Starting Techniques and Correct Steps for Automatic Transmission Cars: 1. After the driver sits in the driver's seat, there is no need to press the brake pedal. Simply press the start button once to turn on the ACC light, then press it again to initiate the vehicle's self-check. 2. Ensure the handbrake is engaged and the gear is in P (Park) or Neutral. Press the brake pedal and press the start button once more to ignite and start the engine. 3. Release the foot brake. You may choose to warm up the car for 1-3 minutes; specifically, check the water temperature gauge on the dashboard. When the pointer reaches 90 degrees, it indicates the warm-up is complete. 4. Press the foot brake again, shift to D (Drive) gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly). 5. Observe the road conditions, paying attention to vehicles approaching from behind and pedestrians on the side. You may turn on the turn signal when starting, slowly release the foot brake, apply some throttle, and the start is complete. Parking Techniques and Correct Steps for Automatic Transmission Cars: 1. Release the throttle and press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop. 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral). 3. Engage the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, pull it upwards). 4. Release the foot brake but do not turn off the power (this is to confirm that the car can come to a complete stop under the handbrake's effect, preventing the P gear from locking). 5. Continue pressing the foot brake and shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Park). 6. Release the foot brake, press the start button to turn off the power, and the parking is complete.

What is the function of a roll cage?

It can enhance the strength and torsional resistance of the vehicle body. Here are the specific details about the vehicle roll cage: 1. Definition of a Roll Cage: A vehicle roll cage is a detachable assembly of steel pipes. It is made from cold-drawn seamless carbon steel pipes, bent and shaped to fit the interior contours of the vehicle cabin during installation, where each pipe is connected or welded one by one. The material and torsional resistance of the steel pipes used in the roll cage are determined based on the vehicle's weight, generally designed to withstand impacts of at least twice the vehicle's weight. Professionally installed roll cages not only handle emergencies but also enhance the vehicle body's strength and torsional resistance. For example, by connecting several welding points of the roll cage to the front and rear shock absorber mounts, even if the vehicle frequently jumps, the impact forces from the ground will be partially dispersed to the roll cage, thereby protecting the vehicle body. 2. Characteristics of a Roll Cage: Simply put, a roll cage consists of a main or side roll bar, a front roll bar, a rear support, and connecting parts forming a frame structure. The main roll bar must be a nearly vertical frame or ring structure that crosses the vehicle body behind the front seats. The front roll bar should be similar to the main roll bar but must not obstruct the driver's view. Its shape must follow the A-pillar, with the top positioned above the windshield, aiming to ensure strength while minimizing obstruction to the driver. The main or side roll bar and the front roll bar must each be a single, continuous piece without any connection points along their length.

How many kilometers can a Sagitar run on a full tank of gas?

Sagitar can run 400 to 500 kilometers on a full tank of gas, and 700 to 800 kilometers when driving entirely on highways. Here is the calculation method for car fuel tank capacity and an introduction to the fuel tank capacities of other vehicles: Calculation method for car fuel tank capacity: Taking a regular rectangular fuel tank as an example, with a width of 58cm, height of 58cm, and length of 110cm, the fuel tank capacity is equal to 58 multiplied by 58 multiplied by 110, which equals 370,040 cubic centimeters. Since 1 liter equals 1,000 cubic centimeters, the capacity is approximately 370 liters. Fuel tank capacities of other vehicles: Generally, the fuel tank capacity of family cars ranges between 35-55 liters, while mid-size sedans and mid-size SUVs have fuel tank capacities between 55-70 liters. Large SUVs can have fuel tank capacities of up to 100 liters. The fuel tank capacity is usually the maximum capacity announced by the car manufacturer. As the name suggests, the fuel tank capacity measures a car's ability to carry gasoline. A larger fuel tank capacity indicates a longer driving range and stronger power for the car.
