Precautions for the break-in period of an automatic transmission new car are: 1. Maintain smooth starts, avoid sudden acceleration, and do not let the engine speed become too high; 2. Before starting, the water temperature should reach above 50 degrees Celsius; 3. Start in a low gear, shift to a higher gear after 1 kilometer, and keep the water temperature between 80 and 90 degrees Celsius while driving; 4. Choose good road conditions to avoid excessive vibration, impact, or emergency braking. Before braking, disengage the clutch first; 5. Use high-quality fuel and engine oil, and avoid using engine wear-resistant additives. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the second position (power mode), wait for the system self-check to complete; 2. Shift the gear lever from P to N; 3. Release the brake and start the car's engine; 4. Press the brake pedal with your foot, shift the gear lever from N to D, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start.

What is the fuel tank capacity of Citroen C2 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Chevrolet C2 is 50L, as per official data. The Chevrolet C2 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.4-7.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 704-781km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What Does the Choke on a Motorcycle Mean?

The choke on a motorcycle enriches the air-fuel mixture, making it easier to start the engine when cold. Explanation of the Choke: The choke is a unique device in carburetor-type gasoline engines that adjusts the air-fuel mixture concentration to facilitate starting. Under normal circumstances, it should remain in the open position. Since changes in mixture concentration are closely related to the engine's load variations under different operating conditions, a simple carburetor cannot adequately meet these dynamic requirements. As a result, additional devices have been continuously added to simple carburetors to adjust their working state. Construction of the Choke: There are two types of choke mechanisms. One is the automatic electric choke. Before starting an engine equipped with this type of choke, pressing the throttle pedal once will automatically close the choke. Then, turning on the ignition switch makes starting easier. Since it is controlled by an electric heating element, the choke will automatically open after a few minutes of power supply. The entire process requires no driver intervention, hence it is called an automatic choke. The other type is the manual choke, where the driver manually controls a cable to directly adjust the choke's opening size to accommodate various changes in mixture concentration. Manual chokes are more intuitive and stable to control, requiring no adjustments—only the driver's feel for the cable's pull length to regulate the mixture concentration. However, some drivers may not be familiar with this mechanism.

What does the speed rating of a tire mean?

The speed rating of a tire refers to the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Currently, most tires are rated between S and Y, which means they are designed for speeds ranging from 180 kilometers per hour to 300 kilometers per hour. The maintenance methods for tires include: 1. Regularly clean out stones stuck in the tire treads; 2. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Check tire pressure promptly; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Perform regular front-wheel alignment checks; 6. Adopt careful driving habits by choosing smooth road surfaces, avoiding objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, and steering clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires.
