'Slow car' refers to a vehicle that is slow to start. The 'slowness' at startup mainly depends on whether the driver's starting method is correct and the maintenance of the car. Below are methods for engine maintenance: 1. Regularly clean the car's radiator: Rust and scale in the car engine's radiator are common issues. Scale and rust can obstruct the flow of coolant in the cooling system, reducing heat dissipation, which can lead to engine overheating and even engine damage. 2. Regularly clean the car's crankcase: When the engine is running, high-pressure unburned gases, sulfur, moisture, nitrogen, and acid oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. Over time, these mix with metal particles from part wear, forming sludge.

Who is responsible for an accident during a test drive at a 4S store?

Nowadays, many 4S stores offer test drive services. Before the test drive, the 4S store will sign a "Test Drive Liability Waiver Agreement" with the driver, which generally stipulates that all losses caused to the 4S store and third parties due to a test drive accident shall be borne by the driver. Here are some aspects to pay attention to when test driving a car: Call: First, call to inquire whether there is a test drive car available and what documents are needed for the test drive. Observe: Before the test drive, check the vehicle's exterior for obvious scratches, dents, or cracks to avoid liability issues after the test drive. During the test drive, remain calm and focused, avoiding reckless or aggressive driving.

Does Auto Start-Stop Require Continuous Brake Pedal Pressure

Auto start-stop requires continuous depression of the brake pedal for the function to activate. Here's an explanation of how the auto start-stop system works: 1. The system operates when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at intersections. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the start/stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and in neutral; wheel speed sensors from the ABS show zero rotation. 3. The electronic battery sensor confirms sufficient energy for the next start. 4. When all three conditions are met, the engine automatically shuts off. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch (in manual transmissions) to reactivate the starter and quickly restart the engine.

What is the standard tire pressure for vehicles?

The standard tire pressure for vehicles is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a significant role in the performance and power of the car. The effects of excessive tire pressure are: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan. The effects of insufficient tire pressure are: 1. Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation; 3. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling.
