You can shift directly without pressing the brake or accelerator. The S gear and D gear can be freely switched. In automatic transmission models, the S gear and D gear are essentially the same gear position, and they use the same shifting mechanism. How to use the plus and minus signs on the S gear: 1. To switch to manual mode, you must first shift to D gear, then push the gear lever to the right. The transmission will first enter sport mode. 2. At this point, you can shift gears by pushing the gear lever forward or backward. 3. If you want to switch back to automatic mode, simply push the gear lever to the left to the D gear position to complete the switch. At this point, the gear will be controlled by the computer.

Why does the 7th-generation Accord have high fuel consumption?

The reasons for high car fuel consumption include abnormal tire pressure or switching to larger-sized tires; not turning off the engine during prolonged idling or frequent ignition; aggressive acceleration and frequent braking while driving; driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears; fully open windows in summer and using air conditioning during traffic jams; not planning the route properly, driving on congested roads, and frequent lane changes. The combined fuel consumption of the 7th-generation Accord ranges from 4.2-6.5L/100km. There are a total of 9 models of the 7th-generation Accord currently on sale. The Rui Cool Edition and Rui Leading Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km. The Phantom Night Rui Smart Edition and Phantom Night Rui Premium Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 4.4L/100km. The Comfort Edition, Luxury Edition, and Premium Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6L/100km. The Phantom Night Flagship Edition and Phantom Night Premium Edition have a combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is higher in real-world conditions, averaging around 7.6L. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, measured under the NEDC test procedure. Real-world fuel consumption is higher than this value, averaging around 7.6L. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits in the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio in the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in older vehicles, various faults may inevitably occur.

What does it mean when remote sensing detects excessive exhaust emissions?

When a car owner is driving on the road and passes an electronic screen, it may display that the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceed the standard. Failing the remote sensing test for exhaust emissions can result in fines. Manual Testing: Manual testing of vehicle exhaust emissions has some inconveniences. For example, stopping vehicles for testing in heavy traffic can easily cause road congestion, and idling or decelerating vehicles may emit even more pollutants. Remote Sensing Testing: Remote sensing testing consists of three parts: a monitoring device, a capture system, and a display system. When excessive exhaust emissions are detected from a passing vehicle, the system can synchronously record the license plate number of the non-compliant vehicle through data analysis. Then, by accessing the traffic management department's networked database, additional details about the non-compliant vehicle can be obtained, and the owner can be notified to repair the vehicle and then undergo re-inspection.

How many points will be deducted for driving straight in a turning lane?

For the violation of driving straight in a turning lane, there are two scenarios with different penalties. In the first scenario, when both the turning and straight signals are green, driving straight in a turning lane is penalized as not driving in the designated direction, resulting in a fine and a deduction of 2 points. In the second scenario, when the straight signal is green but the turning signal is red, driving straight in a turning lane is treated as running a red light, resulting in a fine and a deduction of 6 points. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," motor vehicles passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals should enter the designated lanes according to the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked guide lanes. Motor vehicle drivers who violate the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will be given a warning or fined and have points deducted. Methods to avoid driving in the wrong lane: To avoid such mistakes during daily travel, drivers should plan their routes in advance before setting out. When approaching an intersection, pay attention to the directional arrows on the road and enter the correct lane early. Do not wait until the last moment to adjust your route. Always observe the road markings, especially when driving on unfamiliar roads. Additionally, if a violation is already noticed, be sure to pay attention to other vehicles and pedestrians to avoid causing more serious consequences.

How many days of practice does it take for a beginner to become proficient in driving an automatic transmission car?

Generally, it takes about 2-3 months of practice for a beginner to become proficient. Overview: An automatic transmission car typically refers to a vehicle that uses an automatic transmission (AT) to adjust speed. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and shifting operations. Additional Information: Automatic transmission cars usually use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward.

How does the airbag work?

Working state of the airbag: After the sensor detects a vehicle collision, the airbag quickly inflates with gas to protect the safety of the front passengers and the driver. To enable rapid inflation, the airbag does not use compressed air release but instead employs a chemical reaction to quickly generate a large amount of gas. Introduction: An airbag is a device that inflates to protect occupants before they experience a secondary collision during a crash. As an auxiliary device to the seat belt's occupant restraint system, the airbag is referred to as the airbag system. Composition: The airbag system consists of an integrated airbag module comprising the airbag and the inflator (gas generator), a collision sensor system that detects impacts and sends deployment commands to the airbag module, and wiring harnesses that transmit signals from the sensors.

Should the Rearview Camera Be Installed at a 4S Shop or Outside?

As long as the product installed outside is genuine OEM and the installation is done correctly, it is acceptable. Introduction to Rearview Cameras: The rearview camera, also known as a parking assist system, reverse visual system, or vehicle monitoring system, is referred to in English as: vehicle-backup-camera. This system is widely used in various types of large, medium, and small vehicles for reversing or driving safety assistance. Advantages of Rearview Cameras: The installation is simple. Generally, a standard single-output rearview camera only requires connecting the positive wire of the power link to the positive terminal of the car's reverse light power, and the negative wire of the power link to the negative terminal of the reverse light or to the ground (GND). The wiring can be easily understood by studying the vehicle model, and the camera can be installed by drilling a hole in an easily accessible position.
