Car driving RPM between 1000 and 3500 is appropriate. Here are the relevant introductions: Introduction to car driving RPM: The higher the engine RPM, the more work is done per unit time, so the power is greater. However, the higher the RPM, the faster the entire cycle speed. Fuel is discharged without sufficient time for complete combustion. Therefore, fuel consumption will increase several times. So higher RPM is not always better. RPM mainly depends on speed and gear. The ideal state of car RPM: During car driving, try to avoid letting the engine work below 2000 RPM. If the RPM is too low, the engine will feel underpowered. When the engine is at low RPM with excessive load, it can cause damage to the engine and easily lead to carbon deposits.

What is the ground clearance of the new Honda CR-V?

In an unloaded state, the ground clearance of the Honda CR-V is 198mm for the two-wheel-drive version and 208mm for the four-wheel-drive version. Consumers can choose according to their needs. Here is the relevant introduction to ground clearance: 1. Concept: Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid object at the bottom of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a vehicle varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. Ground clearance is divided into unloaded and loaded conditions. The ground clearance when loaded is also called the minimum ground clearance, which refers to the shortest distance between the lowest protruding position of the vehicle's chassis and the ground when the vehicle is parked horizontally under the rated full-load condition. 2. Characteristics: Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load. The heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Vehicles with smaller ground clearance have a lower center of gravity and poorer passability. Vehicles with larger ground clearance have better passability. A higher ground clearance not only provides better passability on gravel or mountainous roads but also prevents water from entering the exhaust pipe when crossing waterlogged roads, making it easier to park on curbs or parking spaces with height differences. The ground clearance parameter is determined during the vehicle's design phase. Consumers only need to consider their own driving environment when choosing a car and then slightly consider the ground clearance.

What is Horsepower Achievement Rate?

Here is an introduction about horsepower achievement rate: 1. The higher the "horsepower achievement rate": the more it proves that the car manufacturer has not exaggerated the specifications. 2. Example of horsepower achievement rate: The Lexus ES is equipped with a 2.0L engine with an official horsepower of 173, but the actual measured horsepower achievement rate is 83.8%, meaning the actual usable power is only about 145 horsepower; the Audi A4L 40TFSI is equipped with a 2.0T engine with an official horsepower of 190, and the horsepower achievement rate is 98.9%, meaning the actual power is about 188 horsepower, which is quite good.

Can Temporary License Plates Still Be Used After Obtaining Official Ones?

After obtaining official license plates, temporary ones can no longer be used. Failure to promptly install the newly issued vehicle plates may result in a 12-point deduction from the driver's license and a fine of 200 yuan. The differences between official and temporary license plates are as follows: 1. Validity Period: Official plates are long-term, essentially lasting the vehicle's lifetime, while temporary plates are valid for 5 to 15 days, with a maximum of 30 days. 2. Installation Method and Position: Official plates are securely mounted with anti-theft fasteners at designated front and rear positions of the vehicle, whereas temporary plates must be affixed to the inside of the front and rear windshields as per regulations. 3. Material: Official plates are made of aluminum alloy, while temporary plates are paper-based.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Cracked Windshield Caused by a Stone?

You cannot claim insurance for a cracked windshield caused by a stone. Below is a detailed introduction to the coverage of vehicle damage insurance: 1. The vehicle is involved in a collision or overturns. 2. The vehicle catches fire or explodes. 3. The vehicle is damaged due to the collapse or falling of external objects, or the vehicle falls parallel while driving. 4. The vehicle suffers damage from natural disasters such as lightning, storms, tornadoes, heavy rain, floods, tsunamis, ground collapse, ice collapse, cliff collapse, avalanches, hail, mudslides, or landslides. 5. The insured vehicle is damaged due to the above natural disasters while being transported on a ferry, provided that the driver is on board to take care of the vehicle.

Can a Motorcycle's Cylinder Scoring Be Repaired?

Motorcycle cylinder scoring can be repaired. Cylinder scoring refers to varying degrees of adhesive wear that occur under lubricated conditions. In mild cases, it damages the cylinder liner and piston components. In severe instances, it can lead to catastrophic engine damage such as cylinder seizure, piston or connecting rod breakage, or even machine destruction, potentially causing major accidents. Therefore, immediate action is required when encountering cylinder scoring in motorcycles. The main causes of motorcycle cylinder scoring are: 1. Insufficient Break-in: High-speed riding during the initial engine break-in period can cause cylinder scoring. Before an engine can operate freely, the mating surfaces must undergo initial break-in to remove protruding peaks, ensuring smooth surfaces and even force distribution. Thus, new engines must undergo a certain degree of break-in after assembly, and users should avoid prolonged high-speed riding within the first 1,000 to 2,000 km. 2. Piston Overheating: Localized abnormal expansion occurs when the piston overheats, causing deformation. This can temporarily or even permanently bind the piston rings in their grooves, preventing normal operation. The edges of the piston rings then directly contact and rub against the cylinder wall under extremely high unit pressure, losing their ability to seal combustion gases and leading to cylinder scoring. 3. Improper Piston Ring Clearance: Carbon buildup in the combustion chamber is often unavoidable during engine operation. As carbon accumulates in the piston ring grooves, it impedes ring movement, applying abnormal pressure that forces direct contact and friction between the rings and cylinder wall, resulting in cylinder scoring.
