BYD Qin can switch between fuel and electric power by selecting different driving modes. The relevant information is as follows: 1. The second-generation DM technology equipped in BYD Qin has four working modes, namely EV+ECO, EV+SPORT, HEV+ECO, and HEV+SPORT. Especially in HEV+ECO mode, different power distributions are made under different working conditions to achieve the best comprehensive economy, allowing for free switching. When the starting speed is below 40KM/H, it is driven purely by electricity. When the speed exceeds 40KM/H and the engine is in the economical fuel consumption zone (1500-3500 rpm), it is driven by fuel. 2. The driving modes of BYD Qin include pure electric plus economy, pure electric plus sport, hybrid plus economy, and hybrid plus sport.

I've been driving my BYD Qin for three years now, and the hybrid-electric switching is truly intelligent. There's a dedicated button on the driver's side labeled 'EV Mode'—just a light press switches it to pure electric drive, making the car whisper-quiet on electricity alone. When the battery runs low, it seamlessly switches back to the gasoline engine without any manual intervention, like during my long trips when the battery was nearly depleted and the system automatically switched to fuel. For daily commutes with stop-and-go traffic, using electricity is more economical, while on highways, the gasoline engine takes over with lower fuel consumption. I make it a habit to charge in advance, keeping the battery above 80%, so I can start most trips on electric power. The car's central display also shows an energy flow diagram, clearly illustrating the real-time distribution between fuel and electricity. Overall, the design is thoughtful and hassle-free, offering a quiet and economical driving experience.

What are the reasons for the engine warning light in the Lynk & Co 02?

The engine warning light in the Lynk & Co 02 may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: The sensors mentioned here include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which may trigger the engine warning light. Fuel or oil quality issues: If fuel or engine oil is not added as required by the manufacturer, it may cause engine wear and lead to the illumination of the warning light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can result in engine carbon deposits or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging problems: Issues with the intake turbocharging pipeline or turbocharger can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The most common issue is a damaged turbocharger, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If there is an issue with the vehicle's intake, it may lead to clogged engine pipelines, and in severe cases, trigger the engine warning light. A dirty or uncleaned air filter can cause intake problems. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system faults can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Common causes include faulty rear oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, exhaust camshafts, or bearing wear. The catalytic converter is the most frequent culprit. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions can easily lead to catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally and trigger the engine warning light. If the engine warning light illuminates, follow these steps: First, check whether the engine is running normally, such as if there is shaking, black smoke, etc. If such symptoms are present, avoid restarting the engine. Particularly, do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'ON' position without pressing the clutch. The vehicle will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe whether the warning light on the dashboard turns off. If the warning light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, identify the problem, and perform targeted repairs.

Is It Good to Use a Car Cover?

Car covers can provide good protection for the car paint and windows, especially for high-end cars. Regular use of a car cover can extend the lifespan of the car paint, keeping it shiny and new. Here is some relevant information about car covers: 1. Introduction: A car cover, commonly known as a car garment, is an outer cover made of canvas or other flexible and wear-resistant materials tailored to the car's dimensions. It serves as a protective accessory for the car. The car cover consists of three parts: the body, straps, and spring hooks. 2. Functions: It prevents dirt, dust, water, rain, and snow, resists UV damage to the car paint, interior, and tires, provides some degree of heat insulation, and prevents excessive interior temperatures in summer. It also helps avoid scratches from pedestrians or children.

How Soon After Purchasing a New Car Is It Suitable to Drive on the Highway?

It is suitable when the engine speed reaches above 4000 rpm but below the redline, maintaining this for 10-20 minutes, with each gear being held for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The purposes of driving on the highway are as follows: 1. Smooth operation: To allow the pistons and camshaft inside the engine to work rapidly for the first time, enabling the transmission gears to rotate at high speed, ensuring smoother meshing between the gears. 2. Smooth gear shifting: High-speed driving can provide the car with better power for future driving, ensuring smooth gear shifting. 3. Carbon deposit removal: When the engine runs at high speed, the fuel supply increases, and the fuel flow rate rises, which helps flush out dirt and impurities in the fuel system, achieving a cleaning effect.

Can You Press the Brake During the Subject Three Driving Test?

You can press the brake during the Subject Three driving test. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Situations requiring braking. (1) Straight through an intersection: When approaching an intersection ahead, regardless of whether there are traffic lights or voice prompts, you must press the brake to slow down and proceed only after confirming safety. (2) Left or right turns: Before making a turn, you must slow down first; otherwise, it is easy to cause a traffic accident. (3) Passing crosswalks, bus stops, and school zones: When the vehicle passes these three areas, the student should develop the habit during training to observe road signs at all times while driving and prepare to brake in advance. (4) Meeting another vehicle: Upon hearing the voice prompt for meeting another vehicle, press the brake to slow down appropriately to complete the meeting smoothly. (5) Pedestrians ahead: During Subject Three, you must follow the principle of 'yielding to pedestrians.' While driving, pay attention to observation. If you notice pedestrians crossing, press the brake to slow down or stop to yield. 2. Notes on braking. Do not brake too early: When passing through areas requiring deceleration, do not start braking too early. Braking is only effective within 30 meters of the project. Do not brake too lightly: Pressing the brake lightly is not sufficient.

What is the Difference Between a Non-Full-Size Spare Tire and a Full-Size Spare Tire?

Non-full-size spare tires and full-size spare tires differ in specifications, materials, etc. Below are the differences between non-full-size and full-size spare tires: 1. Different sizes: A full-size spare tire is easier to understand—it has the same specifications as the car's four original tires and usually uses the same rim as the original wheel. A non-full-size spare tire, on the other hand, is narrower in width or has a smaller rim size and typically uses a steel rim. 2. Different weights: A full-size spare tire has the same specifications as the car's four original tires, making it much heavier than a non-full-size spare tire.
