Do not press the clutch when going downhill. If you fully depress the clutch while descending, it is equivalent to coasting in neutral. Due to gravity and inertia, the car's speed will increase. If there is an issue with the vehicle's braking system, the consequences could be severe. There is no truth to the claim that coasting in neutral downhill saves fuel. Pressing the clutch while going downhill can easily cause excessive wear on the clutch. Keeping the clutch pressed will make the release bearing rotate at high speeds continuously, reducing the bearing's lifespan.

Does the timing belt need to be replaced after 6 years of use?

The timing belt does not necessarily need to be replaced after 6 years of use; the specific replacement time depends on actual usage conditions. Here is an extended introduction about timing belts: The timing belt is an important component of the engine's valve system. It connects to the crankshaft and works with a specific transmission ratio to ensure accurate intake and exhaust timing. The reason for using a belt instead of gears for transmission is that belts produce less noise, have smaller variations, and are easier to compensate. Obviously, the lifespan of a belt is shorter than that of metal gears, so it needs to be replaced periodically, generally every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Timing belts have the following advantages: 1. Mature technology; 2. Lower cost; 3. Less noise.

What are Engine Braking and Service Braking?

Engine braking involves flexibly using the parking brake to minimize the use of foot braking. Below are the functions and principles of engine braking: Functions of Engine Braking: Engine braking refers to lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, utilizing the compression resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance to create a braking effect on the drive wheels. Principles of Engine Braking: Engine braking means keeping the vehicle in gear without applying the throttle, so the engine does not provide traction. Instead, the rotation of the wheels drives the transmission system, and the idling engine generates a counteracting resistance on the vehicle. Higher gears result in less engine resistance, while lower gears produce more. This differs from clutch braking, brake braking, and parking braking.

Can people with color weakness pass the driver's license physical examination?

People with color weakness can pass the driver's license physical examination. Here are some precautions for the color weakness test during the driver's license physical examination: 1. Conduct the examination under sufficient lighting: The more adequate the lighting during the examination, the more saturated the colors will be, making it easier for individuals with color weakness to identify colors. 2. Wear color weakness correction glasses: Whether it's color weakness or myopia, wearing glasses is allowed during the driver's license physical examination. Therefore, individuals with color weakness can purchase correction glasses from professional stores, which can enhance their perception of color contrast. 3. Inform the staff about the condition: After being informed, medical staff will arrange a different color blindness test, which can increase the chances of passing for individuals with color weakness.

Are Aftermarket Three-Way Catalytic Converters Effective?

Replacing with a quality-qualified aftermarket three-way catalytic converter is effective. Recommendation to replace at authorized locations: Without professional knowledge, it's advisable to choose an authorized 4S dealership to replace with an original three-way catalytic converter. The quality of the three-way catalytic converter directly affects whether the vehicle can pass the annual inspection. Generally, the original three-way catalytic converter has better compatibility than aftermarket ones, thus effectively catalyzing harmful substances in the exhaust. Avoid using inferior products: Using a substandard three-way catalytic converter not only causes excessive emissions but also increases the vehicle's exhaust pressure, adversely affecting the engine's power output.
