Is pressing the clutch fully and applying some brake during downhill in Subject 2 considered coasting in neutral?

No. Pressing the clutch while braking is equally problematic. Especially when going downhill, you should never brake in neutral or with the clutch pressed, as this can easily lead to loss of control and accidents. Coasting in neutral refers to: during vehicle operation, the driver shifts the gear lever to the neutral position, disengaging the clutch between the engine and drive wheels, allowing the vehicle to move by inertia. Coasting in neutral must be performed under conditions where safety is ensured and the vehicle's technical condition is normal. Engine-off coasting is prohibited, particularly when descending steep or long slopes - neither engine-off nor neutral coasting is allowed. Traditional carburetor vehicles might save fuel by coasting in neutral, but this only becomes effective at very low RPMs, as their fuel injection is mechanically controlled. The so-called idle speed is equivalent to pre-pressing the throttle slightly. After disengaging the drivetrain in neutral, only fixed idle fuel consumption remains. Without disengagement, additional throttle might be needed; otherwise, incoordination between speed and gear could cause engine stalling due to shaking.

What is the optimal RPM for shifting gears in a car?

Shifting gears is generally recommended between 1500-2500 RPM. If fuel economy is the priority, shifting around 1500-1800 RPM is advisable, with lower gears appropriately increased to around 2000 RPM. During the break-in period, it's best to lower the shifting RPM. For better performance, shifting around 2000-2500 RPM is preferable. Key considerations include: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral: Always engage the handbrake and shift to P before turning off the engine. Whether in low gear, manual mode, or sport mode, it's usually unnecessary to intervene; simply using the D gear during normal driving is sufficient. 2. Aim for smooth starts in manual transmission cars: Properly control the clutch and throttle during starts. Lift the clutch halfway (when you faintly feel the car vibrate), then lightly press the throttle. Simultaneously release the handbrake or brake, and gradually lift the clutch. After the car starts moving slowly, drive for a while before shifting to second gear, remembering to press the clutch quickly and release it slowly.

In which year were China III vehicles produced?

China III vehicles were produced between 2007 and 2010. Below is relevant information about the China III emission standards: 1. Introduction: The China III emission standard is equivalent to the European Euro III emission standard, with tailpipe pollutant levels matching Euro III requirements. The key difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system. 2. Key points: To stably meet the China III vehicle emission standards, vehicles must be equipped with technical measures that ensure pollutant emissions comply with China III standards, while also using fuel that meets Euro III specifications. 3. About OBD: OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics system. This system features increased monitoring points and enhanced detection capabilities, including oxygen sensors at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter. It ensures compliance through real-time monitoring of vehicle emissions, providing stronger enforcement of Euro III emission standards.

How to Lock the Car Door Without a Remote Key?

The keyless locking method involves closing the car door and touching the sensor area on the outside of the door. The turn signal will flash once, indicating that the vehicle is locked. Below are some related details about locking the car: 1. Keyless Locking Function: The keyless entry system also includes an anti-theft alert feature. If the system detects that a door is not properly closed after the anti-theft alert is activated, it will issue a warning signal: the electronic horn sounds 8 times, and the turn signals flash 8 times. If the door remains unclosed after 5 seconds, the fuel and ignition circuits will automatically disconnect, effectively preventing the door from being left unlocked. 2. System Status: When the driver moves a certain distance away from the vehicle, the door locks will automatically engage, and the vehicle will enter anti-theft mode. At this point, the vehicle will remind the owner that it is locked through actions such as flashing the parking lights, honking the horn, and automatically folding the side mirrors. If the vehicle has smartphone connectivity, the owner can check the vehicle's status via the relevant app.

What types of vehicle insurance need to be purchased?

New vehicles require the following insurance policies: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: It is a mandatory insurance that must be purchased for motor vehicles. The insurance company compensates for personal injury, death, and property damage caused to victims (excluding passengers in the insured vehicle) in road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Simply put, it is a 'compulsory third-party liability insurance'. This insurance cannot be casually lapsed, as doing so would be illegal. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Abbreviated as 'TPL', it refers to compensation provided by the insurance company when the insured or their permitted qualified driver causes accidental harm to a third party, resulting in personal injury, death, or direct property damage during vehicle use. The compensation limit for TPL is chosen by the insured, typically ranging from 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 200,000, 300,000, 500,000 to 1,000,000, mainly supplementing the shortcomings of the compulsory insurance. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This insurance covers the loss of the insured vehicle due to natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of insurance liability. The insurer compensates according to the provisions of the insurance contract, which is the opposite of third-party liability insurance.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Haval F7x in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Haval F7x is 55 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Haval F7x can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Haval F7x uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.6 to 7.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 705 to 833 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is additional space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
