The car showing D gear when it is actually in P gear may be caused by incorrect operation sequence during parking, resulting in the locking wedge of the P gear getting stuck with the gear. Below is an introduction to the commonly used gears in automatic transmissions: 1. P gear: P gear is used for long-term parking. It is generally used in conjunction with the N gear. When the P gear is engaged, components like the transmission are directly locked to prevent the car from rolling. 2. R gear: R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing the car. It is usually engaged after the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N gear: N gear is the neutral gear, which can be used for short-term parking or in combination with the P gear for long-term parking.

What are the symptoms of incorrect ignition timing?

Incorrect ignition timing manifests as unstable idle and weak acceleration. Severe cases may prevent the engine from starting, while excessively delayed ignition can cause starting difficulties or insufficient power. 1. Overly advanced ignition timing: When starting the car, the engine turns heavily (difficult to start) with a jerking sensation. At idle, the engine shakes and may stall. There is knocking sound during rapid acceleration. After starting, during operation, the engine water temperature is high and often boils over. 2. Excessively delayed ignition timing: The engine feels sluggish, weak, or even overheats. When suddenly opening the throttle, the engine speed cannot increase accordingly, and fuel consumption rises. During rapid acceleration, the exhaust pipe may sometimes backfire.

How many minutes are allowed to stop in the emergency lane?

Emergency lanes allow stopping for two minutes. Below is relevant information about emergency lanes: 1. Concept of emergency lanes: The emergency lane on a highway refers to the part of the road adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length of 30 meters or more, which can accommodate the parking needs of motor vehicles. 2. Usage of emergency lanes: Emergency lanes are designated for emergency vehicles. For example, if a vehicle cannot continue driving due to sudden illness or other physical conditions, experiences a flat tire, brake failure, or runs out of fuel, it may stop in the emergency lane. Alternatively, vehicles performing official duties may pass quickly and unobstructed in the emergency lane.

How to Check the Engine Oil Level in a Discovery Sport?

The method to check the engine oil level in a Discovery Sport is: remove the dipstick, wipe it clean with a soft cloth, then reinsert it and remove it again. The marked area indicates the oil level. When checking the dipstick, ensure that all four wheels of the car are parked on the same level surface without any tilt in any direction. If the vehicle is tilted, the oil level in the oil pan will change, leading to inaccurate measurements. The Discovery Sport is a model from Land Rover's Discovery series, positioned as a midsize SUV. The vehicle comes standard with an air quality monitoring system and a PM2.5 haze filtration system. The air quality monitoring system automatically switches to the air conditioning's internal circulation mode when external air quality is poor, reducing the entry of pollutants into the cabin.
