New energy vehicles can be charged at home. Generally, when a new energy vehicle is delivered from the factory, the manufacturer provides a portable charger compatible with household power sources. However, the charging speed is slower compared to using a charging station. Slower charging with household electricity: Charging an electric vehicle at home does not violate electricity regulations, but since most household electricity is 220V, it can only support slow charging for electric vehicles. It often takes more than 8 hours to fully charge, making it more suitable for overnight charging. Besides the limitation of slow charging with household electricity, another major issue is that most households now use tiered electricity pricing. Frequent charging of electric vehicles may lead to reaching the third tier of electricity pricing within 2 to 3 months. Home charging stations recommended: If you have a fixed parking space or garage at home, it is advisable to install a charging station for more economical and faster charging. With a 380V fast charging option, the battery can be fully charged in about an hour or so. Additionally, the electricity pricing for home charging stations does not follow the tiered pricing system. Many domestic pure electric vehicle manufacturers now offer free charging stations and installation of related equipment upon purchase.

Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift Gears First?

When starting the vehicle, you should first shift into gear and then release the handbrake. The correct operating procedure when starting is: after getting into the car, shift the gear lever into the starting gear, sound the horn, turn on the turn signal, while observing the front, sides, and rearview mirrors to check for any pedestrians or vehicles passing behind, ensuring there are no obstacles to starting. Pay special attention to safety, firmly hold the steering wheel, activate the left turn signal, and release the parking brake lever. The reason for shifting into gear before releasing the handbrake when starting is to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. If the handbrake is released first, the vehicle will be in neutral for a period before shifting into gear. Moreover, when starting, the driver may not know if the ground is level. If it's inclined, the car may roll backward in neutral, potentially causing an accident.

What are the symptoms of a faulty transmission valve body?

Symptoms of a faulty transmission valve body: 1. Gear engagement shock: When starting the vehicle and shifting into D or R gear, there will be a strong sense of jerking and impact. This issue typically occurs after the vehicle has been driven for 80,000 to 120,000 kilometers; 2. Gear shifting shock: Mainly noticeable in 2nd and 3rd gears, accompanied by slight slipping signs, where the engine RPM seems high but the speed does not increase accordingly, and there is a lack of power during upshifting; 3. Warning light on: The valve body contains electronic components such as oil temperature sensors, speed sensors, and solenoid valves. When abnormal data is detected, the vehicle's computer enters a self-check mode, triggering the warning light to alert the driver. This may also cause the transmission to lock in a certain gear, limiting the vehicle's functionality to prevent further damage.

Where is the fan relay located in the Roewe i6?

The fan relay of the Roewe i6 is located in the left relay box. A relay is an automatic control device where the output undergoes a step change when the input reaches a certain value. Automotive relays are relays used in vehicles, characterized by their ability to switch high load power, high impact and vibration resistance, and are composed of a magnetic circuit system, contact system, and restoration mechanism. The Roewe i6 has a body length, width, and height of 4671mm, 1835mm, and 1464mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2715mm. The vehicle features front-engine, front-wheel drive, and the installed engine has a maximum power of 124kw and a maximum torque of 250nm.

What is the Function of a Shock Absorber?

The function of a shock absorber is to suppress the oscillations caused by the rebound of springs after absorbing shocks and to mitigate impacts from the road surface, thereby improving the ride comfort of the vehicle. There are three types of shock absorbers commonly used in automobiles: double-tube shock absorbers, gas-filled shock absorbers, and adjustable damping shock absorbers. When the vehicle frame and axle undergo reciprocating relative motion, the piston inside the shock absorber also moves back and forth within the cylinder. This causes the oil inside the shock absorber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through narrow orifices. The friction between the oil and the orifice walls, as well as the internal friction among the liquid molecules, generates a damping force that converts the vibrational energy of the vehicle body and frame into heat. This heat is then absorbed by the oil and the shock absorber housing before being dissipated into the atmosphere. The magnitude of the damping force varies with the relative speed between the vehicle frame and the axle (or wheels) and is also influenced by the viscosity of the oil.

What are the techniques for changing lanes in Subject 3?

Subject 3 lane changing techniques include: using the turn signal for at least 3 seconds, ensuring a safe distance, steering gently, changing lanes quickly, and being cautious when changing lanes in special road sections. The method for changing lanes: first turn on the signal, then look at the rearview mirror and both sides, count to 3 seconds before changing direction. If there is a car and you cannot change lanes, brake to slow down and shift to 2nd gear, wait for the car to pass before changing lanes, then accelerate and shift to 3rd gear after changing lanes. If the turn signal does not turn off automatically after changing lanes, remember to turn it off manually. The requirements for changing lanes in Subject 3: Changing lanes is also called merging. This test item assesses the student's ability to adapt to road conditions and traffic flow. The student is required to complete the lane change action within 150 meters after the test command is given, ensuring the timing is correct without affecting the normal driving of other vehicles, and the steering is steady without deviation.
