Hybrid cars can still drive when the battery fails. In such cases, both the battery and the electric motor stop working, and the traditional internal combustion engine takes over to continue operation. The working principles of hybrid vehicles are as follows: 1. Series Hybrid: Uses the high burst of electric power for initial acceleration, then assists in enhancing performance; 2. Parallel Hybrid: Combines the functions of the battery and fuel tank to deliver powerful performance. Examples of hybrid car models include the BMW i8, Volvo S80, Honda CR-V, Kia Niro, and Cadillac XT5. Taking the 2017 Dongfeng Honda CR-V as an example, it is positioned as a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4585mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1679mm in height, a wheelbase of 2660mm, and a curb weight of 1659kg.

How to Use Car Lights for Beginners

Methods for beginners to use car lights: 1. Use low beams when starting and driving on well-lit roads; 2. Use high beams on roads without streetlights and few people; 3. When overtaking, alternate between low and high beams to alert the driver ahead; 4. Immediately switch off high beams when a vehicle approaches from the opposite direction to avoid affecting others' driving safety. The car lighting system is one of the essential systems for safe driving, mainly including external lighting lamps, internal lighting lamps, external signal lamps, and internal signal lamps. Passenger cars and trucks usually have only one dome light, which serves not only as interior lighting but also monitors whether the doors are securely closed.

How to Determine if a Car Clutch is Damaged?

Methods to determine if a car clutch is damaged are: 1. Changes in the clutch's semi-engagement point. When driving a manual transmission car, if you notice that the clutch's semi-engagement point needs to be raised slightly to get power, it indicates that the clutch disc needs replacement due to severe wear; 2. Delayed speed response. If the vehicle's power is delayed when stepping on the accelerator, and after ruling out engine issues, it might be a clutch problem, possibly caused by clutch slippage leading to engine idling; 3. Increased body vibration during semi-engagement start on flat roads. If the vehicle shakes more than usual when starting in semi-engagement mode on flat surfaces, it might be due to an uneven clutch surface, requiring clutch disc replacement.
