The engine equipped in the Wuling Hongguang S3 is domestically produced. The Hongguang S3's engine is the B-series engine from General Motors, which is an independent brand. It is a new-generation small-displacement, high-power engine based on General Motors' global platform technology, incorporating a large number of advanced technologies. The Wuling Hongguang S3 uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 147 PS, a maximum power of 108 kW, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Hongguang S3's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine 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 according to 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 is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. 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 powder 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.

Should You Check Both Side Mirrors When Changing Lanes?

When changing lanes in a car, you should not only check the exterior rearview mirrors and use the turn signal but also look at the interior rearview mirror. Correct Lane Changing Method: The most important aspect of changing lanes is to activate the turn signal at least 10 seconds in advance to inform other vehicles on the road of your intention. If the lane is congested and moving slowly, gradually approach the lane and proceed at a low speed. If you notice a vehicle that is slow to follow or start, immediately merge in front of it. Lane Changing Precautions: When changing lanes to avoid obstacles, it's essential to do so sufficiently in advance to prevent oncoming traffic in adjacent lanes from affecting your maneuver, which could lead to braking abruptly or forcing a lane change, resulting in a collision. When changing lanes, avoid abruptly turning the steering wheel into the adjacent lane to prevent collisions with suddenly appearing vehicles or skidding due to slippery road conditions.

How to Check if a Vehicle Meets China 5 Emission Standards?

On the vehicle license, those with BH at the beginning and ending with W or X are China 3, Y is China 4, and V is China 5 emission standards. The simplest and most direct method is to look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back: log in to the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center website to inquire. Bring the motor vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. If it's a new car, you can find the vehicle's factory certificate and look for the information inside. Make a rough distinction based on the year the vehicle was registered. Most vehicles registered after 2008 are China 4; vehicles registered in 2007 may be China 3 or China 4; vehicles registered before 2007 are mostly below China 4, meaning China 3 or China 2; vehicles registered before 2005 are mostly China 2. By mastering these methods, you can determine your vehicle's emission standard.

How many liters is one fuel gauge segment in the Boyue?

The fuel quantity per segment in the Boyue is approximately: For example: When the fuel gauge drops from full to half, the car can travel 250 kilometers; the remaining half may only allow for 200 kilometers. The Boyue has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. When the fuel warning light comes on, there is still reserved fuel in the tank (around 10 liters), allowing for at least 50 kilometers of additional driving. Some owners have tested: driving a new car to the gas station, filling up with 60 liters of gasoline, and driving until the fuel indicator light comes on, then only about 50 liters can be refilled at the gas station. Additional fuel-saving tips for driving: 1. Drive gently, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking (especially during startup). Sudden acceleration and braking not only increase fuel consumption but also raise the risk of rear-end collisions and other dangerous accidents. 2. Try to maintain the speed within the economical range (70KM/H~90KM/H). Keeping a steady speed is best, as frequent speed changes will also increase fuel consumption.

How to Evaluate Car Power?

Power and torque are key indicators. For similar vehicle types, higher power generally means greater horsepower. Simply put, horsepower represents strength, but torque is equally important—it essentially determines acceleration. Therefore, when comparing similar models, higher values in both power and torque indicate better overall performance, meaning the car can accelerate quickly while maintaining strong power output. Acceleration (a): This refers to how fast a car can speed up, primarily determined by "maximum torque." The higher the maximum torque, the quicker the acceleration. Acceleration capability (time t): This is the duration the engine can sustain maximum torque. The longer this period, the more prolonged and faster the vehicle's acceleration process. Turbocharged (T) engines: The blue line represents the torque curve, showing that the engine reaches its peak torque at 1500 RPM and maintains it up to 3000 RPM. This means that once the throttle reaches 1500 RPM, your car is already accelerating at full capacity and continues to do so. Naturally aspirated engines: These engines only achieve maximum torque at RPMs above 3000, and it's fleeting—if you press the throttle further, acceleration capability actually decreases.

What does DS mean in an automatic transmission car?

DS in an automatic transmission car stands for Sport Mode, also known as the Hill Climb Gear. Its characteristic is higher RPM for upshifting, primarily used for mountain road climbing and quick overtaking. Below are introductions to some other gears in an automatic transmission: 1. P stands for Parking Gear. It is used for parking. It utilizes a mechanical device to lock the car's transmission part, preventing the car from moving. When the car needs to stay in a fixed position for a relatively long time or before leaving the vehicle after parking, the hand brake should be engaged, and the lever should be pushed into the "P" position. 2. R stands for Reverse Gear. It is used for reversing the vehicle. Usually, the safety button on the lever needs to be pressed before the lever can be moved to the "R" gear. 3. N stands for Neutral Gear. When the lever is placed in the "N" gear, the power between the engine and the transmission is cut off. For brief stops, the lever can be placed in this gear, and the hand brake lever can be pulled out, allowing the right foot to move away from the brake pedal for a short rest.
