HOLD in a car refers to the auto hold function, which is used to control the switch for auto hold. Function of auto hold: Its function is to adjust the car to the most efficient driving state according to different road conditions. If driving on extremely poor road conditions, this button can effectively prevent the transmission from frequently shifting gears. During overtaking, it can also serve the purpose of forced downshifting. How to use auto hold: During normal driving, if you need it to work, simply press the HOLD button while in D gear. The car's transmission will then maintain the second, third, or fourth gear. Pressing the HOLD button in third gear will keep the car in second or third gear, while pressing it in second gear will maintain the car in second gear. Pressing it in first gear naturally keeps the car fixed in first gear. Using this button does not cause any harm to the transmission.

What is the standard tire pressure for SUV vehicles?

SUV vehicle tire pressure standards are theoretically around 2.2 to 2.5 bar, but the specific appropriate tire pressure can be checked in the vehicle's user manual or on the label near the door B-pillar or C-pillar, which indicates the manufacturer's recommended value. Tire pressure should not exceed 30% of the specified value, otherwise the probability of a tire blowout will greatly increase. When the tire pressure is too low, it will cause the friction coefficient between the tire and the road surface to increase, leading to higher fuel consumption; it will also reduce the function of the cord and rubber, resulting in delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area, and abnormal wear.

What do the letters TSI in cars stand for?

In automotive terms, TSI stands for Turbocharged Stratified Injection. Specifically, T represents Turbocharger, S stands for Stratified combustion, and I denotes direct Injection. In its strictest technical definition, TSI technology combines twin-charging (dual supercharging) and stratified direct injection, requiring relatively advanced engineering. The following explains stratified combustion and direct injection: Advantages of stratified combustion: This refers to the fuel injection process where atomized fuel forms a gradient from rich to lean mixture within the cylinder. The spark plug then ignites the air-fuel mixture according to this stratified gradient. Key benefits include improved fuel efficiency, better combustion performance, and reduced emissions. Advantages of direct injection: Direct injection means the fuel injector, like the spark plug, is mounted inside the combustion chamber. The injector sprays fuel directly into the cylinder for combustion. Primary advantages include precise control over the air-fuel mixture ratio and reduced carbon buildup in the intake tract.

Why is the cigarette lighter in the Magotan not working?

The reasons why the cigarette lighter in the Magotan is not working are as follows: 1. Loose spring clip: Due to long-term use and repeated insertion and removal, the spring clip may become loose, preventing the cigarette lighter from receiving power. 2. Short circuit: Repeated plugging and unplugging or improper use may cause a short circuit in the wiring, burning out the fuse. Additional relevant information is as follows: Notes: If the cigarette lighter is not working, you can try connecting a cigarette lighter of the same model. If it works normally, the issue is with the lighter itself, and it can be replaced directly. If it still doesn't work, the problem is likely with the fuse of the cigarette lighter, which can be replaced by yourself.

What are the causes of the third-generation iMMD hybrid transmission failure?

Here are the reasons for hybrid transmission failure: 1. Due to transmission computer or electronic component failure. 2. Due to impurities in the transmission oil or severe shortage. 3. Due to internal component damage in the transmission. Below is extended information about new energy vehicles: 1. Principle: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources, or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles. 2. Types: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. 3. License plates: Special license plates for new energy vehicles are green with black characters and black borders. New energy vehicle license plates are gradient green, while large new energy vehicle license plates are yellow-green bicolor.

How to Use the 12580 Vehicle Moving Service?

Here is how to use the 12580 vehicle moving service: 1. Registration: To use the 12580 vehicle moving service, you need to register first by dialing 12580 and pressing 8. The operator will ask for your license plate number and confirm the contact phone number associated with the vehicle. 2. Privacy Protection: If the other vehicle owner has not registered, they cannot be contacted. If registered, 12580 will immediately connect you, usually within a minute or two. During the entire process, only the vehicle owner can see their own phone number. On the hotline's information platform, only the operator can see the user's specific number during registration. During the subsequent connection between the two parties, only the license plate numbers of both vehicles are displayed. Additionally, the 12580 hotline strictly adheres to the policy of 'only connecting, not disclosing numbers,' ensuring personal privacy regardless of the caller's requests. 3. Alternative Methods: Besides 12580, if you encounter a vehicle blocking the way and need it moved, you can also call 110 or 122. After explaining the situation, the operator will ask for details such as the specific location of the blockage, the vehicle's make, and license plate number, and then assist in contacting the vehicle owner.

What Does Lightly Tapping the Brakes Mean?

Lightly tapping the brakes means initially pressing the brake pedal slightly, then releasing it (but not completely) when the vehicle noticeably slows down. When you feel the car is about to lose braking inhibition, press the brake again. This repeated cycle is what is referred to as "pumping the brakes." Additional information is as follows: 1. Pumping the Brakes: The working principle of "pumping the brakes" is basically the same as ABS, but it is not equivalent to ABS. This is because ABS can calculate and distribute the braking force among the four wheels via computer control to prevent wheel lock-up, thereby avoiding vehicle skidding. 2. ABS: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) functions by automatically controlling the braking force during vehicle deceleration, ensuring the wheels do not lock up and maintain a rolling-sliding state (with a slip ratio around 0.2). This maximizes the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface.
