To turn off ECO mode, you can use the DRIVE-MODE button in the car to switch the driving mode to Normal or Sport mode. Below are the specific introductions of car driving modes: 1. NORMAL mode: Achieves the best balance between fuel economy and power performance. Suitable for city driving. 2. SPORT mode: Controls the transmission and engine to achieve fast and powerful acceleration. This mode also alters the steering feel, making it suitable for situations requiring agile driving responses, such as driving on winding roads. When Sport mode is selected, the "SPORT" indicator on the multi-information display will light up. 3. ECO mode: Helps the driver accelerate in an environmentally friendly manner and improves fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics and controlling the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling). When ECO mode is selected, the "ECO-MODE" indicator on the multi-information display will light up. When the air conditioning is in use, the system automatically switches to the air conditioning ECO mode for better fuel economy.

I drive a family sedan and often think about how to turn off the ECO mode, especially when stuck in city traffic or climbing hills. The exact steps vary by car model, but the general method is to start the vehicle and look for a button or menu item labeled "ECO" on the steering wheel, center console, or touchscreen, then tap it once. For example, my Volkswagen Golf has a physical button on the right side of the dashboard, while BYD's electric cars require selecting "Driving Mode" from the infotainment system settings and changing it to "Normal." ECO mode saves fuel, roughly 10%-15%, but limits engine output, making the acceleration sluggish. Turning it off provides quicker acceleration and smoother overtaking. If you can't find it, the owner's manual has clear instructions. Note: Avoid operating it during high-speed driving; turning off ECO slightly increases fuel consumption but doesn't harm the engine. Regular vehicle checks are recommended, as mode switching affects the driving experience.

What to Do About Engine Oil Burning?

Automobile oil burning can be resolved by repairing the engine, cleaning carbon deposits inside the engine, replacing damaged parts, and changing valve stem seals. If the situation is severe, a major engine overhaul may be necessary. It is important to address oil burning promptly when it occurs. Below are the reasons for automobile oil burning: 1. Poor valve sealing: Valves prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber, but over time, wear and aging can lead to poor sealing, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber more easily. 2. Increased piston clearance: Over long-term operation, carbon deposits form on the pistons, and some wear occurs. As time passes, the piston clearance increases, making it easier for oil to enter the combustion chamber. 3. Low oil viscosity: Using oil with too low viscosity can also cause oil burning. When oil viscosity is too low, it flows more easily and can enter the cylinder, participating in combustion. 4. Excessive oil volume: High oil pressure can force some oil into the cylinder, leading to oil burning.

What Causes Engine Shaking After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

The reason for engine shaking after cleaning the throttle body is the lack of data matching. Below are the specific causes and solutions for engine shaking: 1. Carbon deposits in the car causing difficulty in ignition. At idle, it may also be accompanied by slight shaking; cleaning the throttle body and fuel injectors can resolve this. 2. Weak ignition energy from the spark plugs. If spark plugs are not replaced after the maintenance cycle, their ignition energy decreases severely, leading to misfires. 3. Insufficient fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel circuit. Low fuel pressure directly causes the engine to misfire; specifically check the fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, and internal fuel lines. 4. Weak battery. Jump-starting the car or using another battery can solve this issue. 5. Incorrect engine timing. Mismatched engine timing or skipping teeth when replacing the alternator belt in certain engine models can cause difficulty in ignition.

How old can a car's manufacturing date be to still be considered new?

Generally, a new car's manufacturing date should not exceed two months. The manufacturing date can be checked by the 10th character of the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Below are the specific details about the VIN: 1. Among the 17 characters of the VIN, the first 3 characters represent the country of manufacture, the manufacturer, and the vehicle type, respectively. 2. Characters 4 to 8 of the VIN indicate vehicle characteristics, such as the vehicle category, body type, engine type, and gross vehicle weight rating. 3. The 9th character is a check digit used to verify the accuracy of the VIN. 4. The 10th character indicates the model year, which proves the year the vehicle was manufactured. 5. The 11th character represents the assembly plant, with '0' indicating original factory assembly. 6. Characters 12 to 17 of the VIN are the production sequence number, used by manufacturers to recall vehicles with quality issues based on this sequence.

What is the difference between V and H tires?

Tire V and H main differences: 1. Different speed ratings: H indicates a maximum safe speed of 210 km/h; V indicates a maximum safe speed of 240 km/h. 2. Different performance: The higher speed-rated tire V represents stronger tire performance. It's important to know that when tires roll at high speeds, they generate heat due to squeezing and deformation, so the higher-grade tire V naturally has superior resistance. Additional information: The tire shoulders and tread patterns are reinforced to reduce the likelihood of deformation, and the tire's wet grip performance is also improved.

Is it serious if a sedan's chassis is hit?

The severity of a sedan's chassis impact depends on the extent of the collision. Here are specific methods to protect the sedan's chassis: 1. Apply chassis armor coating. The protective area of the engine guard plate is too small, so applying a layer of chassis armor to the vehicle's chassis is recommended. 2. Install an engine guard plate. The engine guard plate can protect the engine from being hit by road debris and scraped by foreign objects, but this feature is not available on all models. While the guard plate can reduce damage to the engine from scraping the bottom, it may affect engine heat dissipation and could hinder the engine's downward movement during a collision, creating safety hazards. Therefore, when selecting a guard plate, it is important to choose a qualified product. 3. Be aware of the vehicle's ground clearance. Try to avoid scraping the bottom as much as possible.
