ECO mode can be used when you want to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. When ECO is activated, the vehicle will make adjustments: the throttle opening corresponding to the same accelerator pedal depth will be smaller, and the transmission will shift up earlier. The purpose is to control the engine speed through reasonable gear selection, thereby reducing unnecessary fuel consumption. Below is an introduction to ECO mode: 1. ECO mode mainly functions when the vehicle is in motion through computer-controlled adjustments, so it does not work during idle parking or in manual mode. 2. When the vehicle encounters situations like climbing a slope that require overcoming resistance and high torque output, the ECU control unit will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode will not operate. When driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, the vehicle needs better power output, and since the speed is already well beyond the economical range, ECO mode cannot contribute to fuel savings.

Does the Fista Use a Dry Dual-Clutch Transmission?

Fista uses a dry dual-clutch transmission, which is actually developed based on the technology of the 6-speed DQ250 wet dual-clutch transmission, simplifying the related hydraulic system. Because this dual-clutch is not installed in a sealed oil chamber like the DQ250 transmission, it is more prone to overheating, has lower heat resistance compared to wet clutches, and can withstand relatively smaller torque. Fista is a sports sedan under Beijing Hyundai, with dimensions of 4600mm in length, 1790mm in width, and 1425mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Fista incorporates Hyundai's new family-style design language, applying fluid sculpture design, creating a sporty feel through its fastback body and dynamic lines. The front face features an inverted trapezoidal family-style grille, with flat and sharp headlights on both sides, paired with curved daytime running lights below, giving it a vibrant look. The car offers optional horizontal bar and mesh front grilles, with the latter being more sporty. The rear features a trendy full-width taillight design, emphasizing fashion and visual tension, with a small spoiler and oval-shaped dual single-exit exhaust tips adding to its sporty appeal.

How many years can run-flat tires be used?

Normally, they can last for about four years or 80,000 kilometers. The following are relevant precautions regarding run-flat tires: 1. Use low-pressure tires: These characteristics improve the vehicle's driving smoothness and steering stability, significantly extending the tire's lifespan and preventing blowouts. Choose tires with corresponding speed ratings and load capacities. 2. Strictly avoid speeding: There is a phenomenon called 'standing waves' in car tires, which often occurs during speeding. This phenomenon can rapidly increase tire temperature, accelerate rubber aging, and easily cause delamination and rupture, leading to tire blowouts.

Is the Purchase Tax Paid During Vehicle Registration?

No, the purchase tax must be paid within two months, but the sooner it is paid, the better. There is no time limit for vehicle registration, but there is a two-month deadline for paying the purchase tax. If this deadline is exceeded, late fees will be charged. Only after the purchase tax is paid can the vehicle be registered. A temporary driving permit can be obtained from the new car dealer, allowing the vehicle to be driven without registration for up to six months. Below are some related details: 1. Timeframe for new vehicle registration: There is no specific regulation, but to drive on the road, a temporary license plate or official registration must be obtained. If the vehicle has not yet been registered and needs to be driven temporarily within the administrative region, a temporary license plate valid for no more than 15 days will be issued. For temporary driving across administrative regions, a temporary license plate valid for no more than 30 days will be issued. 2. Temporary license plates: If the vehicle owner needs to apply for temporary license plates multiple times, the vehicle management office may issue them no more than three times. For ordinary new car drivers, the maximum duration for using temporary plates is 45 days. 3. Displaying license plates: The "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly states that vehicles must display license plates when driven on the road, and failure to do so will result in penalties. Before obtaining official license plates, a temporary license plate must be applied for in accordance with regulations to legally drive on the road. New cars must not use temporary plates for more than 15 days, and owners should promptly apply for official license plates from the vehicle management authority.
