For automatic transmission vehicles, once the car is started, the auto start-stop system is in normal working condition. When encountering a red light or other reasons for stopping, press the brake, and the engine will automatically shut off after two seconds. To start again, simply release the brake and press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, and the engine will restart. For manual transmission vehicles, the auto start-stop system is also enabled by default. When stopping, shift to neutral, pull the handbrake, and release the clutch. After the system recognizes these three actions, it will automatically shut off the engine. When the clutch is pressed again, the engine will automatically restart. The engine start-stop technology automatically shuts off the engine during temporary stops while driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine.

What is the use of cruise control function?

Cruise control allows drivers to maintain a stable speed without stepping on the accelerator, greatly alleviating leg and waist fatigue during long-distance driving and reducing the likelihood of accidents. The following is a related introduction to cruise control: 1. Activation method: First, ensure the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h, then press the ON/OFF button (the middle one) to activate this function. Note that activating this function does not mean cruise control is engaged. You also need to press the topmost of the three buttons for the cruise function to truly activate. 2. Cruise control system operation process: Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer. The computer continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the vehicle's driving resistance to keep the car moving at the set speed without the need to operate the accelerator.

A car's emission standard can be determined by its production year. Cars produced before 2011 generally meet the China III standard, while those produced after 2011 mostly comply with China IV and China V standards. Cars produced in 2019 may meet either China V or China VI standards. 2. Methods to check the emission standard: Look for the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has a clear mark on the back. You can also check on professional inquiry websites. For new cars, refer to the vehicle's factory certificate. Alternatively, take the vehicle's registration certificate to the relevant authorities for verification.

What are the hazards of using engine braking?

Engine braking hazards are that the frequency of traffic accidents on continuous downhill slopes is higher than on other roads. The following is relevant information about engine braking: 1. Damage: No damage to the machine. Frequent use can damage the transmission, as engine braking relies on downshifting, which puts the most stress on the transmission. It is best to slow down first and then downshift. Using engine braking on long downhill distances can effectively reduce brake heat fade. 2. Definition: Engine braking refers to lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, using the compression resistance, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke to create a braking effect on the drive wheels.

What is the fine for a car's brake light not working?

A fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan will be imposed. The specific amount depends on the enforcement standards of local traffic police.

The purpose of brake lights is to warn the following vehicle: the car ahead has braked, please slow down. The probability of rear-end accidents due to non-functioning brake lights is very high. 2. Liability: If a rear-end collision occurs because the brake light is not working, the driver will bear some liability. If the brake light of the leading car does not illuminate when braking, leading to a rear-end collision, the leading car will be held primarily responsible, as determined by the police. 3.

Can HUD be installed as an aftermarket accessory?

Heads-up display systems can be installed as aftermarket accessories, but the retrofitted ones cannot display much information, mostly only showing engine speed and vehicle speed. Here are some relevant introductions about heads-up displays: 1. Display information: Some high-end cars come equipped with heads-up display systems from the factory. These original equipment manufacturer (OEM) heads-up displays can show a lot of information, such as vehicle speed, navigation information, and currently playing songs. 2. Function of installation: The heads-up display projects information onto the windshield, allowing the driver to focus on the road ahead. The heads-up display system can enhance driving safety.
