There are two main types of ECO driving modes: active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. The main difference lies in the intelligent control of energy usage distribution and reminder guidance. Non-active ECO driving mode primarily serves as a reminder and guidance function, teaching drivers how to save fuel. Unlike the active ECO mode, it does not have a dedicated button to turn on or off. Active ECO driving mode can help save fuel when driving at an economical speed. Some vehicles can even control the air conditioning to save electricity. Active ECO mode usually has a dedicated control button, which the driver can turn on when needed. Generally, the ECO mode can be turned off when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N or P gear, or in manual mode. It is particularly important to note that there is no need to activate this mode during uphill driving.

What is an Intercity Express Train?

An Intercity Express Train generally refers to a high-frequency, quasi-commuter-style short-distance passenger train operating between two major cities that are relatively close to each other. These trains make either no intermediate stops or very few stops, and are equipped only with hard and soft seat carriages, without sleeper compartments. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Function of Intercity Express Trains: They serve as a railway transport system connecting cities, providing various services such as business travel and sightseeing for passengers. Generally speaking, intercity trains/railways can be considered the arteries of a country's rail transportation network. Since the development of railway technology, one of the earliest uses of railways has been transportation between cities. 2. The main differences between intercity trains and commuter trains or other rail transport systems are: 1) Longer transport distances (usually exceeding 200km); 2) Fewer stops; 3) Faster operating speeds; 4) More luxurious interior fittings, with overnight trains even featuring sleeper cars.

What to Do When the Dashboard Thermometer Light Comes On?

When the dashboard thermometer light comes on, it indicates that the water temperature is too high. It is recommended to stop the vehicle and check if there is water in the radiator, then promptly proceed to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Below is relevant information: Water Temperature Indicator Light: The water temperature indicator light primarily displays the temperature of the coolant inside the engine. It only lights up for a few seconds during the vehicle's self-check and remains off under normal conditions. What maintenance personnel often refer to as the engine "boiling over" means the coolant temperature has exceeded the specified value. In such cases, driving should be immediately halted for repairs. A lit thermometer indicates excessively high water temperature, and special attention must be paid to avoid further driving. Immediate maintenance and inspection are necessary to prevent significant damage to the engine.

How many kilometers can one liter of 92 gasoline run?

92 The number of kilometers that one liter of gasoline can run varies depending on the car. However, generally, a car consumes about 10 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers (on ordinary roads), so one liter of gasoline can run approximately 10 kilometers. Below is some information about gasoline: 1. Introduction and function: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, which can be used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and naphthenic hydrocarbons, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. 2. Classification: Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is divided into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on the octane number. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95.

Is it necessary to repair a slight dent in the fender?

It is necessary to repair a slight dent in the fender. Dent repair can be used, which will not cause any damage to the vehicle's paint. After the repair is completed, there is almost no impact. Compared to traditional sheet metal repair, it can prevent a decrease in the vehicle's resale value. Additional information: The function of the car fender: During the driving process, it prevents sand, gravel, and mud splashed by the wheels from reaching the bottom of the car body. Therefore, the materials used must be resistant to climate aging and have good formability. Some cars' front fenders are made of a certain elastic plastic material.

Will the Engine Stall When Braking in First Gear?

Braking directly will cause the engine to stall, but pressing the clutch before braking will not. Gear shifting tips: 1. Shift gears according to the car's speed: Generally, start in first gear and shift to second gear after driving a few meters; shift to third gear when the speed reaches above 20 mph but below 35 mph; shift to fourth gear when the speed reaches above 35 mph but below 45 mph; shift to fifth gear when the speed exceeds 45 mph. The above applies to standard five-speed transmission cars. For cars with six or more gears, you can upshift approximately every 15 mph increase in speed. Additionally, monitor the engine RPM during shifting; it's best to shift around 2500 RPM. 2. Familiarize yourself with the unique reverse gear engagement methods: Different vehicles have different ways to engage reverse gear. Some require pushing straight to the right and then pulling down; some have the reverse gear position further left than first gear, meaning you need to push one more position to the left before shifting forward; some require lifting a button under the gear lever with your middle and ring fingers before pushing left and forward; others require pressing the gear lever before pushing left and forward or right and backward. 3. Coordinate the clutch and throttle during shifting: Press the clutch fully, release the throttle pedal immediately, and then quickly shift to the desired gear. Release your hand from the gear lever (commonly known as the gear stick) immediately after shifting to avoid prolonged contact, which can damage the lever. 4. Master the correct hand position for shifting: Many drivers neglect proper hand positioning, sometimes shifting casually with just two or three fingers, which is neither standard nor safe. The correct hand position is to cover the head of the gear lever with your palm facing down, grip the lever firmly with all five fingers, and then shift. 5. Shift gears fully: Sometimes, after long drives, shifting becomes careless, and the clutch is released before the gear is fully engaged, which can severely damage the transmission. Always ensure the gear is fully engaged and the clutch is fully pressed when shifting. Generally, first gear is engaged by pushing left and then forward; second gear by pushing left and then down; third gear by pushing straight up from neutral; fourth gear by pushing straight down from neutral; and fifth gear by pushing straight right and then up.
