If the slope is not too steep, you can normally shift into D gear by pressing the brake pedal. If the slope is too steep, you need to use the handbrake in coordination—shift into D gear first, then gently release the handbrake while pressing the accelerator with your foot. Below are some precautions to note when driving uphill or downhill: 1. Whether going uphill or downhill, and regardless of whether the car has a manual or automatic transmission, you should never use neutral or depress the clutch while moving on a slope. When descending a long, steep slope, it is necessary to use the lowest gear in low-speed or manual shift mode. 2. If you are concerned about insufficient power when going uphill, you can switch to S gear, but remember to shift back to D gear after climbing the slope, otherwise it will consume a lot of fuel.

What is the function of the carburetor needle height adjustment?

It forms an annular main nozzle with the carburetor's main jet to deliver a certain amount of combustible air-fuel mixture to the cylinder head. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. When the needle clip is adjusted upward, the needle position moves relatively downward, reducing the annular main nozzle of the carburetor. This results in a leaner combustible air-fuel mixture delivered to the cylinder head through the main nozzle, and vice versa for a richer mixture. 2. Adjusting the needle position directly causes noticeable changes in the carburetor's air-fuel ratio. Although the engine may start smoothly under various settings, it can lead to different engine faults during normal operation, such as stalling when accelerating, incomplete combustion in the cylinder head, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and a series of other issues.

Can Long Scratches on the Windshield Be Repaired?

Repairing long scratches on the windshield is relatively difficult due to the following reasons: Polishing: Ordinary scratch wax cannot remove them; specialized glass polishing paste is required. However, polishing carries certain risks because the continuous friction between the polishing pad and the glass generates high temperatures. If the temperature exceeds the glass's tolerance, the glass may crack. Resin Application: Using resin with a refractive index close to that of glass is an emergency solution, but it can only be used to repair very small pits. The drawbacks of resin are also quite evident. Since its hardness is lower than that of glass, scratches will eventually reappear after prolonged use.
