For automatic transmission vehicles, when waiting at a red light, it is generally recommended to shift into the N gear, which is the neutral gear. Here is some relevant information: 1. Auto Hold function: However, if the vehicle is equipped with the ATUO-HOLD function (Auto Hold function), when the speed is 0, the vehicle will automatically apply the handbrake, so the driver does not need to perform any gear operation, and the vehicle will not move even if it is in the D gear. 2. Precautions: When the engine starts, the automatic transmission also has restrictions on the gear position. This is an adjustment made by the manufacturer for safety considerations. Generally, the engine can only be started when the gear lever is in the P or N position.

What to Do When Your Car Is Scratched by Someone Who Can't Be Found?

If your car is scratched by someone who can't be found, you should immediately report it to the police, and let the traffic police handle the accident judgment. Do not impulsively chase the other vehicle. At the same time, you can retrieve the footage from your dashcam to prove the other party's illegal behavior. Subsequently, you should call your insurance company to send a specialist for damage assessment and claim settlement. Strictly speaking, you can file a lawsuit, but it depends on the situation. Some drivers may not realize they scratched someone else's car and drove away, while others may knowingly scratch your car and intentionally flee. In the first scenario, it does not constitute a hit-and-run because there is no intentional attempt to flee, so it cannot be classified as a hit-and-run. In the second scenario, you can sue the other party for a hit-and-run, as their departure is a deliberate attempt to evade responsibility. Whether it's a minor car scrape or any other form of traffic accident, if the driver is aware of the accident but neither reports it to the police nor negotiates a settlement and simply drives away from the scene, it constitutes a hit-and-run.

Can Rubber Bushings Be Lubricated by Injecting Engine Oil?

Rubber bushings should not be lubricated by injecting engine oil, as engine oil can corrode rubber bushings. Exposure to engine oil causes rubber bushings to swell and develop cracks. Instead, petroleum jelly can be used for lubrication. It is important to inspect rubber bushings regularly and replace them promptly if they are damaged. Damaged bushings result in direct metal-to-metal contact between the suspension arm and axle, leading to loud clanking noises. Engine oil, also known as motor oil or engine lubricant, is a substance enhanced with additives in a base oil, primarily containing anti-wear agents, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used to lubricate internal combustion engines, with its main functions being to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine.

What Causes the Clicking Sound and Jerky Feeling When Braking?

The reasons for the clicking sound and jerky feeling when braking are: 1. Electronic interaction between the braking system and the automatic transmission: When the brake is pressed, the transmission solenoid valve opens, producing a "clicking" sound. This serves as a safety reminder, and you need to press the gear shift lock button to engage the gear. 2. A malfunction in the braking system or loosening of certain chassis components. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. The car's brake pedal is located under the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal activates the brake lever linkage, which then applies pressure to the brake pads on the brake drum, clamping the brake disc to slow down or stop the vehicle.

What to Do If the Car Keeps Stalling During Hill Start?

The solutions for a car that keeps stalling during hill start are: 1. When starting, shift into 1st gear, release the handbrake, and press the brake with your right foot while pressing the clutch with your left foot; 2. Slowly release the clutch with your left foot, observing the tachometer and the vehicle's real-time dynamics. When the tachometer needle points to 1 and the car's front slightly tilts upward, it indicates that you can slowly release the brake; 3. When you notice the car starts moving forward slowly, gradually release the clutch to let the car climb to the top of the slope using idle speed.
