The method of using hill descent control is: 1. Before descending a slope, turn on the HDC switch, then release the brake and clutch; 2. Press the brake or accelerator to turn it off. The function of hill descent control is: By applying a brief braking force to the front axle of the car, it compensates for engine braking, thereby improving the controllability of the car when driving on steep slopes. Precautions for using hill descent control are: 1. Hill descent control must be set before use to ensure the driver focuses on driving. After setting the hill descent control, the driver should release all pedals to avoid interfering with its operation; 2. When descending a slope with hill descent control, the driver does not need to press any pedals. The car will automatically drive at a speed of about 8 km/h. During automatic driving, the driver only needs to steer the wheel properly.

What is the function of the engine exhaust pipe?

Engine exhaust pipe functions are as follows: 1. It can discharge the exhaust gas generated in the engine, reducing pressure, which is an important guarantee for the continuous operation of a vehicle. 2. Noise reduction: There are two silencing systems in the entire exhaust pipe system. The first one uses the exhaust manifold that discharges the engine's exhaust gas, and the second is the main muffler at the tail of the exhaust pipe. Through these two steps of silencing, the sound of exhaust gas discharge can basically be reduced to a reasonable range. 3. Filtering exhaust gas and reducing pollution: There is a three-way catalytic converter in the middle section of the exhaust pipe. The substances inside it can chemically react with the harmful substances in the exhaust gas, thereby reducing the pollution of the exhaust gas discharge to the air. 4. It makes the vehicle look more aesthetically pleasing, and even differences in shape, such as round or square, can lead to price differences in cars.

What does R.N.D.S mean on a car?

R.N.D.S on a car refers to the gear positions of an automatic transmission vehicle. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. N gear: Commonly known as neutral in manual transmission vehicles, in automatic transmission cars, it can be used during brief stops such as waiting at a red light. 2. R gear: Reverse gear, used when backing up. The car must be completely stopped with the brake pedal pressed before shifting into R gear. 3. S gear: Sport mode. Similar to D gear, S gear is a forward gear but provides more powerful acceleration, allowing the driver to experience the thrill of acceleration. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPMs for a longer period, allowing the car to maintain low gear and high RPMs for extended periods, resulting in greater torque. 4. D gear: Drive gear. Many transmissions are manual-automatic integrated. After shifting into D gear, pushing to the right side enters manual shifting mode, allowing the driver to control the forward acceleration gears.

Does water in the fuel tank affect the engine?

Yes, water in the fuel tank can affect the engine in the following ways: 1. Stalling: Water in the fuel tank can cause frequent stalling of the car. Due to the presence of water, the tank may rust, corrode, or deteriorate. If there is water in the fuel system, it can lead to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, vehicle shaking, and difficulty starting in winter. Symptoms of water in the fuel tank include difficulty starting, engine backfire, high idle speed, or insufficient power. 2. Solution: If water accidentally enters the fuel tank, the owner should stay calm, analyze the cause and extent of the water ingress. If the issue is minor, it can be resolved independently; if severe, professional repair at a specialized auto shop is recommended for better assurance. Since the fuel tank is the source of the car's power, any problems with it can make the car difficult to operate.

Why was the Geely Xingyue L discontinued so quickly?

The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Insufficient brand influence: Although Geely has become a top-tier domestic automotive brand, there is still a significant gap compared to joint-venture brands. The final price of the Geely Xingyue 2.0T model is already comparable to competing models in the same segment, such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan X-Trail. Despite these vehicles having less comprehensive configurations than the Xingyue, many consumers still prioritize joint-venture brands due to their brand appeal. 2. Limited rear seating space: The Geely Xingyue features an exaggerated fastback design at the rear, which greatly enhances its visual appeal—viewed from the side or rear, it can even evoke the illusion of a BMW X6. However, the trade-off for this attractive design is reduced interior space. The headroom in the rear seats of the Xingyue is relatively cramped, leading to a somewhat oppressive feeling when fully loaded, resulting in subpar comfort performance.

Can I go straight when the straight-ahead signal is green on a tidal lane?

When the straight-ahead signal is green on a tidal lane, you can go straight. A tidal lane is a variable lane, meaning that based on different traffic flows during morning and evening rush hours, the direction of the main lane is controlled by changing the direction indicated by the lane signals on conditional roads, thereby adjusting the number of lanes. Rules for using tidal lanes: When driving on a road section with tidal lanes, drivers should pay attention to the instructions on traffic signs to understand the direction of the tidal lane during different time periods. Observe the lane direction indicators above the road. When the lane direction indicator above the tidal lane shows a white arrow symbol, vehicles are allowed to enter and drive on the tidal lane; when the indicator shows a red cross symbol, vehicles are prohibited from driving on the tidal lane. Operating hours of tidal lanes: Tidal lanes are not open all day. They are typically operational during morning and evening rush hours, specifically from 7-9 AM and 5-8 PM. Therefore, when using tidal lanes, pay attention to the operating hours and drive accordingly.

Do I still need to install an OBU after installing ETC?

To enjoy the preferential policies on toll fees, you need to apply for an ETC and also install the OBU electronic tag. ETC Usage Precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent issues such as the ETC device malfunctioning or the absence of an ETC device in the front vehicle, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. You can take it to the bank where you applied for the ETC card or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only requires reactivation.
