I'm a car enthusiast with in-depth knowledge of brands. Changan Ford is undoubtedly a joint venture, as it's an enterprise jointly established by China's Changan Automobile Group and America's Ford Motor Company, specializing in manufacturing and selling vehicles in China. I've personally test-driven their Edge SUV, and the handling was excellent, benefiting from Ford's technical inputs like chassis tuning and engine performance, while parts manufacturing is localized by Changan, blending Chinese and American characteristics. The advantage of joint venture cars is their moderate pricing and reliability; models like the Mondeo have high safety performance and are more durable than purely domestic cars. Domestic brands like Geely are improving, but joint ventures still lead in driving experience and resale value. I believe car selection depends on personal needs—joint ventures aren't perfect, but they offer high cost-performance in the domestic market. Overall, Changan Ford is a standard joint venture representative, combining international standards with Chinese manufacturing wisdom.

Can I drive without a driver's license now?

Currently, you cannot drive without a driver's license. The newly revised traffic regulations still stipulate that you must carry a driver's license when operating a motor vehicle. Below is relevant information about forgetting to bring a driver's license: 1. Use valid identification documents: Valid identification documents include ID cards, military officer certificates, passports, etc. These are also official documents in China and contain a lot of personal information. Therefore, if you forget to bring your driver's license but can provide these documents, the traffic police can check whether you have obtained a driver's license through the online system. 2. Alipay document folder function: The Alipay mobile app has a document folder function where you can input ID card information or driver's license information. Therefore, providing such electronic driver's license information is also a good way to prove your identity.

Is the Gasoline from Small Gas Stations Harmful to Cars?

What kind of gas station does this small gas station refer to? There is one type of small gas station that has legal procedures, and the oil comes from regular channels such as Sinopec or PetroChina; there is also another type of gas station that is said to come from gas stations, but the oil is "delivered to your door" through private cars, or you can refuel at some non-standard gas station locations. Of course, there are also some that are simply irregular gas stations. The former can be used, while the latter should be avoided as much as possible. It is best to refuel the car before the fuel light comes on. The following is a detailed explanation of the car's fuel light: 1. Remaining gasoline: Generally, when the fuel light turns yellow, there is still 1/10 of the gasoline left in the tank. The fuel tank capacity of an ordinary car is generally between 40-60L. The fuel tank capacity of an ordinary SUV is between 50-60L. According to the calculation of 1/10 of the remaining fuel in the car, when the fuel light comes on, a car has about 4-6L of gasoline left; an SUV has 5-6L of gasoline left. 2. Driving distance: Because driving habits are different and the road sections are also different, bad driving habits, long periods of idling, and parking will all increase fuel consumption. Conservatively estimated, if the fuel light has come on, you can generally drive about 30~50 kilometers.

How to Use Auto Hold Function Most Effectively?

When passing through multiple traffic light intersections, activating the auto hold function can save more fuel. Below are relevant details about auto hold: 1. Introduction: It refers to an automatic braking function. After enabling this function, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic handbrakes. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Working Principle: When the vehicle is temporarily stopped and needs to restart shortly thereafter, the parking function is handled by the ESP-controlled braking system. The computer uses a series of sensors to measure the vehicle's levelness and wheel torque, determining any tendency for the vehicle to roll. It then applies an appropriate braking force to the wheels to keep the vehicle stationary. This braking force is just enough to prevent the vehicle from moving without being too strong, ensuring that there is no severe lurch forward when pressing the accelerator again.

How to distinguish between the appearance of Accord and Civic?

Introduction to distinguishing the appearance of Accord and Civic: 1. Letters on the rear of the car: Civic is marked as 'civic', while Accord is marked as 'accord'. 2. Vehicle size: The Accord is noticeably larger than the Civic. The Civic is a compact car, whereas the Accord is a mid-size car. Below is a comparison between Honda Civic and Honda Accord: 1. Price: The reason the Civic is priced lower than the Accord is because the Civic is a compact car, also known as an A-segment car, while the Accord is a mid-size car, also referred to as a B-segment car. The Accord is positioned at a higher grade than the Civic, hence the slightly higher price. 2. Vehicle configuration: The Civic is equipped with 1.5 and 1.8 engines, which are quite good, providing sufficient power to meet people's needs with relatively low fuel consumption. It focuses more on the sense of speed, but the space is slightly smaller. The Accord, with its 2.0 and 2.3 engines, has a larger displacement, offering more abundant power than the Civic, and the entire vehicle is also larger than the Civic.

Will the Iveco timing belt damage the valves if it breaks?

If the Iveco timing belt breaks, it will damage the valves. If the timing belt breaks while the engine is running, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which is highly likely to cause the valves to collide with the pistons, resulting in severe damage. To avoid greater losses caused by a broken timing belt, it is essential to regularly inspect and maintain the timing belt. If cracks or fractures appear on the belt, it is best to replace it. Here is an introduction to what happens when a car's timing belt breaks: 1. If the timing belt breaks, the connection between the camshaft and the crankshaft is interrupted. At this point, the camshaft loses power, causing the valve group controlled by it to malfunction. Due to inertia, the pistons will bend the valve stems. If the engine speed is high, the pistons may also suffer from burn damage, and in severe cases, the engine may be completely ruined. 2. When the engine is under heavy load or experiences power surges, the belt is prone to skipping teeth, which may cause valve damage and harm the engine. The optimal belt tension is when it can be pressed down by 10mm and flipped 90 degrees. 3. The timing belt connects the crankshaft on one end and the camshaft on the other. The crankshaft is linked to the connecting rods and pistons, while the camshaft controls the timing of the valves' opening and closing.
