On-demand four-wheel drive automatically activates when the vehicle's drive wheels slip, during active steering, or when the vehicle loses control. The driver can manually activate the four-wheel drive mode using the lock switch inside the vehicle. Once the lock switch is engaged, the vehicle speed must not exceed 40 kilometers per hour.

What is the suitable tire pressure for sedans on highways?

For sedans driving on highways, it is advisable to maintain a tire pressure around 250 or 260 Kpa. When driving at high speeds, if the tire pressure is too low, it can cause excessive compression and deformation of the tire cord layers. As the speed increases, it may even lead to standing wave phenomena in the tires, resulting in a blowout. Therefore, to ensure driving safety, it is essential to maintain adequate tire pressure when driving on highways. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are typically installed on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, absorbing external shocks, ensuring contact with the road surface, and maintaining the vehicle's driving performance.

What does the ECO button in a car mean?

ECO refers to the car's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed by the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves merely as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most cars utilize the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can generally enable the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to activate Eco mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of Eco mode but also impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When a high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine's computer prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function under these conditions either.
