After getting in the car, be sure to close the door and fasten your seat belt. After igniting the car, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot. Make sure it's fully depressed. Shift the transmission into first gear. Be precise and quick when shifting. When you feel the handbrake safety release, slowly push the handbrake all the way down. Ensure the handbrake indicator on the dashboard goes off, and the handbrake must be fully released before starting. Gently and slowly release the left foot clutch while observing the road conditions. Once the car starts moving, completely release the left foot clutch.

Does the New Lavida have an engine guard?

The New Lavida does not come with an engine guard. More information about engine guards is as follows: 1. The engine guard is a customized protective device designed specifically for different vehicle models. It prevents mud from enveloping the engine, which could lead to poor engine cooling. 2. The engine guard protects the engine from impacts caused by uneven road surfaces, thereby preventing engine damage. Through its design, it extends the engine's lifespan and avoids engine failure or vehicle breakdown due to external factors during travel. 3. The engine guard helps keep the engine compartment clean by preventing water and dust from entering. It also shields the engine from hard objects like gravel kicked up by the tires while driving.

Where is the engine of the Haval H6 produced?

The engine used in the Haval H6 is a domestically produced engine, specifically a turbocharged engine provided by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi. The engine model specifications for the Haval H6 are: GW4G15B, a 1.5T version engine with a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 285Nm, and a 2.0T version engine with a maximum power of 169kW and a maximum torque of 385Nm. For daily maintenance of the Haval H6 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging the filter and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What are the effects of excessive oil in a single-cylinder diesel engine?

The effects of excessive oil in a single-cylinder diesel engine are as follows: 1. Reduced engine output power. When the engine is running, the crankshaft and connecting rod big end move rapidly. Excessive oil causes violent agitation of the crankshaft and connecting rod, leading to reduced engine output power and increased fuel consumption. 2. Causes blue smoke from the engine exhaust pipe. Excessive oil leads to oil splashing due to the rapid movement of the crankshaft and connecting rod big end, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn, resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust pipe. 3. Causes faults such as piston ring seizure and fuel injector clogging. After burning, oil easily forms carbon deposits on the piston rings, piston top valve seats, and fuel injector, leading to piston ring seizure, fuel injector clogging, and wear between the piston and cylinder. 4. Causes crankcase explosion. An excessively high oil level can lead to oil vapor generation due to agitation by the connecting rod big end. The oil vapor may ignite upon encountering high temperatures, causing a crankcase explosion.

How many kilometers for the first maintenance of a new car?

The first maintenance for a new car should be done after driving 3,000~5,000 kilometers or half a year. More details about the first maintenance of a new car are as follows: 1. Many brand 4S shops have changed the maintenance cycle to 3,000 kilometers/3 months to shorten the customer's maintenance cycle. The two values of 3,000~5,000 kilometers or half a year are based on whichever comes first. Exceeding the manufacturer's specified first maintenance mileage or time will affect the owner's three-guarantee rights. 2. During the initial driving period, since the moving parts of the car have not yet been run-in, it is necessary to drive carefully, otherwise it will aggravate the damage of parts. The running-in period allows each part of the engine to run in smoothly and prolongs the service life of the vehicle. The running-in period of a new car is generally within 5,000 kilometers, which is the deadline for the first maintenance.

What does the headlight auto switch mean?

The 'auto' marking on the light control refers to automatic lighting. When the headlight is set to this position, the lights will not turn on during the day but will automatically activate at night. The uses and switching conditions of headlights are introduced as follows: Purpose of automatic headlights: When the light dims while driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will turn off when the light becomes brighter. According to traffic regulations, headlights must be turned on in advance before entering a tunnel, so manual activation is still required when passing through tunnels. Conditions requiring low beam usage: Low beams must be turned on when driving in areas without streetlights at night, during dusk when it's darker, or at dawn when light is just appearing. In cases of heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed, low beams must also be turned on even during the day. On some roads where lighting is insufficient despite the presence of lighting equipment, low beams should also be activated.

What are the two major mechanisms and five major systems in engine construction?

1. Two major mechanisms in engine construction: 1.1 Crank-connecting rod mechanism. The crank-connecting rod mechanism is the main moving component that enables the engine to complete the working cycle and energy conversion, consisting of the cylinder block group, piston-connecting rod group, and crankshaft-flywheel group. 1.2 Valve train. The function of the valve train is to open and close the intake and exhaust valves according to the engine's working sequence and process. 2. Five major systems in engine construction: 2.1 Cooling system. The function of the cooling system is to dissipate the heat absorbed by heated components in a timely manner, ensuring the engine operates at the optimal temperature. 2.2 Fuel supply system. The function of the gasoline engine's fuel supply system is to prepare a certain quantity and concentration of the air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinder according to the engine's requirements and to expel the exhaust gases from the cylinder to the atmosphere. 2.3 Lubrication system. The function of the lubrication system is to deliver a certain amount of clean lubricating oil to the surfaces of moving parts, reducing friction resistance, minimizing wear, and cleaning and cooling the parts' surfaces. 2.4 Ignition system. In gasoline engines, the combustible mixture in the cylinder is ignited by an electric spark. The cylinder head of a gasoline engine is equipped with a spark plug, the tip of which extends into the combustion chamber. 2.5 Starting and charging system. The starting system consists of a battery, ignition switch, starter relay, and starter motor. The function of the starting system is to convert the battery's electrical energy into mechanical energy through the starter motor to start the engine.
