Different vehicle models have varying cold start RPM values due to differences in engines. The cold start RPM for engines typically ranges between 1,000 and 1,400 RPM. Generally, the idle speed ranges from 500 to 850 RPM, while the instantaneous idle speed during a cold start is around 1,500 to 2,000 RPM. Once the engine coolant temperature returns to 90 degrees, the idle speed will stabilize within the specified range. Additional information about car idling is as follows: 1. There is a high idle process after a cold start, which is more noticeable in winter. This phenomenon is controlled by the vehicle's onboard computer (in vehicles with electronic throttle control systems). 2. When the engine reaches a certain temperature, the idle speed will return to normal. This helps accelerate the engine temperature to normal operating conditions during a cold start.

How much should the car shake during hill start before it can move off?

During hill start, the car needs to shake to the semi-engaged clutch state. The clutch semi-engagement refers to the unstable connection working state of the clutch, where the driver depresses the clutch pedal, gradually reducing the pressure of the clutch pressure plate, causing the driving plate and driven plate to be in a state of simultaneous rotation and slipping. Relevant information about the clutch is as follows: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Friction clutch: The friction clutch is the most widely used and historically oldest type of clutch. It basically consists of four parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing mechanism, and the operating mechanism.

How deep is the sidewall scratch allowed for Michelin tires?

For scratches that are not severe and do not damage the cord layer, meaning the tire's structure is not compromised by the scratch and there is no air leakage, repair or replacement may not be necessary. However, for safety reasons, it is still advisable to have the tire inspected at a professional repair shop and perform a dynamic balance test on the wheel with sidewall scratches. Below are some precautions regarding tire purchase and usage: 1. When purchasing tires, always check the production date: Avoid buying tires with production dates that are too old. Tires are rubber products and can age even if not used. 2. During regular use, frequently check tire pressure and the surface for any damage: The tire sidewall is relatively fragile, and if it is cut or punctured, it cannot be repaired. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage driven within those four years is low.

R: Represents the tire type code, where R stands for radial tire. 4. 17: Represents the rim diameter, indicating the tire is suitable for 17-inch rims. 5. 99: Represents the load index of the tire, which is the maximum weight the tire can bear. 99 corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 775KG. 6. H: Represents the speed rating of the tire, which is the maximum speed the tire can handle. H corresponds to a maximum speed of 210KM/H.

What are On-Demand 4WD, Part-Time 4WD, and Full-Time 4WD?

Here is the relevant introduction to Part-Time 4WD, Full-Time 4WD, and On-Demand 4WD: 1. Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive: This means the driver can choose between four-wheel drive (4WD) and two-wheel drive (2WD). The switching mode is usually controlled via a knob or lever. 2. Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive: Unlike Part-Time 4WD, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive (AWD) means all four wheels are always driven, whether driving straight or turning. It also generally allows adjusting the power distribution ratio between the front and rear drive wheels based on driving conditions. 3. On-Demand Four-Wheel Drive: This refers to a drive system where the vehicle automatically uses two-wheel drive when 4WD is not needed and switches to four-wheel drive when necessary.
