Press the accelerator pedal lightly, avoid sudden acceleration, minimize braking and acceleration, and maintain a steady speed as much as possible within the number of restarts. Do not keep the accelerator pedal in one position for a long time. Maintaining good driving habits can maximize fuel economy. In fact, besides the inherent displacement of the car itself, the driver's poor driving habits are closely related to the car's fuel economy. Poor driving habits not only waste fuel but also cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle. For example, some people like to keep their left foot on the clutch while driving, which not only increases clutch wear but also causes unnecessary power loss. "Coasting in neutral saves fuel" only applies to older carburetor models. Many modern fuel-injected engine models do not benefit from this method at all and may even consume more fuel. When coasting in neutral (especially at high speeds), the lubrication effect of the transmission deteriorates, which is harmful to the transmission. Moreover, from a safety perspective, coasting in neutral causes the vehicle to lose power, making it like a kite with a broken string. Once the engine idles, the car's power steering stops working, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

The engine malfunction light turning on and then off is a normal phenomenon: 1. When the driver turns on the vehicle's power but has not officially started the engine, various malfunction indicator lights on the car will light up simultaneously. 2. When the vehicle is started, these lights will automatically turn off, which is the vehicle's self-detection function in operation and is a normal phenomenon.

What does a range-extended electric vehicle mean?

Range-extended electric vehicles refer to vehicles directly driven by electric motors, where the engine does not participate in driving and there are no mechanical devices such as clutches or transmissions. The detailed information about range-extended electric vehicles is as follows: 1. When the battery power is insufficient, the engine is used to generate electricity to charge the battery, operating within the optimal speed range, and the battery then provides energy to the motor that directly drives the vehicle. 2. Advantages of range-extended electric vehicles: (1) They can operate in pure electric mode, requiring a small battery capacity, eliminating the risk of running out of power; (2) The battery charging power is small, eliminating the need for large charging infrastructure; (3) They can operate in plug-in hybrid mode, further improving fuel efficiency on top of hybrid technology; (4) They have a simple structure, direct motor drive, are easy to maintain, and facilitate industrialization.
