Open the console storage compartment cover, insert the key into the backup slot, then depress the brake pedal, press the push-button ignition switch, and start the vehicle. Here is more information about the Explorer: 1. The Explorer is a full-size SUV launched by Ford, positioned in the large SUV segment. 2. The Explorer utilizes high-strength, lightweight materials such as boron steel and aluminum alloy for construction, ensuring body rigidity while reducing weight, providing structural support for safety, handling, and fuel economy. The body cladding features high-contrast glossy paint instead of conventional black plastic treatment to create a premium design aesthetic. The hexagonal front grille design gives it a distinctive front fascia. 3. For the interior, it comes standard with a 12.8-inch central touchscreen featuring SYNC+ 2.0 intelligent infotainment system. The instrument cluster adopts a full LCD display that can switch themes according to Sport, Eco, or Snow modes. The steering wheel supports 4-way power adjustment, with multifunction buttons including media controls, adaptive cruise control, and voice recognition. 4. In terms of technology, it is equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist system, which integrates adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping, rearview camera, automatic headlights, and other features.

What does eco pro mode mean?

Eco-Pro is the energy-saving driving mode of a car. ECO is an English abbreviation, which is synthesized from Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving) and Optimization (power). Eco mode is also divided into active eco driving mode and non-active eco driving mode. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard is on, it indicates that the car's economic mode has been activated. Eco mode is divided into active and non-active. The difference is that the active mode has its own button, and the owner can choose whether to turn it on. When the owner presses the eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light will light up immediately, and the vehicle will automatically start to adjust settings, such as throttle opening, gear shift logic, air conditioning output power, etc. The non-active eco mode does not have a special button. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard is on, it is just a reminder function. Eco will automatically evaluate your driving behavior. If your current driving operation reaches the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will synchronously display the eco indicator light. Most cars adopt the active eco driving mode, that is, there is a separate switch button. In daily driving, we can turn on the eco mode, except when the speed exceeds 120 mph, parking idling, in N/P gear and manual mode, especially when climbing, there is no need to turn on the eco mode, which instead cannot reflect the economic and fuel-saving characteristics of eco, and also affects the power performance. In addition, the eco mode usually fails under the following circumstances: When the speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car will consider the speed, and the eco mode will automatically fail. When parking idling or in N/P gear and manual mode, eco may also fail. When a large torque output is required, such as climbing, the engine computer will judge to give priority to ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the eco mode will not work either.

What is the purpose of the N gear in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission N gear refers to the neutral gear, which is used during startup, towing, or temporary parking. Below is a detailed introduction to the specific functions of each gear in an automatic transmission: 1. P gear is the parking gear: When the gear lever is in the P position, the transmission is in neutral internally, but the output shaft is mechanically locked. At this time, the car will remain stationary even without pressing the brake, and it is generally used for long-term parking. When engaging the P gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage the P gear before the car has come to a complete stop, and always apply the handbrake. When parking on a slope, engage the handbrake first before shifting to P gear. 2. R gear is the reverse gear: When the gear lever is in the R position, the rotation direction of the transmission output shaft is opposite to that of the engine, allowing the car to move backward. When engaging the R gear, the car must be completely stationary. Do not engage the R gear before the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N gear is the neutral gear: When the gear lever is in the N position, the gears inside the transmission are in a freewheeling state, and the clutch is not engaged, resulting in minimal load on the transmission. The N gear is generally used for short-term parking, such as waiting at a red light, and it is also necessary to shift the transmission into N gear when towing the car. 4. D gear is the drive gear: When the gear lever is in the D position, the gears inside the transmission automatically shift between the lowest and highest gears based on factors such as vehicle speed and throttle opening, according to the preset shifting pattern. In most cases, the D gear can be used for driving.

What does PDI inspection mean?

PDI inspection refers to a pre-delivery inspection certification that must be passed before a new car is delivered. The following are the specific items of PDI inspection: 1. Body inspection: mainly checks whether the body panels have paint peeling or dents, and whether components such as lights and wipers are functioning properly. 2. Interior inspection: checks for damages or aging issues in areas such as interior panels, seats, and the dashboard, while also inspecting various functions inside the car, such as the air conditioning, audio system, and power-adjustable seats. 3. Engine compartment inspection: starts the engine to check if it operates smoothly and normally, ensures the internal components and wiring harness in the engine compartment are clean and tidy, and checks for any impact damage. 4. Chassis inspection: lifts the vehicle to inspect the chassis for scratches and checks for oil leaks in components such as the engine and transmission.

What does 185/60r15 tire mean?

185/60r15 tire indicates: the cross-sectional width is 185mm, the aspect ratio is 60%, R stands for radial tire structure, and the rim diameter is 15 inches. Below are precautions for car tires: 1. Pay attention to tire pressure: Pressure is the lifeline of a tire, both too high and too low will shorten its service life. If the pressure is too low, the tire body deformation increases, cracks are prone to appear on the tire side, and flexing motion occurs, leading to excessive heat generation, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. Too low pressure will also increase the tire's contact area and accelerate shoulder wear. If the pressure is too high, the tire cords will be excessively stretched and deformed, the tire body elasticity will decrease, increasing the load on the car while driving, and internal cracks and explosions may occur upon impact. At the same time, excessive pressure will also accelerate crown wear and reduce puncture resistance. 2. Regularly check front wheel alignment: Front wheel alignment greatly affects tire service life, with front wheel toe-in and camber being the main factors. Excessive camber mainly accelerates shoulder wear, i.e., uneven wear; too much or too little toe-in mainly accelerates wear on the inner and outer sides of the tire.

What to Do When a China V Vehicle Lacks Power?

Solutions for insufficient power in China V vehicles are as follows: 1. Improve fuel quality: Use higher-grade gasoline. 2. Clean engine carbon deposits: Locations include the throttle valve, fuel injector, spark plug, and intake tract. 3. Replace fluids and wear parts: Replace the vehicle's air filter. Replace the engine oil and oil filter. Replace the fuel filter and clean the fuel system. Additional information: The China V standard, short for the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicle Pollutants, has an emission control level equivalent to the European Euro 5 emission standard currently in effect.
