The method to start a Levin is: 1. Insert the key and turn it to ACC position; 2. Observe the instrument panel, after the vehicle completes the detection of airbag electronic components, turn the key to START position to ignite and start the engine; 3. Immediately return the key to its original position after successfully starting the engine. Taking the 2021 Levin as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4640mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, fuel tank capacity of 43L, and curb weight of 1410kg. The 2021 Levin features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 98PS, maximum power of 72kW, maximum torque of 142Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.

When I first started learning to drive the Levin, I always found starting it quite novel yet a bit nerve-wracking. After getting in the car, the first thing was to adjust the seat to a comfortable position, making sure the seatbelt was fastened and the door was securely closed. My right foot firmly pressed on the brake pedal, which is a must for automatic transmission cars; for manual transmission, you'd need to press the clutch. Locating the start button or ignition keyhole, most newer models have a round button on the center console—just press it gently, and the engine immediately hums to life, the tachometer moves slightly, and all the dashboard lights come on. After the engine starts, release the handbrake, shift to D gear, and you can slowly start moving. As a beginner, I always waited a few extra seconds to see if all the dashboard lights went off, ensuring everything was normal before pressing the accelerator. During cold starts in winter, the engine responds a bit slower, but the Levin is reliable—just let it warm up a bit. Overall, it feels as simple and fun as pressing a button in a game, but the key is not to rush before starting—safety first.

I've been driving the Leiling for a while now, starting it feels as natural as breathing. Once seated and the door is closed, firmly press the brake pedal—this step can't be skipped, or the car won't start. Press the ignition button, and the engine responds immediately with almost no delay; once started, the idle sound is steady, and I usually turn on the AC or radio right away. For manual transmission models, you need to press the clutch before turning the key. I've made it a habit to check if the battery indicator light is on before each start to prevent insufficient power from causing issues. In cold weather, warming up the engine for half a minute helps reduce wear. The Leiling's keyless start is super convenient—just keep the key in your pocket for automatic sensing. Experience has taught me that regular maintenance of the starting system can prevent unexpected failures. After years of driving, starting the Leiling is an instant, simple, and reliable process, free of worries.

When driving the Levin, the starting process emphasizes both safety and ease. After getting in the car, adjust your seating position properly and fully press the brake pedal with your right foot. Press the start button, and as long as the engine starts with normal sounds, it's good to go. Before operating, check that doors and windows are locked, and don’t lose the key; after starting, release the handbrake. With the keyless system, just keep the key nearby. It’s also easy for women to get the hang of driving, with fewer and uncomplicated steps. If there are strange noises during startup or abnormal flashing of dashboard lights, I immediately exit the car and seek professional help instead of forcing it. The Levin starts up quickly, reducing the risk of errors. Daily driving starts smoothly and integrates into life without overthinking the details.

What license plate is used for 48V mild hybrid systems?

48V mild hybrid systems use blue license plates. In China, new energy vehicles can use green license plates, mainly including pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Since 48V mild hybrid models are driven by engines, they cannot use green license plates. The following is an introduction to the 48V mild hybrid system: 1. The core components of mainstream 48V mild hybrid systems include a 48V battery, a 48V starter motor/generator, a 48V/12V (DC/DC) voltage inverter, and corresponding control modules. 2. Most 48V batteries are lithium-ion batteries, which not only support fast charging but also have high energy density, effectively controlling volume and reducing the occupation of valuable interior space.

Is it normal for a car to display odo?

It is normal for a car to display odo, which is the total mileage display function of the car. When this function is enabled, a yellow odo light will appear on the vehicle's dashboard. The car odo odometer is a common digital instrument. It works by engaging the transmission gear of the vehicle's counter drum wheel with the worm gear on the speedometer drive shaft, causing the vehicle's counter drum wheel to rotate. Its characteristic is that when the upper-level drum wheel completes a full rotation, the lower-level drum wheel rotates one-tenth of a turn. The function of the car odo is to force a downshift to increase engine speed and enhance acceleration capability, which is useful for short-term overtaking on highways. However, using it in urban areas will increase fuel consumption. After activating the odo function, the highest gear is limited to the 3rd gear.

What causes the brake light to come on?

The reasons for the constant illumination of the brake indicator light are as follows: 1. Handbrake not released: If the handbrake is not released or not fully released, it will cause the brake indicator light to stay on, reminding the driver to release the handbrake before starting. 2. Insufficient brake fluid: Low brake fluid levels can affect the vehicle's braking performance and driving safety. 3. Leakage in brake master cylinder or brake lines: If brake fluid has been recently topped up but the vehicle still shows low brake fluid levels, check for leaks in the brake master cylinder or lines. 4. Air in the brake system: If you feel weak braking or insufficient braking force when applying the brakes, it indicates air in the brake system. In this case, check for air leaks in the vacuum booster pump. 5. Worn brake pads: Severely worn brake pads can reduce braking performance and, in severe cases, cause the vehicle to completely lose braking function.
