In a right-hand drive car, just like in a left-hand drive car, the pedals from left to right are the clutch, brake, and accelerator. The only difference is that the driver's seat has moved from the left to the right. Additionally, the gear lever remains in the center position but is operated with the left hand, while the turn signal and headlight controls are switched to the right hand. However, the car's powertrain and structure remain largely the same. Function of the brake: Used to decelerate, either to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Function of the accelerator: By controlling the amount of pedal pressure, it regulates the throttle opening of the engine, controls the air intake, and the computer adjusts the fuel injection, thereby controlling the engine's speed. How to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: Stay focused while driving, look farther ahead (generally observing up to 150 meters), check the movement of vehicles ahead and whether there are intersections or schools nearby, and slow down in advance to avoid sudden braking whenever possible.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Honda CR-V?

2021 Honda CR-V actual fuel consumption is 6.2L/100km. Here are specific methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. During startup: The car consumes the most fuel when starting at low speeds, so gently press the accelerator to prevent high RPMs, which can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 2. While driving: Avoid unnecessary high RPMs as much as possible, as fluctuating engine speeds can significantly increase fuel consumption. 3. Pay attention to maintenance: Regular maintenance, changing the engine oil, and removing carbon deposits. 4. Avoid emergency braking and make good use of inertia: Try to avoid emergency braking; anticipating road conditions in advance not only improves driving safety but also saves fuel, such as gradually slowing down before traffic lights and using inertia to coast.

What to Do When Your Car Remote Key Gets Wet

Here are the steps to handle a soaked car remote key: 1. Wipe the exterior dry. You can open its casing, remove the battery, insert a screwdriver into the slot, and turn it clockwise to fully separate the two parts of the remote. 2. Use a cotton swab or anhydrous alcohol to clean the circuit board. The 95% concentration alcohol sold in pharmacies is suitable, as anhydrous alcohol has strong water-absorbing properties. Then, blow it dry. 3. Use highly absorbent paper towels to dry the internal components. Do not immediately test any remote functions, as the chip in the wet remote key might short-circuit and burn out.
