Can the car still be driven with a VSS malfunction? Here is some information about VSS malfunction: 1. VSS stands for Vehicle Speed Sensor. A VSS malfunction means that the speed information cannot be transmitted to the instrument panel via the CAN bus, resulting in missing or invalid speed information. In other words, the speedometer may no longer display the vehicle's speed. 2. The speed information is transmitted to the instrument panel via the CAN bus and is displayed on the speedometer in m.p.h (miles per hour) or km/h (kilometers per hour). If this information is missing or invalid, the speedometer will automatically reset to zero. If the tires have been changed to non-original sizes, the programming of the engine control module (PCM) needs to be updated, which can also be done using a diagnostic tool.

Where is the engine number of the Luzun?

The engine number of the Luzun is located on the upper part of the engine block, while the chassis number is in the engine compartment, usually consisting of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be viewed through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license has the engine number printed on it, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, and each engine can only have one engine number, with each engine's number being unique.

What does a reversible contraflow lane mean?

Reversible contraflow lane, also known as a contraflow left-turn lane. Simply put, it involves adjusting the traffic light sequence to allow vehicles making a left turn to use the adjacent opposing lane, effectively creating an additional left-turn lane to reduce traffic congestion. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of reversible contraflow lanes: The primary purpose of setting up "reversible contraflow lanes" is to make full use of road resources at intersections. By adapting to the flow characteristics of traffic during different time periods, these lanes alter the path of vehicles, alleviating traffic pressure and improving efficiency. 2. Precautions when entering reversible contraflow lanes: When the signal light for the "reversible contraflow lane" turns red, all vehicles are prohibited from entering. Violators will be penalized by traffic authorities for running a red light, incurring 6 penalty points and a fine. If a traffic accident occurs, the violator will be held accountable. Only motor vehicles are permitted in "reversible contraflow lanes"; non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to enter.

Can I Drive on the Highway During the Break-in Period of a New Car?

It is acceptable to drive on the highway during the break-in period of a new car. Here is relevant information: 1. Speed Control: Although the new car has undergone cold running-in, it has not been broken in through actual driving. Therefore, when driving on the highway, it is essential to control the speed, preferably keeping it below 100 km/h. Additionally, monitor the vehicle's operating time to avoid prolonged high-speed driving, and take breaks at service areas along the way. 2. Smooth Driving: Avoid sudden acceleration and emergency braking when driving on the highway. Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system but also affects the car's chassis and engine. Hence, strive to maintain steady driving and refrain from abrupt braking. Apply the brakes gently, preferably using a pumping method. 3. Proper Gear Usage: When driving on the highway, for manual transmission cars, use gears flexibly and avoid prolonged driving in low gears. For automatic transmission cars, make reasonable use of the S gear and manual mode.

Can the brake and clutch be pressed together when downshifting?

They can be pressed together. However, when pressing them, you need to pay attention: the clutch pedal can be pressed directly to the bottom, but the brake pedal should be pressed gradually. Never press the brake pedal directly to the bottom, as this will cause the vehicle to lock up, which can have a certain impact on the vehicle's usage. Here are some related explanations: 1. Definition of braking: The brake of a motor vehicle is also called the deceleration device. 2. Principle of braking: The principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install a corresponding belt or disc on the machine. Under external force, it generates braking torque. 3. Explanation of the clutch: The clutch of a motor vehicle is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission.
