Speaking of the Ford Escort, I bought this car back in 2018, and it has been running quite well up to now. It is indeed a joint-venture vehicle, a brand co-developed by Changan and Ford, with technology sourced from Ford but manufactured domestically, which allows for excellent cost control. The advantage of joint-venture cars is their affordable pricing without sacrificing quality. For my daily commute, the fuel consumption is low, and maintenance is straightforward—just find a roadside shop to get it fixed, unlike imported cars that can be outrageously expensive. Back then, I chose it mainly for the reliability brought by its joint-venture background. It drives steadily, has ample space, and is no problem for family outings. As a long-standing joint-venture partner, Changan Ford has a well-established parts supply chain, so you won’t face stock-out issues. If you’re on a budget but want a reliable daily driver, the Ford Escort is definitely worth considering—the joint-venture model is an art of balancing performance and cost.

Will the car battery die if the door is left open for 12 hours?

Leaving the car door open for 12 hours may not necessarily drain the battery, but it will cause the battery to lose power, and prolonged periods can damage the battery. How to reduce car battery usage: Turn off the headlights and interior reading lights before turning off the engine to prevent battery drain. The air conditioning system involves the compressor, blower, and audio system, which are high-power electrical devices. Not turning them off before shutting down the engine will place a heavy burden on the battery and cause damage. The switches for car windows and sunroofs are powered by the battery, so they should be closed when the vehicle is not in use. Car battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.

Can 92 and 95 Gasoline Be Mixed for Motorcycles?

Motorcycle 92 and 95 gasoline cannot be mixed. Below is relevant information about refueling motorcycles: Reasons why gasoline cannot be mixed: Long-term mixing can cause issues such as knocking and insufficient power, especially for motorcycles that require 95 gasoline. Using 92 gasoline for an extended period will increase the frequency of knocking and accelerate engine wear. Therefore, refueling according to the engine's compression ratio or the requirements in the vehicle's manual is more scientific and economical, allowing the engine to perform at its best. The gasoline octane rating represents the octane number of the gasoline. For example, 92 gasoline has an octane number of 92 and a heptane number of 8. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties and heptane has poorer anti-knock properties, a higher octane rating indicates better anti-knock performance of the gasoline. Methods for selecting motorcycle gasoline: The choice of gasoline octane rating for motorcycles mainly depends on the engine's compression ratio. Generally, engines with a compression ratio below 9.5:1 are suitable for 92 gasoline, engines with a compression ratio between 9.5:1 and 10.0:1 are suitable for 95 or 92 gasoline, and engines with a compression ratio above 10.0:1 are suitable for 95 or 98 gasoline.

Should You Turn Off the Turn Signal After Pulling Over?

You should turn off the turn signal after successfully pulling over. Upon hearing the instruction to pull over, the first response should be to activate the right turn signal, then identify a suitable parking spot ahead to the right, check the rearview mirror to assess if parking conditions are safe, and preferably reduce speed and shift down to facilitate the maneuver. Precautions for pulling over: Do not stop in areas with no-parking signs or markings, intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4m wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 50m of such locations. Do not open the car door or allow passengers to enter/exit before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Opening the door should not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Turn off all electrical devices before shutting off the engine to avoid draining the battery due to prolonged use. Generally, if the steering wheel is turned more than half a turn after activating the turn signal, the signal will automatically turn off once the wheel is straightened. However, if the turn signal does not turn off automatically after stopping, do not adjust it further, as this may lead a strict safety officer to deem it as "incorrect use of the turn signal before pulling over." First, unfasten the seatbelt, then check for approaching vehicles from behind. Because the moment you check for approaching vehicles is when you are about to exit the car, if you check first and then unfasten the seatbelt, traffic conditions may change unpredictably during the brief moment of unfastening. Additionally, after confirming the traffic situation behind, first open the door slightly (about 10cm), glance to the left rear once more, and only after confirming it is safe to exit, open the door fully and step out. Avoid opening the door fully in one motion.
