The curb weight of a car refers to the self-weight of a vehicle, which is directly proportional to the car's fuel consumption rate. Specific details are as follows: 1. The curb weight of a car is essentially its self-weight. The calculation method for a car's self-weight includes: the weight of the car under normal driving conditions + onboard accessories + the driver's weight (68 kilograms) + the weight of luggage (7 kilograms). 2. The curb weight of a car is directly proportional to its fuel consumption rate, making it an important parameter that affects the vehicle. The greater the curb weight, the higher the fuel consumption rate of the car.

What does the MONO button on the air conditioner mean?

The MONO button in a car's air conditioning system refers to the temperature zone control function. When this button is activated, all air outlet zones will maintain the same temperature setting adjusted by the driver. The MONO button's primary function is to synchronize the passenger side climate settings with the driver's side settings with a single press - this instantly replicates the driver's preferred temperature, fan speed, and other AC settings for the front passenger. Vehicles equipped with dual-zone climate control systems typically feature a passenger control toggle button, though different automakers use various naming conventions for this function (common terms include DUAL, MONO, SYNC, or ZONE). When enabled, the driver can set temperatures for all zones; when disabled, the front passenger can independently adjust their side's temperature.

Can a car with one-button start be started if the key is not in the car?

If the one-button start key is not in the car, the car can be started if it has a remote start function. One-button start means you don't need to insert the car key. For example, some BMW models with smart start require the ignition key to be inside the car for ignition. If the key is taken out of the car, the dashboard will display a warning that the key is not in the car, and the engine will shut off after driving a certain distance. The principle of remote start is to send a signal to the car via the smart key to start the engine remotely. Nowadays, higher-end cars are equipped with remote start functionality, and some models can even be controlled via a mobile app, allowing not only the engine to be started but also the air conditioning to be adjusted and the car's condition to be checked.

What should be noted when driving an automatic transmission car?

Things to pay attention to when driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Gear shifting while driving; 2. Use the handbrake when starting on a slope; 3. Do not coast in neutral, as prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the transmission; 4. Pay attention when parking and shifting gears—first press the brake and shift into N (Neutral), then engage the handbrake, release the brake pedal, and shift into P (Park) once the vehicle is completely stopped; 5. Be cautious when towing—it's best to lift the entire vehicle when towing an automatic transmission car. If lifting the entire vehicle is not possible, shift into N (Neutral), minimize the towing distance, and maintain a low speed.
