S gear is the sports mode of a car, typically used for climbing slopes and rapid acceleration to overtake. It can also be used during high-speed driving, and the high engine RPM in sports mode can help remove carbon deposits from the engine. The gears in an automatic transmission car include: 1. L gear: This is the low gear, which limits speed. When engaged during uphill driving, it maintains a state of high RPM and low gear. 2. S gear: This is the sports mode, allowing the transmission to shift freely. 3. D gear: This is the drive gear, used for forward motion of the car. 4. N gear: This is the neutral gear, used during brief stops. 5. P gear: This is the parking gear. 6. R gear: This is the reverse gear, used when backing up the car.

What is a Transferred Vehicle?

Vehicle transfer refers to the change of ownership of a vehicle. Below is an introduction to the relevant content of vehicle transfer: 1. Documents required for vehicle transfer: original owner's ID card, new owner's ID card, original or copy of the vehicle's license, purchase tax certificate, proof of payment of vehicle and vessel use tax, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle criminal inspection report, insurance policy, card or invoice. All of these must be provided in original. 2. Household registration: Each vehicle has a fixed household registration, just like a person. The vehicle's household registration mainly records the owner and address of the vehicle, as well as some relevant vehicle parameters. A transferred vehicle proves that the vehicle belongs to the new owner and has no accidents or violations. When there are issues with the vehicle, such as accidents, failure to participate in annual inspections, stolen vehicles, or smuggled vehicles, the transfer cannot proceed through normal procedures.

How to Brake at Traffic Lights?

Release the accelerator and place your foot on the brake pedal when 70 meters away from the intersection to prepare for unexpected situations, and look around when about 40 meters away. Immediately release the accelerator, prepare to change lanes by selecting the lane with the fewest vehicles, and gradually apply the brakes from light to firm when 400 meters away from the red light.

How to restore the factory settings of the BAIC EU5 central control screen?

There is a small REST hole on the navigation system. Insert something into it for a few seconds. If there isn't one, check the function menu in the lower right corner or in the system settings. Below are specific details about the BAIC EU5 ride-hailing version: 1. Introduction: The BAIC EU5 is a compact pure electric vehicle under BAIC New Energy. It is a single-motor car with a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, making it quite powerful. The motor of the BAIC EU5 is front-mounted, so this model is also front-wheel drive. 2. Battery Introduction: This model uses ternary lithium batteries across the entire lineup. Most pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, which are the trend for the future. Ternary lithium batteries have higher energy density and are lighter in weight, making them more suitable for household vehicles.

Is it serious if water reaches under the car seats?

It is relatively serious if a car is submerged to the level below the seats. Here are the relevant details: 1. Severity: The seriousness of a water-damaged car depends on the height of the water submersion and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Below the seats: If the water only reaches below the seats, this height does not reach the vehicle's air intake or the fuse box and dashboard area. After thorough cleaning, the impact on the vehicle is relatively minor. 3. Cleaning: During the cleaning process, it is necessary to replace the transmission fluid, engine oil, and brake fluid, as well as clean and maintain the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and catalytic converter. This can further reduce the impact of water damage on the vehicle's subsequent use.

What Causes High Temperature in Diesel Engine?

The reasons for high temperature in diesel engines are as follows: 1. Water pump damage: When the water pump is damaged, the coolant cannot circulate in the cooling system, and thus cannot carry away the heat generated by engine combustion; 2. Lack of coolant or use of unqualified coolant: When the coolant is insufficient or completely missing, there is no cooling medium in the cooling system to transfer the engine heat, leading to high temperature. Additionally, modern engines operate at temperatures higher than the boiling point of water. Using water or unqualified coolant as the cooling medium can also cause engine overheating; 3. Thermostat damage: When the thermostat is damaged or stuck, the engine only operates in a small cycle, and the radiator cannot dissipate heat effectively, resulting in low heat dissipation intensity and engine overheating; 4. Fan not working: The fan may not work due to two reasons: one is the fan itself being damaged, such as broken fan blades, stuck fan, or broken fan belt; the other may be a control circuit fault that fails to send operation signals to the electric fan; 5. Dirty radiator surface, poor heat dissipation: When the radiator surface is covered with dirt, heat conduction is poor, and heat cannot be dissipated into the air in time, causing engine overheating.

Is the speed limit for vehicles in factory areas 10 or 15?

Speed limit regulations for vehicles within the factory premises: When driving on the main roads within the factory without speed limit signs, vehicles must not exceed 30 km/h, and on other roads, they must not exceed 20 km/h. Speed limit regulations for vehicles within the factory premises: When driving on the main roads within the factory without speed limit signs, vehicles must not exceed 30 km/h, and on other roads, they must not exceed 20 km/h. In case of unexpected situations, the time required for the driver to react and brake after seeing the situation is called the reaction time. The distance the vehicle travels at its original speed during the reaction time is called the reaction distance. The distance the vehicle travels from braking to a complete stop is called the braking distance. Therefore, speed limits are imposed to ensure safety. The speed limit requirements for vehicles driving in the following locations, sections, or under special circumstances should comply with: 1. At crossings, intersections, loading and unloading operations, densely populated pedestrian areas, downhill slopes, places with warning signs, or when turning or making U-turns: The maximum speed for trucks carrying flammable, explosive, or other hazardous goods must not exceed 15 km/h. 2. On icy, snowy, or waterlogged roads; or when visibility is less than 30 meters due to severe weather: The maximum speed must not exceed 10 km/h. 3. When entering or exiting factory buildings, warehouses, workshop gates, parking lots, gas stations, weighing scales, hazardous areas, production sites, reversing, or towing damaged vehicles: The maximum speed must not exceed 5 km/h.
