Car making a squeaking noise when starting but not firing up is due to: 1. The car is out of fuel. If the fuel gauge shows below the red line, it indicates no fuel and the owner needs to refuel the car, naturally it won't start; 2. Incorrect gear position. For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P or N position when starting. If it's in R or D position, the car won't start. For manual transmission cars, not pressing the clutch will also prevent starting; 3. Dead battery, caused by leaving headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan; 4. Installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, DVD players, etc., can also cause vehicle circuit failures; 5. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils.

How to Properly Use ECO Mode?

Correct methods for using ECO mode: ECO mode can be activated during daily driving, except when exceeding 120 km/h, idling while parked, in N or P gear, or manual mode - especially during uphill climbs. Enabling ECO under these conditions would negate its fuel-saving characteristics and compromise power performance. ECO refers to the Economy Mode, which operates by comprehensively evaluating automatic transmission gear position, engine RPM, and transmission fluid temperature during vehicle movement. It optimally controls engine speed through appropriate gear selection, with the ECU calculating precise fuel injection quantities for engine operation.
