In an automatic transmission car, D1, D2, and D3 are all forward gears. 1. D1 is generally used when climbing steep slopes (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission). 2. D2 is typically used when ascending long slopes. 3. D3 is used on regular roads. 4. On current roads, D1 and D2 are rarely used as the speed is not fast even at high RPM. Below is some information about the D gear: (1) The "D" on the gear shift stands for Drive, which is the forward gear. (2) By placing the gear lever in the "D" position, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust the speed. (3) This gear is undoubtedly the most frequently used one, especially in automatic transmission models. The "D gear for all situations" is a driving mode favored by many drivers.

In which provinces is ethanol gasoline used?

Ethanol gasoline is currently used in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Anhui, Guangxi, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hebei, Shandong, Tianjin, and Guangdong. The rational use of ethanol gasoline can provide more power for vehicles while also reducing emissions and minimizing carbon deposits. When using ethanol gasoline for the first time, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the fuel tank and fuel system, and also check for any sediment or water accumulation at the bottom of the tank. Ethanol gasoline is hydrophilic, and if the water content in the fuel exceeds the standard, it not only affects the normal operation of the engine but also shortens its service life.

Does Not Turning Off the Engine While Refueling Damage the Car?

Generally, not turning off the engine while refueling does not harm the car, but it poses certain safety hazards. The vehicle's electrical equipment remains operational, and the engine runs at high temperatures. If there is any electrical leakage, it may easily trigger a fire. When refueling your car, always remember to turn off the engine and power. Only restart the engine and drive after refueling is completed and the fuel tank cap is securely closed. While the engine is running, the car's exhaust continuously emits fumes, often accompanied by sparks, which can also threaten the safety of the gas station. When refueling, as the concentration of fuel vapor increases to a certain level, any spark generated by the running engine could ignite and cause an explosion.
