Methods to develop a sense of direction while driving: 1. Straight-line direction sense: Beginners often have no feeling when driving, either because they don't know how to look or how to adjust. When driving, don't focus on the front of the car; instead, look at the middle of the lane in the distance. Use your peripheral vision to feel the car moving along the center of the lane. If there is any deviation, make slight adjustments to the steering wheel and promptly correct it. Adjustments should be minimal and timely. Practicing straight-line direction sense requires faster speeds to develop the skill—it's essential to get a feel for these slight adjustments. 2. Direction sense in curves: The 'feeling' for curves can't be taught; it comes with practice, understanding, and experience. The basic principle is: the sharper the curve, the more you need to turn the steering wheel. There is a proportional relationship between the car's speed and the speed at which you turn the steering wheel. If the car is moving fast, turn the steering wheel quickly; if the car is moving slowly, turn the steering wheel slowly. There's also a timing aspect: turning early requires less and slower steering, while turning late requires more and faster steering. 3. Keeping the steering wheel straight: To drive in a straight line, you first need to learn how to keep the steering wheel steady and straight. If the steering wheel is already tilted, no matter how you drive, the car will veer off course.

Under what circumstances is the eco mode activated and used?

eco is activated and used when the vehicle speed does not exceed 120 km/h or when driving on smooth roads. The main principle of eco is: during vehicle operation, it comprehensively evaluates the automatic transmission gear, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature to control the engine speed with appropriate gear selection. The onboard computer calculates the optimal fuel amount to supply the engine for operation. As an energy-saving mode for vehicles, eco is primarily divided into active and passive types. The passive type does not have a dedicated button but incorporates a reminder function. When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h, eco intelligently assesses the fuel consumption and displays it in green on the dashboard. The eco mode automatically deactivates when encountering uphill climbs or acceleration.

Are 16x30 Tires the Same as 300-10?

16x30 tires and 300-10 are not the same. When purchasing tires, the first step is to confirm the specifications of the vehicle's original tires. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; 2. To support vehicle loads; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly removing stones from tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Periodically inspecting front wheel alignment; 6. Adopting careful driving practices, choosing smooth road surfaces, avoiding objects that could puncture or scratch tires, and steering clear of chemical spills that may corrode tires.

Why Do Only Chinese Cars Drive on the Left Side?

It is not only China that drives on the left side. Chinese cars drive on the left because the traffic direction in our country is right-hand drive. Following the principle of placing the driver's seat closer to the centerline of the road ensures better road safety, which is why vehicles in China are left-hand drive. In general, the distinction between left-hand and right-hand drive cars depends on whether the local traffic is left-hand or right-hand drive. The position of the driver's seat is closely related to the country's traffic regulations. For example, in China, where traffic keeps to the right, placing the driver's seat on the left ensures that the driver is closer to the center of the road, providing better visibility on the left side. If an oncoming vehicle approaches, the driver can observe it immediately, making it easier to maneuver and avoid collisions. Conversely, in countries that favor left-hand traffic, the driver's seat is placed on the right for the same reasons. Traffic direction can be divided into two categories: driving on the left side of the road and driving on the right side of the road. 34% of countries drive on the left, while 66% drive on the right. If calculated by road mileage, 28% of the world's drivable roads are left-hand traffic, and 72% are right-hand traffic. There are 75 countries and regions that drive on the left, and 165 that drive on the right. Right-hand drive, left-hand traffic countries are primarily island nations like the UK, Japan, and former British Commonwealth regions such as Hong Kong and Australia. Left-hand drive, right-hand traffic countries are mostly continental nations like the United States and China.
