Parking with the engine running means keeping the engine in an idle state, so the car cannot move. Conditions for keeping the engine running: Generally, it is only necessary to keep the engine running when the engine temperature is too high, allowing the coolant to continuously circulate and dissipate heat; another situation is when the battery is low on charge, requiring idling for a period to recharge. Introduction to engine idling: Engine idle performance has a significant impact on emissions, fuel consumption, and comfort, making it an important indicator for evaluating engine performance; during idling, the engine is disconnected from the transmission system, and the throttle pedal is completely released, so the engine only overcomes its own resistance without outputting power.

What is the Motor Vehicle QR Code?

Motor Vehicle QR Code contains license identification information such as the issuing authority, unique serial number, license plate number, etc. It also includes the vehicle's technical parameters and owner information, which can only be scanned by internal traffic police equipment. The specific details are as follows: 1. Combating fake plates: This QR code can only be scanned by a dedicated system. Of course, this also protects citizens' privacy and prevents the leakage of personal information. Traffic police on duty can scan this QR code with professional equipment to access the vehicle's records, ensuring the uniqueness of the license plate while enhancing efforts to combat fake plates. 2. Uniqueness: The QR code and other serial identifiers on the new license plate are unique. The license plate is marked with a unique production serial identifier, achieving uniqueness and traceability of the plate, significantly improving the informatization and precision capabilities in detecting and combating fake plates and certificates.

Is 7 liters of fuel consumption considered high?

7 liters of fuel consumption is not considered high. A fuel consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers means that the car consumes 7 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers driven. Related information is as follows: 1. Constant speed fuel consumption: Constant speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driving at a constant speed on good road conditions. Since driving at a constant speed is a basic operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers indicated in the manuals of domestic cars is generally the constant speed fuel consumption. 2. Difference: Since cars often experience various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling during actual driving, the constant speed fuel consumption is often lower and differs significantly from the actual fuel consumption. Especially for cars frequently driven short distances in urban areas, the difference is even greater.

At What Temperature in Winter Can You Turn On the Air Conditioning?

You can turn on the air conditioning for heating when the indoor temperature is below 20℃. Here are some relevant tips for using car air conditioning in winter: 1. Optimal Temperature: The best temperature setting for winter air conditioning is 20℃. A moderate indoor temperature is not only beneficial for health but also prevents the air conditioning from overworking. When heating, start with a low fan speed and switch to medium speed after half an hour. 2. Precautions: For car owners who prefer higher indoor temperatures, be cautious not to set the temperature at the extreme 30℃ that the air conditioning can handle in winter. Otherwise, it may cause the air conditioning to start frequently or run non-stop, increasing power consumption and potentially damaging the air conditioning compressor in severe cases.

Can hybrid cars save fuel?

Hybrid cars can save fuel. The reason hybrid cars do not need to be charged is that when the vehicle does not require high power from the engine, part of the engine's power is used to generate electricity and store it in the battery. Additionally, the kinetic energy reduced during vehicle deceleration and braking is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery. The characteristics of hybrid cars during use include: 1. Fuel efficiency—they use electric power for low-speed driving and switch to fuel only during high-speed driving when high power output is needed, reducing fuel consumption and making them suitable for urban driving; 2. Strong acceleration—electric drive provides rapid acceleration without delay; 3. Low noise—electric drive operates quietly and comfortably without the noise of an engine.

Does the Electronic Parking Brake Automatically Release When Starting?

The electronic parking brake does not automatically release when starting; the driver needs to manually release it. The correct method to use the electronic parking brake is: 1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop; 2. Shift the gear into P (Park) position; 3. Press the electronic parking brake function button to engage the parking brake; 4. Shift the gear into D (Drive) position; 5. Press the accelerator pedal; 6. Press the electronic parking brake release button to disengage the electronic parking brake and start the vehicle. The working principle of the electronic parking brake involves an electronic button control mechanism that utilizes the friction between the brake disc and brake pads to achieve parking brake control. The functions of the parking brake are: 1. To provide braking when parking on flat or inclined surfaces; 2. To prevent the vehicle from moving unintentionally when unattended, thereby avoiding traffic accidents.
