Honda Civic's engine start-stop function can be used as follows: 1. The automatic start-stop function of Honda Civic adopts a mechanical button, and the start-stop is in the default activated state. If you need to turn off this function, you can press the A-circle OFF button on the upper right of the gear lever. It is best to use it in conjunction with the auto-hold function. 2. The start-stop function only stops the engine from working, but the oil system does not stop. Although the engine does not rotate, the oil will still flow inside the engine, so that when the car starts again, it can have better lubrication in advance and protect the vehicle's engine. 3. As long as the car is started, the automatic start-stop system is in normal working condition. When you encounter a red light or stop for other reasons while driving, step on the brake, and generally the engine will automatically shut off after two seconds. When you need to start the vehicle to drive, release the brake and step on the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, and the engine will start again. This can also save fuel consumption.

What does the small wrench icon on a car indicate?

When the small wrench icon appears on the dashboard, it does not mean that the car has a fault requiring repair, but rather that the car needs maintenance. This is a reminder for the driver to service the vehicle. The importance of car maintenance: Neglecting daily maintenance can not only cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle but also jeopardize driving safety. For example, a lack of lubrication can lead to cylinder scuffing and bearing failure, while malfunctioning vehicle components can result in traffic accidents. If maintenance is performed diligently, it can keep the vehicle in good condition, allow monitoring of the technical status of various parts, and prevent mechanical and traffic accidents. The scope of car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, ensure normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life.

How Long is the Transmission Warranty?

Automotive transmission warranties generally last no less than 40,000 kilometers or two years. Below are the relevant details: Most vehicles now offer engine warranties that meet or exceed the national minimum requirements. The warranty period for household automotive products is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The three-guarantee validity period for household automotive products is no less than 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

Within 60 days from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice or within 3,000 kilometers (whichever comes first), if major components of the engine or transmission exhibit quality issues, consumers may opt for a free replacement of the engine or transmission. Automotive Warranty Conditions: Automotive warranties come with various conditions, and the warranty periods differ for different components. Consumers should be aware of the warranty duration and conditions for wear-prone parts, as non-quality-related issues for these parts and consumables are not covered under warranty.

Why does the car jerk when releasing the clutch?

Car jerking when releasing the clutch is caused by a mismatch between the engine speed and the current vehicle speed, meaning there is a speed difference between the engine speed and the clutch disc speed. Reasons for jerking when releasing the clutch: Lifting the throttle too early, i.e., releasing the throttle before pressing the clutch during gear shifting, can cause a jerking sensation. Lifting the throttle too late, i.e., pressing the clutch without timely throttle release during gear shifting, can cause the car to accelerate momentarily during the semi-clutch phase, and a power disconnection after full separation can lead to jerking. Methods to prevent jerking: In most cases, the engine speed is lower than the clutch disc speed. After shifting into a new gear, when lifting the clutch to the semi-engaged position, ensuring the engine speed matches or slightly exceeds the clutch disc speed can effectively prevent jerking. Proper coordination between the throttle and clutch is crucial. The speed of releasing the clutch depends on the gear and speed, and the throttle should be adjusted accordingly. Slowly releasing the clutch while applying a bit of throttle can reduce jerking.

What gear should be used when waiting at a traffic light on a slope?

When waiting at a traffic light on a slope, shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. Below are some tips for starting after waiting at a traffic light: Manual transmission starting tips: Judge based on speed. If the speed is above 30 mph, simply press the brake and adjust the pressure as needed. Press the clutch when the speed is below 30 mph. Otherwise, the engine may stall due to gear disengagement. If you are the first car and want a quicker start, shift into first gear, press the clutch, and apply the foot brake when the countdown is less than 10 seconds. Start quickly when the light turns green. Automatic transmission starting tips: The gear to use when waiting at a traffic light depends on the waiting time. If it's less than 30 seconds, simply press the brake and stay in D (Drive) mode. If it's more than 30 seconds, shifting into N (Neutral) is a more reasonable choice. On a slope, engage the handbrake to avoid fatigue from pressing the brake for too long and to prevent the brake lights from dazzling the car behind you.
