I've been driving the JAC Jiayue A5 for over a year now. It's equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine made by JAC itself. The daily power is sufficient, acceleration is smooth, and overtaking on highways is effortless. I've also noticed it's quite fuel-efficient, averaging around 7.5 liters in the city, saving me a lot on monthly fuel costs. Maintenance is affordable too; I change the semi-synthetic oil every 5,000 kilometers, which costs just over 200 yuan. The car runs quietly, the seats are comfortable, and the rear space is spacious for family trips—the kids say it feels stable. However, the turbo lag is occasionally noticeable, with a slight delay in throttle response, so I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration to prolong its lifespan. Overall reliability is good, with no major issues, and it's easy for beginners to get used to.

Why was the Focus RS discontinued?

The Focus RS was discontinued due to increasingly stringent European emission regulations, with the new generation RS facing difficulties in production. Here is more relevant information: 1. Focus RS: The Focus RS is a new generation high-performance sedan developed based on the revamped European version of the Focus. The all-new Ford Focus RS will exclusively feature Michelin tires. Among them, the Michelin Pilot Super Sport (specification 235/35/19) is its standard tire, while the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (specification 235/35/19), known for its outstanding track performance, serves as an optional tire. 2. Focus RS Engine: The large intercooler air intake of the Focus RS runs from the top of the bumper all the way to the front lip, adorned with black metal mesh. The fog lights are directly embedded into the front of the front fenders without any embellishment. Two additional heat dissipation vents are added on the engine hood, and the cooling vents at the rear of the front fenders indicate that the vehicle will be equipped with a powerful braking system.

How to Use Three-Way Catalytic Converter Cleaner?

The usage method of three-way catalytic converter cleaner is the same as adding ordinary fuel additive, simply pour it into the vehicle's fuel tank to mix with the fuel. After the vehicle is started, the cleaner will enter the combustion chamber along with the gasoline and eventually be discharged with the exhaust gas. When passing through the three-way catalytic converter, it will perform the corresponding cleaning work. Currently, there are two main cleaning methods for the three-way catalytic converter: additive cleaning and intravenous bottle cleaning. 1. Additive cleaning: Additive cleaning involves adding a dedicated three-way catalytic converter cleaner to the fuel tank. After the vehicle is started, the cleaner will enter the combustion chamber along with the gasoline and eventually be discharged through the exhaust pipe with the exhaust gas. When passing through the three-way catalytic converter, the cleaner will perform a certain cleaning effect. Advantages of this method: affordable price and easy operation. Disadvantages: the cleaning effect is very limited. 2. Intravenous bottle cleaning: Intravenous bottle cleaning is currently the most mainstream method and is strongly promoted by 4S shops and repair shops. This method connects a soft tube to the engine vacuum tube and uses the negative pressure in the hollow tube to suck the cleaner in the intravenous bottle into the engine. When discharged through the exhaust pipe, it cleans the three-way catalytic converter. Advantages of this method: convenient to use and good cleaning ability. Disadvantages: relatively expensive. 3. Tips for cleaning the three-way catalytic converter: Whether it is additive cleaning or intravenous bottle cleaning, the cleaning effect on the three-way catalytic converter is not very high. If you want a more thorough cleaning of the three-way catalytic converter, you can only remove it for cleaning. However, because this method is relatively troublesome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, general 4S shops and repair shops do not provide disassembly cleaning services.

What is the meaning of the car break-in period?

The car break-in period refers to the initial driving stage of a new car or after a major overhaul. During this period, the ability of various components of the car to adapt to the environment can be adjusted and improved, and the protrusions on the parts can be worn off. The quality of the car break-in will have a significant impact on the vehicle. The following are precautions for getting through the break-in period: 1. Warm-up: When starting cold, it is best to wait until the water temperature warms up to above 40°C before starting. When starting, gently press and slowly release the clutch and accelerator pedal, and choose a good road surface to drive on. 2. Control: For a car in the break-in period, it is essential to control the driving speed, which should not be too high. After driving 1,500 kilometers, the engine speed and vehicle speed can be gradually increased to the maximum speed allowed by the vehicle. Also, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal too hard to ensure that pistons, cylinders, and other important components increase their load in a gentle state. 3. Frequent shifting: Do not use one gear for a long time. Start in a low gear and gradually shift to higher gears, driving step by step. The phenomenon of low gear at high speed and high gear at low speed must be avoided.

Techniques for Finding the 30cm Mark in Right Reverse Parking

Techniques for finding the 30cm mark in right reverse parking are as follows: 1. When reversing: When reversing and seeing the corner of the parking space, it appears at an angle. To find the actual 30cm, you should aim for 50-60cm when viewing it at an angle. 2. 30cm mark: According to the new standard, each dashed line in the parking space is 33cm, and each gap is also 33cm. The far end of the dashed line is 66cm from the corner of the parking space. Therefore, when the car body aligns with the far end of the dashed line or reaches halfway along the dashed line, turning the wheel to avoid the corner is what we refer to as the 30cm mark. 3. Three lines look at the far end, two lines look at the near end: If the parking space entrance has two dashed lines, the near end of the dashed line is also 50-60cm from the corner. Remember the phrase "Three lines look at the far end, two lines look at the near end." This way, during reverse parking, you won't be troubled by not finding the 30cm mark accurately. If there are no dashed lines at the parking space entrance, leaving a two-finger width is also approximately 30cm.
