Outlander does not have a manual transmission. Operation of switching to manual mode in Outlander: First, press the brake pedal all the way down, shift into D gear, and then push the gear lever to the right. From this point on, you can use the paddle shifters: + to upshift and - to downshift. Although the manual mode is a bit more complicated, it allows for precise control of gear shifts at the appropriate RPM and torque. Gear selection for Outlander: Uphill road sections require more torque than usual, so it is recommended to use D- to reduce speed and increase torque. Some slopes are not very steep, and if the gear is too low, it will waste power. In such cases, you should promptly use D+ to upshift. For steeper slopes, you can engage the S gear.

What are the reasons why an electric vehicle cannot start after stalling?

Electric vehicles cannot start after stalling due to poor contact between the battery and the vehicle, blown fuse tubes, poor contact at battery terminals or plugs, loose or broken battery wires, or loose and disconnected controller power wires. The solutions are as follows: 1. Avoid storing the battery in a discharged state: A discharged state occurs when the battery is not recharged promptly after use. In this state, sulfation is likely to occur, where lead sulfate crystals form on the electrode plates, blocking ion channels and leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains unused in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan. 2. Regular inspection: During use, if the electric bicycle's range suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period, it is likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken cells, softened electrode plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, leading to short-circuiting. In such cases, promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or replacement. 3. Avoid high-current discharge: When starting, carrying passengers, or climbing hills, it is best to use pedal assistance to minimize high-current discharge. High-current discharge can easily lead to lead sulfate crystallization, damaging the physical properties of the battery's electrode plates.

Can I add engine oil by myself?

You can add engine oil by yourself as long as you use the same brand and specification as the original oil. It is essential to select the identical brand and batch for addition. If the engine is burning oil or leaking oil, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop for maintenance and repair as soon as possible. Do not let minor issues escalate into major problems. Other precautions for adding engine oil: Higher viscosity does not necessarily mean better engine protection. High-viscosity oil not only adversely affects overall fuel consumption but also fails to protect the engine effectively. Another function of engine oil is cooling and heat dissipation. When high-viscosity oil is used indiscriminately, the engine's heat dissipation performance will inevitably weaken. Do not mix different engine oils: The additive components in oils from different manufacturers vary entirely. The chemical compositions of these additives differ not only between brands but also within the same brand's different product lines. Mixing oils from two brands can cause chemical reactions under the engine's high temperature, such as the formation of flocculants in the oil or increased viscosity.

What is the tread depth gauge for tires?

Tire tread depth standards indicate that a depth greater than 3.5mm is considered good condition, 2.5~3.5mm is normal condition, and less than 2.5mm means replacement is needed. When the tread reaches the limit of 1.6mm, it must be replaced immediately. Methods to check tire tread are as follows: 1. Inspection: Use the built-in tread wear indicator blocks on the tire. When the tread wears down to the level of these blocks, it's time to replace the tire. 2. Gauge: Use a tire tread depth gauge for measurement. Relevant information includes: 1. Age: Generally, regardless of mileage, tires can last about 6-8 years based on usage duration, but this should be judged in combination with actual conditions such as driving habits, road conditions, frequency of use, and whether the tires have suffered impacts, all of which can significantly affect tire lifespan. 2. Note: Besides monitoring tread wear, tire pressure is another crucial indicator. Both overinflation and underinflation can reduce tire lifespan and create safety hazards. For example, overinflated tires driven under high temperatures and speeds increase the risk of blowouts. Tire pressure is closely linked to vehicle performance, directly affecting ride comfort, fuel consumption, and other aspects.

What does 'man' mean?

In cars, 'man' represents the air conditioning circulation mode, specifically the fixed internal circulation mode. Setting the air conditioning circulation to 'auto' means it will automatically switch between modes. When the internal circulation light is off, it indicates the external circulation mode. If the air inside the car becomes stale, you can activate the external circulation function, as it helps with ventilation. Tips for using internal and external circulation in cars: During traffic jams, it's generally advisable to use the internal circulation mode to prevent exhaust fumes from the vehicle ahead from entering your car; When cooling the car with the air conditioner, especially after the car has been exposed to the sun, first use the external circulation to dissipate heat, then switch to internal circulation to rapidly lower the temperature inside the car. Once the temperature stabilizes at a comfortable level, you can occasionally switch back to external circulation for fresh air; When heating the car, wait until the engine has warmed up before turning on the heater and using the internal circulation mode. This is because the heating system utilizes the engine's heat. Once the temperature reaches a suitable level, switch to external circulation to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car; On rainy or foggy days, to prevent window fogging, simply lower the temperature, increase the fan speed, and press the front window defogging button.

Do I Need to File a Record with the Vehicle Management Office for Modifying Car Lights?

Modifying car lights requires filing a record with the vehicle management office. Without prior approval from the traffic management department, vehicles with modified lights cannot be driven on the road or pass the annual inspection. According to the relevant provisions of the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for a modification registration. Regarding light replacement, the following points must be considered: Item 1: As long as dual-lens lights are used, the light will not be glaring or scattered, ensuring it does not affect others' safe driving, and the light intensity will meet requirements. Item 2: The low beam must be no less than 1050 lumens, and the high beam no less than 1450 lumens. The light intensity of the moving vehicle must be no less than 15,000 CD and no more than 120,000 CD. Item 3: The color temperature must not exceed 6000K; otherwise, the annual inspection equipment cannot detect the light. Currently, even owners who have correctly modified their lights still cannot pass the vehicle inspection in most cities across the country.

Does Motorcycle Demerit Points Affect B2 License?

B2 demerit points do not have a significant impact as long as the violations are promptly addressed. However, if 6 points are deducted during the probationary period, the probation period will be extended. Additionally, a B2 driver's license with demerit records requires participation in a review. Below are detailed explanations: Demerit Point Handling: If a motor vehicle driver's demerit points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12, and the imposed fines have been paid, the demerit points will be cleared; if the demerit points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the demerit points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. 6 Points During Probation: For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks, if 6 or more points (but less than 12) are deducted within the one-year probation period, the probation period will be extended by one year. Review: Drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, or large trucks must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority for a review within thirty days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit records within a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted.
