An automatic transmission car should be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear when starting the engine. The correct steps are: 1. Turn on the power without starting the engine; 2. Press the brake pedal and start the engine in N gear. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting into gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. To move the gear lever out of P, the brake pedal must be pressed; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not shift into P gear while the vehicle is moving; 7. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D (Drive) and R (Reverse) should only be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the temperature of internal transmission components to rise and lead to damage.

What causes the air conditioning in the Haval H6 to not cool properly?

Lack of refrigerant, air flocs, leaves and other debris attached to the air conditioning condenser and radiator, or a loose compressor drive belt. Causes: Refrigerant loss is mainly due to leakage; a dirty condenser. The air conditioning condenser and radiator are located at the front of the vehicle. When the vehicle is moving, air enters through the central intake grille, and debris such as air flocs and leaves can attach to the air conditioning condenser and radiator. A loose air conditioning compressor drive belt can cause slippage during operation, reducing transmission efficiency, lowering the compressor's speed, and decreasing the refrigerant delivery, which directly reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system. Additional checks: Check if the vehicle's cooling system has been cleaned; inspect if the air filter is clogged with dust or foreign objects; check for blower motor faults or damage.

What to Do When the Leather Steering Wheel is Worn?

Repair is needed. Methods for repairing a worn leather steering wheel: 1. Slight wear: Purchase a bottle of specialized leather steering wheel repair solution and apply it to the worn area according to the instructions. 2. Small cracks: If small cracks appear, apply acrylic resin to the cracks, align the edges, and dry them with the cold air from a hair dryer. 3. Tears: If there is a tear, cut a piece of non-woven lining slightly larger than the torn area, place it underneath the damaged part, and apply leather adhesive; then, cover the damaged area with a piece of cotton cloth and press it flat with an iron. Once the leather sets, remove the cotton cloth. If the crack is more noticeable, apply a color paste of the same shade. 4. Unable to repair yourself: If the damage is beyond your ability to repair, you will need to take it to a professional car detailing service for steering wheel refurbishment. The refurbishment technology can maximize the repair of the worn areas.

Can the fuel in a sedan's tank be siphoned out with a hose?

The fuel in a car's fuel tank cannot be directly siphoned out from the filler neck using a hose. Modern car fuel tank inlets are generally equipped with filter screens, making it impossible for a siphon hose to enter the tank, let alone extract fuel. This design serves two purposes: preventing foreign objects from falling into the tank and deterring fuel theft. However, for some older vehicles, this method might still be feasible, allowing the hose to be inserted directly into the tank for siphoning. It's worth mentioning the position of the fuel pump and fuel lines inside the tank. Typically, the fuel pump is located inside the tank, with its top connected and sealed to the tank's top. The low-pressure fuel line and return line are connected above the fuel pump. When the fuel pump is off, there is no direct connection between the low-pressure fuel line, return line, and the tank, so even in the event of an accident, fuel will not leak out.

Will You Be Fined for Having a Child in the Front Passenger Seat?

Traffic regulations do not specify penalties for children sitting in the front passenger seat. However, some local regulations impose fines ranging from five to thirty yuan on passengers. During actual driving, traffic police indeed discourage children under 12 years of age (or under 1.4 meters tall) from sitting in the front passenger seat. Additional information: When driving a motor vehicle on the road, minors under 12 years of age should not be placed in the front passenger seat. Although minors aged 12 and above can sit in the front passenger seat, it is advisable to use a child safety seat for added safety. Additionally, pregnant women should avoid sitting in the front passenger seat. Due to their body shape, seat belts are not designed with pregnant women in mind, so to minimize unnecessary harm, it is best not to sit in the front passenger seat.
