How to Use the Car ECO Mode?

How to use the car ECO mode: 1. In the ECO mode of a car, it can generally be divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. The main difference lies in the intelligent control of energy usage distribution (including electricity, fuel, etc.) and reminder guidance. 2. For non-active ECO driving mode, it mainly serves as a reminder and guidance function, teaching how to save fuel, rather than having a dedicated button to turn on or off like the active ECO mode. 3. Most cars adopt the active driving mode. In this mode, when driving at an economical speed (usually between 60 to 90 kilometers per hour), it can save fuel, and some cars can even control the air conditioning to save electricity. This is commonly seen in Japanese and Korean cars. 4. For the active ECO mode, there is usually a dedicated control button that the driver can turn on when needed. Generally, when the speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour or when idling in N, P gear, or manual mode, the ECO mode can be turned off. It is especially important to note that there is no need to turn on this mode during uphill climbs. 5. When the optimal fuel supply is reached, the dashboard will simultaneously display the green "ECO" symbol. If the accelerator pedal is pressed hard for acceleration or when encountering an uphill section, the "ECO" symbol will disappear.

I often get stuck in traffic during my daily commute and noticed that turning on the ECO mode significantly reduces fuel consumption, especially on urban roads. This fuel-saving mode usually has a physical button near the gear shift or center console—just press it after starting the engine. It works by reducing throttle sensitivity, controlling air conditioning power, and optimizing transmission shift logic. However, you'll feel a noticeable drop in acceleration, so it's best to turn it off before overtaking or climbing hills. I recommend using ECO mode during rush hour and turning it off on highways—this way, you can save fuel even with the AC on. Using ECO mode long-term can protect the engine, but don’t rely solely on it to solve fuel consumption issues; regular maintenance is more important.

What causes two jerks three seconds after releasing the throttle?

Jerking after releasing the throttle could indicate an issue with the transmission. It's advisable to check if the transmission fluid is low or has deteriorated. If the transmission fluid is fine, it's recommended to visit a professional repair shop or a 4S dealership to have the transmission control system inspected. Generally, when the engine speed and vehicle speed just meet the gear-shifting criteria at low speeds, the upshift jerk can be more pronounced. If the throttle is slightly larger, making both engine speed and vehicle speed significantly exceed the shifting standard, the gear-shifting jerk will be less noticeable. For manual transmission cars, jerking during throttle application and gear shifting is largely a matter of driving technique, often due to uncoordinated clutch and throttle operation or releasing the clutch too quickly when starting. The main issue with manual transmission cars occurs during downshifting. Many beginners often fail to shift gears correctly when decelerating and downshifting, causing gear dragging which results in vehicle jerking.

What is the difference between a 6-seater and a 7-seater car?

In addition to some differences in seating, there are also differences in vehicle inspections. 6-seater cars are exempt from inspection for the first six years, while 7-seater cars require an inspection every two years. More details are as follows: 1. 6-seater cars: For cars with six seats or fewer, there is no need for on-site inspection within the first six years. After six years, an annual inspection is required. Compared to 7-seater cars, 6-seater cars have more convenient inspection procedures. There are also some differences in maintenance between 6-seater and 7-seater cars in the later stages. 2. 7-seater cars: 7-seater cars require an inspection every two years. Starting from the second year, the compulsory traffic insurance for 7-seater cars will be adjusted based on the vehicle's driving record from the previous year. If the car is involved in a traffic accident in the first year, the cost of compulsory traffic insurance in the second year will increase by 30%.

Will Mercedes-Benz Produce the W222 Again?

Mercedes-Benz officials have stated that the V12 models will no longer be produced after the current generation S-Class (W222) is replaced. The Mercedes-Benz W222 is the tenth-generation S-Class W222 series, which debuted in Hamburg, Germany, in 2013. The tenth-generation S-Class still comes in two variants: standard wheelbase and long wheelbase. The standard wheelbase model has a body length of 5116mm, width of 1899mm, height of 1496mm, and a wheelbase of 3035mm, while the long wheelbase model measures 5246mm in length with a 3165mm wheelbase. From the side, the new S-Class retains a very stately appearance, with simple lines along the body conveying a sense of prestige. Mercedes-Benz has once again incorporated a wealth of leather and wood trim into the interior design of the new S-Class. The two-spoke steering wheel features a classic design with exquisite materials, and the delicate hand-stitched seam around the center of the wheel is particularly appealing. The new full LCD instrument cluster is clear, easy to read, and rich in content. Although the interior layout is largely similar to the previous generation S-Class, the use of retro-style circular air vents enhances the overall design, making the tenth-generation S-Class interior more luxurious and elegant.

Will New Energy Vehicles Stall When Out of Power?

New energy vehicles will stall when out of power. When the engine is not running, all electrical appliances in the vehicle are powered by the battery. Even when all appliances are turned off, some electrical components remain directly connected to the battery, causing the battery's charge to gradually deplete. When the engine is running, the generator charges the battery and supplies power to the entire vehicle. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the battery should not run out of power. There are several situations where the battery may run out of power: First, if the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the battery will naturally discharge, leading to a reduction in charge. The solution is to disconnect the battery terminals before long-term parking or periodically start the vehicle to recharge the battery. Second, if the generator malfunctions—whether due to internal faults, loose contacts, or corrosion—it may fail to generate electricity, forcing the vehicle to rely solely on the battery, which will eventually drain. The solution is to inspect the generator and its wiring. Third, as the battery ages, its capacity diminishes, making it prone to insufficient charge even with minimal use. The solution is to replace the battery with a new one.
