It is not always necessary to turn on the AC when defogging while driving in summer rain, because under normal circumstances, both the cold air and warm air in the car can help eliminate fog. The formation of fog is caused by moisture and temperature. After turning on the front windshield defogging function, it will gradually dry out, but this process takes a relatively long time. Correct usage of the car's A/C button: Automatic air conditioning: You need to set the temperature in advance, and then it will automatically turn the A/C switch on or off based on the light sensor and temperature sensor to maintain a constant temperature inside the car, ensuring comfort. Manual air conditioning: You need to manually adjust the air vent’s airflow and temperature, as well as manually press the A/C switch button. Generally, it is difficult to maintain a constant temperature inside the car, so frequent manual adjustments are required to ensure comfort.

What Causes Abnormal Engine Noise During Acceleration?

Abnormal engine noise during acceleration is caused by irregular engine speed conditions during operation. Below are the specific reasons for abnormal engine noise: 1. Noise occurs only at idle or low-speed operation: Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; Over-tight piston pin assembly or connecting rod bearing assembly; Excessive clearance between the tappet and its guide hole; Wear on the camshaft profile; Sometimes, a loose starter clutch causes pulley noise (noticeable during speed changes). 2. Noise becomes chaotic at a certain speed, with brief sounds emitted during rapid deceleration: Cracked camshaft timing gear or loose fixing nut; Broken crankshaft; Loose piston pin bushing; Excessive axial clearance of the camshaft or loose bushing. 3. Noise appears during rapid engine acceleration and persists at high-speed operation: Loose connecting rod bearings, melted or incorrectly sized bearing shells causing rotation; Loose crankshaft bearings or melted bearing shells; Broken piston pin; Broken crankshaft.

What is the actual 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Ford Focus?

According to official data, the Ford Focus with a 1.5T engine has a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9-11 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model has a maximum torque of 153 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds; the 2021 Ford Focus Hatchback EcoBoost180 Automatic ST-Line has a maximum torque of 243 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Ford Focus offers three types of transmissions: 6-speed manual, 8-speed manual-automatic, and 8-speed automatic. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 98Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds; the 2021 Ford Focus Sedan EcoBoost180 Automatic Fengchao model has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 126Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds.

Is it necessary for the passenger seat to fasten the seat belt?

The passenger seat must fasten the seat belt. Below are the specific details about not fastening the seat belt in the passenger seat of a motor vehicle: 1. Driving on highways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. 2. Driving on urban expressways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. 3. Vehicles traveling on highways: If passengers do not fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed. 4. Driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, but no points will be deducted. 5. Driving on urban roads with speed limits below 50 kilometers per hour: If passengers do not use the seat belt as required, an oral warning will be given.

What is the difference between a dual-clutch transmission and a tiptronic transmission?

Tiptronic is a manual + automatic transmission. Since it simulates the manual mode, it is equivalent to an AMT in manual mode; in simple terms, a dual-clutch transmission has two sets of clutches inside the transmission, which is a type of transmission between tiptronic and CVT. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Tiptronic transmission: The most important parts of a tiptronic transmission are the torque converter and planetary gears: the torque converter is responsible for transmitting power, while the planetary gears are responsible for shifting. The advantages of this transmission are ease of use, mature technology, stable structure, and the ability to transmit high torque. 2. Dual-clutch transmission: The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission is that one clutch is responsible for gears 1, 3, and 5, while the other is responsible for gears 2, 4, and 6. The shift time between the two sets of clutches is short, so the power output and shift gap are better than those of a tiptronic transmission. Therefore, the dual-clutch transmission can ensure almost uninterrupted torque output and the smoothness of the engine's power output, thereby achieving the goal of fuel efficiency.
