The GAC Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a joint venture car. In terms of the interior, the Eclipse Cross breaks away from the mediocre design style typical of Mitsubishi models. The new-style four-spoke multifunction steering wheel features a glossy black material combined with leather wrapping. The center console is equipped with a floating touchscreen, below which lies the control area for the air conditioning and multimedia system, designed with a protruding shape. It includes a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system with independent screens and USB ports. As an important global strategic model in Mitsubishi's DRIVEFORGROWTH long-term plan, the Eclipse Cross adopts the brand's family-style Dynamic Shield design language. The front fascia of the Eclipse Cross is highly distinctive, featuring a body-colored bumper and a large chrome grille, paired with LED headlights that integrate high and low beams, consistent with the design seen in the Outlander.

What tire models are used for the Dongfeng Peugeot 408?

Dongfeng Peugeot 408's 1.6L version uses tire model 215/55/R16, while the 2.0L version uses 215/50/R17. The original tires are from Goodyear. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, founded in 1898 and headquartered in Akron, Ohio, USA, is one of the world's largest tire manufacturers. It introduced pneumatic tires in 1899 and patented tubeless tires in 1903. In 1909, it launched pneumatic tires for aircraft and trucks, followed by the Goodyear "Airship" four years later. For the Dongfeng Peugeot 408's tires, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.

How Long After Passing Subject 1 Can You Take Subject 2?

You can schedule the Subject 2 test online 10 days after passing Subject 1. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the registration requirements for Subject 2 include completing 26 training hours: 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, 3 hours of simulated driving, and 21 hours of practical driving. For a C1 driver's license, you can schedule the Subject 2 test online 10 days after passing Subject 1. Each Subject 2 test appointment includes two attempts. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it once for free. If you do not take the retest or fail the retest, the current test session ends, and you can reschedule the Subject 2 test after 10 days. Within the validity period of the driver's license learning, the number of Subject 2 test appointments must not exceed five. If you fail the fifth attempt, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated. To continue learning for the driver's license, you must restart from Subject 1. Subject 2 test content includes: completing specified driving tasks within a designated area; demonstrating mastery of vehicle driving skills; and assessing the ability to judge the vehicle's spatial position. Subject 2, also known as the "small road test," consists of five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves. Subject 2 test precautions: After getting into the car, adjust the seat and mirrors to a suitable position and state, and always fasten your seatbelt. For parallel parking, find the correct angle, turn the steering wheel quickly, react promptly, and coordinate with the vehicle's speed. For stopping on a slope, remember to engage the handbrake, signal left when starting, release the handbrake, and control the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to avoid stalling or rolling back. For turning at a right angle, identify the turning point quickly and react accordingly, coordinating with the vehicle's speed to prevent deviation. For driving through curves (S-turns), slow down and proceed cautiously. Those with good driving skills may pass smoothly in one go. For reversing into a parking space, control the speed, identify reference points, and make minor adjustments if the rearview mirror shows misalignment. The driver's license test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 has two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official terminology (under the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in Dongfeng Peugeot Vehicles?

There are primarily 7 reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate: Sensor malfunction: The sensors referred to here include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or their signals are interrupted, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Fuel quality issues: If fuel or engine oil is not added as required by the manufacturer, it may cause engine wear, leading to the warning light turning on. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump failures, or clogged fuel lines can all cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharger problems: The intake turbo piping or the turbocharger itself can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If there's an issue with the vehicle's air intake, it may lead to blocked engine pipes, and in severe cases, trigger the engine warning light. A dirty air filter that hasn't been cleaned regularly can cause intake problems. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system failures can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Common causes include faults in the rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearings, with the catalytic converter being the most frequent issue. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or faults in the engine's fuel supply system can easily lead to catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions, or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally, and the engine warning light will illuminate. If the engine warning light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, and look for symptoms like shaking or black smoke. If present, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off and wait 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light turns off. If the warning light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.

What causes the ABS light to illuminate in a Dongfeng Peugeot?

ABS light illumination can occur in various states, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light remains constantly illuminated (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thereby failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the contaminants from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay can lead to signal issues and system malfunction. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light illuminates intermittently but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical components are in use, the battery voltage may drop below 10.5V. As engine speed increases, voltage rises, causing the ABS light to turn off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check battery specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine power supply components (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains illuminated after engine start until engine IGFF turns it off. Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor electrical connector contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and retighten the hydraulic valve body ground screw, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged connector gaps; replace ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects excessive difference between rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's specified tire and wheel rim dimensions, typically found on the label near the fuel filler cap. State 5: ABS warning light illuminates intermittently. Cause: Improper adjustment of brake light switch; poor internal contact in brake lights. Solution: With engine running, depress brake pedal, manually push the brake switch linkage fully downward, then release the pedal to complete self-setting; replace brake light switch if necessary. When the ABS warning light is illuminated, it is recommended not to continue driving as it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from decelerating or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
