Method to turn off the ECO mode in Chery cars: Switch the square button on the lower left of the Chery dashboard to the 'on' interface, then press and hold it to deactivate the ECO mode. ECO stands for the economic driving mode, which is essentially a fuel-saving mode. With advancements in automotive technology and the widespread adoption of energy-saving concepts, many cars now come equipped with ECO functionality. Chery has emerged as a representative of Chinese independent brands, with its first SUV being the Tiggo. The Tiggo measures 4285mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1705mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2510mm. The Tiggo's active and passive safety features surpass those of ordinary sedans, featuring ABS with EBD, four-wheel oversized disc brakes, a prominent LED high-mounted stop lamp, and dual airbags, setting a new standard for car safety.

Back when I drove a Chery, I often wondered how to turn off the ECO mode, especially since the power sometimes felt insufficient for uphill climbs during my daily commute—pretty frustrating. After checking the manual, I learned that most Chery models can disable it with a clearly marked button on the center console. Just press the one labeled 'ECO' lightly, and when the light goes off, it means it's deactivated. If there's no button, try navigating the control menu near the steering wheel: rotate the knob to the driving settings and toggle the ECO option to 'off.' A quick heads-up: turning off ECO will slightly increase fuel consumption, but the driving response improves noticeably, especially when overtaking on highways. If you can't find it, don’t fiddle around—just head to the 4S店 and let them adjust it for you; it’s a quick fix. Over time, I’ve found this small tweak makes daily driving much more comfortable, so I recommend keeping a manual handy for reference.

Can Different Types of Brake Fluid Be Mixed?

Brake fluid should not be mixed. Different types and brands of brake fluid contain varying compositions, and mixing them can lead to a decline in performance and chemical reactions, which may reduce the braking effectiveness of the vehicle and negatively impact the fluid's temperature resistance, compromising driving safety. Brake fluid is a functional liquid used to stop wheel rotation, serving to transmit energy while also providing anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and lubrication benefits. Types of brake fluid: Castor oil-alcohol type, made from refined castor oil and low-carbon alcohol; Synthetic type, formulated with ethers, alcohols, esters, and additives for lubrication, oxidation resistance, rust prevention, and rubber swelling resistance; Mineral oil type, produced from refined light diesel fractions with thickeners added. Precautions for using automotive brake fluid: If gasoline, diesel, or engine oil accidentally mixes into a synthetic brake fluid-based braking system, the incompatibility between fluids can reduce braking effectiveness. For vehicles driven normally for 40,000 kilometers or with brake fluid used continuously for over two years, the fluid may degrade due to prolonged use, so timely replacement is essential. Vehicles equipped with a brake fluid level warning device should monitor whether the warning light is flashing and if the sensor is functioning properly. When the brake fluid is low, it should be replenished promptly. Stored brake fluid should be maintained between the marked minimum and maximum capacity levels. If the brakes exhibit inconsistent performance during normal driving, the brake fluid should be replaced immediately. Before replacement, clean the braking system thoroughly with alcohol. If the vehicle pulls to one side during braking, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the braking system. If the wheel cylinder rubber cups are excessively swollen, it may indicate poor-quality brake fluid. In such cases, replace the fluid with a higher-quality option and also replace the rubber cups. During seasonal changes, especially in winter, if braking performance declines, the brake fluid grade may not be suitable for winter conditions. When replacing, choose a brake fluid with lower viscosity at low temperatures. Do not mix different types or brands of brake fluid. For braking systems with specific requirements, use the designated brake fluid brand. Since formulations vary across brands and types, mixing can degrade performance. Even brands labeled as compatible or interchangeable may not perform satisfactorily, so avoid long-term mixed use. If water or impurities are found in the brake fluid, replace or filter it immediately to prevent insufficient braking pressure and compromised braking performance. Regularly replace brake fluid: The volume of brake fluid changes with temperature, so the reservoir has a vent hole. Air drawn in through this hole may contain moisture or contaminants, which can lower the boiling point of the fluid. During prolonged braking, the system heats up, increasing the risk of vapor lock due to compressed air, leading to reduced braking force or failure. For safety, brake fluid must be replaced periodically.

What are the symptoms of aging ignition coils?

Ignition coil aging manifests as follows: Engine vibration: During operation, the engine may exhibit intermittent shaking, accompanied by symptoms such as sluggish acceleration. Increased fuel consumption and reduced power: As the spark plug's firing capability weakens, the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine becomes incomplete, leading to adverse effects like increased fuel consumption and decreased power. Excessive carbon buildup: Weakened spark plug firing capability results in incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This incomplete combustion produces a carbonaceous deposit called carbon buildup, and black smoke may also emerge from the vehicle's exhaust pipe.

What Does Contract Car Mean?

Contract car refers to signing an agreement with the merchant to receive subsidies on a monthly or quarterly basis within a specified period. Below is more relevant information: 1. You must prepay a fee to qualify for the subsidy policy under the corresponding contract. 2. Currently, there are many similar contracts in the market, mainly reflected in different industries. 3. During the lease period, you must comply with national laws, regulations, and decrees, drive safely, and bear all legal liabilities and financial losses caused to Party A due to illegal, disciplinary, or traffic violations. 4. The leased vehicle cannot be used for business activities, subleased, lent, pawned, or mortgaged; it cannot be handed over to unlicensed drivers.

Do I still need to display the vehicle annual inspection sticker?

Currently, the vehicle annual inspection sticker does not need to be displayed on the windshield, as the electronic version can be used directly. Electronic inspection exemption label: For vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years, you can directly apply for the electronic inspection certificate online. For vehicles still within the valid inspection period, the traffic management department will uniformly generate electronic inspection certificates, which vehicle owners can download and use online. Vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates, mainly aimed at eliminating potential safety hazards and ensuring proper vehicle maintenance.

What Causes Front Wheel Pulsation During Hard Braking?

Generally, brake pulsation may be related to the brake caliper, master cylinder, brake disc, brake pads, or flange plate. Here is relevant information: 1. Emergency braking: Emergency braking refers to simultaneously pressing both the brake pedal and clutch pedal (for manual transmission vehicles) during hard braking. If only the brake pedal is pressed, the braking force must overcome two factors: the vehicle's kinetic energy and the engine's traction force. 2. Specific effects: When braking hard, the ABS braking assist system and EPS electronic stability system will activate to maintain normal vehicle operation. Occasional hard braking mainly causes greater wear on brake friction pads and tires, along with slightly increased fuel consumption during restarting, while other damages are negligible.

Is the Prado's spare tire full-size?

The Prado's spare tire is full-size, which means it is the same size as the regular wheels and tires. To remove the spare tire, follow these steps: open the trunk, lift the trunk floor mat to reveal the spare tire, then unscrew the fastening knob to release it. A spare tire serves as a backup in case of a flat or malfunctioning wheel, allowing for timely replacement and preventing the vehicle from being stranded. The Prado measures 4840mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1890mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. Its engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 280Ps, a peak power output of 206kW, and a maximum torque of 365Nm.
