CVT transmissions cannot coast in neutral, and coasting in neutral is also a driving behavior explicitly prohibited by Chinese law, which is very dangerous. Hazards of coasting in neutral: Most fuel injection engine control systems have a deceleration fuel reduction or fuel cut-off function. For these fuel injection engines, coasting in neutral is no longer necessary for fuel-saving operations. In fact, coasting in neutral can turn "fuel-saving" into "fuel-wasting" and is highly harmful to the vehicle. Fault issues caused by coasting in neutral: When driving in gear, the transmission oil can be cooled by circulating water through the oil pump. In neutral, the transmission oil cannot be circulated and cooled by the oil pump. Prolonged coasting in neutral can cause the oil temperature to rise, burning the clutch plates immersed in it and leading to transmission failure.

To what extent can wheel hub damage render it unusable?

Generally, it mainly depends on the level of deformation and cracking of the wheel hub. If the wheel rim is deformed or cracked, the tire should be tested on a dynamic balancing machine. If the tire shows signs of shaking, then the tire cannot be used anymore. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Degree of damage: If the wheel rim is only slightly impacted, it will not cause significant harm to the suspension system. If the impact is more severe, it is necessary to go to a repair shop for inspection, including four-wheel alignment checks, etc. 2. Hazards: If the tire hits the curb, it will cause certain damage to the tire, wheel rim, suspension, and shock absorber. In severe cases, it can damage the tire, causing bulges on the tire sidewall, tire blowouts, wheel hub deformation, and may also damage the suspension system, leading to body deformation and noise during driving.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the new CR-V?

The minimum ground clearance of the new CR-V is 179mm. Introduction to ground clearance: The ground clearance of a vehicle refers to the distance between the ground and the lowest point of the rigid components at the bottom of the vehicle when it is parked on a level surface. It is also commonly known as the minimum ground clearance. This is an important parameter in automotive design, as the size of the ground clearance directly affects the vehicle's off-road capability and appearance. Large ground clearance: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. Small ground clearance: The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower the center of gravity, which increases stability.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel While the Car is Stationary?

Car makes squeaking sound when turning the steering wheel while stationary due to the following reasons: Loose shock absorber mounting: Long-term vibrations during driving can cause the mounting nuts to loosen, leading to abnormal noises from the shock absorber. Tightening the mounting nuts can resolve the issue. Shock absorber oil deficiency: Insufficient oil in the shock absorber can also cause abnormal noises. Check if the shock absorber is leaking oil. If it is leaking, it is recommended to replace the shock absorber directly. If there is no oil leakage, inspect other components of the shock absorber system. Worn rubber bushings: Worn rubber bushings at both ends of the shock absorber create gaps at the mounting points, causing noise while the car is moving. Replacing the rubber bushings can solve the problem.

What kind of engine oil should be used for Lavida Plus?

Lavida Plus can use original factory oil or synthetic oil. Synthetic oil: Using synthetic oil can appropriately extend the oil change interval. Oil selection: For oil selection, if you prioritize long-lasting performance, Mobil oil can be used; if you value the cleaning ability of the oil for the engine, Shell lubricants can be used; for oils requiring strong oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell oil with strong cleaning ability can be chosen. Full synthetic oil: Naturally aspirated engines have relatively general requirements for oil quality. For example, Lavida 1.6 can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil, and if the budget allows, full synthetic oil can be used.

How many points are deducted for not using the turn signal during a right-angle turn?

Not using the turn signal during a right-angle turn results in a deduction of 10 points. The regulations for using turn signals on motor vehicles are as follows: 1. The left turn signal should be activated in advance when turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn; 2. The right turn signal should be activated in advance when turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or parking by the roadside. The correct methods for using turn signals include: 1. Activating the left turn signal when entering a highway; 2. Activating the right turn signal when exiting a highway; 3. Activating the left turn signal when merging from an auxiliary road onto a main road; 4. Activating the right turn signal when transitioning from a main road to an auxiliary road.
