If the vehicle speed drops significantly, you can skip gears when downshifting. While driving, if you feel the engine lacks power and the speed gradually decreases, it indicates that the current gear can no longer maintain normal vehicle operation, and you should promptly and swiftly shift to a lower gear. However, during a driver's license test, you can only downshift one gear at a time. Below is additional information on downshifting: Downshifting essentials: Release the accelerator pedal, quickly depress the clutch pedal, move the gear lever into neutral, then release the clutch pedal, quickly press the accelerator pedal once with your right foot (adding "empty throttle"), depress the clutch pedal again swiftly, move the gear lever into the next lower gear, and release the clutch pedal using the quick-pause-slow technique to continue driving in the new gear.

Where is the Air Conditioning Filter of Changan Honor Located?

Changan Honor's air conditioning filter is located behind the battery in the engine compartment. You need to open the hood and find the rear side of the battery on the driver's side. The air conditioning filter is a black plastic cover. Before air enters the cylinders, it must pass through the fine filtration of the air filter. Here is some additional information: When a car is driving with the air conditioning on, it draws in external air into the cabin. However, the air contains many different particles, such as dust, pollen, soot, grinding particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without the air conditioning filter, these particles enter the cabin, not only polluting the car's air conditioning system and reducing the performance of the cooling system, but also causing allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and the influence of odors, all of which affect driving safety.
