Which part of the foot should be used to press the clutch?

Press the clutch with the ball of your foot. When pressing the clutch pedal, place the ball of your foot on the pedal with your heel touching the ground. When the clutch is pressed to its lowest point, keep your knees slightly bent. Ensure the clutch is fully depressed to avoid prolonged engagement and guarantee complete separation. Additionally, control the timing of clutch release—avoid releasing it too quickly or deliberately raising the engine RPM too high, as this accelerates clutch wear. Extended tips: 1. For starting on flat ground, after pressing the clutch and shifting into gear, release the clutch slowly since the car hasn't gained speed yet. Releasing it too quickly may cause the engine to stall. 2. For hill starts, gradually release the clutch until the engine vibrates, then release the brake pedal and immediately press the accelerator. 3. When shifting between first, second, and third gears (low-speed gears), release the clutch slowly to prevent stalling or jerking. For shifts between fourth and fifth gears (high-speed gears), a quicker release is acceptable.

What Causes the Fuel Consumption Display to Fluctuate Erratically?

During fuel sloshing in the tank, poor contact of the fuel level sensor (fuel float) can also affect the variation in average fuel consumption values. In such cases, it's important to observe whether the fuel gauge needle also fluctuates up and down. Insufficient energy in the ignition system, particularly from spark plugs causing ignition fluctuations, can lead to incomplete fuel combustion, resulting in erratic fuel consumption readings. Factors affecting fuel consumption include: 1. Rough Roads Consume More Fuel: Driving on congested or uneven roads for extended periods in lower gears inevitably increases fuel consumption; 2. Overloading the Trunk Increases Fuel Usage: Using the trunk as a storage space, cramming it with unnecessary items, increases the vehicle's weight. It's important to note that vehicle weight and fuel consumption are directly proportional. A 10% reduction in vehicle weight can lead to a corresponding percentage decrease in fuel consumption; 3. Incorrect Driving Habits Can Double or Triple Fuel Usage: Poor driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and hard braking are the most common issues.

What Causes the Throttle to Be Hard to Press Down?

Throttle being hard to press down is generally caused by carbon buildup in the engine's throttle body. You can inspect the throttle body and idle speed control valve, and after cleaning them, try operating it again. The throttle, also known as the "air valve" or "throttle valve," refers to the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston-type aircraft engines, the throttle controls the opening of the carburetor's throttle valve to regulate the cylinder's filling volume. Relevant information about idle speed is as follows: 1. Introduction: Idle speed is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idle is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the size of the air valve, among other methods. Idle speed means the engine is "producing power without doing work." 2. Driving Idle: During gear shifting, if the accelerator pedal is not pressed or is released while driving, maintaining the minimum opening of the throttle valve, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed. This state is referred to as driving idle.

Is it possible to press both the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously?

Simultaneously pressing the brake pedal and accelerator pedal is harmful to the vehicle itself. Automobile designers have placed them on the same side, stipulating that only one foot should be used to control them, forming an international convention to ensure that both pedals are not pressed at the same time. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency braking: Some vehicles are not equipped with ABS, so it is not recommended to press the brake pedal with full force at once. Instead, press the brake pedal twice in succession to prevent wheel lock-up, which could lead to skidding and loss of steering control. 2. Braking in rainy conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid slamming the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel abruptly. After passing through water, it is best to gently press the brake pedal twice to use inertia and friction to remove water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden braking. 3. Braking while following another vehicle: When following another car, the main purpose of braking is to maintain a safe distance. Therefore, press the brake pedal gently while observing not only the braking of the car in front but also the movements of the vehicles ahead of it. If you notice the car in front braking, place your foot on the brake pedal in advance to prepare for any sudden braking.

What Causes Abnormal Throttle Pedal Signals?

Abnormal throttle pedal signals are generally caused by issues with the electronic throttle pedal, but this is not always the case. If you are a car owner, it is recommended to visit an after-sales service or auto repair shop for a detailed inspection. If you are an auto repair professional, it is advised to read the data stream to check if the pedal position and throttle position are synchronized, and then measure the pedal's circuit to ensure it is functioning properly. Below is an introduction to brake pedal operation: 1. Introduction to Brake Pedal Operation: Brake pedal operation in vehicles can be categorized into slow braking (i.e., anticipatory braking), emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking. In general, during slow braking and emergency braking, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed before the wheels lock up or the vehicle comes to a stop to prevent the engine from stalling and to facilitate speed adjustment. 2. Mastering the Timing and Force of Braking: Under normal circumstances, avoid stomping on the brake pedal all at once. Instead, press the brake pedal first, adjusting the force (i.e., increasing pressure) as needed. When the vehicle is moving at a higher speed, apply the pedal quickly and firmly; when the speed is slower, apply the pedal gently and steadily. Then, adjust the pressure based on various conditions for either increased or decreased braking force.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for the Arrizo 5?

The normal tire pressure range for the Arrizo 5 is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the requirements and regulations of the international GBT2978-2008 standard. If you want to check the current tire pressure of the Arrizo 5 during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure value will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The specific method is to press the LCD adjustment button on the combination instrument panel on the left side of the steering wheel and switch to the tire pressure monitoring system interface. Generally speaking, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating localized wear of the tread center pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increased vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reduced tire elasticity, and increased load during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; heavy steering wheel and other factors detrimental to driving safety; increased movement of tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may result in tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset in this case. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure fault light will also illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only a complete replacement of the component is possible.
