Opening the car engine hood tutorial: 1. Pull the engine compartment handle, the engine hood will slightly pop up; 2. Reach into the front center of the engine compartment, locate the auxiliary latch handle, lift the tab upward and hold it, while lifting the engine hood upward; 3. After opening the engine hood, remove the support rod, place one end of the support rod into the support slot to hold the engine hood open. For safety reasons, modern car engine compartments generally feature a dual-lock design: the cabin lock and the engine compartment lock. The cabin lock usually has a pull-lever design. To open the engine compartment, the driver first needs to release the cabin lock, which causes the engine hood to pop open slightly into a semi-open position. Then, the driver must exit the vehicle to operate the engine compartment lock. After unlocking, lift the engine hood and use the support rod to keep it open.

What happens if you press the accelerator while in P mode?

When the car is parked in P mode, the mechanical lock gear teeth can lock the transmission output, and the engine is already disconnected from the transmission, with no power transmission. Pressing the accelerator only increases the engine speed, and the power is not transmitted to the transmission. Similar to Neutral (N) mode, it is in idle rotation, and the car will not move. More information about the P mode in cars is as follows: 1. P mode is a special neutral gear that mechanically locks the transmission output shaft to secure the vehicle. Its function is to act as a parking brake, preventing the vehicle from moving. 2. For practical safety reasons, car manufacturers place the P mode in the first position of the gear shift console and set internal mechanisms to enforce that the ignition key can only be removed when the gear shift lever is moved to the P mode. Therefore, P mode is specifically designed for long-term parking in automatic transmission cars.

What is the difference between cold start and hot start of a car?

Here are the specific differences between cold start and hot start of a car: 1. Starting method: Cold start refers to starting the engine after it has been shut down for a period of time, when the engine has cooled down and its temperature is much lower than the normal operating temperature, and the engine oil has basically flowed back. Generally, the ambient temperature can be used as a reference. After the engine is shut down, it slowly cools to below 40°C, usually taking about 2 hours, and starting it at this time is considered a cold start. Hot start means starting the engine when it has just been shut down and the engine temperature is still near the normal operating temperature, with the engine oil on the friction surfaces not yet flowed back and the oil film still present. 2. Impact on the car: Cold start is more damaging to the car compared to hot start, with over 80% of engine wear occurring during the cold start phase. Cold start is also more difficult and takes longer to start the car compared to hot start.

Is the Auto Start-Stop Function Practical?

Auto start-stop function is useful. It can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. Here are some precautions when using the auto start-stop function: 1. Turn it off in traffic jams: Repeated start-stop not only increases fuel consumption but also adds burden to the engine. 2. Turn it off on slopes: Although the auto start-stop duration is very brief, engine start-stop on slopes may lead to insufficient brake assistance. 3. Turn it off when using air conditioning: Since the air conditioning requires significant power consumption, and the vehicle's electrical system may not provide enough power to run the air conditioning when the engine is off, passengers may feel uncomfortable. 4. Turn it off when wading: When a vehicle is wading, the speed is relatively low. If the brake is pressed at this time, the auto start-stop will engage, and the engine will stop working. This creates negative pressure in the exhaust pipe, which may cause water to flow into the exhaust system. Restarting the engine under such conditions can severely damage it.

Is the Engine Start-Stop Technology Practical?

Engine start-stop technology is very practical. The original intention of engine start-stop technology was to improve fuel economy. The working principle of automatic engine start-stop is to automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (such as waiting at a red light). When it is necessary to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. This can reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy. Precautions for using automatic engine start-stop: 1. Turn off start-stop in traffic jams: Repeated start-stop not only increases fuel consumption but also adds burden to the engine. 2. Turn off start-stop on slopes: Although the automatic start-stop time is very short, the engine start-stop on slopes may cause insufficient braking assistance. 3. Turn off start-stop when using air conditioning: Because the air conditioning requires relatively high power consumption, and the vehicle's power may not be sufficient to operate the air conditioning when the engine is stopped, which may make passengers feel uncomfortable.
