The correct method for starting a car is: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the ACC position, wait for 2 to 3 seconds to allow the main power relay contacts to stabilize and power the first set of components that need electricity; 2. Continue turning the key to the ON position, wait for 6 to 10 seconds for the fuel pump relay to engage, and after all sensors have adjusted their states, turn the key to START. Once the engine is running continuously, return the key to ON, allowing the onboard computer to automatically adjust to the optimal position and parameters. Vehicle Dynamic Tips: 1. Skipping the self-check process before ignition for a prolonged period can not only damage the battery and engine, disrupt electronic devices, but also pose many safety hazards; 2. The self-check process by the onboard computer typically takes 6 to 10 seconds. During this time, you can fasten your seatbelt and remind the front passenger to do the same, then proceed with ignition and start driving slowly.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Ford Explorer?

Ford Explorer tire pressure is around 2.4-2.5bar. Normal tire pressure reference standards: According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, standard tires are around 2.4-2.5bar, while reinforced tires are around 2.8-2.9bar. In winter, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure, while in summer, it is generally advisable to keep the pressure at the lower limit of the standard, about 0.1bar lower than the standard, to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Daily tire pressure precautions: Most cars are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that alerts drivers to tire leaks and abnormal tire pressure to ensure driving safety. It is important to pay attention to the tire pressure monitoring light on the instrument panel, as both excessively low and high tire pressure can affect driving performance and increase tire wear.

What is the ground clearance of the Ford Edge?

When fully loaded, the Ford Edge has a minimum ground clearance of 160mm. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Minimum ground clearance: The distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the level ground when the car is parked on a horizontal surface under rated full load conditions. 2. Safety implications: A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability; a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or uneven surfaces but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability.
