1 and 2 are low gears, equivalent to the 1st and 2nd gears in a manual transmission. The following are the functions of the 1 and 2 gears in an automatic transmission: 1. Steep slopes: When going up or down very steep slopes, select 1st gear. In this case, the car will always remain in 1st gear and will not shift into the other three forward gears. This ensures sufficient power when climbing and maximizes the engine braking effect when descending. 2. Long slopes: When encountering a long-distance slope, select 2nd gear. The control unit will automatically shift between 1st and 2nd gears based on the driving speed and throttle opening. This avoids unnecessary shifting into higher gears and better utilizes the engine braking effect when descending.

How to Adjust the Carburetor for Fuel Efficiency?

There are several methods to adjust the carburetor for fuel efficiency: 1. Appropriately lower the fuel level in the float chamber. 2. Reduce the diameter of the main jet. 3. Lower the carburetor's main needle. 4. Actively reduce the fuel supply. Here is more information about the carburetor: 1. The main jet comes in two types: fixed and adjustable with a screw needle. For fixed main jets, you can wrap one or two thin copper wires inside the jet to reduce fuel flow. For adjustable types, first screw the needle all the way in, then turn it counterclockwise about one and a half turns. 2. Reasonably lowering the mixture concentration should prioritize engine stability. The car should not experience hesitation during acceleration or carburetor backfire. Multiple adjustments may be needed to reach the optimal level. 3. The throttle opening within two-thirds is the leanest and most fuel-efficient state for the mixture. 4. Generally, avoid pressing the accelerator all the way down to achieve fuel efficiency.

How many years can the battery of a Classic Sylphy last?

The battery life of the Classic Sylphy is generally two to three years. The service life of the battery is related to the vehicle's configuration and electrical equipment. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries are most afraid of low temperatures, as their capacity is lower in cold environments compared to normal temperatures. Key points to extend battery life are as follows: 1. Avoid parking the car in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. 2. Car batteries should be charged regularly. If left unused for a long time, they will gradually discharge and eventually become unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. 3. Battery inspection generally involves checking two key data points: voltage and starting current. It is best to perform these checks when the engine is cold (overnight is ideal). The voltage must be above 12V, and this can be checked using a multimeter on the battery's positive and negative terminals.

How often should the spark plugs of Audi Q2L be replaced?

Audi Q2L spark plug replacement cycle: Under normal maintenance conditions, they should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. How spark plugs work: The ground electrode of the spark plug is connected to the metal shell, which is then connected to the engine block via the cylinder head threads. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the central electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the central electrode, it ionizes the medium between the central electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.

Can You Make a U-Turn at an International Signal Left Turn?

National standard traffic signals do not allow U-turns on left turns. Relevant details are as follows: Permitted U-turn situations: When there is a U-turn signal or sign; No U-turn sign but left turns are permitted (no prohibition of U-turn signs); U-turns can be made at dashed lines; U-turns can be made at yellow grid lines; U-turns can be made on the side with dashed lines in green belts. Prohibited U-turn situations: U-turns are prohibited where there are no U-turn signs or no left turn signs: As long as there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns cannot be made at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a sign prohibiting left turns at an intersection, then U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns cannot be made on crosswalks. If at an intersection where U-turns are permitted, you must cross the crosswalk before making the U-turn; you cannot make the U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited within the second left turn lane line: When a vehicle is stopped in the second left turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any directional signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns cannot be made at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light to turn on and cross the stop line to make the U-turn. Precautions for U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should turn on the left turn signal in advance, the maximum driving speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and you must not hinder other vehicles and pedestrians driving normally.
