Autohold in a car refers to the automatic parking system, which can adjust the optimal driving state according to different road conditions. It effectively prevents frequent gear shifts in poor road conditions and serves as a forced downshift during overtaking. When the hold button is pressed in D gear, the transmission will remain in second, third, or fourth gear. Autohold is a technical application that enables the automatic handbrake function while the car is in motion. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary and prevents unnecessary coasting when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged, making it particularly useful for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starts and stops.

Are Spark Plugs Universal?

Spark plugs are not universal because the discharge gaps vary between different brands and models. Mixing them can cause issues such as engine shaking, difficulty in acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. Steps to replace spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage distributor wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. Refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

Is the minimum speed on highways 60 or 80?

The minimum speed on highways is 60 km/h. If the weather conditions on the highway are poor, the driving speed of the vehicle should be further reduced. The maximum driving speed on highways should not exceed 120 km/h. A highway refers to a road with an annual average daily passenger car traffic volume of more than 25,000 vehicles, specifically designed for high-speed driving in separate lanes with full access control. Vehicles driving on highways are required to follow speed-specific lanes, as highways can accommodate speeds of 120 km/h or even higher. The road surface has a width of four or more lanes, with a central divider installed, prohibiting pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles from traveling on the road. The entire route is closed with controlled access points, allowing vehicles to enter and exit the highway at designated interchanges. Drivers are required to pay highway tolls according to the distance traveled by the vehicle.

What does 'tune' mean in a car?

'Tune' in a car refers to the button for adjusting the audio system, including bass balance, treble balance, left-right balance, front-rear balance, and SVC (Speed-sensitive Volume Control). Car audio systems are installed to alleviate the monotony of travel for drivers and passengers. Initially, car AM radios were used, later evolving to AM/FM radios, tape players, and then to CD players and digital audio systems compatible with DCC and DAT. When using car audio, the volume should not be too loud as it may interfere with normal driving. It is also not advisable to listen to overly soothing music as it can cause drowsiness.

Is the AC light indicating cold air or hot air?

The AC light indicates cold air. When the AC function is turned on, the air conditioning compressor starts working. AC stands for AirCondition, which translates to air control and air conditioning in Chinese. In a car, it can be understood as the air conditioning cooling switch. When the AC light is on, the engine's load will increase accordingly, and fuel consumption will also rise. Besides cooling, the air conditioning compressor also has a dehumidifying function. Turning on the AC button can keep the interior of the car dry, prevent fogging on the car windows, and maintain a constant temperature inside the car. If the air conditioning is turned on in winter, it takes some time for the car to reach a certain temperature before the air conditioning can deliver hot air. In winter, the engine does not need to power the air conditioning to produce hot air, as the heat is generated by the engine during operation. This neither affects the car's power nor its fuel consumption.
