First, firmly engage the handbrake. When starting the car, press the brake pedal with your right foot before starting the engine, then shift to D gear or a low gear. Release the brake and place your right foot on the accelerator pedal. Gradually increase the throttle while slowly releasing the handbrake with your right hand. When going downhill, use a low gear, either 1st or 2nd gear. Do not press the accelerator pedal; let the car descend by inertia, but keep your right foot on the brake pedal to control the speed.

Does the Edge need spark plug replacement at 60,000 kilometers?

The Edge requires spark plug replacement at 60,000 kilometers. Steps for spark plug replacement: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the high-voltage ignition wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. During removal, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, then use the socket to tighten further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the firing order and secure the cover. Spark plug replacement intervals: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended between 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. Always refer to the owner's manual. For reference, follow these maintenance standards: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Great Wall Pao Commercial Edition diesel model?

When the needle is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient. The maintenance of the fuel tank is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for any oil leakage at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and steam valves, also check if the ventilation holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the fuel tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving.

What grade of gasoline should the Land Cruiser use?

The Land Cruiser is best suited for 95-octane gasoline, as this allows the engine to perform better and extends its service life. However, in special circumstances, 92-octane gasoline can also be used. Determining factors for gasoline selection in cars: The grade of gasoline a car should use depends on the engine's compression ratio. Generally, engines with a compression ratio above 10 should use 95-octane gasoline, those with a compression ratio between 9-10 can use either 92 or 95-octane gasoline, and those with a compression ratio below 9 can use 92-octane gasoline. Definition of gasoline octane ratings: Gasoline octane ratings represent the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock properties to those of standard gasoline. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. Higher octane ratings are not necessarily better; the appropriate gasoline grade should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio.
