The most common cause of severe shaking when starting the Sail is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Excessive carbon buildup: When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts, making it difficult to start. In this situation, the engine will only start easily once the carbon deposits have absorbed enough gasoline to become saturated. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is then drawn into the cylinders by the engine's vacuum suction to burn, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. The engine's combustible air-fuel mixture alternates between being too lean and too rich, causing idle shaking after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly. 2. Air-fuel mixture: A too-lean air-fuel mixture during a cold start makes it difficult to start until the carbon deposits absorb enough gasoline to become saturated. After starting, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is drawn into the cylinders by the engine's vacuum suction to burn, making the air-fuel mixture too rich. The engine's combustible air-fuel mixture alternates between being too lean and too rich, causing idle shaking after a cold start.

How is the quality of Geely's CVT transmission?

Geely's CVT transmission is of excellent quality, and its lifespan largely depends on the service life of the steel belt. With ordinary material pressure steel belts, the designed service life can reach 30 years or more. For a well-maintained CVT transmission, it can generally last for 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers or about 15 to 20 years. Below are some methods to extend the transmission's lifespan. 1. Replace the transmission oil according to the specified time or mileage: Although many manufacturers claim that the transmission is maintenance-free for life, the replacement cycle for transmission oil is between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers (varies by model). After the first maintenance, it is recommended to replace the oil every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers to prevent the transmission oil from deteriorating. 2. Avoid keeping the gear in D for extended periods while driving: Keeping the gear in D means the transmission is working, with internal parts rubbing against each other and stirring the oil, which raises the transmission's temperature. Over time, this can cause the transmission oil to degrade prematurely, reducing its lubrication or cooling effectiveness, thereby increasing transmission wear. 3. Pay attention to daily driving habits: Gear and speed should match; avoid high speed in low gear or low speed in high gear. Also, avoid coasting in neutral, as a vehicle without power not only interrupts the transmission's oil supply but can also easily damage internal parts.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Geely Borui?

2021 Geely Borui has a total of 3 models. The fuel tank capacity of this series is 70 liters. All models are equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT), and a front-wheel drive system. Since the 2017 model, the fuel tank capacity of the Geely Borui has remained unchanged, with both the 2017 and 2021 models having a 70-liter capacity. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level. There is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the 2021 RAV4?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the 2021 RAV4 is 4.7-6.4L/100km. There are 10 models of the 2021 RAV4 on sale. The fuel consumption of the two-wheel-drive urban version is 5.8L/100km. The two-wheel-drive fashion version, two-wheel-drive premium version, and two-wheel-drive fashion PLUS version have a fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km. The four-wheel-drive fashion version and four-wheel-drive fashion PLUS version have a fuel consumption of 6.3L/100km. The four-wheel-drive premium version has a fuel consumption of 6.4L/100km. The two-wheel-drive elite version has a fuel consumption of 4.7L/100km. The four-wheel-drive elite PLUS version and four-wheel-drive flagship version have a fuel consumption of 5L/100km. The above are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption figures, which are the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 7.5-9.0L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive engine carbon deposits are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not obvious, it indicates that there are many carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits in the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, and the fuel consumption will definitely increase suddenly. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker exhaust gas during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced at this time. Regularly replace the three filters: During the use of the vehicle, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and send wrong information to the engine control unit, causing incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the reliability of the engine's electronic control unit is very high, in vehicles that have been used for a long time, various faults may inevitably occur.

How Many Types of Motorcycles Are There?

Scooters, straddle bicycles, sports bikes. The types of motorcycles can be said to be as numerous as stars, and many major categories can also be derived into smaller subcategories. Therefore, below is a brief introduction to several common types in daily life. Scooters are a common means of transportation in urban areas. Due to their simple operation and comfortable riding, they are highly favored by riders. However, depending on their structure and displacement, they can be divided into three major categories: large, medium, and small scooters, which can further be classified into small entry scooters, small sports scooters, small cruising scooters, retro scooters, medium-large cruising scooters, medium-large sports scooters, large twin-cylinder cruising scooters, and so on. Straddle bicycles are a type of motorcycle that people encounter more frequently in daily life. Currently, this type of motorcycle is also referred to as an access bike. Its overall appearance is relatively simple, and its functions are also quite basic, primarily leaning towards practicality. Whether it's engine performance or body structure, everything tends to align with this design style, and the engine displacement is usually not too large. Basically, these are motorcycles with displacements below 250cc. Sports bikes are another relatively common type of motorcycle, but in the early days, they mainly appeared on television. Due to differences in performance, they are also divided into racing bikes and civilian sports bikes. As the name suggests, racing bikes are specialized vehicles for tracks, with everything designed to serve the primary purpose of racing. Sports bikes, on the other hand, take into account conventional riding requirements, making them a more toned-down version of racing bikes. Of course, there are also some aggressive models among sports bikes, so different models should be treated differently.

Is the ETC card one card per vehicle?

ETC is one card per vehicle, and one card can be bound to multiple vehicles. According to the "Rules for the Use of the Non-stop Fast Passing System," when applying for an ETC card, you need to fill out the "ETC Service Deduction Authorization Form," where you can list multiple vehicles as the designated payment vehicles. This means there is no limit to the number of vehicles that can be bound to a single ETC card for payment purposes. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and certain urban road sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks in the background. This allows vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at toll booths, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles do not stop at toll stations; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, thereby reducing wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle throughput by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more efficient. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles should reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and increasing the ETC adoption rate for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks in the future. There will also be exploration into deeper integration of the ETC system with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and other smart transportation development directions, providing comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage.

The Real Reputation of Geely Boyue Pro?

The real reputation of Geely Boyue Pro is as follows: 1. Geely Boyue has relatively high fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of Geely Boyue ranges between 9.5-10L/100km, which is largely due to the heavy weight of the vehicle. This alone is enough to deter many potential buyers, as fuel efficiency is a significant concern for a considerable number of people, making it a critical drawback of the Geely Boyue. 2. The engine delivers ample power, providing strong acceleration: The 1.8T model of Boyue achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9.29 seconds, with overall power smoothness being impeccable. Even under harsh driving conditions, it delivers power smoothly. However, the high-power 1.8T engine, after being filtered by the 7DCT transmission, lacks a sense of explosive power. 3. The ground clearance is relatively low, but the suspension handles well: The Boyue's ground clearance is only 170mm, which is just right for an urban SUV. The suspension setup, featuring a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension, is quite impressive, and the actual driving experience reflects this quality. 4. The exterior is stylish, and the interior craftsmanship is commendable: The 'hui'-patterned grille, straight lines, floating roof, and slightly raised rear end give it an elegant and appropriate appearance. However, meticulous owners might notice that the exhaust pipe design is not optimal, as its visibility somewhat detracts from the overall aesthetic. The interior design draws inspiration from the Broken Bridge in Hangzhou, boasting high originality and a youthful, fashionable appeal. The use of soft materials enhances the premium feel. 5. High cost-performance ratio with abundant features: The Boyue's rich array of features is indeed enticing to many, and its high cost-performance ratio is a standout feature. Additionally, the cabin offers good sound insulation, and the vehicle's handling and comfort are quite impressive.
