In reality, parallel parking is more challenging. The techniques for parallel parking are as follows: 1. Assess the length of the parking space: Before parallel parking, first determine whether the space can accommodate your vehicle. Generally, if your car's length plus about one meter of space is available, you can perform parallel parking. 2. Turn the steering wheel to the right until the left rearview mirror: Keep the steering wheel turned fully to the right and slowly reverse until you can safely see the front of the car behind you in the left rearview mirror. Then, quickly turn the steering wheel from the far right to the far left and continue reversing. 3. Adjust the reversing path to get as close to the curb as possible: Using the adjusted right rearview mirror, pay attention to the distance between the right rear wheel and the curb. Adjust the reversing path to get as close to the curb as possible while maintaining enough distance to straighten the car. The distance between the wheel and the curb must be verified visually in the rearview mirror, not guessed by feel.

SPORT mode, also known as the power mode, where the car's power performance is prioritized, ensuring the vehicle's power is adequate; 2. ECO mode, also known as the economy or energy-saving mode, where the car's fuel economy is good and fuel consumption is low, but the vehicle's power is correspondingly reduced.

How many kilometers should the Accord air filter be replaced?

According to the car's maintenance manual, the air filter of the Accord should generally be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers or every other maintenance interval. However, it is recommended to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers to reduce the formation of throttle sludge. The position of the car's air filter element is determined by the intake form and the structure of the engine. It is usually located in the air filter on the engine intake pipe. There are two types of air filters in cars: dry and wet. The dry type is made of paper or organic materials, while the wet type is made of metal wire mesh. The function of the air filter: to filter out particulate impurities in the air, ensuring that enough clean air enters the cylinder, preventing floating dust in the air from being sucked into the engine, which accelerates the wear of the piston group and the cylinder. Air filter: It is a type of filter, also called an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or style. It is mainly used in engineering vehicles, cars, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operating rooms as an air filter. During operation, the engine needs to suck in a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, the suspended dust in the air will be sucked into the cylinder, accelerating the wear of the piston group and the cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and the cylinder can cause severe cylinder scoring, which is particularly serious in dry and sandy working environments. The air cleaner is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe to filter out dust and sand particles in the air, ensuring that enough clean air enters the cylinder. Using a dirty air filter while driving will cause insufficient engine intake, incomplete fuel combustion, leading to unstable engine operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, the car must keep the air filter clean. The car air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air, consisting of one or several clean air filter components. Its main function is to filter out harmful impurities in the air that is about to enter the cylinder, to reduce early wear of the cylinder, piston, piston ring, valve, and valve seat. Therefore, before the air enters the cylinder, it must first pass through the fine filtration of the air filter. A dirty air filter can cause poor engine performance, excessive fuel consumption, and engine damage. When checking the air filter, if you find that there is less dust and the blockage is light, you can use high-pressure air to blow it clean from the inside out and continue to use it. A dirty air filter should be replaced in time.

For new cars, you can find the information in the vehicle's factory certificate, but generally, the certificate is kept at the vehicle management office. It is recommended to make a copy when buying a new car; 4. Make a rough distinction based on the year the car was registered. Most cars registered after 2008 are National IV, while cars registered in 2007 may be National III or National IV.

Ignition system failure, such as issues with spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils, can lead to poor ignition system performance, triggering the engine malfunction light and causing the vehicle to shake; 2. Overly rich air-fuel mixture in the cylinders can result in symptoms like knocking and shaking; 3. Abnormal fuel supply pressure, often due to a malfunctioning fuel pump, can also cause the car to shake; 4. Faulty idle control valve or its control circuit. If the engine malfunction light flashes and the car shakes, it is recommended to stop immediately for safety and avoid further driving.
