For the BYD timing chain, the camshaft needs to be rotated to the top dead center of the first cylinder's compression stroke, and the locating pin of the crankshaft pulley should be vertically upward. Then, install the chain. The main function of the timing chain is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate time to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. BYD is a Chinese automotive brand primarily producing commercial and household sedans, as well as batteries. Its product lineup includes models like the BYD Yuan, Song MAX, BYD F3, and Surui. Taking the BYD F3 as an example, it is an A+ class passenger car equipped with features such as an LED self-illuminating instrument cluster, anti-submarine seats with 10-way manual adjustment, HUD speed display, full Chinese eight-direction display, and manual air conditioning.

Is ETC free?

ETC is not free, but users can enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle acceleration and braking, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also benefit from a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. How ETC works: It uses dedicated short-range communication between an onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and a microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station. This is combined with computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.

What Causes the Gear Lever to Suddenly Become Immovable?

Here are the specific reasons why the gear lever suddenly becomes immovable: 1. Shift Cable: The shift cable may have come off or broken. Check if the gear shift mechanism is stuck or if the shift cable is jammed. 2. Transmission Gear Engagement: If the car is parked on a slope and the foot brake is released before the handbrake is engaged, it can cause the transmission gears to lock, making the gear lever immovable when starting the car next time. 3. Proper Parking Method: Press the foot brake, shift to P, engage the handbrake firmly, release the foot brake, and turn off the engine. Especially on slopes, always engage the handbrake firmly before releasing the foot brake. For automatic transmission vehicles, to ensure driving safety and better protect the transmission, the design requires pressing the brake pedal to shift gears.

What Are the Rules for Driving in a Roundabout?

The rules for driving in a roundabout are as follows: 1. Yield to exiting traffic: Vehicles entering the roundabout must yield to vehicles exiting the roundabout. 2. Outer yields to inner: Vehicles on the outer lane of the roundabout must yield to vehicles on the inner lane. 3. Turning yields to going straight: Turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight. 4. Maintain order, small yields to large: Rear vehicles must yield to front vehicles, and smaller vehicles must yield to larger ones. 5. Use turn signals: Before entering the roundabout, if a vehicle intends to enter the left lane within the roundabout, it should activate the left turn signal to alert other vehicles. Before exiting the roundabout, the vehicle should activate the right turn signal in advance, confirm safety, and then change lanes from the inner lane to the outer lane before finally exiting the roundabout.

What is the speed limit on the Duku Highway?

Here are the detailed speed limits on the Duku Highway: 1. Starting from Dushanzi: Interval speed measurement begins at the 555 km road marker with a speed limit of 70 km/h. Mobile speed measurement at the 566 km road marker with a speed limit of 60 or 70 km/h. No speed measurement in the mountainous section of the Duku Highway, but drive safely. 2. National Highway 218: There are two fixed speed measurement points near the intersection with National Highway 218, with a speed limit of 40 km/h. Eastbound on National Highway 218, there is fixed speed measurement in the western section of Gongnaisi Township. There is basically no speed measurement until Huoshao Bridge. Mobile speed measurement is present at the 30 km marker when turning onto Provincial Highway 321, with a speed limit not exceeding 80 km/h. 3. Bayinbuluke Town: Mobile speed measurement is common 2 km north of Bayinbuluke Town with a speed limit of 70 km/h. Fixed speed measurement is present 1 km north of the town with a speed limit of 50 km/h. After passing Bayinbuluke, there is basically no speed measurement on the mountain roads. After crossing the Tielimaiti Daban to Dalongchi, traffic police will register and issue a speed limit slip. The time is not accurate, so follow the road marker speed limits, with a maximum of 80 km/h. Mobile speed measurement is present at the Kuqa-Baicheng intersection with a speed limit of 60 km/h.

What are the symptoms of a faulty car oil pump?

The symptoms of a faulty car oil pump are as follows: 1. Weak acceleration, with jerking when accelerating suddenly. 2. Difficulty starting, requiring prolonged key turning. 3. A buzzing sound while driving. 4. The engine warning light illuminates. 5. The engine exhibits shaking. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The function of the oil pump is to raise the oil to a certain pressure and then forcibly deliver it to the moving surfaces of various engine components. 2. Oil pumps can be structurally categorized into gear-type and rotor-type, with gear-type oil pumps further divided into internal gear and external gear types, the latter commonly referred to as gear-type oil pumps. 3. During engine operation, the oil pump continuously works to ensure the oil circulates within the lubrication circuit, providing sufficient lubrication under all engine conditions.

Should You Brake When Turning?

Braking is essential when turning. It is necessary to reduce speed and maintain a safe speed range during turns. If you don't have the habit of braking in advance, slamming on the brakes during a sharp turn can cause excessive centrifugal force, leading to the car flipping over and the driver being thrown off the road. Brake in Advance to Slow Down: Before entering a turn, you should brake in advance to slow down, ensuring the vehicle enters the turn at a lower, safer speed. If the road conditions are clear, you may not need to brake during the turn; simply maintain throttle to keep the drive wheels rotating and propel the vehicle out of the turn. Thanks to the grip provided by the drive wheels, the vehicle will significantly reduce the impact of body roll. Key Points to Note: Proper braking should be completed before entering the turn. Maintain a steady speed during the turn, and it's best not to shift into neutral. Since you've already slowed down before the turn, you can appropriately downshift and use a lower gear to navigate the turn. After exiting the turn, accelerate again. This method is not only useful for everyday driving but is also employed by professional race car drivers on tracks to maintain better control of the vehicle by slowing down at the end of straight sections.
