I've been driving a Mercedes for several years, and that ES button is actually the E/S button. I always find it near the steering wheel, and with a gentle press, I can switch between Economy mode and Sport mode. In Economy mode (E), the car drives smoothly with gentle throttle response, making it especially suitable for city traffic jams or long highway trips. It feels like it consumes less fuel, which is easier on the wallet. Switching to Sport mode (S), the car immediately becomes more aggressive, with faster gear shifts and quicker acceleration, especially when driving on mountain roads during weekend getaways. A single press doubles the driving fun and boosts confidence when overtaking. In fact, this button doesn’t just adjust the transmission logic—it also affects throttle sensitivity, allowing the car to optimize performance based on road conditions. Over time, I’ve found that switching modes appropriately helps protect the engine by avoiding constant high-load operation. Plus, it’s so simple to use that even beginners can get the hang of it quickly. I recommend trying E mode more often during daily commutes—it’s both fuel-efficient and safe.

How Long Does the BYD F0 Last?

BYD F0 can be used for 10 years or even longer. The lifespan of a car largely depends on the owner's driving habits and maintenance. With proper care and no major accidents, it can last around 10 years. In developed countries, the average lifespan of a car is 7 to 12 years, while similar empirical data is not yet available in China. Signs of a failing car battery are as follows: 1. Difficulty Starting the Car: Under normal circumstances, if the car suddenly becomes difficult to start, it may be a sign that the battery is about to fail. 2. Dimming Lights at Idle Speed: For example, when waiting at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights suddenly dim. This is because the engine's charging power decreases at idle speed. 3. Battery Warning Light Illuminates: When the battery warning light comes on, it alerts the owner to have the battery inspected and repaired at a service center. 4. Normal Driving but Occasionally No Power After Parking and Restarting: This occurs because, as the battery nears the end of its life, the starting current is insufficient, leading to increased oxidation at the battery terminals and resulting in a complete power loss.

Is There Any Impact If a Piece of the Car Underbody Protection Plate Falls Off?

For safety reasons, it is advisable to get it repaired immediately. Scratching the car underbody can cause damage to the vehicle. The car underbody itself has a certain level of impact resistance, and if it's just a minor scrape, it usually won't affect the vehicle's performance. Below is some relevant information about underbody armor: 1. Introduction to Underbody Armor: The technical name for car underbody armor is automobile underbody anti-collision, anti-rust, and sound insulation coating ("UNDERCOATING" primer), a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating. It is non-toxic, has high coverage and adhesion, and can be sprayed on exposed parts of the vehicle such as the underbody, wheel hubs, fuel tank, lower body panels, and trunk, quickly drying to form a strong, elastic protective layer. 2. Functions of Underbody Armor: Underbody armor can effectively protect the underbody from road gravel impacts, prevent minor scrapes and friction, guard against corrosion from acids, alkalis, and salts on the underbody metal plates, prevent loosening of underbody screws, reduce noise transmission while driving to enhance driving quietness, and block heat conduction from the underbody metal plates, keeping the cabin warm in winter and cool in summer.

Why was the Toyota E'Z discontinued?

Toyota E'Z discontinuation reasons: The vibration filtration and overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance were really poor, and the interior was relatively basic. The main reason for its discontinuation was its positioning issue. It was marketed as an MPV, but it wasn't comfortable when fully loaded with seven people. As a hatchback, it lacked the compactness and agility typical of hatchbacks. As a van, it couldn't match the cargo capacity of the Wuling Hongguang. Additionally, its price was quite high. Here are the specific details about the Toyota E'Z: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Toyota E'Z was positioned as a compact MPV, with dimensions of 4450mm × 1790mm × 1640mm and a wheelbase of 2780mm. 2. Powertrain: It offered three engine options: 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L. The 1.6L engine had a maximum output of 90kW and a peak torque of 154Nm. The 1.8L engine delivered a maximum output of 103kW and a peak torque of 173Nm. The 2.0L engine produced a maximum output of 107kW and a peak torque of 187Nm, paired with a CVT transmission system. 3. Features: Standard features across all models included VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), TRC (Traction Control), HAC (Hill-start Assist Control), front side airbags, and a driver's knee airbag.

Can Automatic Rearview Mirrors Be Adjusted Manually by Hand?

Automatic rearview mirrors have gear locking mechanisms and cannot be adjusted directly by hand. Automatic rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver, to prevent traffic safety accidents, and to ensure personal safety, countries around the world have mandated that cars must be equipped with automatic rearview mirrors, and all automatic rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Additional Information: 1. Rearview Mirror Functions: Rearview mirror folding functions are divided into two types: manual folding and automatic folding. Manual folding is very inconvenient and also unsafe. Electrically folding rearview mirrors are more common, allowing drivers to fold them via buttons inside the car. Folded rearview mirrors save significant space, which is particularly useful when parking. 2. Rearview Mirror Roles: The rearview mirror switch can adjust the car's left and right rearview mirrors, and there is also a rearview mirror folding switch. The rearview mirror folding function is mostly installed in mid-to-high-end cars. While driving, drivers can continuously monitor the car's condition through the left and right rearview mirrors to prevent accidents. Rearview mirrors are also the most vulnerable parts of a car, prone to scratches during driving or parking.

What is the ground clearance of the 2021 Yidong Plus?

The ground clearance of the 2021 Yidong Plus is 160mm. The minimum ground clearance of the 2021 Yidong Plus refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. Generally, the higher the ground clearance of the 2021 Yidong Plus, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The 2021 Yidong Plus is positioned as a compact car, but its actual performance reaches the level of an entry-level B-segment car. The dimensions of the 2021 Yidong Plus are 4730mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1505mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Typically, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the 2021 Yidong Plus is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the vehicle. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For those frequently traveling to rural areas or driving on rough terrains, a higher ground clearance may be preferred to avoid scraping or damaging the chassis.

Where is the circuit board located in a car?

Circuit boards refer to the computers in modern vehicles. Contemporary cars contain numerous computers, ranging from as few as 3-4 to as many as 4510, installed in various parts of the vehicle body. Below is relevant information about circuit boards: 1. Circuit Boards Circuit boards are also known by various names: ceramic circuit boards, alumina ceramic circuit boards, aluminum nitride ceramic circuit boards, printed wiring boards, PCB boards, aluminum substrate boards, high-frequency boards, thick copper boards, impedance boards, PCBs, ultra-thin printed wiring boards, ultra-thin circuit boards, printed (copper etching technology) circuit boards, etc. Circuit boards enable circuit miniaturization and visualization, playing a crucial role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of electrical appliance layouts. 2. Classification Printed wiring boards are categorized by the number of layers into three main types: single-sided boards, double-sided boards, and multi-layer boards. First, single-sided boards: on the most basic PCBs, components are concentrated on one side, while the wiring is on the other side. Since the wiring appears only on one side, these PCBs are called single-sided boards. Single-sided boards are usually simple to manufacture and low-cost, but their drawback is that they cannot be used for overly complex products. Double-sided boards are an extension of single-sided boards. When single-layer wiring cannot meet the needs of electronic products, double-sided boards are used. Both sides have copper cladding and wiring, and vias can be used to connect the circuits between the two layers, forming the required network connections. Multi-layer boards are printed boards with three or more conductive graphic layers separated by insulating materials and laminated together, with the conductive graphics interconnected as required. Multi-layer printed wiring boards are the result of the development of electronic information technology towards high speed, multifunction, large capacity, small size, thinness, and lightweight. Printed wiring boards can also be classified by characteristics into flexible boards (FPC), rigid boards (PCB), and rigid-flex boards (FPCB).
