Car startup voltage is considered normal as long as it is not lower than 11V. Under normal circumstances, the battery voltage before starting the car is between 11.8V and 12.8V, and the battery voltage after starting is between 13.2V and 14.8V. Precautions for battery usage: Keep the battery clean and dry at all times, and ensure the vent holes are unobstructed. Do not use the starter continuously; each use should not exceed 5 seconds, with a rest period of 10 to 15 seconds between two startups. A fully charged battery should not be left in a state of insufficient charge for a long time; it should be charged regularly, otherwise it may lead to scrapping. The electrolyte level should be 10 to 15mm above the plates; if the level is too low, distilled water should be added promptly, not electrolyte. Consequences of motor voltage being too high or too low: Both excessively high or low voltage in the motor will cause overheating. When the motor operates at low voltage, both the speed and the impedance of the stator winding decrease. Since the reduction in voltage is less than the reduction in impedance, the current increases. Generally, the lower the voltage, the higher the current, the higher the temperature rise, and the greater the harm to the motor. If the motor operates at low voltage for a long time, measures should be taken to reduce the degree of harm. When the voltage drops by 10%, the motor output power should be reduced by 15%. The method to reduce output power depends on the working condition of the production machinery driven by the motor.

Will I be caught by the camera if I just passed through a red light that just turned on?

Passing through a red light that just turned on will be caught by the camera, as driving through an intersection when the red light just turns on is a violation of traffic rules. Red light traffic rules: When encountering a red light, vehicles cannot proceed straight or turn left, but they can turn right. At any intersection, right turns are not restricted by traffic lights. Green light traffic rules: When encountering a green light, vehicles can proceed straight, turn left, or turn right. Arrow signal traffic rules: When the arrow signal is green, vehicles can proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow on the traffic light. When the arrow signal is red, vehicles cannot proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow on the traffic light.

What is the fuel consumption of the Leopaard Black King Kong 2.4?

Leopaard Black King Kong 2.4 has a real fuel consumption of 13.74 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are the fuel consumption calculation formula and fuel-saving tips: Correct fuel consumption calculation formula: Fuel consumed ÷ Distance traveled × 100 = Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The data of fuel consumed is relatively difficult to obtain. Generally, a full tank is used as the initial data. After driving a certain distance, the tank is filled again, and the fuel amount provided by the gas station is taken as the final data. Fuel-saving tips: Idling for more than 1 minute consumes the same amount of fuel as starting the engine once. The fuel consumption of the engine idling for 5 minutes can allow the car to travel more than 1 kilometer.

What does HOLD mean in a car?

HOLD in a car refers to the auto hold function, which is used to control the switch for auto hold. Function of auto hold: Its function is to adjust the car to the most efficient driving state according to different road conditions. If driving on extremely poor road conditions, this button can effectively prevent the transmission from frequently shifting gears. During overtaking, it can also serve the purpose of forced downshifting. How to use auto hold: During normal driving, if you need it to work, simply press the HOLD button while in D gear. The car's transmission will then maintain the second, third, or fourth gear. Pressing the HOLD button in third gear will keep the car in second or third gear, while pressing it in second gear will maintain the car in second gear. Pressing it in first gear naturally keeps the car fixed in first gear. Using this button does not cause any harm to the transmission.
