Full-time four-wheel drive vehicles should be towed in neutral gear. The meaning of full-time four-wheel drive is as follows: 1. Full-time four-wheel drive means that at any time, the vehicle is driven by four wheels independently. 2. Full-time four-wheel drive distributes the driving force to all four tires through a flexibly connected central differential, and then through the independent differentials on the front and rear axles. Unlike purely mechanical differential locks, the differentials in full-time four-wheel drive can be viscous coupling or multi-clutch types, but they all allow for a speed difference between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the left and right wheels. 3. Whether a vehicle is full-time four-wheel drive depends entirely on the construction of the transfer case. As the core component that controls the different driving states of the vehicle, the transfer case can be said to determine the overall performance of the vehicle to a certain extent.

How long can you drive when the car displays 'change oil immediately'?

When the car displays 'change oil immediately,' you can typically drive for up to 50 kilometers. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To carry heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include: 1. Checking the oil viscosity—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be changed; 2. The oil color turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil; 4. The oil has an unusual smell.

Which button is for the engine auto start-stop?

Car engine start-stop button is marked with a circle containing an 'A' and the letters 'OFF' below. Here is some relevant information about the auto start-stop button: 1. Function: During traffic jams or at red lights, the engine can automatically shut off and restart when moving, reducing unnecessary fuel consumption and emissions. The auto start-stop function also helps regulate driving behavior to some extent—it won't activate if the seatbelt isn't fastened, and if the seatbelt is unfastened after stopping, the engine won't restart even if the brake is released or the accelerator is pressed. 2. Disadvantages: Increases vehicle cost; raises maintenance expenses; frequent starts accelerate engine wear and battery aging.

What is the fuel consumption of the 2013 Mondeo?

The official combined fuel consumption of the 2013 Mondeo 1.5L model is 6.9L/100km, while the 2013 Mondeo 2.0L model has an official combined fuel consumption of 7.9L/100km. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on individual driving habits. Specific details are as follows: 1. Exterior: The main design of the new Mondeo follows the current style, with modifications made to the details. For example, the front grille has been changed from a mesh pattern to horizontal bars, and the lower air intake and fog lights have been adjusted from a three-section design to a continuous one. The fog lights now feature LED components, enhancing the overall stylish and sporty feel. From the side, the lines of the new Mondeo station wagon remain unchanged, featuring a multi-spoke wheel design. At the rear, the tail light assembly has a more complex internal structure, with the brake lights adopting a C-shaped design for a distinctive lighting effect. 2. Interior: The interior of the new Mondeo largely retains the current design. The air vent edges on the dashboard are outlined with irregular lines, while below is a large central control LCD screen and neatly arranged control buttons. The gearshift mechanism adopts a rotary knob style, making it more refined and easier to operate.

How to Contact the Insurance Company After an Accident?

Check the insurance policy or insurance card, and call the customer service number of the insurance company as indicated. Briefly explain the time, location, and circumstances of the accident. The insurance company will dispatch the nearest loss assessor or inspection vehicle to assist in handling the situation. The specific claims process, compensation amount, and reimbursement ratio will be subject to the insurance company's regulations. For details, please contact the corresponding insurance company for consultation. Below is relevant information about the insurance company's handling process: 1. On-site inspection and loss assessment: The insurance company will conduct an on-site inspection to assess the loss. If it meets the terms of the insurance contract, the insurance company will compensate as agreed. 2. Compulsory traffic insurance takes priority: Compulsory traffic insurance is prioritized for compensation. If the compensation is insufficient, commercial insurance (if purchased) will cover the remaining amount. Apply for commercial insurance compensation, and if the compensation is still insufficient, the at-fault party will make up the difference. Additionally, if insurance other than compulsory and commercial insurance is purchased, compensation will be made according to the relevant regulations of the purchased insurance type.

Do You Need to Buy a Car at a 4S Store?

Buying a car doesn't necessarily require purchasing it at a 4S store. Here is more relevant information: 1. Other car-buying locations: Direct sales stores in auto trade cities can also sell cars. For car manufacturers, 4S stores are primary dealers, while direct sales stores are secondary dealers. The biggest advantage of buying a car at a direct sales store is the lower price. These stores have smaller premises and fewer staff, resulting in lower maintenance costs compared to 4S stores, which need to support hundreds of employees. This allows direct sales stores to sell cars at lower prices. 2. Disadvantages of direct sales stores: When purchasing a car at a direct sales store, the owner needs to handle all vehicle-related procedures themselves, and there are no complimentary gifts. Additionally, not all vehicles at direct sales stores come from 4S stores; a small portion may be refurbished cars, so the vehicle sources are not as reliable. Furthermore, direct sales stores update their vehicle models much slower than 4S stores. Even if a brand updates its models, initially only 4S stores will have the new models available, while direct sales stores may only carry older models.

Should You Press the Brake When Starting in Subject 2?

You must press the brake before starting. Below are the specific details: Starting Procedure: Press the brake, lift the clutch with your left foot—you can lift it quickly at first, but be careful not to overdo it. As you approach the critical point, lift the clutch slowly until you feel the car body shaking noticeably. At this point, you can gradually release the brake. There are two scenarios: First, as soon as you release the brake, the car will start moving. Be sure to keep the clutch steady—do not move your left foot from the clutch position. Only after the car has fully started should you slowly lift the clutch completely. Second, after releasing the brake, the car may not move. This happens when the clutch is lifted exactly to the critical point, balancing between moving and not moving. In this case, the car won’t roll back, though this situation is rare. Still, remain calm and lift the clutch very slowly—just a slight lift will get the car moving.
