Starting in third gear can cause the car to stall because higher gears require higher output speeds and result in lower torque. At this point, the engine cannot keep up with the required speed, leading to stalling. Generally, cars should start in first or second gear. The correct method for starting a car: After confirming the surrounding traffic safety, turn on the left turn signal and set the gear lever to first gear (for automatic transmissions, set to drive mode). While ensuring rear safety, release the handbrake, grasp the right moment to start, release the clutch while accelerating, and merge into the lane as soon as possible according to traffic conditions for normal driving. Method for starting on a slope: Pull the handbrake tight, press the brake pedal, and shift into first gear. Release the brake pedal, quickly accelerate while lifting the clutch. When the clutch is in a semi-engaged state, release the handbrake and accelerate, then fully release the clutch pedal. Precautions for starting on a slope: If the car rolls backward when starting on a slope, immediately press the clutch and brake, pull the handbrake tight, and restart the procedure. If the engine stalls due to not pressing the clutch in time or insufficient acceleration, restart the vehicle. If the slope is not steep and there are no vehicles behind, you can start without using the handbrake if slight rolling back is not dangerous, but the starting action must be quicker.

Its function is to amplify the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering linkage and to alter the direction of force transmission. 2. Symptoms of Damage: Unstable driving direction, increased steering wheel play, difficulty in steering wheel return, understeer or oversteer, steering wheel vibration, directional wobbling, heavy steering, and unusual noises from the steering gear. 3.

Is It a Big Problem If Water Gets Inside the Car When You Forget to Close the Window During Rain?

Forgetting to close the car window during rain and allowing water to enter can cause drainage holes to become blocked. It can also lead to water seepage inside the car and dampness of items. Here are the steps to handle a waterlogged car: 1. Slow down or stop: When encountering uncertain water accumulation, brake promptly. Do not hesitate while driving. Stop and observe the waterline when trucks or large vehicles pass to determine if you can continue driving. 2. Maintain a slow and steady speed without stopping: If the vehicle has already entered a deep water section, stay calm, maintain a steady throttle to control the speed, and avoid driving too fast. Try not to shift gears or stop during this time, and exit the area as quickly as possible. 3. Post-disaster precautions: Even if the vehicle does not appear severely damaged, it is essential to have it inspected at a repair shop to prevent hidden moisture from causing potential hazards. When the weather clears, open the car doors and place the car in the sun, using a fan to blow air nearby. This can effectively speed up the drying process, and the airflow can also help inhibit mold growth.

What are the new traffic regulations for vehicle annual inspection?

Vehicle annual inspection regulations are divided into two parts: exemption scope and inspection cycle. Below are the specific details of the vehicle annual inspection regulations: Exemption Scope: The exemption scope for motor vehicles has been expanded from the original 6 years and under for vehicles with 6 seats or fewer to include non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats. This means that after November 20th, non-commercial small and mini passenger vehicles under 6 years old with 7-9 seats can enjoy the exemption policy. Inspection Cycle: Exempt vehicles can skip on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring formalities every two years. From years 6-10, inspections are required annually. The new regulations indicate that the inspection cycle for private vehicles remains unchanged for the first 6 years, but for vehicles aged 6-10, the inspection frequency changes from annual to biennial. This means exempt vehicles will have biennial inspections within 10 years, with only the 6th and 8th years requiring on-site inspections.
