If a car is not driven for a long time, the following precautions should be taken when parking: 1. Give the car body a thorough cleaning before long-term parking: This helps prevent corrosion and oxidation of the car body. Use a car cover to protect the vehicle from dust and other damage. 2. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery (power off): This prevents power consumption. When restarting, simply reconnect the terminal. This ensures the car won't fail to start due to a drained battery from prolonged inactivity. 3. Check the tire pressure: For long-term parking, such as over six months, check the tire pressure and inflate the tires if the pressure is insufficient. 4. Do not leave food or drinks in the car: Avoid placing food or beverages inside the car during long-term parking. Opened food and drinks can mold within three to four days, causing air pollution inside the car.

Does a Dry Dual Clutch Transmission Need to Warm Up?

Dry dual clutch transmissions need to warm up. Using manual mode: In congested areas, it is recommended to use manual mode to avoid frequent gear shifts that can cause overheating. When waiting at a red light, you can shift to neutral, engage the handbrake first, and then release the foot brake to allow the transmission to rest. Avoid keeping the car in gear with the foot brake pressed while waiting at a red light. Dual clutch transmission: Start smoothly. In the design, first gear is just a transitional gear, so avoid putting it under heavy load. Many people say that dual clutch transmissions have noticeable jerks. This is actually determined by the structure of the dual clutch. It mainly occurs during hard acceleration or sudden braking. For example, if you are driving in third gear and the transmission detects acceleration, the dual clutch will pre-select fourth gear. However, if you suddenly accelerate, the transmission will have to downshift from fourth to second gear to increase the RPM, causing consecutive gear shifts and resulting in jerks. Therefore, avoid hard acceleration and minimize sudden braking.
