Here is the method to start a Great Wall Ora electric vehicle: 1. Press the brake pedal to power on, then press the start button. 2. Next, rotate the gear to D (Drive), release the handbrake, let go of the brake pedal, and gently press the accelerator pedal (more accurately, the power pedal) to complete the startup. Here is some relevant information: 1. Ora is an electric vehicle brand under Great Wall, established in 2018. Among Chinese automotive companies, Great Wall was the first to manage its new energy vehicle business as an independent brand under brand management. 2. The Ora brand is the result of Great Wall Motors' decade-long dedicated research and development, avoiding "oil-to-electric" conversions or "policy-driven vehicles." Leveraging decades of technological expertise, Great Wall launched its first native pure electric vehicle, the Ora iQ, offering consumers more green mobility options while ensuring quality that stands the test. 3. "Ora" symbolizes Great Wall Motors' commitment to meticulousness and persistence in building excellent cars. Derived from the exclamation mark, it represents a tribute and greeting—paying homage to Mr. Euler, greeting users, and saluting the world.

I've been driving an Ora electric car for several years, and the startup process is both quick and intuitive. Once in the car, I fasten the seatbelt to ensure safety first. With my right foot on the brake pedal, the vehicle senses the ready state. Pressing the round start button on the center console—its position is obvious and easy to find—the dashboard lights up immediately, displaying the battery percentage and system self-check status such as battery temperature and charge level. A flashing green light indicates everything is normal. After waiting two or three seconds to confirm there are no warnings, I toggle the electronic gear selector knob to the drive position. Finally, releasing the brake and lightly pressing the accelerator pedal allows for a smooth start. I often use the smart key or app for remote startup, activating the air conditioning or defrosting five minutes before leaving, making the car warm as spring in winter—saving time and providing comfort, perfectly adapting to a busy life. Overall, it's more responsive and silent compared to fuel-powered cars, showcasing the convenience and efficiency of electric vehicles.

As a daily commuter, I'm impressed by Ora's startup design. The brake pedal requires minimal effort to press, and a gentle push of the start button on the right side of the steering wheel instantly illuminates the dashboard, completing self-checks including battery health and motor status. Just shift to D gear and you're ready to go. The app's remote features are even more practical – a simple tap on your phone before exiting the subway remotely starts the car, ensuring the perfect temperature upon boarding with zero commute delays. The startup process is quiet and unobtrusive, with ultra-fast response times. You can even check charging status via Bluetooth connection to prevent unexpected interruptions. This level of convenience makes daily travel effortless and time-efficient, significantly enhancing the overall driving experience. Ora has executed this aspect very cleverly.

At what tread depth should tires be replaced?

Tires should be replaced when the tread depth is less than 2.5mm. A tread depth standard greater than 3.5mm is considered good condition, while between 2.5mm and 3.5mm is normal. When it reaches the minimum limit of 1.6mm, replacement is mandatory. Key considerations for tire replacement include: 1. Selecting tires of the same specification; 2. Replacing the valve stem simultaneously; 3. Paying attention to installation direction and inflation; 4. Checking tire pressure; 5. Performing a four-wheel alignment after replacement. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging automotive components.

Is a Lighter Prone to Explode in a Car?

Lighters are prone to explode in cars. The reason for this is: lighters contain pressurized gas. If placed on the dashboard or instrument panel where they are exposed to direct sunlight, the gas inside the lighter will continuously expand after prolonged exposure to heat. Upon reaching a critical point, an explosion can occur, which may cause severe damage to the vehicle. The main component of lighters is liquid butane, which is highly flammable and explosive. At normal room temperature of 20°C, it can explode. When a lighter is placed in an environment exceeding 55°C, its volume will expand. It is recommended that drivers who have the habit of smoking while driving should remember to take their lighters with them when exiting the vehicle to avoid potential hazards.

Can a car battery be charged directly in the vehicle when it's dead?

When a car battery is dead, it can be charged directly in the vehicle. During engine startup, the starter draws a significant current, which a regular charger cannot supply. If the battery is completely dead, the car won't start. However, if the engine can be started, the alternator will then charge the battery. The functions of a car battery include: 1. Providing power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system during engine startup; 2. Supplying power to vehicle electrical equipment when the engine is off or idling at low speed; 3. Assisting in powering electrical devices when the alternator's output is insufficient; 4. Absorbing voltage spikes in the electrical system to protect electronic components; 5. Storing excess electricity generated by the alternator.

What are the two common cooling methods for engines?

Engines generally have two cooling methods: air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling involves numerous cooling fins on the engine block to increase the contact area with air; water cooling utilizes a cooling system where coolant continuously circulates within the engine to dissipate heat. The main components of an engine include: 1. Valve train; 2. Crankshaft connecting rod mechanism; 3. Ignition system; 4. Cooling system; 5. Lubrication system; 6. Starting system; 7. Fuel supply system. The function of an engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing gas expansion that drives the piston to perform work.

Can the original license plate be retained after a car transfer?

Whether the original license plate can be retained after a car transfer depends on different circumstances: 1. If both parties involved in the vehicle transfer are spouses, the original license plate can be retained; 2. If not, the license plate cannot be used on the original vehicle when the vehicle is sold and transferred normally. In this case, a new vehicle license plate must be selected during the transfer process. A vehicle license plate, also known as a car number plate and vehicle driving license, is a hard-coded plate with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. It is issued by the vehicle management authority after reviewing, inspecting, and registering the vehicle that has applied for the license plate, and it bears the registration code.
