I've been driving an old Santa Fe V6 for almost eight years and found its engine generally reliable and durable. It starts and accelerates smoothly, especially with good power when climbing hills, and remains stable at high speeds. However, there are downsides: the fuel consumption is relatively high, averaging around 12 liters per 100 km in the city, so fuel costs need to be calculated carefully. Common minor issues include spark plugs wearing out easily or rubber hoses aging and leaking oil, which requires frequent checks. Maintenance isn’t expensive, and parts are readily available at repair shops—just make sure to change the oil and filters on time, and it should run fine. Compared to newer models, the technology is outdated, and it’s a bit noisier, but it won’t break down easily, making it suitable for budget-conscious families. If buying used, check the maintenance records to ensure no major repairs. Overall, it’s decent for average users—don’t expect perfection, but it’s practical.

What Does Brake Irregularity Mean?

During the examination process, students often feel nervous and sometimes rush to press the brake pedal when decelerating, resulting in rapid speed reduction or vehicle jerking, which can lead to point deductions. Below is an introduction related to braking: 1. Concept: The braking system is a series of specialized devices in a car that apply a certain force (mainly from the road surface) to specific parts of the car (mainly the wheels), thereby enforcing a certain degree of braking. 2. Function: It enables a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver. It also ensures that a parked car remains stable under various road conditions and maintains a stable speed for cars going downhill.

Why is the reversing radar not displaying?

Reasons and solutions for the reversing radar not displaying: 1. Wiring issues. Check the connection points between the reversing radar wiring and the vehicle's installation for any loose connections, as poor contact can cause the reversing radar to intermittently work. 2. Radar sensor failure. Inspect the reversing radar sensors, as faults can sometimes occur due to car washing or high-pressure water jet cleaning (also check if the internal wiring is secure). 3. Radar hardware failure. The reversing radar itself may have inherent defects or damage, or there could be loose wiring. It is recommended to visit a professional repair shop for inspection.

What is the Principle of Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission works by using shift forks to change the gear ratio of meshing gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different operating conditions. The following are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Different operation difficulty: Manual transmission mainly relies on the driver stepping on the clutch to complete the gear shifting operation; Automatic transmission mainly relies on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to complete the gear shifting action. 2. Different safety: The neutral gear of a manual transmission car causes the car to lose power, posing a safety hazard during driving; Automatic transmission cars cannot use neutral gear for driving, making this driving method safer.
