Stage 1 ECU tuning has the following effects on a car: After ECU tuning, the vehicle will require higher quality gasoline. Using low-quality gasoline may damage the vehicle. It also increases temperature requirements. Here's additional information: Warranty voidance: After ECU tuning, the engine operates at overclocked frequencies, which may affect engine lifespan without an excellent cooling system. Dealerships may refuse warranty claims. Vehicles with modified ECUs may be denied warranty coverage by dealerships. Principle of ECU tuning: A car engine's operation is controlled by the vehicle's computer (ECU). The ECU regulates intake air volume, fuel injection quantity, ignition timing, etc., thereby determining engine efficiency, power, and torque. The database recording corresponding parameters like intake air volume, fuel injection quantity, and ignition timing under various operating conditions (RPM, gear, load, temperature) is called the "M.A.P." and is stored in the ECU.

What are the consequences of forgetting to turn off the retarder?

If the differential lock is not turned off, it will affect the rotation speed of the wheels on both sides, making them completely similar. Here is the relevant information: 1. Retarder: It is an auxiliary braking device for large vehicles (trucks, buses), allowing heavier vehicles to decelerate smoothly without consuming the braking system. Small cars do not have this feature. 2. Electromagnetic retarder: It is equivalent to installing a "generator" on the drive shaft. When not powered, there is no contact or wear. When deceleration is needed, the driver turns on the switch on the dashboard, and the drive shaft is subjected to the resistance of the electromagnetic field, achieving a braking effect. It automatically cuts off power when the accelerator is pressed again. The advantage is no wear, but the disadvantage is its bulky structure. 3. Hydraulic turbine retarder: A turbine chamber is added at the rear end of the transmission housing. When the braking circuit is activated, the transmission oil is pressurized in the turbine to create damping and achieve a braking effect. There is no wear, but additional cooling is required. This type is rare in China.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Soueast DX7 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Soueast DX7 is 55 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Soueast DX7 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Soueast DX7 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.9 to 7.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 696 to 797 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What is the distance for the three-wheeled vehicle slalom test?

For ordinary and light two-wheeled motorcycles, the distance is the vehicle length plus 50 centimeters; for regular three-wheeled motorcycles, it is the vehicle length plus 40 centimeters; for sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles, it is the vehicle length plus 80 centimeters; the finish line is 3 times the vehicle length from the last pole. The general requirements are: navigating through 5 poles in an S-shape with a spacing of 2.5 meters, with white lines on both sides extending over 1 meter. Failing criteria include crossing the line, hitting a pole, or stalling. After completing the slalom, the driver must circle back and navigate through the poles again. Additional information: Three-wheeled motorcycle license: The license for three-wheeled motorcycles is a Class D license, which covers the vehicle types included in Class E and Class F licenses. Two-wheeled motorcycles require a Class E license, so a Class D license allows the holder to operate ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Permitted vehicle types and their codes: Ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle (D) – Engine displacement greater than 50ml or maximum design speed greater than 50km/h. Ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle (E) – Engine displacement greater than 50ml or maximum design speed greater than 50km/h. Light motorcycle (F) – Engine displacement less than or equal to 50ml and maximum design speed less than or equal to 50km/h.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Lamando 280?

The Lamando currently has 3 models on sale. Among them, the Lamando 2021 Facelift 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition and the Lamando 2021 280TSI DSG Luxury Phantom Edition, both equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100km. The Lamando 2021 230TSI DSG Style Edition, equipped with a 131-horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100km. All Lamando models have the same fuel tank capacity. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: The Lamando 2021 Facelift 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition and the Lamando 2021 280TSI DSG Luxury Phantom Edition, both equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, have a fuel tank capacity of 51L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.6*100=911km. The Lamando 2021 230TSI DSG Style Edition, equipped with a 131-horsepower engine, also has a fuel tank capacity of 51L. The distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.4*100=944km. Automobile fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before encountering a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during cold starts, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine control unit will command higher RPMs to warm up the engine, which also increases fuel consumption.

Can traffic violation records from three years ago be checked?

Yes, as long as the violation records have been processed, they can still be checked, but will be marked as 'processed'. There is a certain process and time required from when a violation is captured to when it is confirmed and posted online (on the traffic police violation processing platform), usually taking 3-5 days. Not all violations can be confirmed and uploaded immediately. Due to differences in violation location, violation behavior, and penalty methods, the date of confirmation and upload may vary. Below are common traffic violations: Running a red light: Running a red light is the most common violation. Since the new traffic regulations were introduced, running a red light results in a deduction of 6 points at once; Driving without a license: For drivers who continue to drive while their license is suspended, a fine and 15 days of detention will be imposed. For those driving without a license or with a revoked license, 15 days of detention and a fine will be imposed; Overloading or overcapacity: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by 20% or more or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by 30% or more, a fine will be imposed; Drunk driving: For driving under the influence of alcohol, a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine will be imposed. For driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol, a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine will be imposed; Speeding: For driving over the speed limit by 50% or more, a fine and revocation of the driver's license will be imposed.
