Introduction to the meaning of engine start-stop technology: Engine start-stop technology refers to the automatic shutdown of the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Here are more details: 1. The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. 2. The operation of the automatic start-stop system is as follows: while driving, as soon as the brake pedal is pressed directly and the vehicle comes to a complete stop for about two seconds, the engine will automatically shut off. As long as the brake pedal is held down, the engine remains off. As soon as the brake is released or the steering wheel is turned, the engine automatically restarts immediately, allowing the driver to press the accelerator and start moving again, all while remaining in D gear.

What Causes Abnormal Engine Noise During Acceleration?

Abnormal engine noise during acceleration is caused by irregular engine speed conditions during operation. Below are the specific reasons for abnormal engine noise: 1. Noise occurs only at idle or low-speed operation: Excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall; Over-tight piston pin assembly or connecting rod bearing assembly; Excessive clearance between the tappet and its guide hole; Wear on the camshaft profile; Sometimes, a loose starter clutch causes pulley noise (noticeable during speed changes). 2. Noise becomes chaotic at a certain speed, with brief sounds emitted during rapid deceleration: Cracked camshaft timing gear or loose fixing nut; Broken crankshaft; Loose piston pin bushing; Excessive axial clearance of the camshaft or loose bushing. 3. Noise appears during rapid engine acceleration and persists at high-speed operation: Loose connecting rod bearings, melted or incorrectly sized bearing shells causing rotation; Loose crankshaft bearings or melted bearing shells; Broken piston pin; Broken crankshaft.

What is the actual 0-100km/h acceleration time of the Ford Focus?

According to official data, the Ford Focus with a 1.5T engine has a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9-11 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model has a maximum torque of 153 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds; the 2021 Ford Focus Hatchback EcoBoost180 Automatic ST-Line has a maximum torque of 243 Nm and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Ford Focus offers three types of transmissions: 6-speed manual, 8-speed manual-automatic, and 8-speed automatic. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The 2021 Ford Focus Sedan 1.5L Manual Fengyue model has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 98Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 11.2 seconds; the 2021 Ford Focus Sedan EcoBoost180 Automatic Fengchao model has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 126Hp/T and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds.

Is it necessary for the passenger seat to fasten the seat belt?

The passenger seat must fasten the seat belt. Below are the specific details about not fastening the seat belt in the passenger seat of a motor vehicle: 1. Driving on highways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. 2. Driving on urban expressways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, and 2 points will be deducted. 3. Vehicles traveling on highways: If passengers do not fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed. 4. Driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways: If the driver does not use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed, but no points will be deducted. 5. Driving on urban roads with speed limits below 50 kilometers per hour: If passengers do not use the seat belt as required, an oral warning will be given.

What is the difference between a dual-clutch transmission and a tiptronic transmission?

Tiptronic is a manual + automatic transmission. Since it simulates the manual mode, it is equivalent to an AMT in manual mode; in simple terms, a dual-clutch transmission has two sets of clutches inside the transmission, which is a type of transmission between tiptronic and CVT. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Tiptronic transmission: The most important parts of a tiptronic transmission are the torque converter and planetary gears: the torque converter is responsible for transmitting power, while the planetary gears are responsible for shifting. The advantages of this transmission are ease of use, mature technology, stable structure, and the ability to transmit high torque. 2. Dual-clutch transmission: The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission is that one clutch is responsible for gears 1, 3, and 5, while the other is responsible for gears 2, 4, and 6. The shift time between the two sets of clutches is short, so the power output and shift gap are better than those of a tiptronic transmission. Therefore, the dual-clutch transmission can ensure almost uninterrupted torque output and the smoothness of the engine's power output, thereby achieving the goal of fuel efficiency.
