The ground clearance of the Kia K4 is 131mm. The chassis serves to support and install the engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall structure, receiving the engine's power to enable vehicle movement and ensure normal driving. The chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running gear, the steering system, and the braking system. The Kia K4 is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4720mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1465mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the Kia K4 features a large-sized grille decorated with crisscrossed chrome bars in a window-style pattern, integrated with the bumper to create a bold front fascia.

I've been driving a Kia K4 for several years, with a ground clearance of about 140mm. This height is quite stable for city driving, and the body doesn't shake too much when going over speed bumps. However, when encountering rough roads, I have to drive slowly to avoid accidentally scraping the undercarriage. Tire wear or suspension system issues might affect the height—for example, after switching to larger rims, it felt slightly higher. I recommend checking tire pressure and shock absorbers regularly, about every six months, to maintain smooth handling. The low ground clearance is beginner-friendly and makes parking easier, but during long trips, it's best to avoid rugged terrain to prevent fatigue from excessive bumpiness. Overall, it's reasonably designed, suitable for daily commuting and general family use.

How to Use the Heated Mirror Function?

There are two ways to activate the heated mirror function. One is combined with the electric mirror adjustment knob—simply rotate the knob. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. The rotary knob style is more common in German cars, while the button style is frequently seen in Japanese and American cars. When driving in rain, snow, or foggy conditions, the mirrors may become unclear due to moisture or frost. In such cases, turning on the heated mirror function will clear the rain or fog within a few minutes. It is recommended to ensure the vehicle is running when using this feature to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting.

Why Should Left Lane Yield to Right Lane When Changing Lanes?

Changing lanes left yielding to right has the following reasons: Easier vehicle control when yielding from left: Changing from left to right means moving from a fast lane to a slow lane, which requires deceleration and is easier to control the vehicle. Changing from right to left means moving from a slow lane to a fast lane, which requires acceleration and increases the difficulty of vehicle control. Principle of right-side traffic: China implements the principle of right-side traffic, where drivers are positioned on the left side of the vehicle. If a collision occurs between left and right vehicles, the driver on the right side is more likely to be injured. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting personal safety, the right-side vehicle should be given the right of way.

Is it easy to repair a transmission oil leak caused by a stone impact?

Whether a transmission oil leak caused by a stone impact is easy to repair depends on the extent of the collision. Below is an introduction to the situation of transmission oil leakage after being hit by a stone: Oil leakage at the front and rear oil seals: Oil seeps from multiple areas such as the front and rear cylinder head covers, front and rear valve lifter chambers, oil filter, and oil pan gasket, but no obvious leakage point can be found. In this case, the crankcase ventilation system should be inspected, the crankcase ventilation pipes should be cleaned, and the PCV valve should be checked for poor performance due to carbon buildup and gumming. Oil pressure: If oil still leaks from the oil filter and some oil pipe joints after tightening, attention should be paid to checking whether the oil pressure is too high and whether the oil pressure relief valve is malfunctioning.

What are the consequences of not repairing a damaged transmission flywheel?

It will severely affect the lifespan of the transmission's first shaft bearing, leading to bearing looseness, and in severe cases, abnormal noises from the transmission when in neutral, with the noise disappearing when the clutch pedal is depressed. Additional information is as follows: The role of the flywheel: A large inertia wheel-shaped energy accumulator installed on the machine's rotating shaft. When the machine's speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy increases, storing energy; when the machine's speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy decreases, releasing energy. The flywheel can be used to reduce speed fluctuations during mechanical operation. The function of the flywheel: To store part of the energy from the engine's power stroke to overcome the resistance of other strokes, ensuring uniform rotation of the crankshaft; to connect the engine and the vehicle's transmission system through the clutch installed on the flywheel; and to facilitate engine starting with the engagement of a ring gear with the starter motor.

Can You Still Drive When the Transmission Warning Light Comes On?

Generally, if the transmission warning light comes on without any particularly noticeable issues, you can still drive cautiously at low speeds. However, if there are obvious transmission problems such as severe abnormal noises, intense shaking, or engine smoke, you must avoid driving on the road. It's best to contact a repair shop and wait for assistance. Transmission Fault Inspection Locations: Check the engine idle speed, inspect and adjust the throttle cable and throttle position sensor, and examine the vacuum hose of the vacuum-type throttle valve. Conduct a road test to check if the automatic transmission shifts too late, as delayed shifting is a common cause of harsh gear changes. Common Transmission Faults and Symptoms: Transmission slipping: While driving, you may hear the engine revving without a noticeable increase in vehicle speed when accelerating. Transmission fluid leaks: You may feel that the car struggles to start, and although the engine RPM increases when pressing the accelerator, there is no significant acceleration.

What's the matter with water in the transmission?

The treatment methods for water entering the transmission are as follows: Clear water entry: Open the bottom of the transmission to pour out the water and oil, then add new gear oil. If the vehicle is driven or operated after water enters, the oil and water will emulsify, making it difficult to separate them. In this case, the transmission needs to be removed and opened for cleaning. Dirty water or water with sediment entry: If sediment enters the bearings, especially the input shaft bearing, all components inside the transmission must be disassembled and cleaned. The transmission mainly refers to the car's transmission, which is divided into manual and automatic types. The manual transmission is mainly composed of gears and shafts, generating variable speed and torque through different gear combinations, while the automatic transmission (AT) consists of a torque converter, planetary gears, a hydraulic torque variation system, and a hydraulic control system.
