Automatic can shift to a lower gear. It is better to manually shift to L or S gear before going up a long slope. Notable points for beginners with CVT vehicles: 1. Transmission overheating: Using D gear when the vehicle is heavily loaded on a long slope can easily cause the CVT transmission to overheat. It is recommended to use L gear when continuously going uphill to allow the engine to maintain maximum torque output for completing the uphill drive. 2. Component wear: Do not press the accelerator pedal deeply when starting a CVT vehicle, as this will cause the engine speed to increase instantly, but the vehicle speed will not increase significantly, wasting fuel and causing significant wear on engine components. 3. Mastering manual mode: Maintaining low engine speed for long-term driving is beneficial for the break-in of a new engine.

Bought a motorcycle but don't know where to park it?

Be sure to park it in a supervised parking area. Here are the relevant details: 1. In the garage: Park the motorcycle at home or in a garage; if you must park it in an unsupervised area, try to place it where you, nearby businesses, or passersby can easily see it; equip the motorcycle with sturdy anti-theft locks and install an anti-theft alarm system. 2. Precautions: If you can only park in an unsupervised location, try to lock the motorcycle to a fixed object that is difficult to move on the road. If the motorcycle is unfortunately stolen, be sure to report it to the police promptly. Additionally, police recommend that commercial units with the means assign security personnel to help customers monitor parked motorcycles, as a safe shopping environment is just as important as affordable prices in attracting customers. Communities and property management departments should organize efforts to strengthen checks on vehicles entering and exiting residential areas and create conditions for safe motorcycle parking.

What is the ground clearance of the Accord?

The minimum ground clearance of the Accord is 100 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Accord refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The higher the ground clearance of the Accord, the better its off-road capability. However, if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Accord is a leisure sedan developed by Honda based on the Accord platform. The Accord Crosstour features a design similar to the BMW X6, blending elements of a four-door sedan and a five-door station wagon, making it a distinctive crossover model. The dimensions of the Accord are 4906 mm in length, 1862 mm in width, and 1449 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the Accord is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Accord's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving on well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For frequent travel to rural areas or driving on rough terrain, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.

Is it easy to pass the annual inspection if you go by yourself?

It is easy to pass the annual inspection if you go by yourself. Below are the specific regulations for vehicle annual inspections: 1. Passenger vehicles for operation: Inspect once a year within 5 years; inspect once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles: Inspect once a year within 10 years; inspect once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Inspect once every 2 years within 6 years; inspect once a year after exceeding 6 years; inspect once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Exemption policy: Household vehicles with 6 seats or fewer enjoy a 6-year exemption policy. The prerequisite for the 6-year exemption is that no major traffic accidents occur during this period. If an accident occurs, an on-site inspection is required. Vehicles with 7 seats or more do not enjoy the 6-year exemption policy and still need to be inspected once every 2 years in the first 6 years.

Why does the car shake when starting?

Car shaking during startup can be attributed to the following reasons: During a cold start, the internal operating resistance of the engine is very high, so the ECU injects more fuel, which can cause some shaking. When the oxygen sensor hasn't reached its operating temperature during a cold start, it can also lead to engine shaking. If the engine has a misfire (missing cylinder), it disrupts the smooth operation of the engine, resulting in shaking during a cold start. Some engines are particularly prone to carbon buildup; excessive carbon deposits in the engine can also cause shaking during a cold start. After a cold start, the engine temperature is relatively low. To quickly bring the engine up to operating temperature, the ECU controls the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, which can cause some shaking. This is normal.
