Do not apply emergency braking; turn on the hazard warning lights and observe the traffic conditions in the driving lane through the rearview mirror. After exiting the vehicle, pay attention to traffic safety and place the triangular warning sign 150 meters behind the car. Retrieve the spare tire from the trunk and replace the damaged tire; after replacing the spare tire, drive away promptly and head to a repair shop for tire repair as soon as possible.

Does driving the Sylphy in ECO mode harm the car?

Enabling ECO mode in the Sylphy does not harm the car, but it should not be kept on for extended periods. This is because ECO mode primarily makes comprehensive judgments and analyses during vehicle movement regarding factors that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit then calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. However, prolonged use of ECO mode, while lowering fuel consumption, can accelerate the formation of engine carbon deposits. This is detrimental to the engine, increasing its pressure and subsequently leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, although ECO mode saves fuel, it should be used selectively. When to use ECO mode: ECO mode is most effective in urban traffic congestion. In stop-and-go city traffic, strong power is not required, and fuel consumption is high. Activating ECO mode in such conditions not only reduces fuel consumption but also enhances driving comfort. When not to use ECO mode: 1. When driving at high speeds (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is activated, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. 2. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing hills, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, automatically deactivating ECO mode.

How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Changan CS75 1.5T?

Changan CS75's 1.5TGDI Blue Whale engine requires 3L of engine oil. Relevant information is as follows: The Changan CS75 engine is factory-filled with multi-viscosity grade engine oil, which can be used in all seasons except in extreme climates. It is important to note that lubricants of different grades must not be mixed. The use of engine oil additives or other engine maintenance products is strictly prohibited, as they may damage the engine under certain circumstances and affect the warranty. Do not use engine oil that does not meet specifications and requirements, as it may damage the engine and affect the warranty. If Changan-certified engine oil is not available locally, choose engine oil that meets API/ACEA specifications with a quality grade of SN/GF-5 or higher and a viscosity grade of 5W-30. However, using these oils may result in extended engine start-up time, reduced performance, poorer fuel economy, and increased emissions.

Can Used Cars Get Regional License Plates?

Used cars can obtain regional license plates. Note: When purchasing a used car from the place of purchase, it is usually required that the seller handles the vehicle file transfer. During the file transfer process, the identity proof of the new owner who will register the vehicle must be provided, meaning the registration recipient is determined at the time of file transfer. Some insurance companies can assist with the transfer of registration. Precautions when buying a used car: 1. Legality of documents: Ensure the legality of the vehicle's documents, check the vehicle's paperwork, registration certificate, and vehicle license, then compare the VIN and engine number. 2. Vehicle inspection: Have an expert inspect the car to check for any accident history. 3. Details: Pay attention to the details of the car, such as under the seats, pulling out the seat belts to ensure there is no water damage.

What Happens If You Don't Change Transmission Fluid for 10 Years?

Not changing transmission fluid for 10 years will cause friction-generated debris in the transmission, making the fluid turbid and reducing its performance. Here's an introduction to transmissions: 1. Overview: The transmission, also known as a gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, and can fix or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. 2. Structure: The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also including a power take-off mechanism. It can be categorized into stepped, continuously variable, and integrated transmissions, featuring functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and changing gear ratios. 3. Function: Changing the gear ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions (higher power and lower fuel consumption).

Should the Drainage Holes on the Trunk Be Opened?

When the vehicle encounters extreme situations such as wading or being submerged, it is necessary to open the drainage holes to drain the accumulated water in the trunk as quickly as possible. Typically, manufacturers seal these drainage holes, which can be unscrewed or poked open when needed. Below is related information about other drainage holes in a car: 1. Air Conditioning Drainage Hole: Its function is to discharge the condensation water generated during air conditioning use out of the vehicle. If the drainage outlet is blocked, water may enter the co-pilot area through the connection, soaking items like floor mats. 2. Engine Compartment Drainage Hole: The drainage holes in the engine compartment are usually located on both sides of the front windshield wipers, generally one on each side. Since the engine compartment is a relatively open environment, sewage, fallen leaves, etc., can flow into the engine compartment along the windshield. Engineers design a water barrier at the rear of the engine compartment and along the lower edge of the windshield, with drainage holes positioned on the barrier.

What distance should be maintained for a flexible towing device?

A flexible towing device should maintain a distance greater than 4 meters and less than 10 meters. Below is relevant information about flexible towing devices: 1. Introduction: Flexible towing involves using soft materials such as steel ropes, hemp ropes, or specialized vehicle towing ropes. This method is applicable when the towed vehicle's steering and braking systems are functioning properly. Simply put: use flexible towing when the braking system is operational, and use rigid towing when the braking system is not functioning. 2. Precautions: When using a flexible towing device, the distance between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should be greater than 4 meters and less than 10 meters.
