The clutch pressure plate is installed on the engine's flywheel and rotates along with the engine. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the vehicle to ensure smooth starting; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact from the engine and extending the service life of transmission gears. Clutch maintenance and servicing items include: 1. Checking the fluid level in the clutch reservoir; 2. Inspecting the clutch hydraulic control mechanism for leaks; 3. Depressing the clutch pedal and checking pedal responsiveness; 4. Checking the clutch pedal height; 5. Inspecting the clutch release point; 6. Evaluating clutch operation performance; 7. Bleeding air from the clutch hydraulic system.

The clutch pressure plate is installed directly behind the engine, specifically mounted onto the flywheel, positioned between the engine and the transmission housing. When driving, as the engine rotates, the pressure plate applies force to the clutch disc, transmitting power to the transmission. Depressing the clutch pedal releases this pressure, disengaging the power transfer for smooth gear shifting. Precise alignment is crucial—even minor misalignment can cause shuddering during take-off, slipping, or unusual noises. Back when I was learning auto repair from my master, improper installation often led to rough starts, increased fuel consumption, and accelerated wear. Optimizing its position enhances durability, reduces heat deformation, and routine maintenance checks for proper clearance prevent looseness, avoiding troublesome transmission disassembly. Correct positioning ensures effortless driving.

Temporary license plate: Obtain a temporary license plate, which you can request from the dealer for backup, but be sure to note the expiration date of the temporary plate. 3. Insurance company: Contact your local insurance company in advance before departure, provide them with the vehicle's VIN number, and purchase the necessary compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, and vehicle damage insurance. 4. Local registration: Go through the registration process locally. Prepare the original and a copy of the vehicle qualification certificate, the original purchase invoice, the owner's ID card, and the insurance policy.

What to Do When a Tire Blows Out While Driving?

Solutions for a tire blowout while driving: 1. When you realize a tire has blown out, grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands and try to prevent it from turning on its own, keeping the car moving straight in the original direction; 2. While maintaining control of the steering, quickly shift to a lower gear to use the engine's braking effect to slow down the vehicle. Avoid using the brake to stop the car until the engine braking has sufficiently controlled the speed, to prevent the vehicle from skidding sideways or rolling over; 3. Apply the brake gently to slow down gradually and pull over to the side of the road slowly; 4. Turn on the hazard warning lights immediately and place a warning sign to avoid collisions from vehicles behind; 5. Do not abruptly turn the steering wheel to change direction; 6. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this may cause loss of control or a rollover due to a shift in the vehicle's center of gravity.

What Do the Dashboard Indicator Lights Mean?

Different categories of indicator lights have the following meanings: 1. Battery Indicator Light: This light indicates the working status of the battery. It turns on when the ignition is activated and turns off after the engine starts. If it does not light up or remains on continuously, the generator and circuit should be checked immediately. 2.

Generally, the vehicle can still travel approximately 50 kilometers from the time the light comes on until the fuel runs out. 3. Washer Fluid Indicator Light: This light shows the level of the windshield washer fluid. If the fluid is about to run out, the light will turn on, reminding the owner to refill the washer fluid promptly. After adding the fluid, the light will turn off. 4.
