It may be due to an improperly positioned cable clip or significant friction between the vehicle's door handle lock and the lock post, causing the handle to not retract smoothly when opening or closing the door. Here are some explanations regarding car door handle retraction issues: 1. Improper positioning: The solution for an improperly positioned cable clip is to use a T-20 spline to remove the small cover of the door handle, open the door, locate the small hole on the door edge, and loosen the inner screw with the T-20 spline (be careful not to remove it completely). This allows the small cover of the door handle to be manually adjusted. 2. Excessive friction: The solution for excessive friction is to apply a screw loosening agent to lubricate the door lock post. Lightly spray some screw loosening agent on the post and also apply some to the door lock area to achieve a lubricating effect.

Why Does the Car's Water Temperature Rise Slowly?

Car's water temperature rises slowly due to a faulty thermostat or the cooling fan running constantly. The thermostat operates based on the engine's water temperature. If the thermostat malfunctions and the valve fails to close, the coolant remains in the major circulation loop, potentially causing the engine's water temperature to be too low. Water temperature refers to the temperature of the antifreeze, which is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could damage the radiator or engine cylinder block or head. The method to replace antifreeze is: 1. Open the vehicle's engine hood, and locate the coolant reservoir in the upper right corner; 2. Open the antifreeze drain plug under the radiator to drain the old antifreeze; 3. Add new antifreeze, tighten the cap, and the antifreeze replacement is complete.

When to Use the L Gear in a Sedan?

Utilizing the high torque of the L gear can help in climbing steep inclines, or the lower speed of the L gear can be used for descending long slopes. Below is an introduction to other gear positions in a car: 1. P (Parking) Gear: Generally engaged when the vehicle is stationary. Before shifting from P gear to any other gear, ensure the engine is started and the brake pedal is fully depressed. 2. N (Neutral) Gear: Neutral is typically used during brief stops. The gear lever can be shifted directly from R or D gear into N gear. Before shifting out of N gear, press the brake pedal and avoid pressing the accelerator pedal. 3. D (Drive) Gear: In this gear, the system automatically shifts up or down based on engine load and vehicle speed. 4. S (Sport) Gear: The S gear is mainly used for performance-oriented driving and can also be used for driving on mountainous roads to prevent frequent gear shifting. Press the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into S gear. 5. M (Manual) Gear: Depending on road conditions and driving habits, you can shift up or down by pressing the + or - on the side of the gear lever to enhance driving pleasure. After entering M mode, the combination instrument panel will display the current actual gear.
