Information about gear selection when driving uphill is as follows: 1. When driving uphill, the appropriate gear depends on the climbing power of your vehicle. Each car has different climbing capabilities. For small slopes, use 4th gear if it provides sufficient power. 2. For moderate slopes, use 3rd gear if it's powerful enough. If 3rd gear isn't sufficient, shift to 2nd gear (you can shift either at the base or on the slope, but you need to master the coordination between clutch and throttle). 3. For steep slopes, try to use 2nd gear if it's powerful enough. If 2nd gear isn't sufficient, shift to 1st gear (shifting can be done either at the base or on the slope, but the key is to accurately judge the slope gradient in advance and coordinate clutch and throttle properly). This approach ensures economical fuel consumption and safe driving techniques.

What transmission is used in the Lamando?

The Lamando is paired with a brand-new 7-speed wet DSG dual-clutch transmission. This transmission, model DQ380, is developed based on the German DQ500 transmission. It can withstand a maximum torque of 420 N·m. Below are the specific details about the Lamando: 1. The Lamando is equipped with two engines across its lineup: a low-power version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. Both engines belong to Volkswagen's EA211 series. 2. The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, except it has two sets of clutches—one controls the odd-numbered gears, and the other controls the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions come in dry and wet types. The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil, whereas those in a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil.

What Causes the Black Screen of BMW's Reversing Camera?

The reasons for the black screen of BMW's reversing camera are: radio malfunction, host unit malfunction, or accessory circuit failure causing the reversing camera to display a black screen. Radio malfunction: First, check if the radio and video playback are functioning normally. If not, it may be due to a radio malfunction. Reversing camera circuit failure: If other functions are normal, try pressing and holding the volume power button, then restart the host unit and test again. If the black screen persists, it could be a host unit issue, or problems with the reversing camera probe or circuit. It is necessary to visit a 4S store for inspection and repair. If the host software is abnormal, a software upgrade may resolve the issue, or relevant accessories may need to be replaced. Accessory circuit failure: If the original vehicle does not come with a reversing camera, the issue may be due to accessory circuit failure, problems with the added probe itself, or incompatibility between the added reversing camera and the vehicle's system. In this case, it is necessary to have the added reversing camera inspected at the installation shop.

How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap on a Chevrolet Cruze?

Chevrolet Cruze features an integrated central locking system. The fuel tank cap can be opened as long as the car doors are unlocked. When the vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h, the fuel tank cap will automatically lock along with the doors. Below are three methods to open the fuel tank cap: 1. Mechanical Key Method: This type of fuel tank cap opening mechanism is relatively rare and is typically found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Most family cars nowadays do not use mechanical keys for opening due to their relatively complex operation. 2. In-Car Switch Method: The in-car switch is currently the most common way to open the fuel tank door, offering greater convenience compared to using a key. The location of the in-car switch varies among different car models; it may be on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, on the left front door panel, or on the center console, usually marked with a fuel pump icon. 3. Press-to-Open Method: The press-to-open mechanism is currently the most convenient way to open the fuel tank door. The driver only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can directly refuel the vehicle.

Has the oil dilution issue in Dongfeng Honda CR-V been resolved?

2021 Dongfeng Honda CR-V no longer experiences the engine oil dilution issue. Here are the relevant details: 1. Oil dilution occurs when gasoline flows into the engine oil. When the engine temperature is low, gasoline evaporation becomes less efficient, prompting the ECU to increase the injection pulse width to enrich the air-fuel mixture. However, with increased fuel injection, some gasoline may spray onto the cylinder walls, known as the wet wall effect. When fuel injection is excessive, the gasoline remaining on the cylinder walls may not fully combust and instead flows into the crankcase, causing the oil level to rise. 2. During cold starts and warm-up in low-temperature environments, fuel injection volumes are higher, leading to unburned gasoline flowing into the crankcase and mixing with the engine oil. This issue can be avoided when ambient temperatures are above 0°C. If the vehicle is driven over a longer distance, the gasoline in the oil can evaporate as the engine temperature rises. Therefore, vehicles in colder regions with shorter single-trip distances are more likely to experience oil dilution, while those with longer single-trip distances can evaporate the gasoline in the oil, preventing the issue.
