Here are the shifting techniques: 1. When starting the vehicle, use first gear: Always depress the clutch fully when shifting, otherwise the gear may not engage. 2. Shift gears progressively - upshift when accelerating and downshift when decelerating: Speed and gear must match perfectly. Shifting must be done one gear at a time without skipping. When decelerating, reduce speed first before downshifting. If you accidentally select the wrong gear, fully depress the clutch and shift again. 3. Shift quickly but smoothly: When gear adjustment is needed, shift immediately once speed changes - speed is crucial. The 100-meter gear change exercise specifically tests shifting speed during exams.

What is the ground clearance of the Touran?

The ground clearance of the Touran is 100mm. The minimum ground clearance of the Touran refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance of the Touran improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Touran features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear four-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150 PS, a maximum power of 110 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Touran's body dimensions are 4527mm in length, 1829mm in width, 1659mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2291mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the Touran is not static; it depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Touran's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For frequent travel to remote areas or driving on rough terrain, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is advisable to improve off-road performance and avoid damage to the undercarriage.

What Octane Gasoline Should the Fit Use?

The Fit should use 92-octane gasoline, as this is the recommended fuel grade specified in the vehicle's official owner's manual. In addition to checking the owner's manual for the appropriate gasoline grade, you can also find this information on the fuel filler cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. For higher compression ratios, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the advent of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the appropriate gasoline grade. Engines with high compression ratios can also be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline due to other influencing factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, higher-octane gasoline has a higher octane rating and better anti-knock properties. For example, 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Fit occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline, using a higher-octane grade will not cause damage, but the increased octane rating can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This results in reduced engine power and thermal efficiency, manifesting as poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane gasoline, using a lower-octane grade can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane rating lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unevenly. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in severe cases.

What is the tire size of the K5?

The K5 has two tire sizes: 235/45R18 and 215/55R17. In 235/45R18, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 45%, meaning the section height is 45% of the width, 18 stands for the rim diameter of 18 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire. In 215/55R17, the first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, 17 stands for the rim diameter of 17 inches, and the middle letter "R" denotes a radial tire. The K5 series uses Hankook OPTIMO-H426 as its tire brand and model. The spare tire is a non-full-size one. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen them, just enough to eliminate resistance, when loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts turn rather than the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, tighten the nuts by hand until all nuts are concealed, at this point the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also has the following common data marked on it: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire. For practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
