3T on tires refers to: TREADWEAR wear resistance index, TRACTION traction ability, and TEMPERATURE temperature index. The specific meanings of 3T are: 1. The wear resistance index reflects the tire's wear resistance. The higher the value, the more wear-resistant the tire is, and the harder the rubber, resulting in poorer comfort. Conversely, the lower the value, the less wear-resistant the tire is, and the softer the rubber, leading to better comfort. 2. The traction index is a parameter that measures the tire's grip performance on wet and slippery roads. 3. The temperature index grade reflects the tire's own heat dissipation capability. As the speed increases, the temperature of the tire also rises. If the tire's own heat dissipation capability is poor or cannot withstand the rapidly rising temperature, its stability during high-speed driving will be greatly compromised. The higher the grade of the tire, the more it can reduce heat generation, and the longer its service life.

What happens if you press the accelerator hard in first gear?

It will damage the engine and consume more fuel. First gear is rarely used while driving because the speed is very slow, while the engine speed is very high. Prolonged use can harm the engine. Gear shifting essentials: 1. When shifting gears, apply gentle and smooth force, avoiding abrupt movements. It doesn't need to be too fast; 1-2 seconds is ideal. Follow the essentials, with clear movements and full range of motion. When reaching the position, apply slightly heavier force (i.e., subtle force) to ensure the gear is engaged. 2. Keep the five fingers together and loosely grip the gear knob. Use the forearm to drive the hand for shifting. For small cars, first and second gears are on the left side of neutral, third and fourth gears are slightly to the right of neutral, and fifth gear is at the top right corner. When shifting up, use the lower part of the palm. When shifting down, use the four fingers (excluding the thumb) of the right hand, which is particularly labor-saving. Additionally, when disengaging gears, avoid excessive force to prevent accidentally shifting into another gear. A slight force is sufficient when engaging gears.

How often should the Odyssey fuel filter be replaced?

It is recommended to replace the fuel filter every 20,000 kilometers, depending on the driving conditions and fuel quality. For externally mounted fuel filters, the general recommendation is to replace them every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. According to 4S dealership standards, fuel filters are typically replaced every 10,000 kilometers, but filters used for 10,000 kilometers are often not very dirty, making replacement somewhat wasteful. Symptoms of a dirty fuel filter Reduced engine efficiency, increased carbon buildup, damage to cylinders and surrounding components, poor fuel supply, insufficient vehicle power, or even stalling. A dirty fuel filter increases the likelihood of impurities entering the engine. If impurities are not filtered, over time, the fuel lines and fuel injection system can also become corroded and damaged. The fuel filter is connected to the fuel pump. If there are too many impurities in the fuel, they can clog the fuel injectors, leading to poor fuel supply. A clogged fuel filter can affect the fuel intake volume, and insufficient intake can make the engine difficult to start.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the City in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the City is 40 liters, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for the City is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 5.4-5.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 714-740 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel might exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Are the Engines of the Envision and Envision S the Same?

The engines used in the Envision and Envision S are different. The Envision S is equipped with the new LSY engine from General Motors. The Envision comes with two engine options: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the Envision has the model code LTG. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the Envision S delivers 237 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5,000 rpm and its maximum torque between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. It features variable cylinder technology and direct fuel injection, with an aluminum cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the Envision produces 260 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. It achieves its maximum power at 5,500 rpm and its maximum torque between 3,000 and 4,000 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection and an aluminum cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). The use of a 9AT improves gear shift smoothness and fuel efficiency.

What should be noted when replacing the front windshield?

After replacing the front windshield, the following points should be noted: 1. Do not wash the car within three days after replacing the windshield, and remove the tape fixing the windshield position after three days. 2. Try to avoid driving on excessively bumpy roads, and avoid emergency braking and rapid acceleration to prevent the windshield from shifting. 3. Do not insert parking permits or other cards into the gap between the front windshield and the dashboard. 4. Do not drive on highways, and keep the maximum speed below 80 km/h. 5. Do not apply window film within seven days. Methods for maintaining the car windshield: 1. Proper use of windshield washer fluid: In daily windshield maintenance, choose windshield washer fluid reasonably according to the season and weather. 2. Apply film to the windshield: When selecting the UV protection index of the heat-insulating film, the higher the better, as it can protect the dashboard components from premature aging due to prolonged sun exposure. 3. Purchase glass insurance for the car: Glass breakage insurance is a commercial insurance where the insurance company is responsible for compensating for the loss of the insured vehicle's glass during use. 4. Regularly clean the wipers: Because dust in the air and oil stains from vehicle exhaust will adhere to the windshield and wiper blades over time, increasing the friction during wiping, which can cause scratches on the windshield.

Can Motorcycles with Modified Projector Headlights Pass the Annual Inspection?

Motorcycles with modified projector headlights can pass the annual inspection. As long as the brightness of the headlights meets the requirements, modifying the projector itself is not illegal. The motorcycle inspection line mainly checks the effectiveness of all lights and braking performance. The annual vehicle inspection is primarily based on the National Standard of the People's Republic of China GB7258-2012 "Safety Technical Specifications for Motor Vehicle Operation". Exterior Inspection: The exterior inspection mainly checks whether the vehicle's appearance is damaged, whether it matches the original vehicle's appearance, and whether there are obvious modifications. For many young motorcycle riders today, there are numerous modifications to vehicle components. For example, many motorcycle enthusiasts like to modify the exhaust system or install crash bars. Some regions allow these modifications to pass, while others do not and require the vehicle to be restored to its original condition. Therefore, riders should refer to the strictness of motorcycle annual inspections in their local area. Emissions Testing: Emissions testing is a mandatory item for all motor vehicles. Before the test, the staff will verify whether the motorcycle's serial number matches the one on the vehicle registration certificate and briefly inspect the overall appearance of the vehicle. Then, the emissions test begins. Generally, motorcycles have a very high pass rate for emissions tests, unless the vehicle is in poor condition due to long-term neglect.
