The differences between intercooled turbocharging and turbocharging are as follows: 1. Different Applications: Application of Intercooled Turbocharging: The outlet temperature of the engine turbocharger also increases with the rise in pressure, and the increase in temperature inversely limits the improvement of air density. To further enhance air density, it is necessary to lower the temperature of the pressurized air. Application of Turbocharging: It is not only compact, lightweight, and powerful but also reduces the cost per unit of power. Therefore, turbocharging technology is not only widely used in diesel engines but also extended to gasoline engines, serving as an important technical means to improve internal combustion engines. 2. Different Functions: Function of Intercooled Turbocharging: The intercooled turbocharging system usually does not operate. Only when the vehicle is fully loaded or reaches a certain speed can the superiority of intercooled turbocharging be truly demonstrated. Function of Turbocharging: The main role of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. After installing a turbocharger, the maximum power of an engine can increase by 40% or even more compared to when it is not equipped with a turbocharger.

How to Turn Off ECO Mode?

ECO mode can be turned off by switching the driving mode using the Drive Mode button inside the vehicle. ECO mode is an economical driving mode designed to: during vehicle movement, comprehensively analyze and judge factors affecting fuel consumption such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel amount to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Situations where ECO mode does not function: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the energy-saving mode automatically deactivates; 2. During idle parking or when in N, P gear or manual mode; 3. When overcoming certain resistance and requiring high torque output, the ECU prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode does not operate.

Can C1 be changed to C2 for the driving test?

If you have registered for C1 at the driving school and want to switch to C2, it is possible. If you have already passed the second subject of C1, you can apply to the driving school to switch to C2. After completing the relevant procedures and paying the price difference, you can proceed. After switching to C2, you need to pass the third and fourth subjects to obtain the C2 driver's license. It is important to note that while a C1 license can be converted to a C2 license, a C2 license cannot be directly converted to a C1 license during training. You must re-register for C1. The C2 driver's license is only valid for driving small and micro automatic passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles (automatic vehicles with no more than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters). The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The C1 license covers all vehicle types under C2, C3, and C4, including small and micro passenger cars, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro specialized operation vehicles. Both C1 and C2 require passing the first, second, third, and fourth subjects. The first and fourth subjects have the same content, while the biggest difference between the second and third subjects is that C1 is for manual transmission, and C2 is for automatic transmission. After obtaining a C2 license, you can also upgrade to a C1 license, provided you meet three conditions: You must wait until the C2 license has been held for at least one year before applying for the C1 upgrade. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," if you already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and wish to add a permitted vehicle type, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before applying. When applying, you must fill out an application form and submit the following documents: proof of identity, a medical certificate issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at the regimental level or above, and the current motor vehicle driver's license. The specific test items for C1 are as follows: The first subject includes: road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. The second subject includes: reversing into a parking space, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. (Some cities may have additional items.) The third subject (road driving skills) includes: preparing to drive, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. The fourth subject (safe and civilized driving knowledge) includes: safe and civilized driving requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Differences between C1 and C2: Permitted vehicle types differ. The C1 license covers small manual transmission vehicles, including C2's small automatic transmission vehicles. However, the C2 license for small automatic transmission vehicles does not permit driving C1's small manual transmission vehicles. Registration prices differ. For C2 training, automatic transmission vehicles are used. These vehicles are not only more expensive but also more prone to breakdowns, consume more fuel, and require higher maintenance costs. Therefore, the registration fee for C2 is higher than that for C1. Test difficulty differs. For C1 and C2, the first and fourth subjects are the same, but the second and third subjects are relatively easier for C2. For example, the second subject for C2 does not include stopping and starting on a slope.
