Honda CR-V's S gear is the sport mode, and the L gear is the low gear. The meaning of S gear (sport mode): S stands for sport mode. Using the S gear can enhance driving pleasure. In this mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at higher RPMs for a longer time, thereby increasing the vehicle's power. The meaning of L gear (low gear): L gear is the low gear, which can be understood as the 2nd gear in a manual transmission. The L gear is also the low forward gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear limits the car's automatic shifting to the lowest gear (equivalent to the 1st gear in a manual transmission), allowing the car to use the engine's power for braking. This prevents the driver from having to press the brake for extended periods, which could overheat the brake pads and lead to danger.

Does Car Wrapping for Color Change Require Registration?

Whether car wrapping for color change requires registration depends on whether the altered color area exceeds 30%. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no registration for modification is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is necessary, and the change must be recorded within 10 days after the color alteration. Precautions for Vehicle Wrapping and Color Change: Before proceeding with car wrapping for color change, it is advisable to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether this method of color alteration is permitted in the region. If the area does not support this method, registration cannot be processed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Documents Required for Applying to Change the Vehicle Body Color: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Identity proof and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license. Clearance of all previous fines. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners are no longer required to apply in advance to the vehicle management office.

Moreover, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of usage nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial one or vice versa. Change of the motor vehicle owner's residence in or out of the vehicle management office's jurisdiction. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to these vehicles or similar to them.

Can a Car Designed for 95 Octane Gasoline Use 92 Octane?

1. Using gasoline with an octane rating lower than the engine's requirement can cause knocking and damage the engine. 2. Generally, the higher the engine's compression ratio, the higher the required gasoline octane rating. A higher compression ratio increases cylinder pressure and temperature, making the air-fuel mixture more prone to premature combustion, which can lead to engine knocking. 3. Occasionally using 92 octane gasoline can negatively affect the engine's thermal efficiency, power output, fuel economy, and exhaust emissions.
