Low-range 4WD should normally not exceed 30 km/h. Below is some information about low-range 4WD: Low-range 4WD: It is more suitable for extremely challenging off-road conditions, such as loose sandy terrain or climbing steep slopes. Note that you should not drive for too long in low-range 4WD mode. H4 and L4 represent High 4 and Low 4, which are the options for high-range 4WD and low-range 4WD, respectively. SUVs marked with L4: These models are more adept at off-roading, as L4 activates the low-range torque amplification function. With 4H, the vehicle will also find it easier to climb slopes. The same applies to driving on muddy terrain—most muddy conditions are not suitable for using the high-torque output of 4L.

After driving for so many years, I love the low-range four-wheel drive mode the most when off-roading. The speed it can reach is actually very low, usually just 15 to 20 kilometers per hour. Don't underestimate these numbers—this mode is designed to increase torque for safe crawling on steep slopes or muddy terrain. Driving too fast can lead to trouble. Once, I accidentally hit 30 km/h on a mountain, causing the chassis to overheat and trigger an alarm, nearly resulting in a breakdown. Remember, don't chase speed—this mode is designed for stability and control, not velocity. After using it, switch back to high-range four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive mode promptly to avoid issues in daily driving. On off-road sections, I usually maintain 15-20 km/h, which is both vehicle-friendly and safe.

After getting an SUV as a young man, I curiously researched this matter. In low-range four-wheel drive mode, speed is typically limited between 10 to 25 kilometers per hour because the gear ratio becomes higher, delivering strong torque but limiting speed. Driving too fast can easily cause the transfer case to overheat or the chain to break, with vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Defender recommending not exceeding 25 km/h. I checked the information and consulted with a car mechanic, confirming that this is in kilometers, not miles. When off-roading, I keep an eye on the speedometer to stay under 20 km/h to avoid accidental damage. After switching back to normal mode, I can drive faster—safety first, after all.

What I fear the most is accidents caused by speeding. Decades of driving experience have taught me that low-range four-wheel drive is about working slowly and meticulously, with a maximum speed of around 20 km/h. Exceeding this speed increases the risk of skidding or rollovers, and accelerates part wear. The manufacturer states this is designed for rugged terrain. When driving, I strictly maintain a speed between 15-20 km/h and switch back immediately after completion to ensure driving safety. Keeping the vehicle well-protected gives me peace of mind.

How long does it take to apply window film to the entire car?

The time required for car window film application depends on the area to be covered and the difficulty level, typically ranging from 3 to 5 hours. Here are some precautions to note when applying car window film: 1. Avoid choosing films with too low light transmittance, especially for the front side windows' explosion-proof film. A light transmittance of over 85% is more suitable, as it won't obstruct the rearview mirror's visibility and ensures good visibility during rainy nights, reversing, or making U-turns. 2. After the film is applied, avoid rolling down the windows or washing the car with water for three days to prevent the explosion-proof film from peeling off due to moisture. In rainy weather, it's generally recommended to avoid rolling down windows or washing the car for four days to a week. 3. Pay attention to the harmonious combination of the explosion-proof film and the car's body color. Generally, colors like green, sky blue, gray, brown, and natural tones can match all car colors.

What are the effects of increasing wheel size?

Here are the impacts of increasing wheel size on a car: 1. Larger wheels have stronger load-bearing capacity: Wheels are usually made of steel to save costs, but larger wheels often use aluminum alloy wheels, especially those made by forging processes. The load-bearing capacity of these wheels is five times that of ordinary steel wheels. 2. Larger wheels improve cornering performance: After wheel modification, the contact area increases, enhancing the vehicle's stability during cornering and significantly improving cornering performance. 3. Larger wheels may reduce ride comfort: Large-sized wheels can affect ride comfort. Generally, the outer diameter of the tire is a fixed value, meaning the larger the wheel, the thinner the tire's sidewall. This leads to poorer isolation of road noise, increasing cabin noise and affecting interior quietness. 4. Larger wheels may reduce car performance: Large-sized wheels can impact acceleration and braking performance. As wheel size increases, the width also increases accordingly. Larger and wider wheels naturally weigh more, requiring more power to drive them, which affects acceleration performance. 5. Larger wheels may increase fuel consumption: Large-sized wheels can raise fuel consumption. Larger wheels have an advantage in diameter, and the corresponding tread width is also larger. The benefit is that the increased contact area between the wheel and the road can enhance grip, improving vehicle stability. However, the trade-off is increased friction, which can lead to higher fuel consumption to some extent.

How many spark plugs should be replaced at once for a sedan?

Replace all of them. Below are the relevant details: 1. Theoretically, even if you replace just one spark plug with the same brand and model, the discharge gap between the new and old spark plugs will differ, as will their resistance values. Not replacing all of them may lead to issues such as engine shaking, difficulty in acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. This is because differences in spark plugs can cause variations in ignition timing and energy, resulting in an imbalance in power among the four cylinders. 2. Spark plugs have a certain lifespan, and products from the same batch should have similar quality and longevity. If one or two spark plugs have issues, it indicates that the others are nearing the end of their lifespan as well. Therefore, replacing them all at once prevents future problems. Currently, the common electrode materials on the market include copper, nickel alloy, platinum, and iridium (platinum and iridium are generally referred to as precious metals). The electrical conductivity of these metals increases from left to right (copper < nickel alloy < platinum < iridium), while the voltage required for ignition decreases from left to right (copper > nickel alloy > platinum > iridium). Thus, precious metal spark plugs place less load on the engine and are beneficial for reducing fuel consumption. Additionally, precious metals have a longer lifespan, though their price increases with performance.

What are the consequences of overfilling the fuel tank?

There are four consequences of overfilling the fuel tank, which are: 1. Fuel leakage: Gasoline at gas stations is stored underground where temperatures are lower. Especially during hot summers, due to thermal expansion, if the tank is filled too much, fuel may overflow from the vent hole, increasing the risk of fire. 2. Clogging the vehicle's vent hole: Once the vent hole is blocked, negative pressure will form inside the fuel tank, leading to poor fuel supply. 3. Damage to the vehicle's charcoal canister: The charcoal canister is usually located between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapor at room temperature. The fuel evaporation emission control system directs these vapors into the combustion process to prevent them from escaping into the atmosphere. The activated charcoal canister plays a crucial role in this process. If the tank is overfilled, liquid gasoline instead of vapor may enter the canister, causing damage. 4. Carcinogenic gasoline vapor: The activated charcoal canister is typically located near the fresh air intake for the cabin. Overfilling the tank can cause gasoline vapors to enter the cabin, posing health risks to passengers.

How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in an Audi Q5 Be Changed?

The transmission fluid in an Audi Q5 generally needs to be changed every 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers or every 2 years. It is recommended to use genuine Audi transmission fluid or German ZF transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is essential for maintaining the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring smooth operation of the transmission, and prolonging the lifespan of the transmission components. Gravity Drain Method: After loosening the fastening nut at the bottom of the oil pan, the transmission fluid will automatically drain out through the drain hole. The downside is that this method cannot completely remove all the old fluid, as residual fluid may remain in low spots or hard-to-reach areas. Flush with a Machine: New transmission fluid is added to a flushing machine, which connects to the transmission's fluid lines. The new fluid pushes out the old fluid under the machine's action. This method cleans the fluid lines more thoroughly. The more new fluid used, the cleaner the system becomes. A machine flush typically requires 12 liters or more of transmission fluid. Oil Pan Removal Method: This method involves removing the oil pan for a thorough cleaning and replacement, including addressing any dirty oil filters. However, removing the oil pan is a labor-intensive task, which increases the service cost.
