I also encountered the issue of my dashcam not recording when driving a Kia K3. That time it was because the memory card was full and hadn't been cleared in time - it was packed with old video files, preventing new videos from being saved. Later I realized the card needed to be removed and formatted, preferably to FAT32 format since some dashcams only recognize this format. Also, check if the card is damaged by testing its read/write capability on a computer. Sometimes incorrect settings can cause this too, like having recording mode turned off or sensitivity set too low. I recommend regularly checking the card's capacity and developing a habit of clearing it monthly. This keeps the dashcam operating more stably and gives peace of mind while driving, as missing critical footage can be very problematic.

Should the clutch be released after shifting to first gear when pulling over?

Do not release the clutch after shifting to first gear when pulling over. The precautions for Subject 3 are as follows: 1. Before getting in the car for the test: Before getting in the car for the test, walk around the vehicle counterclockwise to check the vehicle condition. This is a very crucial step and should not be overlooked. 2. After getting in the car: After getting in the car, adjust the seat position, adjust the angle of the rearview mirror, and fasten the seat belt. Only after completing these steps can the test begin. 3. Voice instructions: During all test items, listen to the voice prompts and do not act before the voice prompt, as the computer will not record the operation, resulting in test failure. Special attention should be paid to the school and bus stop projects, where there are no voice reminders. Be sure to perform the deceleration and braking actions within 30 meters, and avoid braking too early.

Can the engine be washed with a water gun?

Engine can be washed with a water gun. It is better not to use a water gun to wash the engine in the following situations: 1. Hot engine state: According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, using cold water high-pressure washing when the engine is hot will cause the engine temperature to drop sharply, which may cause oil seal leakage, and in severe cases, cylinder block rupture may occur. 2. Older cars: When cleaning the engine compartment of a new car, a high-pressure water gun can be used, but for cars that have been used for too long, although the engine compartment is insulated, there is no guarantee that it will not cause a short circuit. It is best to ask the 4S shop master to blow it with an air gun during maintenance.
