When parking on a slope, it is necessary to fully depress the clutch. After depressing the clutch, the brake pedal should also be fully depressed to prevent the vehicle from rolling. More detailed information is as follows: 1. If the clutch is not fully depressed after parking, the engine will stall. The clutch is a crucial component in the transmission system, connecting or disconnecting the engine from the gearbox. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch disengages; when the clutch pedal is released, the clutch engages. When driving a manual transmission vehicle, the clutch is used every time you start or shift gears. 2. During normal driving, if the clutch is not needed, do not keep your left foot on the clutch pedal. This will accelerate the wear of the release bearing and may also cause the clutch disc to slip. If the clutch disc slips, it will increase the wear rate of the clutch disc. 3. When parking, initially do not depress the clutch pedal. First, depress the brake pedal. When the vehicle is about to stop, the clutch pedal should be depressed. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift into neutral, release the clutch pedal, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake. When parking on a slope, it is essential to fully depress the brake pedal and also engage the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling.

What is the function of engine sensors?

Engine sensors have the following functions: 1. Air flow sensor: Measures the amount of air entering the engine and is installed on the air bypass channel; 2. Intake pressure sensor: Detects changes in the negative pressure of the intake manifold to determine the engine's air intake volume; 3. Engine speed and camshaft position sensor: Used to measure engine speed and confirm the crankshaft position signal; 4. Throttle position sensor: Includes a linear throttle potentiometer and an idle switch. The former provides the ECU with data to control fuel injection volume and ignition timing, while the latter informs the ECU when the throttle is in the idle state; 5. Coolant temperature sensor: Measures the temperature of the engine coolant; 6. Intake temperature sensor: During engine operation, the mass of air entering the engine is related to the intake temperature and atmospheric pressure. When the intake temperature is low, the air density is higher, resulting in a greater mass for the same volume of gas. Conversely, when the intake temperature is high, the mass of the same volume of gas is smaller; 7. Knock sensor: Detects whether the engine has a knocking phenomenon; 8. Oxygen sensor: Measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gas; 9. Vehicle speed sensor: Measures the vehicle's driving speed.

What type of spark plugs does the Geely Binrui use?

Geely Binrui uses Bosch (BOSCH) specialized iridium spark plugs. Under high voltage, the air between the spark plug's center electrode and side electrode rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties and forming a discharge channel, resulting in a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas forms a luminous body, known as a "spark." Along with the heat expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach 2000–3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder's combustion chamber. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic engine cover, remove the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order and secure the cover.

What are the disadvantages of using winter tires in summer?

The disadvantages of using winter tires in summer include increased tire noise. Winter tires have many asymmetrical and directional tread patterns, along with a high number of grooves. When driving at high speeds, the rapid impact of air against the tread patterns and grooves leads to a significant increase in tire noise, negatively affecting the driving experience. Additionally, using winter tires in summer results in higher fuel consumption and reduced power. To enhance traction on snow, winter tires are typically softer than regular tires (even in low temperatures) and often feature asymmetrical cross-Z-shaped sipes. Driving with such tires on normal summer roads inevitably increases vehicle fuel consumption and reduces power.

What to Do When the Service Light Indicates an Engine Fault?

When the engine fault warning light comes on, it is essential to turn off the engine and check whether the engine oil is low. Verify if the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks. If the oil level is normal, seek a professional mechanic to inspect and determine the cause of the light activation. Below is a partial introduction about car fault lights: 1. Indicator Lights: There are many indicator lights in a car, such as the engine self-check light, oil pressure light, handbrake light, and coolant temperature light, each representing different meanings. 2. Solution: If an issue arises, promptly visit a 4S shop for vehicle inspection and repair to mitigate risks and ensure personal safety on the road.

Can a vehicle be inspected without the owner's ID card?

Vehicle inspection can be conducted without the owner's ID card. During the inspection, you only need to provide the vehicle license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption proof, and motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate. Below are relevant details: 1. Registration three months in advance: According to Article 49 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", the owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection mark at the vehicle management office of the registration place within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. 2. Traffic violations must be settled before application: Before applying, the owner of the motor vehicle must settle all traffic safety violations and accidents related to the vehicle.
