Here are the reasons and solutions for why an automatic transmission car doesn't move when releasing the brake: 1. Steep slope: On very steep slopes, it is normal for an automatic transmission car not to move when releasing the brake. Due to the steep slope and increased resistance caused by inertia, the car needs more forward power than resistance to move. Solution: Simply press the accelerator. 2. Transmission settings of the vehicle: Some car models are designed to require pressing the accelerator to move. Even when the gear is in D (Drive), the car will automatically disconnect the power if the accelerator is not pressed, effectively putting it in neutral. Solution: Press the accelerator. 3. Vehicle malfunction: There might be issues with the transmission, drivetrain, throttle, etc. The exact cause needs to be diagnosed by a 4S shop. Solution: Repair based on the diagnosis.

What are the body dimensions of the Porsche Cayenne?

The body dimensions of the Porsche Cayenne are 4918mm in length, 1983mm in width, and 1696mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2895mm. Below is more information about the Porsche Cayenne: 1. In terms of exterior design, the Cayenne's headlights and radiator grille maintain Porsche's traditional style. The vehicle width is 1940mm, but the height is only 1690mm. The ground clearance is 273mm, with a maximum approach angle of 32 degrees. The long-travel suspension springs enhance off-road performance, and the air suspension offers a 116mm adjustment range with six height settings, catering to both off-road and sports car needs—a unique feature of Porsche SUVs. 2. The interior largely follows Porsche's classic design elements, such as the ignition switch on the left side of the steering column, the three-spoke steering wheel, and extensive leather trim. The key difference lies in the five-gauge instrument cluster, where the central dial displays driving-related information instead of a tachometer found in sports car models. Additionally, the adjustable chassis and suspension controls on the center console are exclusive to the Porsche Cayenne. 3. In terms of performance, the diesel version delivers a maximum power output of 240 horsepower and a peak torque of 406 lb-ft, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. The vehicle offers enhanced stability, reduced vibrations, and smoother driving dynamics. Although it lacks an automatic start/stop function, the Cayenne diesel variant includes a system to prevent incorrect fuel usage.

At What RPM Should You Shift Gears?

Shifting gears is generally recommended between 1500-2500 rpm. For fuel efficiency, shifting around 1500-1800 rpm is advisable, with lower gears potentially increased to around 2000 rpm. During the break-in period, it's best to lower the shifting rpm. If you're looking for better performance, shifting around 2000-2500 rpm is more suitable. Additional Information: 1. The relationship between vehicle speed and rpm isn't one-to-one and largely depends on the gear ratio of the transmission. For instance, in a speed vs. rpm gear comparison chart, when the engine is at 2000 rpm, the speed difference between 4th and 5th gears can be significant. Most vehicles typically shift appropriately between 2000-3000 rpm, but shifting from 1st to 2nd gear is often lower, around 2000 rpm or slightly above. 2. Some engines are low-rpm engines, capable of delivering significant torque and power at lower rpms. For such engines, shifting around 2000 rpm or even between 1500-1800 rpm is possible. Generally, non-turbocharged engines don't reach 80% of their torque output until above 2500 rpm, so maintaining power requires shifting between 2500-3000 rpm, though this consumes more fuel.

What does VSC mean in a vehicle?

The VSC in a car stands for Vehicle Stability Control, which is an active safety system developed by Toyota Motor Corporation. Below is related information: 1. Systems with similar functions include BMW's DSC Dynamic Stability Control and Bosch's ESP Electronic Stability Program, which operate on nearly identical mechanisms but use different names for patent registration purposes. 2. VSC is the abbreviation for Voltage Source Converter, referring to a converter composed of devices with turn-off capabilities (such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT)). With the continuous cost reduction and technological maturity of fully-controlled power electronic devices (like GTO-IGBT), Voltage Source Converters (VSC) have found increasingly widespread applications in motor variable frequency speed regulation, flexible AC transmission, and high-voltage DC transmission. 3. There are mainly two types of VSC topologies: one is the traditional three-phase full-bridge converter, and the other is the multi-level converter. The latter can increase output voltage and reduce harmonic content by increasing the number of levels at lower switching frequencies, meeting the capacity requirements for power system applications, and represents the future development direction.

What Causes Black Smoke from Diesel Engines?

Here are the specific reasons for black smoke from diesel engines: 1. Poor diesel quality. The performance indicators of the diesel used do not meet the standard requirements, resulting in poor fuel combustion and black smoke. 2. Blocked air intake. Insufficient air supply during diesel combustion leads to incomplete combustion, causing the diesel engine to emit black smoke. 3. Insufficient compression force. The required pressure does not meet the combustion requirements, worsening the combustion conditions and resulting in black smoke from the diesel engine. 4. Changes in the combustion environment. Long-term use of the diesel engine and other factors can alter the shape and volume of the combustion chamber, further degrading the quality of the fuel-air mixture. Poor mixing leads to suboptimal combustion conditions and the production of black smoke.

Where to Obtain the New Vehicle Registration Certificate?

The vehicle registration certificate is obtained at the local vehicle management office. Below are the relevant details: 1. The vehicle registration certificate serves as the legal proof of vehicle ownership and is kept by the owner, similar to a property deed. Materials required for applying for a vehicle registration certificate. 2. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof. 3. It is important to note that for processing the vehicle registration form, the vehicle must be brought to the local vehicle management office, and the application must be made by the vehicle owner personally; it cannot be delegated to others. 4. If the vehicle registration certificate needs to be reissued, the owner must provide the relevant documents, undergo vehicle inspection at the local vehicle management office, wait for verification of the vehicle information after inspection, then proceed to the service hall for processing. A certain fee is charged for the process, after which the vehicle registration certificate can be collected.

Should I Report the Loss of My Car Key?

Reporting the loss of a car key is not necessary. Here are specific solutions for a lost car key: 1. Contact the manufacturer's after-sales service if the car key is lost. As long as you confirm that you are the car owner or have the owner's authorization, the manufacturer will arrange for the nearest 4S store to provide paid rescue services. 2. The 4S store will tow the car back to the shop and, after verifying your identity again, will configure a new key. 3. Once the new key is successfully matched, the previously lost smart remote key will become invalid. 4. If the car key is stolen, it is recommended to replace all the locks in the car because the old key's invalidity only means it cannot start the vehicle. Since the car door uses a mechanical lock, the old key can still open the car door.
