The Honda Civic engine is produced by Guangdong Dongfeng Honda Engine Co., Ltd. The engines used in the Civic employ imported technology and are assembled in China. The Civic's engine model is L15C7, with a maximum power of 95 kW, maximum torque of 180 Nm, maximum horsepower of 129 Ps, maximum power speed of 5500-6000 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 1700-4500 rpm. For daily maintenance of the Civic engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How to Drive a Volkswagen with Tiptronic Transmission?

To drive a Volkswagen with Tiptronic transmission, follow these steps: 1. Press the brake pedal and pull the gear lever downward to engage the drive (D) position. 2. Push the gear lever to the right to enter manual mode. 3. When shifting gears, push the lever forward to upshift and pull it backward to downshift. 4. Note that you cannot upshift if the vehicle speed and engine RPM are insufficient, as gear changes require approval from the transmission control unit. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have the following gear positions: P, R, N, D, and S: 1. P (Parking) - The gear lever must be in P position when parking the vehicle. 2. R (Reverse) - Used for reversing. 3. N (Neutral) - Equivalent to neutral, used when starting the engine, temporary stops with the driver remaining in the vehicle, or during towing. 4. D (Drive) - For normal driving, place the gear lever in D position, allowing the vehicle to automatically shift between forward gears. D is the most commonly used position. 5. S (Sport) - Activates the vehicle's sport mode. In S mode, the transmission can shift freely but delays shifting to keep the engine at higher RPMs for extended periods, allowing the vehicle to maintain lower gears at higher speeds for increased torque output and acceleration.

What is the purpose of adjusting valve clearance in a car engine?

The purpose of adjusting valve clearance in a car engine is to compensate for the thermal expansion of the valves. When the engine is running, the valves expand due to the increase in temperature. If there is no gap or the gap is too small between the valves and their transmission components in the cold state, the thermal expansion of the valves and their transmission components will inevitably cause the valves to not close tightly in the hot state. Valve clearance is divided into cold clearance and hot clearance. Hot clearance is slightly smaller than cold clearance, and the clearance measured in the cold state of the engine is the cold clearance. Generally, the cold clearance of the intake valve is between 0.08 to 0.10 millimeters, and the cold clearance of the exhaust valve is around 0.10 to 0.12 millimeters. Adjustment should be strictly carried out according to the clearance specified in the manual. The inspection and adjustment of valve clearance must be performed when both the intake and exhaust valves are completely closed. When the piston is at the top dead center of the compression stroke, the intake and exhaust valves are exactly completely closed, so the valve clearance must be adjusted when it is at the top dead center. The adjustment of valve clearance should be performed when the engine is in the cold state. It is strictly forbidden to adjust the clearance when the engine is running. For a twin-cylinder engine, inspection and adjustment should be carried out cylinder by cylinder.

How to open the trunk from inside the Tayron?

The trunk switch of the Tayron is located on the door panel of the driver's side door. Press this switch to open the trunk lid. The functions of the car trunk are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. A fully equipped toolkit. The spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc., in the trunk are generally standard equipment on cars, but many models are not fully equipped. In fact, the first aid kit and warning triangle should be included in these configurations, as they are related to driving safety and emergency assistance. 2. Luggage storage net. When driving, sometimes you may encounter the problem of small, scattered items or fragile items that cannot be placed properly. No matter how neatly they are arranged, you still have to rearrange them when getting off the car, and there is even a risk of them being damaged by bumps. With a luggage storage net in the trunk, these worries and unnecessary losses can be avoided. 3. Luggage compartment partition. Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models have a partition in the trunk area, which is an original factory-installed accessory. After the vehicle leaves the factory, an installation position will be reserved in this area. With the partition in place, even without a rearview camera, you won't have to blindly reverse; in case of an emergency brake, it can prevent luggage from rushing into the cabin and causing harm to the occupants.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function on Chevrolet Malibu XL?

The method to turn off the auto start-stop function on Malibu XL: Simply press the auto start-stop button, and the dashboard will display a prompt indicating the system is being turned off. Click to confirm the shutdown. Scenarios where turning off the auto start-stop is recommended: 1. When driving on steep slopes, it is advisable to avoid using the auto start-stop function. Although the engine stop duration is brief, the start-stop operation on a slope may lead to insufficient braking assistance. 2. During extremely hot weather in southern regions when the air conditioning is running at full capacity, it is best to disable the auto start-stop function. The air conditioning system requires significant power, and the vehicle's electrical system may not provide enough power to sustain the air conditioning when the engine is off, resulting in discomfort for passengers. 3. When driving through water, it is highly recommended to turn off the auto start-stop system. This prevents the engine from shutting down while the vehicle is in motion, which could cause a sudden drop in exhaust pressure. Water may then flow back into the engine through the exhaust pipe, potentially preventing the engine from restarting. 4. In cases of severe traffic congestion, disabling the auto start-stop function is also suggested. Prolonged engine shutdowns can lower the combustion chamber temperature, leading to the formation of carbon deposits from unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin on the cylinder walls. These deposits can increase fuel consumption and reduce engine power, counteracting the fuel-saving purpose of the auto start-stop feature.
