The minimum ground clearance of the Fista chassis is approximately 150mm. The minimum ground clearance reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground without collision. Taking the 2021 Fista as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4660mm, width 1790mm, height 1425mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, a trunk capacity of 475 liters, and a curb weight of 1365kg. The 2021 Fista is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 204PS, a maximum power of 150kW, a maximum torque of 265Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

As a Fiesta owner, I specifically measured with a tape measure. Under no-load conditions, the lowest point of the chassis is about 15 cm, which is at the bend of the exhaust pipe. It's completely sufficient for city driving and can handle ordinary curbs. But a reminder: with five people and luggage, the ground clearance can shrink to around 13 cm, so be extra careful with steep slopes to avoid scraping the underside. Once on a rural dirt road, I scraped the exhaust pipe guard, so I later installed a resin underbody guard myself.

Can You Brake When Making a U-Turn?

You can brake when making a U-turn. Situations where U-turns are prohibited are as follows: U-turns are prohibited where there are 'No U-turn' signs or 'No Left Turn' signs: If there is a sign prohibiting U-turns, then U-turns are not allowed at that intersection. The action of making a U-turn is an extension of a left turn, so if there is a 'No Left Turn' sign at an intersection, U-turns are also prohibited there. U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If making a U-turn is permitted at an intersection, you must cross the crosswalk before turning around; do not make a U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, if there is no sign permitting left turns, U-turns are not allowed. U-turns are prohibited within the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any directional signs, vehicles can only make U-turns from the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: Do not make a U-turn at a solid yellow line. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before turning around. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 demerit points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue driving to the next exit to leave the highway; never attempt an illegal U-turn out of recklessness.

Can Plastic Car Bodies Be Waxed?

Generally, only painted plastic car bodies, such as bumpers, can be waxed, while unpainted ones cannot. Plastic Car Bodies: In a car's exterior, plastic parts include the front and rear bumpers, as well as the deflectors and fenders. For example, bumpers are made of plastic only in the deformation zones, primarily to reduce impact forces and protect pedestrians and the vehicle. The fenders, located at the bottom of the car, prevent damage from gravel and stones kicked up during high-speed driving. Waxing: The primary purpose of car waxing is waterproofing and protection against acid rain. The wax reduces water droplet adhesion on the car body by 50% to 90%. It also protects against high temperatures and UV rays, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint to fade and age. The wax film reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint aging. Lastly, car wax prevents static electricity and dust accumulation.

Will the exhaust pipe temperature sensor still consume urea if it is damaged?

The exhaust pipe temperature sensor will no longer consume urea if it is damaged. Introduction to the automotive nitrogen-oxygen sensor: The nitrogen-oxygen sensor, abbreviated as NOX sensor, is used to detect the nitrogen oxide content in the engine exhaust. Working principle: Basic working principle of the nitrogen-oxygen sensor: Under certain conditions, the oxygen concentration difference on both sides of the zirconia generates a potential difference, and the greater the concentration difference, the greater the potential difference. The oxygen content in the atmosphere is 21%. The exhaust gas from rich mixture combustion contains virtually no oxygen, while the exhaust gas from lean mixture combustion or misfire contains more oxygen, but still much less than the oxygen in the atmosphere. Under high temperature and platinum catalysis, negatively charged oxygen ions adsorb on the inner and outer surfaces of the zirconia sleeve. Since there is more oxygen in the atmosphere than in the exhaust gas, the side of the sleeve connected to the atmosphere adsorbs more negative ions than the exhaust side, creating an electromotive force due to the ion concentration difference.

Should You Press the Clutch or Release the Handbrake First in a Manual Transmission?

When starting a manual transmission car, you should first press the clutch and engage the gear, then release the handbrake. Precautions for driving a manual transmission: Before starting, check if the doors are fully closed, adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seatbelt, inspect the parking brake and gear position, press the clutch, start the engine, shift to first gear, partially release the clutch until you feel the car has forward momentum, gently press the accelerator, and when you feel a more obvious forward force, quickly release the handbrake, continue to apply appropriate throttle, and start smoothly. Practicing a few times on a slope without traffic will make it easy to master. Pressing the clutch and engaging the gear before releasing the handbrake is safer: After engaging the gear, the power transmission path of the gearbox will be connected, and the torque at this moment is very high. If the brake is not properly applied, the car may suddenly lurch forward, which is very dangerous. The handbrake serves as a safety measure.

Does gasoline evaporate faster in summer?

Gasoline will evaporate in summer. Properties of gasoline: Gasoline is a petroleum distillation product, similar to kerosene, diesel, and asphalt, but with shorter carbon chains and smaller molecular weight, making it highly volatile. Weather factors: Higher temperatures in summer increase the internal cohesion of gasoline molecules, leading to accelerated evaporation. However, this evaporation amount is negligible. Using air conditioning in cars during summer generally also increases fuel consumption. Fuel tank factors: After parking in summer, the volume of gasoline vapor in the tank increases, causing some to escape. Gasoline in the tank experiences thermal expansion and contraction, leading to evaporation issues. Solutions: Vehicles are equipped with a carbon canister containing activated carbon, controlled by an electromagnetic valve. When parked, gasoline vapor is vented through the carbon canister to the atmosphere, where it is adsorbed by the activated carbon. When the engine is started, the carbon canister connects to the intake manifold via the electromagnetic valve, allowing the gasoline vapor to be drawn into the engine cylinders for combustion.

What are the reasons for the failure of folding rearview mirrors?

The reasons for the failure of folding rearview mirrors include excessively low temperatures, poor lubrication, increased resistance due to dust accumulation in the extension mechanism, and motor malfunction. The folding function of rearview mirrors allows them to be folded and retracted when necessary, and it is divided into manual and electric types. Vehicles equipped with electric folding rearview mirrors have a button inside the car; pressing it will fold both rearview mirrors. Some vehicles can also fold the rearview mirrors by pressing the lock button after locking the car. The function of automatic rearview mirrors: They can increase the passing space when vehicles meet on narrow roads and protect the rearview mirrors from damage. The solutions for automatic rearview mirrors that fail to unfold: Check the fuse and switch condition of the folding rearview mirror circuit; inspect the working condition of the rearview mirror motor—if there is no vibration, it indicates a motor malfunction; if the motor vibrates but the rearview mirror does not move, it means the gear mechanism for opening and closing is damaged and needs to be replaced.
