The engine model used in the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is 4A15J2, with a maximum horsepower of 177 hp, maximum power of 130 KW, maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and maximum torque of 270 Nm. The Trumpchi Shadow Leopard's engine is from the GAC Trumpchi brand, a self-developed engine expansion, produced at the Yichang factory. For daily maintenance of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the correct way to use the auto start-stop function?

Here is an introduction on how to use the auto start-stop function: 1. Turn off start-stop in traffic jams. Stop-and-go traffic conditions are not suitable for auto start-stop. Not only does the engine shake upon restarting, but the fuel-saving effect is also negligible, as repeated starts and stops not only increase fuel consumption but also add to the engine's burden. 2. Turn off start-stop on slopes. When the engine stops and restarts on a slope, it takes a brief moment to restart, meaning it cannot immediately provide braking force. This can cause the vehicle to roll when the brake is released, increasing the risk of danger. 3. Turn off start-stop when using air conditioning. When the engine stops, the air conditioning also stops cooling to protect the battery, leaving only the fan running. 4. Turn off start-stop when wading through water. When driving through water at low speeds, stepping on the brake activates the auto start-stop, causing the engine to stop. This creates negative pressure in the exhaust pipe, potentially drawing water into it. Restarting the engine under these conditions can cause severe damage. 5. Turn off start-stop during low-speed parking. Although the start-stop function does not activate when the vehicle is in reverse, repeatedly adjusting the car's position—especially when parallel parking or maneuvering into a parking spot—can trigger the start-stop function with each adjustment, leading to frequent engine restarts.

Can a Car Be Sold During the Loan Period?

A vehicle under loan cannot be traded or sold; all loans must be repaid, and the mortgage registration must be canceled before any transaction can occur. During the loan repayment period, the owner does not possess full ownership of the vehicle—the ownership temporarily belongs to the mortgage institution, and the borrower only has the right to use the vehicle. Below are legal methods to sell a mortgaged car: 1. First, contact a buyer and negotiate with them to advance the remaining loan amount. Then, retrieve the vehicle registration certificate, vehicle qualification certificate, and purchase contract from the bank, and proceed to the vehicle management office for the transfer with the vehicle. 2. Visit the bank with the buyer to complete a mortgage transfer agreement. This process requires providing the original and a copy of a valid ID, the vehicle mortgage contract, the vehicle license, followed by fingerprinting and signing. The vehicle's source must be legitimate, and its information can be verified at a 4S shop or through the traffic police vehicle system. The new owner can then use the vehicle license to purchase insurance from an insurance provider.
