A flat tire can only be driven for a few hundred meters before it gets damaged. You should hold the steering wheel firmly, gradually reduce speed, pull over, and replace the tire immediately. When a tire is flat, the tire sidewall will directly rub against the ground, and the inner side of the tire wall will also rub against itself, so it's essential to replace the spare tire promptly or use a car air pump to inflate the tire. Here are the signs of a flat tire: 1. Heavier steering wheel: The increased friction between the tire and the ground makes the steering wheel harder to turn. 2. Vehicle imbalance: If a tire is flat, you can clearly feel the car tilting to one side. 3. Slower speed: The car will noticeably slow down, and acceleration will be more difficult than usual. 4. Driving noise: After a tire goes flat, the car will make a thumping sound while driving.

What does P position mean?

P position refers to the parking gear, which is the most common gear in automatic transmission models. It is usually located at the frontmost position of the gear shift console, ahead of the R gear. It is mainly used when you park the car and do not need to move it. When the gear is in this position, the wheels are mechanically locked, preventing any movement. Below are the main uses of the P position: 1. Parking on flat ground: Since the P gear is both neutral and equipped with a braking mechanism, engaging the P gear directly serves the purpose of parking. When temporarily parking on a level surface, shifting to P gear puts the car's transmission in neutral operation, completely interrupting the power transmission between the engine and the output shaft. The driver does not need to turn off the running engine during short waiting periods. 2. Parking on slopes: The core function of the P gear is to achieve long-term and safe parking on slopes for automatic transmission cars, which is also the key role of the P gear in the entire automatic transmission car industry. When the vehicle is parked on flat ground, both automatic and manual transmission cars only need to use the handbrake to keep the car stable on the road for a long time.

What is the typical acceleration of a car?

Generally, the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for a 1.6L compact sedan ranges between 11 to 13 seconds, while a 2.0T midsize sedan achieves it in 7 to 8 seconds. Supercars typically accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 3.8 seconds. Introduction: Acceleration is the ratio of the change in velocity to the time taken for that change (Δv/Δt). It is a physical quantity that describes how quickly an object's velocity changes, usually denoted by 'a'. Meaning: Acceleration is a vector quantity. Its direction aligns with the direction of the object's velocity change and matches the direction of the net external force. Principle: Specifically, acceleration describes the rate of change of velocity over time. It's important to note that since velocity is also a vector, an object with non-zero acceleration doesn't necessarily experience a change in speed (the magnitude of velocity). In fact, if acceleration remains perpendicular to velocity, the speed remains constant while the direction continuously changes.

Which rearview mirror to look at when reversing into the right side of the parking space?

When reversing into the right side of the parking space, first look at the right rearview mirror until the rear wheel enters the corner of the parking space, then gradually shift your gaze to the left mirror. Below are the key points for reversing into the parking space (using the right side as an example): 1. First key point: When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns parallel to the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. 2. Second key point: When the most protruding part of the car body and the right corner of the parking space appear two fingers' width apart in the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel one full circle to the left. 3. Third key point: In the right rearview mirror, when the right corner of the parking space points to the middle of the front door handle, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. 4. Fourth key point: When you see the left rear corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror, immediately straighten the steering wheel. 5. Fifth key point: The stopping point when entering the parking space—stop when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror is about to align parallel to the parking line.

What kind of engine oil should be used for Changan Eado Plus maintenance?

For Changan Eado Plus maintenance, 5W-40 engine oil can be universally used in most regions of China. It is recommended to choose fully synthetic engine oil, which has a long maintenance cycle and provides comprehensive protection for the engine. Below are some extended details: 1. Exterior: The front face features added headlight strips and a redesigned front grille. The addition of headlight strips, a design already seen on the CS75 Plus, significantly enhances front recognition. The front grille has also been modified, officially referred to as the "Whale Star Sea" design, which appears more sporty and fashionable compared to the older horizontal chrome grille. 2. Interior: The car adopts the new flat-bottom steering wheel design previously seen in the UNI premium series, with a thick rim. It offers a more comfortable grip than the 2020 Eado Plus model. The left side integrates some active driving technology configurations, while the right side retains multimedia control buttons. The dual 10.25-inch integrated screen design exudes a strong sense of technology, with the left side being a full LCD instrument panel and the right side a multifunctional central control touchscreen.
