Shifting from D to S gear in an automatic car does not require pressing the brake, and switching between other driving gears also does not require pressing the brake. Situations where you need to press the brake in an automatic car: 1. Shifting from P gear to other gears requires pressing the brake; 2. Shifting from N gear to D or R gear requires pressing the brake. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic car: 1. Ensure the gear is in N or P before starting the engine, and remember to press the brake when starting; 2. Gear shifting should be timely, accurate, decisive, and quick—avoid hesitation; 3. Upshift after accelerating and downshift after decelerating; 4. Use D gear for driving on flat roads; 5. No need to press the shift button when switching between N, D, and 3 gears.

What does the E/S gear in Mercedes-Benz mean?

Audi's E gear stands for Economy mode, and S stands for Sport mode. Below is relevant information about Sport mode and Economy mode: The difference between Sport mode and Economy mode: The biggest difference between Economy mode and Sport mode is that Economy mode saves more energy. Economy mode is relatively more stable and comfortable, suitable for daily use, while Sport mode accelerates faster and is suitable for overtaking. When Economy mode is activated, the transmission response slows down, favoring lower RPM conditions to achieve fuel-saving effects. Characteristics of Sport mode and Economy mode: Economy mode primarily makes comprehensive judgments during vehicle movement on conditions that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear and engine RPM. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to provide the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to Sport driving mode. Sport mode offers stronger power and more aggressive torque output. Under the same throttle depth, Sport mode provides greater engine output, and when the throttle is fully pressed, the torque in Sport mode rises more directly and rapidly.

What is the function of a car exhaust pipe?

Car exhaust pipes can reduce vibration and noise, and extend the service life of the exhaust muffler system. The main material is stainless steel. Since the exhaust gas from the car has high pressure when leaving the engine, the noise it produces is extremely loud and unacceptable. At this time, the main role in noise reduction is played by the car's exhaust pipe. Extended information about the car exhaust system is as follows: 1. Definition: The car exhaust system mainly discharges the exhaust gas produced by the engine's operation while reducing the pollution and noise of the emitted exhaust gas. The car exhaust system is mainly used in light vehicles, micro vehicles, buses, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles. The car exhaust system refers to the system that collects and discharges exhaust gas, generally composed of the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, catalytic converter, exhaust temperature sensor, car muffler, and exhaust tailpipe. 2. Exhaust pathway: To reduce noise at the source, it is first necessary to understand the mechanism and pattern of noise generation by the source. Then, by improving the machine's design, adopting advanced processes, reducing the excitation force that generates noise, lowering the response of noise-generating components in the system to the excitation force, and improving machining and assembly accuracy, the goal can be achieved.

Does Engine Start-Stop Damage the Car?

Engine start-stop technology generally does not damage the car. Specific explanations are as follows: The start-stop function only stops the engine from working, but the oil system does not stop. This means that although the engine is not rotating, the oil will still flow inside the engine, ensuring better lubrication and protection for the engine when the car starts again. Introduction to Start-Stop Technology: 1. Engine Auto Start-Stop Technology: Engine auto start-stop technology is a system that can automatically control engine shutdown and ignition, known as STOP&START, abbreviated as STT. Vehicles equipped with this technology will automatically shut down the engine when temporarily stopping during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system will automatically restart the engine. Generally, the auto start-stop function is enabled by default, but the owner can choose to turn it off if not needed. 2. Advantages: The main advantage of engine start-stop technology is fuel savings. Whether waiting at a red light or in traffic, the auto start-stop technology can automatically turn off the engine when stopped to save fuel. 3. Disadvantages: The cost of using the car increases. Cars with an auto start-stop system are several thousand dollars more expensive than those without. Additionally, due to the frequent starting and stopping of the engine, higher quality oil is required, further increasing maintenance costs.

Can People with Hearing Impairment Learn to Drive?

People with hearing impairment can learn to drive. Those with hearing disabilities who meet the specified hearing requirements after wearing hearing aids are eligible to obtain a driver's license. Hearing requirements: The ability to discern the direction of sound sources with each ear 50 centimeters away from a tuning fork. Individuals with hearing impairments who can meet these criteria by using hearing aids may apply for a motor vehicle driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission vehicles. Age restrictions for obtaining an international driver's license: 1. United States: No upper age limit for drivers. In Florida, drivers aged 80 and above must personally visit a DMV for a vision test or provide a vision test certificate from an ophthalmologist when applying for a license renewal. Illinois requires drivers aged 75 to 80 to renew their licenses every 4 years and undergo a road test. 2. United Kingdom: No upper age limit for elderly drivers. Drivers aged 70 and above must declare every 3 years that they do not have conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, or heart disease to retain their driving privileges. 3. South Korea: No upper age limit for elderly drivers. However, drivers over 70 must pass a cognitive ability test to continue holding a license. 4. Germany: Driver's licenses can be held for life, and elderly drivers are not required to undergo regular medical examinations. This means elderly drivers with a license have the right to drive as long as they wish. 5. Japan: Authorities are concerned about the increasing accident rates among elderly drivers and have implemented measures to restrict their driving. For example, drivers aged 75 and above must take a dementia test when renewing their licenses.

What are the tire specifications for the BMW X5?

The tire specifications for the BMW X5 2022 xDrive 40Li Premium M Sport Package are 275/40 R21 and 315/35 R21; for the BMW X5 2022 xDrive 30Li Premium M Sport Package, they are 275/45 R20 and 305/40 R20. The numbers 275, 305, and 315 represent the tire's section width in millimeters (275mm, 305mm, and 315mm, respectively). The numbers 45, 40, and 35 indicate the aspect ratio of the tire's section height to its width (45%, 40%, and 35%, respectively). The 'R' stands for radial construction, and the numbers 20 and 21 denote the rim diameter in inches. The front tires of the car are slightly larger in diameter, but the tire pressure differs between the front and rear tires. The front tire pressure is 3.2 bar when unloaded and 3.9 bar when fully loaded, while the rear tire pressure is 3.5 bar when unloaded and 4.6 bar when fully loaded. Higher tire pressure increases the tire diameter, but during normal use of the BMW X5, the diameters of the front and rear tires are almost identical. The BMW X5 does not experience abnormal tire wear, speed inaccuracies, or tire pressure warning light issues due to the slight difference in tire sizes. Tires are the only components of a car that come into direct contact with the ground, and they play a crucial role in the vehicle's driving stability and safety. The BMW X5 features an on-demand all-wheel-drive system, but it primarily operates as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. This design gives the rear tires a wider width, providing enhanced grip. The front wheels are only engaged to distribute power when the rear wheels slip or under specific road conditions. In addition to the model specifications, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Shows the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as 'Standard Rim 5.00F'.
