Releasing the clutch fully in first gear without accelerating will not cause the engine to stall. However, if the clutch is released too quickly, increased resistance without sufficient fuel supply may lead to stalling. Below are some precautions for driving a manual transmission car: When shifting gears, the driver should quickly depress and release the clutch, avoiding the semi-engaged state. Prolonged semi-engagement can cause rapid wear of the clutch disc, reducing its service life. Ensure the clutch is fully depressed when shifting gears. Failing to do so not only makes it difficult to engage the gear accurately but also causes severe damage to the manual transmission over time. Regularly inspect and clean the friction disc and pressure plate in the clutch. Replace the friction disc if cracks, extensive burning, or wear below 3.4 mm thickness are observed. After cleaning or replacing the clutch bearing, apply an appropriate amount of grease.

I've been driving manual transmission cars for almost ten years, and I'm always extra cautious when starting at intersections. If you don't press the accelerator in first gear and simply release the clutch completely, the car will definitely stall, especially when the engine idle speed is low or the road has a slope. Last time, I forgot to give it gas when starting on a slope—the car shook a few times and then stalled. Luckily, the car behind was far enough away, so no accident happened. New drivers should take note: fully releasing the clutch requires the engine to output sufficient torque, and at idle speed, the power isn't enough to support the vehicle's weight. When starting normally, you need to lightly press the accelerator while at the half-clutch point, stabilize the RPM, and then release the clutch. Don't find it troublesome—practice makes perfect, and safety comes first. This situation is more likely to occur in winter when temperatures are low, but with a few more practices, you'll master the timing.

Is it necessary to buy a car at a 4S store?

It is not necessary to buy a car at a 4S store; you can also purchase from direct stores in auto trade cities. A 4S store, fully known as an Automobile Sales Service 4S store (Automobile-Sales-Service-shop-4S), is a car sales enterprise integrating four functions: vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). Auto trading companies, commonly referred to as auto traders, are also known as secondary dealers. The term 'secondary dealer' is relative to the manufacturer's authorized service centers, i.e., 4S stores, as secondary dealers are small car dealers without manufacturer certification. They are usually distribution outlets of primary agents or regional general agents. Differences between 4S stores and auto traders: Different business scopes: 4S stores cover vehicle sales, spare parts, after-sales service, and information feedback, while auto traders mainly focus on vehicle sales. Different price costs: 4S stores have enormous operating costs and must raise sales prices to maintain profits. Auto traders have lower operating costs, requiring only relevant sales personnel, with a less bloated organizational structure. To compete with 4S stores for customers, their sales prices are usually cheaper. Different sources of vehicles: 4S stores mainly source vehicles directly from manufacturers, while auto traders primarily obtain vehicles from 4S stores. Different sales brands: 4S stores only sell a single brand produced by the manufacturer, while auto traders can sell almost all car brands available in the market.

How Long Can You Drive with the Coolant Light On?

The coolant light being on means you should not continue driving. A coolant warning indicates that the car's coolant level is insufficient, or it may be an alert for an overheated radiator. Continuing to drive in this condition can cause the engine temperature to rise further, potentially damaging the engine. To avoid unnecessary losses and ensure safety, you must stop driving immediately. Relevant information is as follows: If the coolant warning is due to the engine overheating, it is best to pull over, keep the engine idling, open the hood, and allow it to cool down until the temperature warning disappears. If the issue is low coolant levels and no coolant is available for immediate replenishment, you can add an appropriate amount of purified water—preferably soft water (distilled water)—but avoid using hard water like tap water. Do not add too much, as it may alter the coolant's boiling point.

What brand of engine oil is used for Hyundai Elantra?

Modern Elantra's original engine oil brand is Shell engine oil. The recommended engine oil model on Hyundai Elantra's official manual is 5W-30. The viscosity of engine oil will change with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperature conditions. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the smoother the cold start of the car will be. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it can maintain viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil of Hyundai Elantra is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow the engine oil to flow back to the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug, and use an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter, and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill up to three-quarters of a barrel; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks at the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
