Push-starting: Turn the key to the ignition position and depress the clutch, release the handbrake and shift into 1st gear, keep the clutch depressed while pushing the car, and when the speed reaches 5 km/h, slowly release the clutch and press the accelerator; 2. Towing-start: Use an appropriate tow rope to securely fasten both ends, start slowly and ensure the speed of both vehicles, notify the front vehicle promptly after the rear vehicle starts, and slowly pull over to the roadside to park; 3. Jump-starting with another car: Open the hoods of both cars, connect the negative terminal of the jumper cable to the negative terminal of the other car, similarly connect the positive terminal of the jumper cable to the positive terminal of the other car, then have the other car start its engine, and after starting, maintain the running state for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the alternator to charge automatically.

What are the two major categories of internal combustion engines?

Internal combustion engines can be classified by cooling method into air-cooled and water-cooled types; by the number of cylinders, they can be divided into single-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines, among others. Broadly speaking, they are categorized into free-piston internal combustion engines, reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, and rotary piston internal combustion engines, which also include jet engines and rotary turbine gas engines. Based on the type of fuel used, internal combustion engines can be classified into gasoline engines, diesel engines, and gas-fueled engines. Engines that use gasoline as fuel are called gasoline engines; those that use diesel are called diesel engines, while gas fuels mainly include natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and others.

Why Does the Car Make Noise When Braking?

There are several reasons why a car may produce abnormal noises when braking: 1. The vehicle may be equipped with ABS. When braking, you might sometimes feel a rebound, especially on uneven roads, which can even cause a jerking sensation. This is a normal phenomenon. If it's not due to ABS, it is recommended to have it checked at a 4S shop. 2. The most common reason for squeaky brakes is that the brake pads have worn thin, causing direct contact between the brake drum and the vehicle. Friction between the metal parts leads to noise. If the brake pads are too thin, a warning indicator will light up, but sometimes it won't illuminate until the preset limit is reached. If the brake pads are found to be normal upon inspection, it means the vehicle can be driven as usual.

These standards are established to prevent pollution from the exhaust of compression-ignition and gas-fueled ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. Additional information: The significance of the National VI standard for light-duty vehicles lies in the shift from following European and American vehicle emission standards to bold innovation, achieving for the first time a leading role in global standard-setting. This helps Chinese automotive companies participate in international market competition and promotes the development of China's automotive industry. It also meets the requirements of key regions to accelerate the improvement of ambient air quality by tightening vehicle emission standards.

How long can you park in a no-parking zone?

In a no-parking zone, you can typically stop for about three minutes. When parking in such areas, do not turn off the engine, and the driver should remain in the vehicle. If the driver needs to exit the vehicle, there must be someone inside who can drive and holds a valid driver's license, to avoid situations where traffic police request the vehicle to be moved but no one is available. Apart from areas with clear signs prohibiting long-term parking, there are other road sections to be cautious about. These include roads with solid yellow lines along the curb, which indicate no parking of any vehicles is allowed. A dashed yellow line means no long-term parking is permitted, and you should stop briefly and leave immediately. Additionally, crosswalks, bicycle lanes, dedicated lanes, tunnels, and steep slopes are all areas where parking is prohibited.
