Car performance includes fuel economy, braking performance, and off-road capability. These are structural characteristics that determine the efficiency and convenience of a car's utilization. Fuel Economy: The fuel economy of a car is often measured by the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under certain operating conditions or the distance a car can travel with a certain amount of fuel. In China and Europe, the unit for car fuel economy is L/100km, which represents the liters of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers traveled. The lower this value, the better the fuel economy of the car, meaning the car is more fuel-efficient. Off-road Capability: Off-road capability refers to a vehicle's ability to navigate certain road conditions. A car with strong off-road capability can easily climb steep slopes, confidently drive into rivers of certain depths, and travel at high speeds on rough and uneven mountain roads. Braking Performance: The braking performance of a car is mainly evaluated based on three aspects: braking efficiency, resistance to heat fade, and directional stability during braking.

When I'm driving a car, performance to me means the actual performance of the vehicle. Acceleration capability is the most intuitive experience—stepping on the gas and the car quickly speeding up to overtake, especially on the highway, that sense of power is particularly exhilarating. Handling is also crucial, with responsive steering that doesn’t feel floaty, and stable cornering without skidding. Comfort includes suspension stiffness—long drives without excessive bumpiness make for a pleasant ride, and good noise control ensures easy conversation inside the cabin. Safety performance, like quick brake response, helps avoid skidding accidents. I also pay attention to fuel efficiency, as a fuel-saving car means fewer stops for gas on long trips. These aspects collectively determine the overall appeal of a car, and they should be key focus points during new car testing. Regular maintenance is equally important, such as timely oil changes to keep the engine running smoothly and prevent performance degradation.

Why do the EPC and engine indicator lights come on simultaneously?

epc and engine indicator lights come on simultaneously for the following reasons: 1. Sensor issues: The sensors mentioned here include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will cause the engine fault light to come on. 2. Maintenance issues: Poor engine maintenance is one of the causes of engine faults. We know that vehicles have a certain maintenance cycle. If the owner does not perform maintenance on schedule, coupled with poor driving habits, it will increase the burden on the engine operation, and ultimately, the fault light will come on to remind the owner of the need for maintenance. 3. Oil quality issues: The oil quality mentioned here includes fuel and engine oil. The fuel added to the car generally has a grade, and the engine oil is also divided into semi-synthetic and fully synthetic. The manufacturer usually recommends which grade of fuel and which type of engine oil the owner should use. If the owner does not add them as required, it will cause engine wear over time, and the lights will come on simultaneously. 4. Poor mixture combustion: Engine spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, fuel line blockage, etc., can all cause poor engine mixture combustion. Poor mixture combustion leads to engine carbon deposits or knocking problems, which will eventually be detected by the engine's oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, naturally triggering the warning light. 5. Intake issues: The engine needs air intake during combustion, and the air filter element is very important in this process. If the car's air filter element is not clean and is not cleaned regularly, it will affect the car's air intake. Over time, it is likely to become clogged, and in severe cases, it will cause the engine fault light to come on.

Where is the keyhole of the Tiida?

The keyhole of the Tiida is located on the driver's side door handle. Additionally, there is a slot the size of a smart key beneath the start button. In case the smart key runs out of battery, you can insert the entire smart key into the slot below the start button, press the brake pedal, and then press the start button to start the vehicle. The Tiida is a car produced by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company. Its exterior design incorporates more curved lines, making it rounder and more stylish. The triangular headlights and front grille give the front fascia a somewhat aggressive look, while the wavy waistline on the side adds tension and dynamism. The interior of the Tiida, much like its exterior, features many curved designs, making the overall cabin look more fashionable than the previous model, with a clear and easy-to-operate layout.

What Causes a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Malfunction?

Tire pressure monitoring system malfunctions may be caused by depleted battery power in the tire pressure sensors, sensor signal failures, sensor circuit issues, or faults in the body control module. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems use wheel speed sensors to compare the rotational speeds of tires to determine if tire pressure is abnormal. If the tire pressure monitoring system displays a fault, it's likely due to problems with the wheel speed sensors or poor internal connections. Methods for checking tire pressure monitoring: 1. While driving, the system automatically monitors and detects changes in tire pressure in real-time. It provides warnings for tire leaks, low pressure, or pressure increases due to rising ambient temperatures through audible alerts and special indicators on the dashboard; 2. Promptly stop to inspect or perform maintenance to ensure safety for both the driver and vehicle when on the road. Vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitoring will have indicator lights on the dashboard; 3. Sometimes, after replacing new tires, the indicator light may illuminate. Driving slowly for approximately 10 kilometers will usually cause it to automatically turn off.

Can I ride a motorcycle with a C1 driver's license but no motorcycle license?

Having a C1 driver's license without a motorcycle license does not allow you to ride a motorcycle. Permitted vehicle types for a C1 driver's license: A C1 driver's license only permits driving small cars, specifically small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles. Riding a motorcycle with a C1 license is considered out-of-scope driving: Motorcycle licenses should be E or D licenses. Riding a motorcycle with a C1 license is considered out-of-scope driving. Driver's license precautions: Drivers should operate motor vehicles according to the vehicle types specified on their driver's license; when driving a motor vehicle, they should carry their driver's license with them. No unit or individual other than the traffic management department of the public security organ may confiscate or detain a motor vehicle driver's license.

How Thick Are New Car Brake Pads?

New car brake pads are generally 1.5cm thick. Definition of Brake Pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The quality of all braking effects is decisively determined by the brake pads, which is why good brake pads are considered the guardian angels of both drivers and vehicles. Principle of Brake Pads: The working principle of braking mainly relies on friction. By utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc (or drum), as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy through friction, bringing the car to a stop. An efficient and well-functioning braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force. It should also have excellent hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities to ensure that the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal is fully and effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and individual wheel cylinders, while preventing hydraulic failure and brake fade caused by excessive heat.

Do You Need to Ignite the Engine to Turn on the Air Conditioning?

You need to ignite the engine to turn on the air conditioning. Principle of Car Air Conditioning: The air conditioning relies on the rotation of the compressor to cool, and the compressor's rotation is driven by the engine. Therefore, cold air is only produced when the engine is running after ignition. The vehicle air conditioning system, abbreviated as vehicle AC, is used to regulate and adjust the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle cabin to optimal conditions, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment and reducing travel fatigue. Air Conditioning Maintenance: Before driving in summer, ventilate to cool down the car first, then switch to the internal circulation. Avoid using the internal circulation for extended periods. Develop a good habit of turning off the air conditioning before shutting off the engine when parking.
