How to Operate Gears When Decelerating?

The correct method for gear shifting during deceleration: release the accelerator, gently press the brake, and pay attention to the speed on the dashboard; when the speed reaches 20km/h (30km/h when shifting from 4th to 3rd gear), keep the brake pressed, depress the clutch, and shift gears; after shifting, simultaneously release the clutch and brake. More details are as follows: 1. General deceleration: In most normal driving conditions, the speed in 3rd gear is 20~30km/h. In these situations, you may need to lightly press the brake to decelerate: (1) When the distance to the car ahead decreases, or the speed approaches or even exceeds 30km/h—simply release the accelerator, and if you feel further deceleration is needed, lightly tap the brake. (2) When passing through straight intersections, bus stops, crosswalks, or school zones—maintain a speed close to 30km/h beforehand, and upon reaching the operational area, release the accelerator, press the brake, then release the brake and continue pressing the accelerator to proceed. 2. Decelerating to stop: When stopping at a red light or coming to a final stop, you can do this: first press the brake to decelerate to 20km/h, then depress the clutch, increase brake pressure, and after the car stops, quickly shift to neutral and release the clutch. 3. Emergency braking: In case of sudden situations requiring emergency braking, simultaneously press the clutch and brake, wait for the speed to decrease, shift to the appropriate gear, then release the clutch and brake. For an emergency stop, after stopping, quickly shift to neutral and release the clutch.

What is a Horizontally Opposed Engine?

Horizontally opposed engine refers to an engine where the pistons are evenly distributed on both sides of the crankshaft and move horizontally left and right. This design reduces the overall height and length of the engine, lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, and makes driving more stable. The horizontally opposed engine is installed on the vehicle's centerline, and the torque generated by the pistons on both sides cancels each other out, reducing vibration during driving, improving engine speed, and reducing noise. The characteristics of a horizontally opposed engine include: 1. The lateral vibration generated is easily absorbed by the mounts, achieving overall balance; 2. The piston movement is well balanced, ensuring smooth engine operation.

What are the differences between the Lamando 230 and 280?

The differences between the Lamando 230 and 280 are: 1. Different torque: The Lamando 230 has a torque of 225nm, while the 280 has a torque of 230nm. 2. Different engine models: The Lamando 230 uses the EA211-CST engine, while the 280 uses the EA211-DJS engine. 3. Different transmission types: The Lamando 230 is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 280 has a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 4. Different maximum horsepower: The Lamando 230 has a maximum horsepower of 131ps, while the 280 has a maximum horsepower of 150ps.

What tires does the Fit use?

The Fit uses Michelin tires. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb the vibration and impact force during driving, preventing severe vibration and early damage to car components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. Taking the 2021 Fit as an example, it is a compact car equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 131 PS, a maximum torque of 155 Nm, and a maximum power of 96 kW.

What does mph on the dashboard mean?

mph on the dashboard is a speed measurement unit, indicating miles per hour. The dashboard indicator lights and their functions are as follows: 1. Engine warning light: Indicates engine malfunction; 2. Battery indicator: Signals depleted battery or alternator failure; 3. Oil pressure warning light: Indicates insufficient oil level; 4. Coolant temperature warning light: Signals overheating coolant; 5. Tire pressure warning light: Indicates abnormal tire pressure; 6. ABS warning light: Signals anti-lock braking system malfunction; 7. Antifreeze warning light: Indicates low antifreeze level; 8. Door ajar warning light: Signals unclosed doors; 9. Brake fluid warning light: Indicates insufficient brake fluid level.

What are the reasons why a vehicle cannot accelerate?

The reasons why a vehicle cannot accelerate are: 1. Damaged spark plugs; 2. Poor fuel quality; 3. Unstable oil pressure. Precautions for pressing the accelerator pedal are: 1. Press and release the accelerator pedal gently, ensuring a smooth and gradual movement; 2. Releasing the clutch should be closely coordinated with pressing the accelerator pedal, with swift actions; 3. Choose the appropriate gear to keep the engine running mostly at medium speed and with a larger throttle opening to save fuel; 4. Before driving or turning off the engine, release the accelerator pedal first and avoid revving the engine abruptly. The working principle of the accelerator is: Pressing the accelerator pedal directly controls the throttle valve, increasing its opening, which allows more air to enter the engine. At this point, the ECU commands the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, causing the engine speed to rise and the vehicle to accelerate.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring located?

The tire pressure monitoring is located on the left side of the center console. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring are: 1. It will promptly alert when there is rapid or slow air leakage due to tire puncture; 2. It will issue an alarm when tire loosening causes unbalanced friction, leading to tire temperature reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent blowouts; 3. It will alert when the tire pressure is below the vehicle's set limit due to prolonged lack of inflation, preventing low pressure from causing tire temperature rise and blowouts. The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring is: 1. Ensure the vehicle's tire pressure is within the normal range; 2. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and turn off the engine; 3. Power on the vehicle and hold down the tire pressure monitoring button; 4. After 5 seconds, upon hearing an alarm sound, release the button to successfully reset.
