You need to press the brake, otherwise the car will roll. Here are the relevant details: Neutral gear: Neutral gear usually refers to the state where the gear lever of a motor vehicle is not engaged in any forward or reverse gear, and the transmission is completely separated from the drive wheels. The neutral gear for manual transmissions is in the middle position, while for automatic transmissions, it is marked with an "N". Note: Coasting in neutral has long been considered a fuel-saving practice, especially among most truck drivers who often turn off the engine and coast in neutral to save fuel. However, for cars with fuel-injected engines, coasting in neutral should be used with caution, and turning off the engine while coasting in neutral is not recommended.

Reasons for Abnormal Noises in Car Front Shock Absorbers During Winter

Causes of abnormal noises in shock absorbers during winter are as follows: 1. Extremely low temperatures causing the shock absorber rubber to become too hard. 2. Lack of lubrication between the metal rod and shock absorber sleeve due to prolonged use. 3. Shock absorber oil leakage or gaps in the connecting ball joint. Please promptly inspect and repair the shock absorbers if the following phenomena occur: 1. Poor vehicle handling during sharp turns, with a tendency to drift towards the outside of the curve. 2. Inaccurate steering feel during large-radius turns, with a tendency for the car to sway. 3. Noticeably increased front suspension vibration transmitted through the steering wheel when driving on rough roads. 4. Dull impact noises perceptible to occupants when encountering road bumps. 5. Wheel hopping during acceleration, resulting in sluggish acceleration.

How Long Does an ETC Battery Last?

Typically, an ETC battery has a lifespan of 3 years. Currently, ETC devices are powered either by solar charging or via a charging cable. If any quality issues arise with the ETC device within the 2-year warranty period, you can have it repaired or replaced for free at an ETC bank service outlet. For wired ETC devices, if they are not used for an extended period, it is recommended to charge them once a month. This helps prevent the ETC battery's lifespan from being affected by self-discharge. There are also solar-powered ETC versions, which do not require deliberate charging if used frequently. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, meaning electronic toll system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the vehicle owner's valid ID card and the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page stamped with the most recent annual inspection. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway toll fees is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under an individual's name. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle for which ETC is to be installed. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoid the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon, as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions; Cost-saving: Reduce costs by minimizing vehicle start and stop frequency, decreasing wear and fuel consumption. Users can also enjoy toll discounts; Efficiency improvement: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC updates faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing ETC without considering this may increase blind spots for the driver. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: ETC electronic tags require power, but generally, they do not need to be charged or have their batteries replaced, as they have a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel.

Does a Dirty Fuel Injector Increase Fuel Consumption?

A dirty fuel injector can indeed increase fuel consumption. The primary reason is the use of incorrect oil viscosity, which leads to spark plug aging and insufficient ignition. Early symptoms of a dirty fuel injector include difficulty starting the engine when cold or weak acceleration after startup. Below are some noticeable signs of a dirty fuel injector: 1. Increased engine noise, especially in lower gears and below 2500 RPM. 2. Unresponsive throttle, uneven acceleration, and a noticeable throttle lag. When revving in neutral, the tachometer needle rises slowly. 3. Minor idle vibrations. 4. Frequent shaking during startup that is hard to control, with a slight misfire sensation when shifting gears at low RPM in 1st and 2nd gears.

What are the solutions for ix25 sunroof rattling?

ix25 sunroof rattling can be categorized into three scenarios. Below are the relevant descriptions: 1. If the rattling is caused by debris in the sunroof track, cleaning out the debris can resolve the issue. 2. If the rattling is due to loose interior panels in the sunroof, inserting non-woven fabric can help. 3. If the rattling results from insufficient lubrication in the track, applying grease to both sides of the track can solve the problem. Below are some maintenance recommendations for car sunroofs: 1. During car washing, avoid directing high-pressure water jets at the sealing strip. This can not only deform the strip under pressure, leading to water leakage inside the car, but also significantly damage the strip. 2. On extremely bumpy roads, it’s best not to fully open the sunroof, as excessive vibration between the sunroof and track may cause component deformation or even damage the motor. Additionally, never open the sunroof during rain or car washing. 3. The primary concern with sunroof use is water leakage. Proper usage and maintenance can effectively prevent this. Before the rainy season, besides cleaning dust from the track and sealing strip gaps, spray a small amount of plastic protectant or talcum powder on the sealing strip and other components.
