Resaccel on a car is a control indicator for cruise speed. The cruise control system, abbreviated as CCS, is also known as the cruise control driving device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. With this device, when driving on highways for long periods, the driver no longer needs to control the accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel. However, cruise control should not be used in the following situations: 1. Non-enclosed road sections. The road conditions in such areas are very complex, with numerous intersections and roads leading in all directions. Using cruise control may prevent timely speed adjustments based on actual road conditions, increasing the risk of accidents. 2. Rainy or snowy weather. Due to slippery road surfaces in such conditions, the car's handling is reduced, so cruise control should not be used for safety reasons. 3. Mountainous roads or roads with many turns. These conditions generally require reduced or low-speed driving. Using cruise control, which maintains a constant speed, is not conducive to safe driving and should be avoided.

As a seasoned long-distance driver, I've seen many buttons in cars. The 'resaccel' you mentioned probably refers to the resume and accelerate functions in the cruise control system. Typically, there are dedicated buttons on the steering wheel or center console labeled with the combined meaning of 'resume' and 'accelerate'. Specifically, when you activate cruise control and set a speed (say 70 km/h), if you need to brake to slow down due to road conditions, pressing the resume button once it's safe will automatically return the car to 70 km/h without fiddling with the accelerator. To slightly increase speed, press the accelerate button - each light tap increments the speed a bit, which is super convenient. This feature is extremely useful for long highway drives, significantly reducing right foot fatigue and allowing you to focus more on road conditions rather than speed adjustments. However, note that not all vehicles have this function - check your car's manual or dashboard icons to confirm. Safety first: don't use this feature in heavy traffic.

What to Do If One Key of a Keyless Start Car Is Lost?

If a key for a keyless start vehicle is lost, you can go to a 4S shop to rematch another key. Then delete the data of the lost key, so that the lost key cannot start the vehicle. First, confirm whether the key was lost unintentionally or due to theft. Extended information: 1. Unintentional loss: Look for a nearby car key specialist to erase the lost key information from the vehicle's system. This will disable the remote and start functions. If only one key is left, it is recommended to make an additional spare key, as the cost of rematching keys after losing all of them is extremely high. 2. Theft loss: It is recommended to replace all mechanical locks of the vehicle and then erase the data of the lost key. Even if the key data is erased, someone with malicious intent can still use the key to open the door and steal items from the car.

Where is the timing installation point for Jiangling JX493ZLQ3?

There is a small notch at the 12 o'clock position of the crankshaft timing gear, a small protrusion at the position of the 4th cylinder, and a small notch on the camshaft timing tooth surface. There is also a small notch fixed with a screw from top to bottom on the camshaft timing tooth surface, and the same applies to the high-pressure pump timing tooth surface. After seeing the screw hole below, fix it with a screw in the same direction. Below are the specific steps for ignition timing adjustment: 1. Adjusting the distributor contact gap not only affects the spark strength but also the opening and closing timing of the contacts. If the contact gap is adjusted after setting the ignition timing, even a slight change will disrupt the ignition timing. Therefore, the contact gap must be adjusted before setting the ignition timing, within the range of 0.35 to 0.40 mm. 2. Locate the top dead center position of the first cylinder's compression stroke and loosen the first cylinder's spark plug. Slowly rotate the crankshaft until a hissing sound is heard, indicating the first cylinder is in the compression stroke. Open the inspection hole cover on the flywheel housing and slowly rotate the crankshaft to align the timing marks. 3. If there is an octane selector, adjust it to the 0 mark position. 4. Determine the position where the breaker contacts just begin to open. Loosen the distributor housing fixing screw, rotate the housing in the direction of the distributor shaft rotation to close the contacts. Then turn on the ignition switch, rotate the distributor housing in the opposite direction of the distributor shaft rotation while holding the ignition coil high-voltage wire near the ground (about 2-3 mm) until a spark is observed. Finally, tighten the distributor housing fixing screw.

Why was the Changan Oulve discontinued?

Changan Oulve was discontinued due to safety hazards and low sales caused by its relatively high price. The reasons for its gradual discontinuation include: 1. Safety hazards: Some Changan Oulve vehicles experienced abnormal wear on the torque sensor of the steering shaft assembly after long-term use, causing the controller to enter a fault protection state. In extreme cases, this could lead to reduced power steering assistance and heavier steering, posing safety risks. Starting from March 1, 2017, Changan recalled Oulve vehicles manufactured between November 7, 2012, and November 13, 2015 (inclusive), involving a total of 108,642 units. 2. Low sales: Low sales resulted in low ownership rates, which drove up the cost of parts and repairs, with many parts becoming difficult to obtain. Additionally, the vehicle's front design somewhat imitated a compact SUV, leading to larger blind spots around the A-pillar and relatively high fuel consumption.

Which Gear to Use When Driving a Manual Transmission Car Through Water?

Depending on the depth of the water, it is generally recommended to drive in 2nd or 3rd gear when navigating through water with a manual transmission. Driving through water advice: If the rain is heavy and the road is deeply flooded, do not attempt to drive through. If the engine stalls while driving through deep water, do not attempt to restart the engine, as this can directly lead to engine failure. Consequences of driving through water: Important electronic components in a car include the ECU, TCU, and various sensors. Without these, the car cannot function properly. The ECU is the brain of the engine, collecting various data and controlling the engine through actuators. Without the ECU, the engine cannot operate normally. If the sensors are damaged, the ECU cannot collect data, and the engine will not function properly. The TCU is the computer for the automatic transmission, collecting data and controlling gear shifts. Without the TCU, the transmission cannot shift gears, rendering the car inoperable. If a car is submerged in water, these sensors and computers can be damaged, and the car will only be usable again after replacing these damaged electronic components.

What is the warranty period for Volkswagen vehicles?

Volkswagen vehicles have a warranty period of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Vehicle warranty conditions: There are many conditions for vehicle warranties, and the warranty periods for different components vary. Consumers should clarify the warranty duration and conditions for consumable parts. Many manufacturers specify in the owner's manual that consumable and wear-and-tear parts are not covered under warranty unless they are quality-related issues. Differences in vehicle warranty periods: Generally, the warranty period for the engine and transmission is the same as the overall vehicle warranty, while consumable parts like batteries, air filters, cabin air filters, and timing belts have much shorter warranty periods. Additionally, the Maintenance Manual typically states that wear-and-tear parts such as wiper blades, brake pads, clutch discs, tires, headlights, and glass are not covered under warranty.

What Causes Shaking When Starting in 1st Gear with a Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission starting shaking reasons: When starting with a manual transmission, the clutch is in a semi-engaged state, which can cause a certain degree of slight shaking; if starting on a slight slope without giving gas, the shaking can be more noticeable. This situation is caused by the clutch part; if the shaking is severe, the first possible issue could be a fault in the clutch components. Solutions for shaking not caused by operation: When starting, always gently press the accelerator while releasing the clutch based on feel. With practice, starting can be done without shaking. If the issue is not due to operation, the possible cause might be insufficient engine power. If the engine power cannot keep up when starting, the car will shake. (Check the engine). Loose connection between the transmission and the chassis. Starting can also cause a shaking sensation. (Check chassis components such as the half-shaft, CV joint, etc.). Uneven engagement between the clutch pressure plate and the clutch friction disc. Starting will cause shaking. This could be due to uneven pressure from the clutch pressure plate fingers. The only solution is replacement.
