Automatic transmission vehicles may stop moving while reversing due to the following reasons: Accidental Press of the Auto Hold Button: Enabling this function enhances safety when waiting at traffic lights or crossing pedestrian crossings by preventing the vehicle from moving without throttle input. Releasing the auto hold function allows the vehicle to move forward or reverse upon brake release. Electronic Parking Brake Not Released or Improper Gear Engagement: If the electronic parking brake is not released or the gear is not properly engaged, the reverse gear may not function. Releasing the electronic parking brake and adjusting the gear engagement method can resolve this issue. Transmission Issues: Internal transmission malfunctions may occur. First, check if the transmission fluid level is too low and whether the main oil pressure and gear oil pressure are normal. Then, verify if the gear position switch signal is normal, if the wiring from the transmission computer to the shift solenoid valve is intact, and if the gear solenoid valve is functioning properly. If no issues are found, it indicates a problem with the internal control system of the transmission, requiring disassembly to inspect internal components.

What to Do About Rust Spots on Car Paint Surface?

Solutions for rust spots on car paint surface: 1. Car washing: Maintain vehicle cleanliness to prevent excessive dirt buildup, as accumulated grime may settle or corrode the paint surface, causing irreversible damage; 2. Regular waxing: Periodic waxing effectively prevents paint oxidation and can delay paint aging to some extent. Through chemical reaction with metal ions, the paint surface gets thoroughly soaked and wetted during cleaning, removing metallic dust particles from the paint, glass, and wheel hubs, restoring the original white car color; 3. Polishing: Remove stubborn contaminants (oxidized yellowing portions) from the paint surface through polishing. However, this gradually thins the car's paint layer, so frequent polishing is not recommended.

How to Deal with Small Dents and Dings on a Car?

To repair car dents, methods such as suction cups, glue sticks, and bodywork painting can be used. Below are the solutions for car dents: 1. Use dent repair technology: For dents without paint damage, employ paintless dent repair technology. 2. Use bodywork painting: For dents with paint damage, apply bodywork painting for repair. 3. Use a glue stick: Insert the glue stick into a glue gun and heat for 3 minutes, then apply from the center to the edges on the suction cup. 4. Use a suction cup: Utilize residual heat to attach the suction cup to the force point of a larger dent, then pull it out evenly to restore the dent.

Will Leaving the Sunroof Open in the Rain Have Any Negative Effects?

Here are the potential consequences of leaving the sunroof open during rain: 1. Drainage Hole Blockage: The sunroof is surrounded by sliding tracks and drainage channels. Over time, debris such as leaves, dust, and mud can accumulate. If not cleaned promptly, rainwater entering through an open sunroof can clog the drainage holes at the four corners of the sunroof frame. If rainwater cannot drain properly, it may overflow and soak the interior trim panels around the sunroof or the sunroof switch. 2. Water Leakage Inside the Car: The drainage pipes, hidden within the A, C, or D pillars of the car, are responsible for directing water from the drainage holes to the outside. Issues such as disconnected joints, cracks or holes in the pipes, excessive bending, or aging can lead to water leakage. This typically manifests as water seepage near the A-pillar and door areas or behind the rear seats and into the trunk. 3. Internal Component Failure: If water enters the vehicle through an open sunroof, it can wet internal components, leading to electrical short circuits. If the water does not dry in time, it may prevent the vehicle from starting.

How Much Transmission Fluid Should Be Added at One Time?

Automatic transmissions generally have two methods for fluid replacement: gravity drain and machine flush. Gravity drain requires 3~4L of fluid, while a machine flush requires 12L. The details are as follows: 1. Machine Flush: The transmission fluid is replaced while the vehicle is running, allowing the fluid to circulate and carry out contaminants from the transmission. This method typically requires 12 liters of transmission fluid and is more thorough and effective. 2. Function of Transmission Fluid: Transmission fluid is primarily composed of petroleum-based or synthetic lubricating oil, blended with extreme pressure anti-wear agents and lubricity enhancers. It is a crucial lubricant used in various gear transmission systems to prevent gear surface wear, scuffing, and seizure, thereby extending service life and improving power transmission efficiency.
