Whether 10 liters per 100 kilometers is considered high depends on factors such as vehicle category, manufacturer, and specific driving conditions. Taking domestic compact SUVs as an example, the average fuel consumption under comprehensive driving conditions is approximately 10 liters per 100 kilometers. In heavy traffic, consumption can easily exceed this. However, for joint-venture vehicles, especially Japanese models, fuel consumption tends to be lower. Relevant information about fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Introduction: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the standardized measurement of a vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under constant-speed driving conditions as specified by national standards. 2. Testing Methods: Tests can be conducted on roads or using chassis dynamometers, with the 100-kilometer fuel consumption calculated through the 'flow meter method' or 'carbon balance method'.

Why Does the Car Window Automatically Roll Down and Open?

There are several specific reasons why a car window may automatically roll down: 1. Window regulator failure: The retaining cable of the window regulator is damaged. It is recommended to replace and reinstall a new one. 2. Issues with the window anti-pinch function: The car is equipped with an anti-pinch feature. When the window encounters significant resistance while rolling up, the anti-pinch function may be mistakenly triggered, causing the window to automatically roll down. This could be due to problems with the sealing strip or the window regulator. 3. Faulty control button box: Moisture in the control button box may cause system errors. 4. Obstruction in the window guide channel: If there is excessive resistance in the window guide channel when the window is rolling up, the motor's current increases. If the window does not fully close, the anti-pinch function will activate, causing the motor to reverse. This issue requires cleaning or replacing the window guide channel.

Can Hill Descent Control Be Kept On All the Time?

Hill Descent Control (HDC) is designed to use the mechanical friction between transmission gears to slow down the vehicle when descending a slope, and it is not recommended to keep it on all the time. HDC, also known as Hill Descent Control System, utilizes the transmission to allow the driver to smoothly navigate steep downhill sections without fully depressing the brake pedal. Here are some related points: 1. The Hill Descent Control function only needs to be turned on when necessary; there is no need to keep it on all the time. Especially if it is activated while driving on flat urban roads, it will directly affect the vehicle's speed. 2. When Hill Descent Control is activated, the friction between transmission gears increases, causing excessive wear on the transmission. It also leads to unnecessary fuel consumption. This system adjusts to the driver's needs, moving forward at a speed slightly faster than walking pace, allowing the driver to focus entirely on steering control during downhill driving.

What causes the squeaking sound when braking on snowy days?

Braking on snowy days causing a squeaking sound may be due to the following issues: 1. Rust on brake discs or pads: After prolonged parking or in humid or rainy weather, slight rust or dirt may form on the brake discs or pads. Applying butter or specialized lubricant at the connection between the brake pads and calipers can help. 2. Newly replaced brake pads: New brake pads and discs require a break-in period, and unusual noises when braking are normal during this phase. 3. Excessive wear on brake discs or pads: Both brake discs and pads are high-wear components. Each time you brake, friction between these parts causes wear, and excessive wear can lead to unusual noises. 4. Incorrect installation direction or mismatched model of brake pads: When installing brake pads, it is essential to have the work done at a professional auto repair shop.

How to Deal with Yellowing Car Headlight Covers?

Solutions for yellowing headlight covers: 1. Clean with soapy water: Directly wipe with soapy water for effective cleaning, but avoid using laundry detergent water as it is corrosive. After cleaning, apply polishing wax to enhance cleanliness. 2. Polishing: Use sandpaper dipped in water to gently sand off the aged layer of the headlight cover, then apply a layer of polishing compound, and finally spray a layer of clear oil for protection. However, not every area may be sanded clean, and there are certain limitations. 3. Directly replace the cover: If the yellowing is severe, go to an auto repair shop to replace the cover. Methods to maintain headlights: 1. Parking location: When parking, try to park in a place not directly exposed to sunlight, preferably in a shaded area. 2. Frequent cleaning: Regularly clean the headlights and wipe them often, but use a soft cloth and alkaline water.

Which gear should be used for automatic transmission when going down a long slope?

When going down a long slope with an automatic transmission, you should shift to the low-speed L gear, or switch to manual mode to downshift manually or use the sport S gear. The reasons why it is not recommended to use the D gear when going down a long slope are as follows: 1. When going downhill, the vehicle has acceleration, and the D gear will make the vehicle speed faster: When going downhill, if the component force along the slope direction is greater than the resistance, longitudinal acceleration will be generated. At this time, if the D gear is engaged, the vehicle speed will increase more rapidly. 2. Frequent braking is required to control the speed: When the vehicle speed is high, frequent braking is often required to reduce the speed. 3. Frequent braking can easily lead to brake failure: Frequent braking will cause the brakes to overheat, and when the brake pads reach excessively high temperatures, their braking ability will decrease, leading to ineffective braking. Therefore, when going down a long slope, shifting to a lower gear can reduce our safety risks.
