During normal road driving, it should be two-wheel drive, specifically rear-wheel drive, whereas for off-road conditions, four-wheel drive is selected. Introduction to Front-Wheel Drive: Front-wheel drive, also known as FWD, refers to a car design where the engine drives only the front pair of wheels. Most sedans are configured with front-wheel drive. Characteristics of Front-Wheel Drive: With the same displacement and horsepower, the lighter the car, the easier it is to accelerate, the shorter the braking distance, and the more fuel-efficient it is. The mechanical components of front-wheel drive are fewer and simpler compared to rear-wheel drive, which helps reduce weight. Additionally, because the weight of the engine and drive axle is loaded onto the front wheels, which are the driving wheels, it helps improve the car's traction, which is very advantageous on slippery roads.

What does autohold mean in a car and how to use it?

Autohold in a car refers to the automatic parking brake system. When you press this button while braking, it can prevent the car from sliding even on a slope. However, for proper use, you must fasten your seatbelt, firmly press the brake pedal after the car stops, and then you can lift your foot. The autohold parking system is an application technology that enables automatic handbrake functionality while the car is running. When the autohold function is activated, it allows the driver to avoid prolonged brake pedal pressing when stopping the car and prevents unnecessary sliding, making it particularly useful for uphill/downhill driving and frequent starts/stops. This system combines temporary braking during driving with long-term braking after parking, achieving parking brake functionality through electronic control.

What is the mantra for pressing the clutch pedal?

The mantra for pressing the clutch pedal: Keep your heel on the ground, release quickly at first, pause for a few seconds, then release slowly, with the upper part of your foot arch on the pedal; The semi-engagement point is not hard to find—when the vehicle shakes and the engine makes noise, press the pedal with the ball of your foot; Lifting the clutch should be flexible, as different vehicles may require different approaches; If the clutch is high, you can lift it quickly; if the clutch is low, lift it slowly; Remember to press the clutch all the way down every time you shift gears. The correct way to press the clutch is to use the ball of your left foot with the heel as the pivot point. First, press the clutch all the way down, engage the corresponding gear, lightly press the accelerator, and quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point. Once you feel the clutch is stable, you can fully release it.

What happens to civil air defense parking spaces after 20 years?

Civil air defense parking spaces can be rented again after the 20-year lease expires, as these spaces are only for lease and not for sale. The contract specifies the term of use, typically allowing the lease of civil air defense parking spaces for only twenty years. After expiration, the property management will reclaim the space and lease it again. If there is no war or national requisition, the space can continue to be used. Regions where local legislation grants ownership of civil air defense parking spaces to developers and allows for the issuance of property certificates include: Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xiamen, and Zhangzhou. Areas where civil air defense parking spaces cannot be sold but only leased include: Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province, and Jiangxi Province. Therefore, the rights and permissions regarding civil air defense parking spaces should be determined based on local regulations.

How Often Should the Engine Be Cleaned?

Engine cleaning is recommended every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. The lubrication system cleaning service at 4S shops typically involves adding a cleaning agent through the engine oil filler port before an oil change, keeping the engine running for 5 to 10 minutes, and then draining it along with the old oil. During engine operation, the high-temperature working environment and the wear from relative movements and friction surfaces can affect the performance and quality of the engine oil. When the oil's performance and quality degrade, its ability to clean the engine oil passages also decreases, leading to sludge buildup in the lubrication system. In severe cases, this can even clog the oil passages. Therefore, the engine lubrication system requires regular cleaning.
