What is the appropriate engine RPM?

It is generally reasonable to keep the car engine RPM between 1800 and 2000. However, different road conditions require different RPM levels. The engine RPM affects the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with RPM. Therefore, when specifying the engine's effective power, the corresponding RPM must also be indicated. RPM under different conditions: Idle state: During a cold start, the car idle speed is usually around 12001500 RPM. When the engine reaches normal operating temperature, the idle speed typically stabilizes at 800900 RPM. If driving in D gear without pressing the accelerator, the speed is approximately 5-10 km/h. City driving: Shifting gears at around 2000 RPM is normal. When accelerating or overtaking: Shifting gears at around 3000 RPM is normal. If more power is needed, up to 4000 RPM is acceptable. In sport mode (some models have an S gear), the RPM will increase by more than 500. This is due to the gear mechanism and cannot be manually adjusted. During the break-in period for new cars: Try not to exceed 3000 RPM.

Does the road adhesion decrease when driving in a tunnel?

Road adhesion does decrease when driving in a tunnel. The decrease in adhesion mainly refers to the impact of airflow within the tunnel on the vehicle, which reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface. Before entering a tunnel, there are traffic signs indicating width and height restrictions. Drivers must adhere to these warning signs. When passing through a culvert, it is necessary to reduce speed appropriately and check whether the vehicle's load height is within the permitted range indicated by the traffic signs. If necessary, get out of the vehicle to inspect and confirm before proceeding slowly. When approaching an uncontrolled single-lane tunnel, carefully observe both the inside of the tunnel and the entrance at the other end. If there are already vehicles inside the tunnel, take the initiative to stop and yield. If vehicles are about to enter from the other end, use high beams to signal. Once the oncoming vehicle enters the tunnel, stop immediately. If the other vehicle yields, proceed promptly. When within 50 meters of the tunnel entrance, turn on the headlights, width lights, and taillights, and check the speedometer to drive at the speed indicated by the tunnel entrance signs. Maintain a safe following distance to ensure sufficient space for avoiding hazards. Generally, a distance of over 100 meters should be kept when driving in a tunnel. For longer tunnels, follow the posted guidelines to maintain the appropriate safe driving distance. Avoid using high beams. Prolonged use of high beams at night can affect oncoming and preceding vehicles, as high beams can cause temporary blindness to drivers. The difference in light levels inside and outside the tunnel already makes it difficult for drivers to see, and the additional glare from high beams increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, high beams should be avoided.

How to Deal with Clear Coat Scratches on Cars?

After being scratched, especially if the scratch reaches the primer, it is advisable to go to a repair shop for touch-up painting as soon as possible, and avoid exposing the car body to rain to prevent rust. It is recommended to keep a touch-up pen of the same color for minor scratches in inconspicuous areas. Although there might be some color difference, it saves a lot of expenses. For scratches, you can cleverly cover them with car stickers or decorative plates, which is both cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing. Many insurance companies now offer zero-deductible policies, which you may consider purchasing. This way, any scratches can be directly taken to the repair shop.

What Causes Severe Vibration When the Air Conditioning is Turned On in a Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle experiences severe vibration when the air conditioning is turned on due to a dirty throttle body and insufficient engine power. Insufficient engine power: When the engine power is low, high idle speed indicates that the compressor is working. When the compressor is not operating, the idle speed drops, and the steering wheel does not vibrate. When the air conditioning is turned on during normal driving, the increased load from the compressor causes the engine speed to decrease, resulting in noticeable vehicle vibration. To address this issue, manufacturers typically install an engine idle speed boost system for air conditioning. This system increases the engine speed to the required range when the air conditioning compressor is active. Dirty throttle body: A dirty throttle body affects engine performance. Turning on the air conditioning under these conditions further increases the engine idle load, leading to steering wheel vibration. Cleaning the throttle body can prevent this issue. The vibration caused by air conditioning use, based on current vehicle conditions, is likely due to a dirty throttle body. It is recommended to have it cleaned at a repair shop. According to current vehicle control technology and maintenance cases, this is a common issue. Throttle carbon buildup is primarily caused by the engine control unit's characteristics, as well as factors such as low temperatures, low-speed driving, short-distance trips, and frequent starts. The noise from the air conditioning system is normal compressor operation, and no other issues are likely present. The engine drives the air conditioning compressor to provide cooling, which is a heavy load for the engine. When the air conditioning is turned on, the engine must also power the compressor, leading to noticeable power loss and increased vibration. This effect is more pronounced at idle speed. Increasing the idle speed slightly may improve the situation, though it will result in higher fuel consumption.
