When the vehicle speed reaches above 40 km/h, turn on the cruise control switch. The "+" and "-" buttons can control the cruise control speed, with the upper one for acceleration and the lower one for deceleration. The cruise control distance is activated by the distance adjustment button, and then the "+" and "-" buttons are used to set the distance.

What is the Difference Between 4WD and 2WD Vehicles?

Here are the differences between 4WD and 2WD vehicles: 1. Different driving methods: 2WD means that only two wheels are the driving wheels, connected to the vehicle's power system. 4WD refers to the form where the vehicle maintains four-wheel drive throughout the entire driving process. 2. Different fuel consumption: The four-wheel drive mode can provide better off-road and handling performance at any time, but it cannot adjust torque distribution according to road conditions and has higher fuel consumption. 3. Different numbers of differentials: The differential in a 2WD vehicle allows the left and right (or front and rear) driving wheels to rotate at different speeds. In 4WD, to drive all four wheels, all wheels must be connected. If the four wheels are mechanically connected, an intermediate differential is required to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels.

What is the traffic violation code 10393?

Traffic violation code 10393 means: The motor vehicle is parked in violation of regulations, obstructing the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians, and the driver is not present at the scene. Here is some relevant information: 1. In code 10393, the first digit '1' indicates the implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities; the second digit '0' means no points are deducted; '39' is a sequential code, representing the behavior under the same classification. 2. Traffic violation codes are a set of coding regulations established by the Ministry of Public Security for traffic violations committed by motor vehicles and pedestrians. By querying the traffic violation code, the specific violation of the driver can be quickly identified, thereby speeding up the penalty process for traffic violations.

How to Identify When Car Engine Oil Needs Replacement

Methods to identify when car engine oil needs replacement are: 1. Use the oil dipstick to drip a few drops of oil onto your finger, then rub it repeatedly. If you feel impurities or poor viscosity, consider replacing it; 2. Remove the oil dipstick and observe the oil droplets under strong light. If visible impurities are present, replacement is needed. Method for changing car engine oil: Use a jack to lift the front of the vehicle or place it on a bridge frame for easy access underneath. Remove the bottom protective panel to expose the oil filter and drain plug. Unscrew the drain plug on the oil pan (note that oil will spray out when loosening), position an oil container beneath the vehicle to collect the old oil, then proceed with replacing the new oil.

Should You Alternate Between High and Low Beams When Overtaking at Night?

When overtaking at night, it is necessary to alternate between high and low beams. Switching between high and low beams to alert the vehicle ahead can enhance driving safety. The method for using high and low beams is as follows: 1. Turn on the low beams when driving on roads with streetlights at night; 2. Use low beams when encountering pedestrians, narrow roads, narrow bridges, and curves at night; 3. Turn on the high beams when driving on roads without streetlights or on straight, distant roads with poor visibility at night; 4. When meeting another vehicle at night, if the high beams are on, be sure to turn them off and wait until the meeting is complete before turning the high beams back on.

What are the three pedals under the foot of a manual transmission car?

The three pedals under the foot of a manual transmission car are the clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals. The following is an introduction about the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate and gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 3. Application: The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time.
