Haima is a domestic car brand. From the launch of its first model, the HX6380 hatchback in 1991, to the 'Familia II' in 2006, Haima introduced 17 series comprising 30 variants over 15 years. Among these, the 'Premacy' and 'Familia' series significantly improved the company's challenging situation. Haima Familia III: The Familia III measures 4535mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2615mm, making it larger than its predecessor with a 5mm increase in wheelbase. Under the hood, it features a 1.6L engine delivering a maximum power of 88.2kW (120 horsepower) and a peak torque of 158Nm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a CVT automatic. Standard features across the Familia III range include dual airbags, front and rear disc brakes, speed-sensitive auto-locking, adjustable overspeed warning system, and an engine immobilizer. Haima Premacy: The new-generation Premacy offers two powertrain options: a 1.6L VVT paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 1.8L engine mated to a CVT. The 1.6L variant utilizes Haima's latest self-developed VVT engine, while the 1.8L models come equipped with a 6-speed CVT transmission.

Let me tell you about Haima Automobile. It's now completely a domestic Chinese brand, but with an interesting history - back in the 1990s, it established a joint venture with Japan's Mazda called Hainan Mazda, producing many popular models. Around 2006, Haima bought out Mazda's shares and became a fully Chinese-controlled brand. Headquartered in Hainan, all its R&D and design are done domestically. Its SUV F-series like the Family models sell well, targeting the mid-to-low end market. I think this reflects the progress of China's auto industry - being able to produce good cars without relying on foreign technology. Although not as famous as Geely or Great Wall, it does well in localization with affordable maintenance, making it quite suitable for ordinary family use.

How to deal with the ABS light on in a car?

When the ABS light in a car is on, the recommended approach is to have the vehicle inspected and repaired at a service center promptly to ensure driving safety. Before taking the car to a 4S shop for repairs, it is advisable to avoid high-speed driving and sudden braking. Reasons for the ABS light being on include: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 10 kilometers per hour, no speed signal is transmitted to the ABS control unit; 2. When the vehicle speed is greater than 40 kilometers per hour, the speed signal exceeds the tolerance range; 3. There is an open circuit in the sensor or a short circuit to the positive or ground. ABS, the anti-lock braking system, is a technology developed by Robert Bosch GmbH for use in motorcycles and cars to prevent loss of control and increase braking distance, thereby improving vehicle safety.

What is the method for making a 90-degree turn?

The method for making a 90-degree turn is: 1. When approaching a 90-degree turn, try to keep the front of the car as close to the outer side as possible; 2. Align the right one-third of the car's front with the edge line on the right side—this distance is just right; 3. For a right turn, when the car body is 30 centimeters away from the road edge, it's the perfect moment; 4. Move forward while staying close to the outer side. When reaching the turning point, do not rush to turn to avoid getting stuck in very narrow road conditions. Always try to move forward as much as possible while driving straight. The ideal moment is when, from inside the car, the front covers the edge line ahead; 5. At this point, turn the steering wheel fully. Once the entire car body has completed the turn, straighten the wheels completely.

Is It Good to Step on the Gas Pedal Hard When Starting a Car?

Stepping on the gas pedal hard when starting a car can cause significant damage to the vehicle. Frequently accelerating aggressively from a standstill does more harm than good, especially to the car's engine and transmission. Here are the relevant details: 1. During rapid acceleration, the engine's RPM suddenly increases, causing the engine pistons to operate at high speeds. Theoretically, this also generates substantial impact on components such as the engine crankshaft and cylinder walls. 2. The transmission interacts with the engine, and its interior consists of various gears and components. During rapid acceleration, the sudden generation of high torque places greater pressure on parts like the steel belt gears and clutch. Friction between transmission components can easily produce fine metal shavings, leading to impurities in the engine oil. This is why new cars require an oil change during their first maintenance.

How to Turn Off a Mercedes-Benz Car?

There are four steps to turn off a Mercedes-Benz car: 1. Shift the gear to N (Neutral) and engage the electronic parking brake. 2. Continue to press the foot brake and shift the gear from N to P (Park). 3. Release the foot brake and press the one-touch start button. 4. The power turns off, completing the shutdown process. Before turning off a Mercedes-Benz car, pay attention to the following four points: 1. Ensure the vehicle is safely and steadily stopped before turning it off, and make sure the car won't slide before shifting the gear lever. 2. Straighten the steering wheel before turning off the car. A misaligned steering wheel keeps the car's steering system under stress, which can cause deviations in wheel alignment. 3. Choose an appropriate parking location before turning off the car. 4. Turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the car. If the air conditioning is left on when turning off the car, the car's power will surge when starting, affecting the startup process.

What does 10w-40 mean for engine oil?

10w-40 refers to the SAE standard viscosity value of the engine oil. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. The number after W represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100℃. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 2. The oil grade includes two parts: classification and viscosity specification. The oil grade usually indicates viscosity and quality. 3. W stands for winter. The smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after "W" (after the hyphen) is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance. The larger the number, the better the oil's protective performance at high temperatures.
