When in neutral gear, the car may roll because there is no braking force or traction. Therefore, if you need to park for an extended period, you should engage the handbrake. Additional information: 1. Precautions: For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must and can only be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting the engine. This is because if the gear is in reverse or drive when starting, and the driver forgets to press the brake, the vehicle may move immediately, which can easily lead to accidents. Many manufacturers now design a protection program for automatic transmission vehicles, meaning the vehicle will not start if the gear is not in P or N. 2. Hazards of coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission: Automatic transmission vehicles should not coast in neutral. The mechanical principles of automatic and manual transmissions differ. When coasting, the engine speed and transmission speed may not match, which can cause overheating. No type of automatic transmission should be coasted in N (Neutral), as it can easily damage the transmission.

Why is the tire pressure always insufficient?

Tire pressure is always insufficient due to abnormal tire pressure, unreset tire pressure monitoring, or damaged tire pressure sensors. Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will sound when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. At this point, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset tire pressure monitoring: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will turn on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

What to do if the car paint is slightly chipped?

Methods for repairing chipped car paint include: 1. Gently polish the chipped area with scratch wax to simply fix the paint chipping issue; 2. Purchase a touch-up pen that matches the car color and apply it to the scratch to cover the unsightly chipped paint; 3. Use nail polish in a similar color or clear transparent to fill and repair the chipped area; 4. Visit a professional paint shop for repair. When a small piece of car paint is scraped off, first determine whether it is the original paint or just the surface layer that is damaged. If only the surface paint is chipped, you can use a "nano scratch repair cloth" to restore it with a simple wipe. Whether it's minor or deep paint damage, you can also buy a touch-up pen for repair.
