A new car can drive on the highway, but it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, full load, and aggressive driving behaviors. Here are some related introductions about driving on the highway: 1. Introduction to the highway: The highway refers to high-speed driving, which is compared to medium and low speeds. In an environment where low speed is the mainstream, low speed is considered normal or standard speed, while in an environment where medium speed is the mainstream, medium speed is considered normal or standard speed. 2. Precautions for driving on the highway: When driving on the highway, it is important to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. When the speed is above 100km/h, keep a distance of more than 100 meters. There are distance confirmation signs on the highway, which can be used to confirm the distance. Stay away from trucks; when driving at high speed, do not drive side by side with trucks or follow closely behind them. Try to overtake trucks. Stay in the middle lane; the leftmost lane on the highway is the overtaking lane, while large trucks generally stay in the rightmost lane.

I just picked up my new car and drove it on the highway back to my hometown. It felt very smooth with no issues. Nowadays, manufacturers test the engine before delivery, but I’m still being cautious. For the first 1,000 kilometers, I’m especially careful not to let the RPM go too high, keeping it between 2,000 and 3,000, and avoiding prolonged cruising at 120 km/h. This helps the piston rings and cylinder walls break in better, reducing wear risks. I usually drive at mixed speeds, like occasionally accelerating to overtake and then stabilizing, which helps all components adapt. Running a new car on the highway can actually be beneficial for early adaptation to real road conditions, but avoid stomping on the gas or overloading. During the first maintenance, the mechanic said I handled it correctly, and the car’s performance has been maintained well. Regularly checking tire pressure and oil levels is also crucial to prevent small issues from becoming big problems. Driving steadily on the highway means a new car can still go the distance.

What Causes Engine Oil in the Radiator?

Reasons for engine oil in the radiator: 1. The presence of engine oil in the radiator may be due to cracks in the cylinder liner. Under high pressure, the oil can seep directly into the car's radiator through these gaps. 2. If the oil cooler or transmission cooler is damaged, it can also cause the radiator to be contaminated with engine oil, so these components need to be checked. 3. If there is engine oil in the radiator and the high-temperature warning light is also on, it is highly likely that the cylinder head gasket is damaged. Since the fuel in the cylinder is under high pressure for a long time, the cylinder liner may become damaged, causing the oil and coolant passages to become interconnected.

What are the reasons for excessive NOx emissions in vehicles?

Excessive NOx emissions in vehicles are caused by clogged fuel injectors, which result in excessively high oxygen levels inside the engine. The immediately emitted CH and CO from the engine are too low to reduce NOx, thus affecting the vehicle's exhaust emissions to exceed standards. Vehicle exhaust is the waste gas produced during vehicle use, containing hundreds of different compounds. The pollutants include solid suspended particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead, sulfur oxides, etc. Sulfur dioxide in the exhaust has a strong irritating odor and, when reaching certain concentrations, can easily lead to acid rain, causing soil and water acidification, and affecting the growth of crops and forests.

Can the Accord Hybrid Get a Green License Plate?

The Accord Hybrid is a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle and cannot qualify for a green license plate. Gasoline-electric hybrid cars are not considered true new energy vehicles; strictly speaking, they are only classified as energy-saving vehicles. The engine of a hybrid car still relies on fuel, though it recovers excess energy from the engine and friction from the brakes, storing it in capacitors when coasting or braking. While hybrid technology achieves fuel efficiency without requiring external charging, these vehicles still consume gasoline and produce emissions. The Accord Hybrid has body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.

How to reset the tire pressure light on the 2018 Lavida?

The method to reset the tire pressure light on the 2018 Lavida: 1. First, check the condition of the vehicle's tires. Replace any damaged tires promptly. If there are no safety hazards, you can replenish the tire pressure; 2. After replenishing the tire pressure, turn off the ignition switch and then restart it to allow the vehicle to perform a self-check. If the tire pressure warning light still appears at this time, you can press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button on the right side in front of the gear lever for about five seconds. You will hear a 'ding' sound, indicating that the tire pressure reset is successful; 3. At this point, you can release the button and check if the tire pressure warning light appears on the dashboard. If the tire pressure warning light still appears, some Lavida vehicles use an automatic tire pressure monitoring system. Therefore, driving the vehicle for a while allows the system to monitor the tire pressure, and the tire pressure warning light will automatically turn off when the pressure is normal. The body dimensions of the 2018 Lavida are 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.

How to eliminate the code on the car?

If the car displays a code fault warning, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for handling and elimination. This fault code indicates that the car's anti-theft system has been activated, and the car cannot be ignited. If an attempt is made to ignite, the car will be locked. The car anti-theft system refers to a system that prevents the car itself or items on the car from being stolen. Its components include an electronically controlled remote or key, an electronic control circuit, an alarm device, and an actuator. The code system adds electronic identification to the car's locks, generally equipped with remote control technology, which is a more advanced anti-theft technology with functions such as anti-theft alarm, door open warning, and car-finding.
