The spark plugs on the Ford Kuga should be replaced every 45,000 kilometers or 30 months. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Turn off the engine and remove the spark plug cap; 2. Unscrew the old spark plug counterclockwise; 3. Screw in the new spark plug clockwise; 4. Reattach the spark plug cap; 5. After ensuring everything is correct, start the engine for a test drive. The Ford Kuga is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with the following dimensions: length 4524mm, width 1838mm, height 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 134 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.

What is the difference between a one-way line and a one-way lane?

The differences between a one-way line and a one-way lane are as follows: 1. Different graphics: The one-way lane sign is square, while the one-way line sign is circular. 2. Different signs: The one-way road sign is usually located on the right side of the road and displayed on a vertical board. Unlike the straight-line sign (circular), it is a rectangular frame. The placement of signs differs; straight-line signs are generally located on the ground or at traffic lights. One-way line signs are usually located on the right side of the road and displayed on a vertical board. One-way direction signs include left one-way, right one-way, and forward one-way, with icons being rectangular white arrows. 3. Different number of lanes: A one-way road allows vehicles to travel in only one direction and has multiple lanes. This sign is placed at an appropriate position before an intersection where left turns are prohibited. A one-way line allows vehicles to travel in only one direction and has only one lane. This sign is placed at an appropriate position at the entrance and intersection of a one-way road.

Differences between the new and old models of the Hongqi HS5

The front grille will be replaced with the same design as the H9, optimizing the internal structure of the front grille. The side flag emblem has been refined. Advantages of the Hongqi HS5: It adopts the brand's signature vertical waterfall-style grille design and features practical configurations such as front-row keyless entry and start, remote start, OTA upgrades, GPS navigation, LED high/low beam headlights, and automatic air conditioning. Disadvantages of the Hongqi HS5: The fully touch-controlled air conditioning control area on the display lacks any physical buttons, resulting in a mediocre user experience. The interior detailing in some areas is subpar, especially the driving mode knob behind the gear lever—while the material quality is decent, the knob feels loose and lacks the premium damping sensation expected of a high-end midsize SUV. The power response during startup and low-speed driving is sluggish, with the throttle, brakes, and chassis tuning all leaning toward a conservative feel; it takes over a second after pressing the accelerator pedal to notice significant power output. The fuel injection system uses direct injection, leading to less-than-ideal fuel efficiency.

How many meters can you drive in first gear during the driving test?

In the driving test (Subject 3), the distance driven in 1st gear should not exceed 50 meters, and in 2nd gear should not exceed 150 meters. The combined distance in 1st and 2nd gears should not exceed 200 meters. The distance is recalculated after stopping. Precautions for gear shifting in Subject 3: 1. Looking down at the gear shift can easily lead to test failure: If the candidate is not familiar with the gear positions or is too nervous during the test, they may instinctively look down at the gear shift, which will result in point deductions. 2. Do not shift gears without fully depressing the clutch: If the clutch is not fully depressed, you will hear a gear grinding sound when shifting, which can easily cause the engine to stall. 3. Avoid prolonged clutch depression: Subject 3 regulations specify that the time spent depressing the clutch before and after shifting gears should not be too long. 4. Do not skip gears when upshifting: Skipping gears when upshifting will inevitably result in a mismatch between speed and gear (low speed, high gear), causing severe vehicle vibration and potentially stalling the engine.

How many kilometers can a Wuling Hongguang travel after the fuel tank light comes on?

When the fuel tank light of a Wuling Hongguang comes on, it can generally travel an additional 20-50 kilometers. However, due to varying road conditions and driving habits, the actual remaining mileage can be highly uncertain. Therefore, it is crucial to refuel as soon as possible after noticing the fuel gauge. When the fuel light illuminates, it is advisable to turn off electrical appliances such as the air conditioning and maintain a steady speed, avoiding sudden braking. Fuel Pump: After the fuel tank light of the Wuling Hongguang S comes on, the fuel pump is no longer submerged in fuel, which could lead to poor heat dissipation. However, this is not necessarily the case, as fuel pumps are not easily damaged. Typically, fuel pump failures are more often caused by poor fuel quality or long intervals between fuel filter replacements. Precautions: In fact, every vehicle is designed with the possibility of driver oversight in mind. For example, the speed indicated on the speedometer is usually slightly higher than the actual speed. This gives drivers a small buffer when they realize they might be approaching the speed limit, as they haven't actually reached the speed shown on the gauge.

Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, you should press the clutch first. Here are the relevant details: 1. Situations where you press the clutch before the brake: (1) Reversing into a parking space and parallel parking: In these two test items, you should first press the clutch all the way down, then quickly press the brake. Since Subject 2 is conducted entirely in first gear, the speed is slow, so the vehicle won't jerk. (2) When encountering a red light or pulling over to park: In Subject 3, due to the higher speed, when you need to stop, you should first use engine braking to slow down by releasing the accelerator in advance, then press the clutch all the way down to downshift. As you approach the stopping point, you can gently press the brake all the way down to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Situations where you press both the clutch and brake simultaneously: When stopping on a slope to prevent rolling backward, you need to quickly press both the clutch and brake all the way down at the same time. In case of an emergency during the test, pressing only the clutch will cause the vehicle to lurch forward due to inertia, so it's generally advised to press both the clutch and brake simultaneously. 3. Situations where you press the brake before the clutch: In Subject 3, if the speed is high, you can first press the brake to reduce the speed, then press the clutch to stop.

How Far Will the Needle Drop During Hill Start?

When the clutch is in the semi-engaged state, the engine speed will maintain around 1000 RPM. Different models have different tachometer representations for 1000 RPM—some use the number 1 to indicate 1000 RPM, while others use 10 to represent 1000 RPM. Below are the techniques for hill starts: 1. After getting into the car: After entering the car, fasten your seatbelt and adjust the seat so that your left foot can fully depress the clutch when stepping on it. 2. Depress the clutch Press the clutch all the way down, and with your right foot stepping on the brake, shift into first gear before releasing the handbrake. 3. Release the clutch Gently lift your left foot to release the clutch. The release speed must be slow—lifting the clutch too quickly during startup will cause the engine to stall. 4. Observe: While gradually releasing the clutch, observe the tachometer and the car's movement. When the tachometer needle reaches 1000 RPM, or when the car begins to shake, stop lifting the clutch. At this point, simply release the brake, and the car will slowly move forward.
