Can New Cars Use Fuel Additives?

New cars should not use fuel additives, as doing so may actually increase engine carbon deposits. Below are detailed explanations: When to consider using fuel additives: When a car has traveled 20,000-30,000 kilometers, and due to increased sludge and carbon deposits, symptoms such as idle shaking, reduced power, slower acceleration, and increased fuel consumption appear, fuel additives may be considered. However, it is essential to purchase from official channels. Using counterfeit products not only fails to remove carbon deposits and protect the engine but may also cause damage to the engine. Precautions when using fuel additives: Long-term use of fuel additives is harmful to the engine. Excessive use can increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. If excessive amounts are added over a long period, it may even lead to engine knocking, detonation, and deterioration of vehicle exhaust emissions.

Is It Correct to Use a Safety Belt with Low Attachment and High Usage?

Safety belt high attachment and low usage is correct. Attaching the safety belt at a high point while working below is referred to as high attachment and low usage, which is a safer and more reasonable scientific method of attachment. This reduces the actual impact distance in the event of a fall. The opposite is low attachment and high usage, where the safety belt is attached at a low point while working above. Below is related knowledge about high attachment and low usage of safety belts: Necessary locations for safety belts: When working at heights, cliffs, or steep slopes without protective facilities, it is mandatory to fasten the safety belt; How to use a safety belt: The safety belt should be attached high and used low, paying attention to prevent swinging and collision. If the safety belt is attached low and used high, the impact force will increase in the event of a fall, posing a danger; Service life of a safety belt: The service life of a safety belt is 3 to 5 years. If any abnormalities are found, it should be scrapped in advance.

Why was the URV discontinued in 2021?

From the domestic automotive market, it can be understood that the Dongfeng Honda URV is still on sale, but currently only the 2020 model is available. However, the URV does not comply with the China VI emission standards, and the introduction and implementation of the China VI standards have severely impacted many vehicle models. The reasons for the discontinuation of the Honda URV are as follows: The price positioning is higher than the product level. The Honda URV is priced higher than most vehicles in its class, but its product quality does not match its price. As a midsize SUV, the Honda URV's space performance is not outstanding, and its configuration richness is slightly lower than that of its competitors. Competitors in the same segment have advantages in price and configuration, causing the Honda URV to lose competitiveness. The Honda URV's counterpart is the Honda Avancier, which has similar dimensions and features but is priced lower, resulting in higher sales than the URV. Compared to other midsize SUVs in its class, the Honda URV still does not have an advantage in price or configuration. It is about to undergo a model update or upgrade. Currently, the available models for sale are the 2020 240TURBO 2WD Zhiyue, Zhiya, Zunya, Zunxiang, and Zunyao versions, totaling five models. The prices range from 240,000 to 330,000 RMB. Except for the Zhiya version, which has dimensions of 4856mm × 1942mm × 1670mm, the others measure 4856mm × 1942mm × 1675mm. The body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. As Dongfeng Honda's flagship SUV, the UR-V adopts a "large five-seat" design that emphasizes practicality and comfort. Additionally, the UR-V is equipped with a rich rear-seat central entertainment control system, a tri-zone independent automatic air conditioning system, and an oversized panoramic sunroof.

What speed is 150 horsepower?

150 horsepower is not directly related to the speed of a car. Horsepower represents engine power, while vehicle speed is influenced by many factors. Here are the details: Impact of horsepower on the engine: The significance of horsepower lies in the car's top speed performance. The greater the horsepower, the higher the engine's rotational speed, resulting in stronger acceleration. Higher horsepower generally leads to a higher top speed, which is the maximum speed. Factors affecting vehicle speed: Normally, the higher the engine speed, the higher the vehicle speed, with the two being directly proportional. Besides engine speed, gearbox ratios and tire circumference also affect vehicle speed. Additionally, friction and wind resistance are important factors. It's worth noting that once the engine reaches its rated power, increasing the rotational speed won't increase the vehicle speed further because the onboard computer will cut off the fuel supply.

Can You Drive on the Highway with a Punctured Tire?

Tire punctures on the highway depend on the specific situation. If the tire is punctured by a nail on the tread (the part that directly contacts the ground), it is not a serious issue, and you can continue driving on the highway after repairing the tire. However, if the puncture is on the sidewall of the tire or if the nail has caused a large tear, it is not recommended to drive on the highway. In such cases, it is safer to replace the tire with a new one. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance.
