The Avancier's auto start-stop function is enabled by default. When the vehicle stops at a traffic light, the engine will automatically shut off. Upon pressing the accelerator, the engine will restart automatically, which helps reduce fuel consumption to some extent. If you wish to deactivate this function, it can be turned off via computer settings or the auto start-stop button. The Avancier is a mid-size SUV produced by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4858mm in length, 1942mm in width, 1670mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.

When driving my Honda Avancier, the auto start-stop function is quite convenient. It usually activates by default when the vehicle starts. Before driving, you can check the button, located either on the left side of the steering wheel or the center console, marked with an 'A' symbol. Press it once, and the light will indicate activation. During driving, when you stop by braking—like at a red light—the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Releasing the brake or lightly pressing the accelerator quickly restarts the engine, ensuring smooth acceleration. I use it frequently in city traffic jams, saving a bit on fuel costs each month. A few reminders: Avoid enabling it on steep slopes or slippery roads to prevent restart delays and potential risks. It may pause when the battery is low, so regular maintenance to check the alternator’s condition is recommended. Over time, sensors might misjudge, but turning it off is simple—just press the button. Once you get used to it, driving becomes more eco-friendly, and the slight vibration during engine restart becomes unnoticeable.

As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I find the automatic start-stop design of the Avancier quite practical. The activation method is extremely simple: sit in the car, start the ignition, locate the button with an "A" or "eco" symbol on the center console, and click it—the light turns on to indicate activation. The function triggers when the car comes to a complete stop and the brake is pressed firmly, causing the engine to shut off automatically, such as when stopping at an intersection for more than a few seconds. It restarts automatically when you release the brake or turn the steering wheel. When using it, I noticed that the sensors monitor engine temperature, vehicle speed, and battery status to ensure a safe restart without affecting driving smoothness.

Additional notes: If you frequently drive short distances or experience slow starts in cold weather, the system may be disabled due to low temperatures. It's advisable to maintain battery health to avoid failure caused by power loss. The system is highly fuel-efficient—based on my experience, it reduces city driving fuel consumption by 10-15%. When modifying car lights, I make sure to turn off the start-stop function first to avoid interfering with the electrical circuits. Regularly test the button's functionality to prevent malfunctions due to aging.

As a cautious car owner, I prioritize safety when using the automatic start-stop feature in the Avancier. Operation steps: After ignition, it's enabled by default; check the dashboard to confirm its status. The button is usually on the driver's side, and pressing it to turn off the light deactivates the feature. I only enable it on straight roads or during regular stops, such as when the engine shuts off automatically at a red light; the engine restarts quickly when moving off, with no noticeable delay. Related warnings: I avoid using it on slopes, during rain or snow, or when braking hard to prevent rolling risks; although the restart vibration is minimal, new drivers may need time to adapt. I check the battery level weekly to prevent function failure; I deactivate the system before long drives to reduce engine wear from frequent starts and stops. Simple summary: Ensure stable operating conditions to use it effectively for environmental and economic benefits.

Does the Nissan Sylphy require bumper removal for fog light replacement?

The Nissan Sylphy does not require bumper removal for fog light replacement. Below is relevant information about fog lights: 1. Function: The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others during foggy or rainy conditions when visibility is significantly affected by weather. Therefore, fog light sources need to have strong penetration capability. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while LED fog lights represent a more advanced option. 2. Activation conditions: According to traffic regulations, when visibility is between 100-200 meters, fog lights, low beams, position lights, and tail lights must be activated. The speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and a distance of over 100 meters should be maintained from the vehicle ahead.

What type of engine oil does the Rena use?

The engine oil specification for the Rena is 5W-20, which is the original Beijing Hyundai factory oil. For later maintenance and oil changes, you can choose international brands such as Mobil, Shell, Castrol, and Total, or domestic brands like Great Wall, Kunlun, Tongyi, and Longpan. The official manual recommends the 5W-20 specification, and any oil of the same specification can be used. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so it's important to pay attention to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the Rena's engine oil is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to cool down, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply some oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the engine valve cover filler port. Typically, fill up to three-quarters of the oil bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.

How Long Can China V Vehicles Be Driven After China VI Implementation?

After the implementation of China VI standards, China V vehicles can still be driven for at least 13 more years, for the following reasons: 1. Large market share: Compared to China II and China III vehicles, China IV and China V vehicles account for over 60% of the market share. In 2017, the number of China IV and China V vehicles nationwide accounted for 69.5% of all vehicle types, totaling nearly 150 million vehicles. 2. Slowing down of traffic restriction policies: Current traffic restriction policies are slowing down. A report in China Daily predicted that the buffer period for traffic restriction policies would be more than 3 years. Moreover, because traffic restriction policies actually involve the exercise of citizens' property rights, the 2015 revision of the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law removed the authorization that allowed local governments to impose traffic restrictions on motor vehicles.
