Solutions for when the car slips and can't climb the slope: First, press the brake to stop the car and prevent it from rolling back, then start in first gear and choose a road surface with good traction, avoiding slippery surfaces such as water, snow, or loose sand. If this still doesn't work, safely reverse to the bottom of the slope. The car's climbing ability is determined by its traction being greater than the slope resistance and rolling resistance. Use the appropriate gear based on the slope's steepness to ensure the engine has sufficient power. If you feel the engine lacks power, quickly downshift. Once the RPM increases, maintain steady throttle. If the RPM continues to rise, upshift. If the slope is too steep to pass, consider unloading some weight to reduce the car's load.

What to Do When There Are Stains on the Car Rearview Mirror That Can't Be Wiped Off?

Solutions for stains on the car rearview mirror that can't be wiped off include: 1. Apply toothpaste to a towel and rub the rearview mirror back and forth; 2. Pour alcohol onto a towel and scrub the rearview mirror vigorously. If the stains are caused by the heating function of the rearview mirror leading to cracks in the inner layer of the glass, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop for replacement. Car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the front of the car and inside the car's front area. They reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas clearly and expanding the driver's field of vision. Rearview mirrors can be categorized by installation location into exterior rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. By purpose, exterior rearview mirrors show the rear side of the car, lower rearview mirrors display the front lower part of the car, and interior rearview mirrors reflect the rear of the car and the interior situation.

What is the method to reset the maintenance light on the Tengyi C30?

The method to reset the maintenance light on the Tengyi C30 is: 1. Press and hold the reset button A while stepping on the brake; 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON, but do not start the car; 3. The characters INSP will flash or the display will blink; 4. Continue holding down the reset button A until three dots appear on the display; 5. Release the reset button A and take your foot off the brake; 6. Turn the ignition switch back to OFF, and the reset process is complete. Taking the 2016 1.5L manual comfort model of the Great Wall Tengyi C30 as an example, this car is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4471mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1480mm in height.

Will the Engine Stall When Braking in First Gear?

Braking in first gear can cause the engine to stall, but pressing the clutch before braking will prevent stalling. The key to braking with the clutch is to maintain the engine's idle rotation. If the engine speed remains at or above idle from braking to release, you can avoid pressing the clutch. If it drops below idle, you must press the clutch to prevent shaking or even stalling. Below is more information: 1. Generally, in urban driving conditions, emergency braking should be avoided. Emergency braking not only increases fuel consumption but also affects tire lifespan. When driving on slopes like bridges, pay attention to long-distance braking during downhill sections. Do not shift into neutral; always coast in gear. Otherwise, it will extend the braking distance, reduce braking effectiveness, and compromise safety. 2. On icy or snowy roads, never use emergency braking. Shift to a low gear, release the accelerator, and use the engine's traction for braking.

Why Can't the Trunk Be Locked?

The reasons why the trunk cannot be locked: 1. Overly stiff spring rods are used to allow the rear hatch to automatically rise after pressing the opening switch; 2. Mismatch between the closing limit rubber block and the locking mechanism; 3. Malfunction in the trunk control circuit; 4. Failure of the trunk hydraulic support rod. Essential items for the car trunk: 1. Spare tire—most cars come with one, some are full-size while others are compact; 2. Small jack and tool kit—without a jack, changing a tire would require waiting for roadside assistance. When organizing, ensure the jack and crank handle are stored together; 3. Tire pressure gauge and automatic air pump—most modern cars are equipped with tire pressure monitoring, making an automatic air pump a necessity for quick inflation; 4. Triangle warning sign—if the car breaks down on the road, the triangle warning sign should be placed about 150 meters behind the vehicle to alert approaching cars.

Tire Load Index and Speed Rating?

Following the size parameters of an automotive tire, there is typically a numerical+alphabetical parameter, such as 91V, 105V, 96W, etc. The load index of a tire refers to the maximum load capacity that the tire can bear when inflated to the specified pressure. It is usually represented by a number. For example, 91 indicates a maximum load capacity of 615Kg per tire, 96 indicates 710Kg per tire, and 105 indicates 925Kg per tire. However, this does not mean that the tire will immediately fail if it exceeds this maximum load capacity, but prolonged operation under such conditions is not permitted. For instance, using tires with a load index of 91, each tire has a maximum load capacity of 615Kg, resulting in a total load capacity of 2460Kg for four tires on a vehicle. If the total weight of the vehicle exceeds this value, the tire deformation increases significantly. Prolonged operation under such conditions generates more heat, ultimately leading to tire fatigue damage, reduced lifespan, or even structural failure, which may cause a blowout accident.

How to Add Car Coolant?

The method for adding car coolant is as follows: 1. Open the front engine cover and check for any signs of leakage at the connections of the radiator, hoses, and other components; 2. After confirming no leaks, open the filler cap or radiator cap to allow faster coolant drainage; 3. Locate the coolant drain outlet on the vehicle's radiator. Some models may not have a radiator drain outlet, in which case you can drain the antifreeze by removing the heater hoses; 4. After draining the antifreeze, reinstall the drain plug or heater hoses, then add clean water to the radiator; 5. Start the engine and let the water circulate for 2 to 3 minutes before draining it again; 6. After cleaning and draining all the water, reinstall the drain hose or heater hoses, and then you can add new antifreeze; 7. After filling, start the engine and let it circulate for about 10 minutes. At this point, the coolant level will drop slightly as air is purged from the cooling system. Add more antifreeze until it reaches the maximum mark on the filler tank.
