The reasons for the trunk not closing without applying force are as follows: 1. Overly stiff spring rods: To ensure the rear hatch automatically lifts when the opening switch is pressed, excessively stiff spring rods are used; 2. Rubber stops and locking mechanism: The rubber stops and locking mechanism are not properly matched; 3. Control circuit: Malfunction in the trunk control circuit; 4. Hydraulic support rods: Failure in the trunk hydraulic support rods. In fact, when facing a trunk that won't close, applying force will only cause more damage. The correct approach is to drive the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. The trunk is used for daily transportation, and during travel, it often carries a large number of items. This easy-to-maintain trunk compartment is even suitable for storing food and beverages.

How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a Focus?

Ford Focus manual transmission fluid is designed for long-term use and is theoretically maintenance-free, requiring only regular inspections. The automatic transmission fluid should be changed for the first time at 55,000 kilometers, and then every 60,000 kilometers thereafter. Below is an introduction to transmission fluid: 1. Its main function is to keep the gear shifting system clean and to lubricate the transmission components, extending their lifespan. Due to differences in transmission design, transmissions are divided into manual and automatic (which further includes CVT, AMT, etc.). Each type of transmission has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicle models will have differences in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. 2. When changing the transmission fluid, some old fluid will remain in the transmission channels and torque converter. When different fluids are added, the mixture of the two different fluids inside the automatic transmission may reduce the performance of the automatic transmission fluid, leading to poor lubrication or abnormal operation of the automatic transmission, which can severely damage the automatic transmission.

How to Step on the Clutch Steadily

Manual transmission stepping on the clutch steadily method is: use the front part of the foot to press the clutch pedal deeply with the heel of the left foot as the fulcrum, and the action should be slow when releasing the foot. The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, and its functions are: 1. ensure a smooth start of the car; 2. achieve smooth gear shifting. The clutch is divided into: 1. electromagnetic clutch; 2. magnetic particle clutch; 3. friction clutch; 4. hydraulic clutch. The manual transmission starting method is: 1. step on the clutch and turn the key to the ACC gear, stay for about 3 to 5 seconds and then turn to the START gear to ignite; 2. step on the clutch to shift gears, and release the handbrake.

Where is the rear fog light located on a car?

Car rear fog lights are located on the left side or both sides of the taillights. When driving in adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or in smoke-filled environments, front fog lights must be used to illuminate the road ahead and ensure driving safety. The main functions of fog lights are: 1. Front fog lights are used to improve illumination when the road conditions ahead are unclear and to alert oncoming drivers. 2. Rear fog lights help vehicles behind to spot the car in low visibility conditions. The usage of fog lights is as follows: 1. When visibility is between 100 to 200 meters, fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, and taillights must be turned on, maintaining a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle ahead. 2. When visibility is between 50 to 100 meters, fog lights, low beams, width indicator lights, and taillights should be turned on, keeping a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle ahead.

Where is the transmission oil filler port on Ford Focus?

For Ford Focus manual transmission, the oil filler port is located near the reverse gear switch, which can be accessed by removing the reverse gear switch. You can observe it by removing the reverse light switch, checking the vent on the transmission, or inspecting the side of the transmission. Below is relevant information about Ford: 1. The transmission oil specifications for the new Ford Focus are as follows: 1.0T model - manual transmission WSD-M2C200-C/WSS-M2C200-D2, viscosity grade SAE75W-90/FE-75W; automatic transmission WSS-M2C938-A. The required transmission oil quantities are: 1.0T model - manual 0.6L, automatic 8.6L. 1.5T model - 9.1L. 1.6L model - manual 1.6L, automatic 1.7L. 2. The primary function of transmission oil is to maintain the cleanliness of the gear system and provide lubrication to the transmission components, extending their lifespan. Due to different transmission designs, there are manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (including CVT, AMT, etc.). Each transmission design has specific technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles may vary in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission oil.

Why do most cars have only one reverse light?

There are two main reasons why most cars are equipped with only one reverse light: 1. According to relevant regulations in China, if a car is less than 6 meters in length, it must have at least one fog light on the left side and one reverse light on the right side. 2. The purpose of the reverse light is to alert vehicles or pedestrians behind to take caution. Having only one reverse light makes it easier for pedestrians to see, thereby enhancing traffic safety. Here are some tips for reversing: 1. Before getting into the car, observe the environment behind the vehicle, determine the reversing route, and be mindful of obstacles before starting the operation. Reverse slowly to avoid accidents. 2. If the lighting is too dim, you can turn on the rear fog light for additional illumination.
