Car jacks are generally placed underneath the spare tire in the trunk, with designated mounting positions. These are located along the protruding long edges on both sides of the vehicle's underbody, where there are several reinforced areas specifically designed for jack placement. Here's additional information: 1. Passenger cars: For family vehicles, the support points are typically on the inner side of the side skirts, approximately 20 cm behind the front wheels and 20 cm in front of the rear wheels, capable of withstanding relatively high pressure. Incorrect operation, such as placing the jack on chassis steel plates, bumpers, or crossbeams, may cause the side skirts to deform, resulting in unnecessary damage to the chassis. 2. Precautions: When using a jack, ensure the car is parked on a safe and level surface with the brakes engaged. Additionally, pay attention to the jack's maximum load capacity and never exceed it to prevent accidents due to insufficient support.

How to Remove Fog on Car Windows When Using Air Conditioning?

When fog forms on car windows while using air conditioning, you can remove it by opening windows for air convection, using the air conditioning system, or applying defogging agents. Opening Windows for Air Convection: If the fog inside the car is not heavy, you can slightly open both side windows to create air convection between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference, and the fog will gradually disappear. The principle of this method is the same as using cold air from the air conditioning, but it does not increase fuel consumption. However, the downside of opening windows is obvious: it is not suitable during rain, snow, or on highways, nor when the fog is heavy. Additionally, opening windows will lower the temperature inside the car. Air Conditioning System: Using the air conditioning system to remove fog is the most common method. Almost all cars nowadays have air vents below the front windshield. Simply adjust the air conditioning to the appropriate setting, and the air blown from the vents will help remove the fog. If you are in a hurry, you can use cold air for quick results. However, in most cases, it is recommended to use warm air. Turn on the car's fan and cooling switch, and the cold air directed at the front windshield will quickly dissipate the fog. The effect is immediate, but the biggest drawback is that passengers inside the car may feel cold. Defogging Agents: Spraying a defogging agent on the inner surface of the car window and wiping it clean not only removes dirt but also forms a protective film that prevents moisture from condensing into fog. One application can last for about ten days. Prices range from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars. You can also make your own defogging solution by mixing dishwashing liquid with water in a ratio of 1:10. Apply the mixture to the inside of the front and rear windshields using a clean, soft cloth, or pour it into a small spray bottle for easier application.

Does the New Levin Require Pressing the Electronic Handbrake When Parking?

The New Levin does not require pressing the electronic handbrake when parking. Simply depress the brake pedal to slow down and stop the vehicle, shift the gear lever to the P position (Parking gear for the electronic handbrake), and then turn off the engine. Below is more related information: Electronic Handbrake: The automotive electronic handbrake is primarily used for long-term braking after parking, similar to traditional mechanical handbrakes. With the development of electronic parking brake systems, the functionality of electronic handbrakes has expanded from basic parking to include automatic parking features (AUTO-HOLD), eliminating the need for drivers to maintain prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. The automotive electronic handbrake, also known as the Electronic Parking Brake system (EPB), is indicated by a "P" button on the vehicle. Its working principle is the same as that of traditional mechanical handbrakes, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method has evolved from a mechanical handbrake to an electronic button.

Can ECO Mode Be Kept On for a Long Time?

You can keep the eco mode on in your car for a long time. The eco mode, also known as the economy mode, is particularly effective in saving fuel when driving in congested urban traffic conditions. Under eco mode, the amount of carbon deposits in the engine is roughly the same as in the normal driving mode, so the eco mode can be kept on continuously. The main principle of the eco mode is not complicated. It involves a comprehensive analysis and judgment of factors affecting fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the appropriate amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gear shifts to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, standing for Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The eco mode is further divided into active eco driving mode and non-active eco driving mode. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard is on, it means the vehicle's economy mode is activated. The eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to turn it on. When the driver presses the eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light will illuminate, and the vehicle will automatically adjust settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the eco indicator light on the dashboard is on, it serves as a reminder function. The eco mode automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will display the eco indicator light accordingly. Most cars adopt the active eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, the eco mode can be turned on during daily driving. However, it is unnecessary to activate the eco mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of the eco mode but also affect the vehicle's power output. Additionally, the eco mode usually becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the car prioritizes speed, and the eco mode automatically deactivates. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the eco mode will not function.
