Car S gear is the sport mode of the car. In S gear mode, the torque output is high, providing greater acceleration, and the engine maintains high RPMs with delayed shift timing. S gear is mostly used for overtaking, climbing steep slopes, descending long slopes, traffic congestion, and clearing carbon deposits. However, S gear increases fuel injection, leading to higher fuel consumption. Prolonged driving in S gear can cause significant damage to the engine and transmission. The working principle of S gear: S gear is a mode that keeps the engine at high RPMs, with the transmission shifting up later and shifting down earlier, enhancing the car's dynamic performance. The function of S gear: In this mode, the engine performs gear shifts at very high RPMs, delivering excellent power performance during rapid acceleration and overtaking.

How to resolve P0172 system too rich?

For the fault code P0172 indicating the fuel system is too rich, the following solutions can be applied: 1. Check if the fuel pressure is normal. 2. Inspect the PCV valve, throttle body, carbon canister solenoid valve, intake manifold, brake booster, and hoses for any vacuum leaks. 3. Examine the coolant temperature sensor; check the mass air flow sensor; inspect the fuel injectors. 4. Additional information: The fuel system of a turbo-shaft engine consists of a fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors, etc., to ensure the required fuel flow under various operating conditions and flight scenarios.

What are the reasons for the constant pressure loss in the Fengjun 5's brake system?

Fengjun 5's brake system frequently losing pressure can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Air leakage in the brake oil pipe. 2. Insufficient brake oil. 3. Lack of brake lubricant. 4. Leakage in the brake master cylinder or brake wheel cylinder. 5. Wear between the hydraulic cylinder wall and piston. Below are the symptoms of pressure loss in the brake master cylinder: 1. Oil leakage at the connection between the brake master cylinder and the vacuum booster or at the limit screw. 2. Poor or ineffective braking even when the brake pedal is fully depressed. 3. The brake pedal feels soft when pressed. 4. Vehicle pulls to one side after braking. 5. Sudden brake failure. 6. The brake pedal does not return or returns slowly.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise from Newly Replaced Brake Pads?

Newly replaced brake pads produce abnormal noise due to mismatched contact surfaces, as there is a required break-in period between the new brake pads and the old brake disc. More details about brake pads are as follows: 1. Installation of new brake pads without resurfacing the old brake disc: This leads to improper fitting. If the installation is mismatched or new pads are installed without resurfacing the old disc, the new pads will directly rub against the uneven surface of the old disc, eventually causing uneven wear on the new brake pads. 2. Material issues with the brake pads: If non-genuine brake pads are used, the larger particles in the pad material can easily generate noise during braking. 3. Installation problems: Lack of lubricating paste (also known as noise reduction paste) or improperly installed brake pad shims. In such cases, reinstalling the brake pads properly should resolve the issue.

What Does Double Flash Mean?

Double flash refers to the hazard warning flasher, commonly known as "double blink" (a triangular red button with an exclamation mark inside). It is a signal light used to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the vehicle is experiencing a special situation. When a vehicle suddenly encounters a malfunction during road driving and cannot be moved to a safe area in time, the hazard warning flasher should be activated immediately to remind passing vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention to safety and promptly call for help while waiting for rescue. If a vehicle breaks down on the highway, it should be parked in the emergency stopping lane, and the hazard warning flasher should be turned on promptly. A hazard warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the faulty vehicle, and emergency services should be contacted immediately. The driver and passengers should wait for rescue outside the guardrail in front of the faulty vehicle.
