AUTOHOLD stands for Auto Hold, which is a switch used to control the automatic parking function. Below is an introduction to AUTOHOLD: 1. Meaning: AUTOHOLD is a feature of the braking system, but it is fundamentally different from the P (Park) gear. After stopping, this function automatically engages the parking brake to ensure safety, and lightly pressing the accelerator will automatically release the parking brake. 2. Prevents rolling: As long as the speed is zero, the Auto Hold function maintains braking to prevent the vehicle from rolling. 3. Ensures smooth starts: The function provides precise parking force based on data from the slope sensor and offers a calculated smooth start when accelerating. There is no need to worry about whether the parking brake is disengaged when starting, as the function automatically releases the parking brake by sensing clutch torque, engagement speed, and throttle pedal information to make a comprehensive judgment.

Can Bank Mortgaged Cars Be Purchased?

Bank mortgaged cars can be purchased, but they need to be released from mortgage first. Below are the specific details about mortgaged cars: 1. Illegal Mortgaged Cars: When a vehicle is used as collateral, it is called a mortgaged car. Illegal mortgaged cars refer to vehicles that are still under mortgage status with the vehicle management office and the bank, and the owner privately sells such cars. These cars cannot be purchased and doing so is illegal. 2. Purchase Conditions: Check the mortgage registration details in the 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate'. If the final mortgage registration has been canceled, it means the vehicle's secured debt has been fulfilled, and it is no longer a mortgaged car, thus can be purchased. If the mortgage registration has not been canceled, the vehicle management office will not process the transfer procedures.

Which is More Fuel-Efficient: Coasting in Neutral or Coasting in Gear?

Coasting in gear is more fuel-efficient than coasting in neutral. Here’s a detailed explanation of why coasting in gear saves more fuel: 1. Coasting in Neutral: In modern fuel-injected vehicles, coasting in neutral is equivalent to idling. The engine continues to supply fuel, albeit less than during normal driving. 2. Coasting in Gear: When the engine is between low-speed fuel cutoff and high-speed fuel cutoff, the vehicle's computer detects that the car is in an idle state but the speed is higher than the engine RPM. In this scenario, the computer will cut off fuel supply to the engine, making coasting in gear more fuel-efficient. 3. Important Note: Manual transmission vehicles should not coast in neutral, as doing so can lead to insufficient lubrication in the transmission, resulting in wear and tear.

How to distinguish between car dealerships and 4S stores?

Here are the specific differences between car dealerships and 4S stores: 1. Manufacturer certification: A 4S store is an authorized dealer of a brand. A 4S store integrates car sales, maintenance, parts, and information services, and can only sell a single brand of cars specially authorized by the manufacturer. The manufacturer also requires unified design standards for both the interior and exterior of the store. Car dealerships do not have manufacturer certification. They are not controlled by manufacturers and do not focus on selling a specific brand, offering a wide variety of car models. 2. After-sales service: 4S stores combine car sales, maintenance, parts, and information services; whereas car dealerships only need to provide a three-pack certificate to have maintenance and repairs done at any 4S store of the corresponding brand.

What is the National Emission Standard for Cars in 2006?

2006 cars could be either National II or National III emission standards, depending on the brand and model of the vehicle to accurately determine the exhaust emission standard. The automotive emission standard refers to the regulations on the content of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon smoke emitted from vehicle exhaust. Below are methods to check the national emission standard of a car: 1. Check the back of the car's environmental protection compliance label sticker, where the emission standard can be easily found. 2. The first page of the vehicle's certificate of conformity contains the emission standard, though it's not directly stated as National X but rather as a string of characters. 3. The vehicle's production year can provide a rough estimate of its emission standard. 4. Take the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office for inquiry, or a photocopy can also be used for the query.
