: Within 150 meters, accelerate from 1st gear progressively up to 4th gear, then downshift sequentially to 2nd gear; engine speed must not exceed 2000 rpm, and the vehicle should remain as stable as possible during the process without noticeable vibrations. When shifting gears, pause briefly in neutral; after fully releasing the clutch, the foot should completely leave the clutch pedal. Below is additional information: The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: pre-driving preparations, simulated lighting test, starting off, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving.

The front suspension of the GL8 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Although multi-link suspensions offer better comfort than torsion beam suspensions, they are also more expensive. 2. GL8 powertrain: The GL8 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, coded LSY. This engine delivers a maximum power of 174kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m. It can output maximum torque between 1500 and 4000 rpm and reaches peak power at 5000 rpm. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT), which enhances gearshift smoothness and improves fuel efficiency.
