New cars should not be driven on the highway during the break-in period. The speed is generally limited to 70km/h during the break-in period, and the car can only be driven on the highway after completing the break-in. During the break-in period, it is important to avoid emergency braking, as it can impact the braking system that is still being broken in. New cars should not be overloaded; running a new car at full load during the break-in period can cause damage to the mechanical components. Precautions for new cars during the break-in period: 1. Observe speed limits and avoid highways; 2. Pay attention to controlling the engine speed; 3. Avoid overloading and observe load limits; 4. Do not perform emergency braking; 5. Avoid long-distance driving; 6. Do not change the initial oil too early; 7. Warm up the vehicle before starting.

How much horsepower can the 2.5 Reiz be tuned to?

2.5 Reiz can be tuned to 3.0 horsepower. By optimizing parameter settings to achieve the goals of increasing output horsepower, improving torque, or reducing fuel consumption. Increasing horsepower and torque will correspondingly increase fuel consumption, while decreasing horsepower and torque will correspondingly reduce fuel consumption. More details are as follows: ECU definition: ECU tuning, currently also known as ECU upgrading, car computer upgrading, ECU modification, etc., in China. The proper translation is actually ECU calibration. How ECU tuning works: It involves rewriting the program to finely adjust the fuel supply and ignition timing based on the original factory data. The purpose of ECU tuning: This technology was initially used to improve the performance of F1 and rally racing cars, adjusting engine power output according to different tracks to enhance racing results. Later, it became widely applied to civilian family cars.

Is It Considered Hit-and-Run If You Scratch a Car and Flee?

Scratching a car and fleeing is considered hit-and-run. Below is relevant information about hit-and-run after scratching a car: 1. Legal Basis: If a party scratches someone else's car and then flees the scene, it falls under the circumstances stipulated in Article 3 of the "Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases of Traffic Accidents." This constitutes a hit-and-run, and the party who flees after a traffic accident shall bear full responsibility. 2. Mitigating Circumstances: If there is evidence proving the other party is also at fault, the responsibility may be reduced. If a party intentionally damages, falsifies the scene, or destroys evidence, they shall bear full responsibility.

What are the reasons for oil burning in the 2015 Haval H9?

Here are the reasons for oil burning in the 2015 Haval H9: Poor fuel quality: The primary cause of oil burning in vehicles is poor fuel quality. When fuel does not burn completely, it generates a large amount of carbon deposits. Over time, these deposits accumulate and thicken, with some entering the piston, causing piston ring sticking and clogging the oil return holes. This creates gaps in the engine, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn, resulting in oil burning. Incomplete fuel combustion: Due to traffic congestion, especially for city-driving vehicles that frequently stop and start, fuel does not burn efficiently, leading to significant carbon deposits. These deposits block the oil return holes, preventing the oil scraper ring from removing oil from the cylinder walls. As a result, the oil remains in the combustion chamber and burns, causing oil burning.

How Long Should Car Tires Be Used Before Replacement?

Usage time should not exceed 5 years; mileage under comprehensive road conditions should not exceed 60,000 kilometers. Here is more information about tires: 1. Extending Tire Lifespan: Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary, steer clear of bumpy roads, and maintain proper tire pressure. 2. Brief Description: Car tires are one of the crucial components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities, and bear the weight of the car. The important role tires play in vehicles is increasingly being recognized.

Is It Good to Have Low Tire Pressure in Winter?

No, it is not good. If the tire pressure is too low, the sidewall deformation will intensify, leading to damage and blowouts, and it will also significantly increase fuel consumption. In summer, the pressure can be adjusted 0.1-0.2 lower than the normal value, while in winter, it can be adjusted 0.1-0.2 higher than the normal value. The hazards of excessive tire pressure are as follows: 1. Hazard one: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance. 2. Hazard two: It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. 3. Hazard three: It accelerates the localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan. 4. Hazard four: The vibration of the vehicle body increases, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.

Does the 2021 Fit have a particulate filter?

The 2021 Fit does not have a particulate filter. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Application technology of the particulate filter: The particulate filter utilizes advanced electronic control systems, catalytic coatings, and fuel-additive catalysts. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag-type filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the amount of adsorbed particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide for emission.
