Car not being able to shift gears the next day after wading through water is caused by water entering the clutch, which requires inspection and repair. The following is relevant information about driving through water: 1. Judge the depth of the water: If the water does not exceed half the height of the wheel, it is safe to drive; otherwise, it is not recommended to continue driving. 2. Use snow mode: After entering a waterlogged section, slow down and drive carefully. For automatic transmission cars, try to use first gear, preferably entering snow mode to prevent wheel slippage. 3. Continuous braking: After driving out of the waterlogged section, brake several times in succession to evaporate the water in the brake discs to avoid affecting the car's braking performance.

What is the difference between lane changing and turning?

Turning left at an intersection to enter another road is called a left turn; when driving on the same road with two or more lanes, moving to the left lane is called a left lane change, and moving to the right lane is called a right lane change. The following are specific details: 1. Different arrow sizes: The left turn icon has only one arrow, while the left lane change has two arrows. The arrow in the left turn icon is larger, while the arrows in the left lane change are smaller. 2. Different meanings of the icons: A left turn is an action performed at a road intersection; a left lane change is an action performed while driving on a straight road. 3. Different locations: Turn signs are placed at intersections, while lane change signs are not. 4. Different shapes: Lane change signs are white arrows pointing to the lower left or lower right.

What is the formula for calculating car fuel consumption?

Car fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = Volume of a certain amount of fuel (liters) ÷ Distance the car can travel with that amount of fuel (kilometers) × 100. Below is a detailed introduction about car fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Overview: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated by specifying the speed to derive the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Others: Since most vehicles approach their most economical speed at 90 kilometers per hour, most of the officially published theoretical fuel consumption data is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 kilometers per hour.

What are the speed requirements for shifting gears in a car?

Start in first gear, shift to second gear when reaching 10 km/h, shift to third gear at 20 km/h, shift to fourth gear at 30 km/h, and shift to fifth gear at 40 km/h. Gear shifting should be completed within 100 meters, with the gear order increasing sequentially from low to high. Below is a detailed introduction about car gears: 1. Speed aspects: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h. Second gear corresponds to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Gear shifting timing: Generally, the gear shifting timing for most cars is when the engine reaches 2000 rpm, and should not exceed 2500 rpm. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 rpm.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BYD Song?

The Song is a compact SUV under the BYD brand, equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Based on feedback from actual BYD Song owners, the average fuel consumption is approximately 9.1 liters per 100 kilometers. This means the BYD Song consumes 9.1L/100km, equating to 0.091L per kilometer. Using the latest fuel prices, if using 92-octane gasoline at the current price of 6.75 yuan/L, the cost per kilometer is: 6.75 yuan/L × 0.091L = 0.61425 yuan, approximately 0.61 yuan/km. If using 95-octane gasoline at the current price of 7.2 yuan/L, the cost per kilometer is 7.2 yuan/L × 0.091L = 0.6552 yuan, approximately 0.66 yuan/km.
