Combined fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The 100-kilometer fuel consumption is a value measured by the manufacturer under objective conditions, where the value measured by a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis is converted into speed parameters, and the theoretical experimental data of the 100-kilometer fuel consumption is calculated using a specified speed model. Additional details are as follows: Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption is also divided into constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy index when a car travels at a constant speed on good roads. Road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy index measured when a car travels in repeated cycles according to specified speed and time specifications on the road, also known as multi-process road cycle fuel consumption. Methods to Reduce Fuel Consumption: Checking the air conditioning system in summer is essential; frequent sudden braking is the main reason for high fuel consumption; the air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles should not be turned on too aggressively.

How to Open a 4S Store?

First, the qualifications and legal business credentials of the operator are preliminarily reviewed, with preference given to those with relevant experience. The operator must have a good commercial reputation. The can be downloaded from the official website of the automobile brand manufacturer. The manufacturer will conduct an initial screening based on the application materials and carry out on-site inspections. The operator must strictly adhere to the "Four-in-One" franchise model and cannot operate beyond the authorized scope. The manufacturer authorizes the franchise store for sales and maintenance.

What are the symptoms of a faulty car engine ignition coil?

Ignition coil failure symptoms: Generally, the number of ignition coils corresponds to the number of cylinders in the engine. If an ignition coil is severely damaged, causing insufficient spark from the spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture or complete absence of spark, the engine will experience a misfire. The specific symptom is engine shaking: Due to the imbalance in power generation caused by the misfire, the engine will exhibit severe vibrations during operation. If there are too many misfiring cylinders or two adjacent power-generating cylinders misfire simultaneously, the engine is highly likely to fail to start normally.

How to Know the Production Date of a Tire?

The production date of a car tire is generally represented by a four-digit number, where the first two digits indicate the production week and the last two digits represent the production year. Here is the relevant information: 1. The production date of a car tire is part of a series of alphanumeric characters starting with DOT, which stands for U.S. Department of Transportation certification. 2. The following numbers and letters represent the tire's origin information and factory code. 3. The last four digits indicate the production date. 4. Generally, the maximum speed on highways is controlled at 120 km/h, but as tires are continuously used, their load-bearing capacity weakens, and changes in road temperature can also reduce the maximum speed rating. Therefore, manufacturers equip tires with a speed rating several levels higher than the 120 km/h limit to ensure vehicle safety.

What is the ground clearance of the Equinox?

The minimum ground clearance of the Equinox when unloaded is 199 mm, and when fully loaded, it is 170 mm. More details about the Equinox's ground clearance are as follows: 1. Minimum ground clearance: Refers to the distance from the lowest point of the chassis to the ground when the vehicle is fully loaded. The Equinox has an approach angle of 24 degrees and a departure angle of 19.2 degrees. 2. Ground clearance reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven surfaces without collision: The greater the ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven surfaces; the smaller the ground clearance, the weaker this ability. 3. The ground clearance of the new Equinox has become smaller: The new Equinox features a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link suspension combination, with an approach angle of 19°, a departure angle of 23°, and a minimum ground clearance of 158 mm.

What is the ground clearance of the Honda CRV?

Honda CRV's minimum ground clearance when fully loaded is 135mm, and the ground clearance when unloaded is 185mm. Here is some relevant information: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It indicates the car's ability to overcome obstacles (such as stones, etc.). The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. 2. The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Do you need to press the brake when shifting from D to N?

Shifting from D to N does not require pressing the brake. The situations where you need to press the brake when shifting between gears are as follows: 1. From P to R and R to P, you must press the shift lock and brake. 2. From R to N, you do not need to press the shift lock or brake. 3. From N to R, you must press the shift lock and brake. 4. From N to D, you must press the shift lock and brake. 5. From D to S, you must press the shift lock but do not need to release the throttle or brake. 6. From S to D, you can simply push the lever without releasing the throttle or braking. 7. From D to D (+ or -), you do not need to release the throttle, brake, or press the shift lock; simply shift directly. After shifting, it will directly correspond to the D gear position.
