When going uphill, since more power is needed compared to driving on flat ground, the clutch should be released a bit more than on flat ground. Release it slightly more and avoid pressing it too tightly. Here are some additional details: Clutch release when climbing: Gradually release the clutch to the semi-engagement point until the car starts to vibrate, then release a bit more until the car begins to move forward, indicating proper semi-engagement. If the clutch is pressed too tightly while going uphill, although the car will still climb, the speed will be very slow. If the clutch is accidentally pressed too much, the car will lose power, and since the speed is already slow, it may stop immediately or even roll backward. Mastering clutch release: When going uphill, it's best not to fully release the clutch, but also avoid pressing it as tightly as on flat ground. The purpose of pressing the clutch is to control speed. If your reaction time is quick enough, you can increase the speed slightly.

How to check the oil dipstick on the Leiling?

To check the oil dipstick on the Leiling, first pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean with a paper or cloth, then reinsert it and pull it out again. The oil mark on the top of the dipstick indicates the oil level. Below are the effects of oil quantity: 1. Effects of insufficient oil: When the oil level is below the minimum mark, you should quickly go to a 4S shop or add oil yourself. However, be careful not to drive aggressively, as the engine will run at high speed, causing the temperature to rise significantly. With insufficient oil, if it runs out completely, it can easily lead to engine overheating, and in severe cases, the engine may even be completely damaged. 2. Effects of excessive oil: Too much oil is also problematic, as the excess oil can easily enter the combustion chamber (due to excessive internal pressure), leading to the formation of sticky carbon deposits.
