The reasons for severe shaking when the Camry's air conditioner is turned on are as follows: 1. Severe engine carbon buildup: The most common cause of shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. The solution is to clean the fuel system and check if the idle control valve has carbon buildup, which should be cleaned thoroughly. 2. Unstable fuel pressure: Check whether the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor are functioning properly. If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor's values are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can cause the car to shake. The solution is to check the fuel pressure and replace components if necessary. 3. Aging engine components: Car shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts. Engine mounts are essentially the engine's vibration damping system, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations when the engine is running.

Should You Press the Clutch When Reversing?

When reversing a car, it is necessary to press the clutch. During the reversing process, the clutch is used to adjust the power output and control the vehicle speed. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. Clutch Classification: According to the "China Clutch Manufacturing Industry Production and Sales Demand and Investment Forecast Analysis Report," clutches are divided into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic powder clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches. When reversing a vehicle, the following points should be noted: Under good road conditions: If the driver is skilled, reversing can be faster; otherwise, idling can be used to reverse. In automatic transmission vehicles, the right foot mostly controls the brake during reversing, and the accelerator is only pressed to speed up when the road conditions behind the vehicle are very good. Reversing methods under different road conditions: If the road behind the vehicle is wide and flat with no pedestrians or other obstructions, reversing can be faster with deeper accelerator pedal presses. If there are uphill slopes, pedestrians, obstacles, curves, or other external factors behind the vehicle, reversing should be slower, and the accelerator should not be pressed. Precautions for daily use of the vehicle clutch: Ensuring a smooth start: This is the primary function of the clutch. Before starting the car, the engine must be started first. When the car starts, it accelerates from a complete standstill. If the drivetrain (which connects the entire car) is rigidly linked to the engine, engaging the transmission will cause the car to suddenly jerk forward but not start. This is because the inertia force generated when the car moves from standstill to forward motion creates a significant resistance torque on the engine. Under this inertial resistance torque, the engine's speed drops sharply below the minimum stable speed (usually 300-500 RPM), causing the engine to stall and the car to fail to start. During driving, to adapt to changing conditions, the drivetrain often needs to shift gears. To shift gears in a manual transmission, the clutch pedal must be pressed first to interrupt power transmission, making it easier to disengage the current gear pair and allowing the new gear pair to synchronize speeds gradually. This significantly reduces the impact during engagement, ensuring smooth gear shifts. Preventing drivetrain overload: During emergency braking, without a clutch, the engine would rapidly decelerate due to its rigid connection with the drivetrain. All moving parts would generate large inertial moments (possibly much greater than the maximum torque produced by the engine under normal conditions), subjecting the drivetrain to loads beyond its capacity and potentially damaging components.

What does a variable cross-section torsion beam semi-independent suspension mean?

A variable cross-section torsion beam semi-independent suspension is a type of rear suspension system in vehicles. It incorporates a stabilizer bar on top of the torsion beam semi-independent suspension to induce wheel tilt and maintain vehicle stability. Below is relevant information: Working Principle: The principle involves mounting the wheels of the semi-independent suspension on both ends of a solid axle. Thus, when one wheel moves or bounces, it affects the other wheel to bounce correspondingly, causing the entire vehicle body to vibrate or tilt. Applicable Vehicles: Vehicles equipped with this suspension system generally have poorer stability and comfort. However, due to its simple construction and high load-bearing capacity, this suspension is commonly used in trucks, ordinary buses, and some other special-purpose vehicles.

How to Use Lights at Night?

Using lights at night should be determined based on the situation: 1. When the speed is below 30 kilometers per hour, low beams should be used, which can normally illuminate beyond 30 meters; 2. When passing through an intersection, slow down 50 to 100 meters away from the intersection, switch from high beams to low beams, and turn on the turn signal to indicate the direction of travel; 3. When the distance to an oncoming vehicle is 150 meters, switch from high beams to low beams to avoid obstructing the oncoming driver's vision. If the other party does not switch to low beams, immediately reduce speed and alternately flash high and low beams to signal them; 4. Drive with low beams on well-lit roads.

Can You Shift Gears While Braking?

Shifting gears while braking is possible. Here are the relevant details: P Gear (Parking Gear): This gear locks the vehicle's rotating parts using a mechanical device inside the transmission. It should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, when the car is turned off, the gear must be in P. N Gear (Neutral Gear): This is the neutral position, typically used for brief stops. In this gear, the right foot can be lifted off the brake pedal for a rest. However, on slopes, the brake must still be applied to prevent the car from rolling, unless the handbrake or electronic brake is engaged. D Gear (Drive Gear): This is the forward driving gear. When in D gear, the driver only needs to control the accelerator pedal to adjust speed. The transmission automatically determines the appropriate gear based on the accelerator position and vehicle speed, eliminating the need for manual shifting.

Can vehicle inspection be done in another location? Can out-of-province vehicles be inspected locally?

Vehicle inspection can be done in another location. Starting from September 1, 2018, cross-province inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses have been fully implemented. This means applicants can directly inspect their vehicles in provinces other than the vehicle registration location and obtain the inspection qualification mark without needing to go through the entrustment inspection process. Here is additional information: Note: Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in another location and must return to the vehicle registration location for inspection. If unsure, you can check the markings on the vehicle’s license. Out-of-province vehicles can be inspected locally: According to the new regulations mentioned above, out-of-province vehicles can now be inspected locally. Compared to the past, the procedures for local inspection of out-of-province vehicles are now the same as normal procedures. Previously, owners of out-of-province vehicles had to return to the vehicle registration location to obtain an "entrustment letter for out-of-province inspection" before they could participate in the inspection at the vehicle usage location. After the implementation of the new policy: Out-of-province vehicle owners only need to bring their ID card, vehicle license, original copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and vehicle and vessel tax certificate to any inspection station nationwide for the annual inspection.
