Car tire lug nuts are loosened by turning counterclockwise and tightened by turning clockwise. The precautions for changing a tire are as follows: Ensure the surrounding environment is safe: Before changing a tire, first park the car in a relatively safe and flat location. Then engage the parking brake, shift the gear to park, and turn the ignition switch to the lock position. Turn on the hazard lights and place a triangular warning sign at a sufficient distance from the car. Pay attention to the use of the jack: After loosening the nuts one by one, you can use the jack to partially lift the vehicle. There are slots on both sides of the car's underside for placing the jack, and it is essential to position the jack within these slots to avoid accidents. Once the jack is raised, the loosened nuts can be easily removed one by one, and then the entire tire can be taken off, completing the tire removal process. Removal and installation of nuts: When tightening the nuts, do not follow a clockwise or counterclockwise sequence. Instead, tighten them in a diagonal order. It is best to ensure that each nut is tightened the same number of turns to maintain even force distribution among the nuts.

Should You Apply the Handbrake or Shift to Neutral First After Parking?

Applying the handbrake first or shifting to neutral first is generally acceptable, as there is no fixed sequence. Below are the relevant details: 1. Principle of how the handbrake stabilizes the vehicle: The handbrake stabilizes the vehicle by clamping the rear brake discs, preventing the rear wheels from rotating. Mechanical cable-type handbrakes use steel cables to pull the brake calipers, which then clamp the brake discs, while electronic handbrakes operate servo motors on the brake calipers to achieve the same effect. 2. When parking on a slope: When parking on a slope, you should apply the handbrake first and then shift gears. Otherwise, the pawl and ratchet mechanism will bear the component force of the vehicle on the slope, which can either damage the pawl gear or make them press together too tightly, making it difficult to shift out of Park (P) or causing metallic noises. By applying the handbrake first and then shifting gears, the component force on the slope will be borne by the handbrake, which is much better for the transmission.

Can You Stop Directly in Third Gear at a Traffic Light?

You cannot stop directly in third gear at a traffic light. First, decelerate, then shift down to first gear, and finally come to a complete stop. Below is a brief introduction to braking and an overview of the car clutch: Introduction to Braking: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, or other transportation tools or machinery. The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base, which generate braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical device designed to slow down the vehicle's speed. Overview of the Car Clutch: The car clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transferring the power input from the engine to the transmission.

What to Do When Your Driver's License Reaches Zero Points?

If your driver's license is deducted to zero points within a cycle, you need to go to the local traffic management department of the public security authority for a seven-day study period. After completing the training, you will need to retake the subject one exam. The following are the deduction scenarios for a driver's license: 1. Full 12 points on the driver's license: After accumulating 12 points, you must undergo an 8-hour daily training on road traffic safety regulations and related knowledge. The exam content is the same as that for new driving test candidates. After passing the subject one exam, the points on your driver's license will be cleared, and the traffic management department will reissue your driver's license. If you fail the exam, you will need to retake the training and exam. 2. Accumulating more than 6 points during the probationary period: If your driver's license accumulates more than 6 points within the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. Once 12 points are accumulated, you will no longer be allowed to drive a motor vehicle. If caught by traffic police, your driver's license will be revoked.

They primarily use non-fuel power systems, avoiding the combustion of gasoline or diesel, and instead utilize clean energy sources. New energy vehicles offer safer and more stable driving. With relatively lower power output, they tend to have higher safety coefficients. Energy efficiency is another benefit, as new energy typically refers to the development and utilization of renewable resources based on new technologies. Since the new energy vehicle industry is supported by the state, purchasing such vehicles comes with many conveniences. Many new energy vehicles are now eligible for local subsidies.
