When driving uphill with a CVT transmission, shift to the M (Manual) or L (Low) gear to maintain higher torque output from the engine for climbing. Car gear operations: 1. D is the Drive gear, used for normal road driving; 2. R is the Reverse gear, which can only be engaged after the car has come to a complete stop; 3. P is the Parking gear, used when the car is stationary and should be engaged along with the handbrake; 4. L is the Low gear, which provides greater power output; 5. N is the Neutral gear, used when the car is temporarily stopped; 6. W is the Winter gear, suitable for driving on slippery or snowy surfaces; 7. E is the Economy gear; 8. S is the Sport mode driving gear. Precautions for gear shifting: 1. Ensure the gear is in N or P before starting the engine, and remember to press the brake pedal when starting; 2. Gear shifting should be timely, accurate, decisive, and quick, avoiding hesitation; 3. Upshift after accelerating and downshift after decelerating; 4. Use D gear for driving on flat and straight roads; 5. No need to press the shift button when switching between N, D, and 3rd gear.

Is it allowed to turn right at a red light?

Turning right at a red light is permitted, provided there is no sign prohibiting right turns at the intersection. However, there is a prerequisite: the right turn must not interfere with the normal flow of traffic, and pedestrians on the crosswalk must be given the right of way. When making a right turn, vehicles must be in the right-turn lane. If a vehicle attempts to turn right from a straight or left-turn lane, traffic authorities will penalize it for running a red light. Therefore, if you intend to turn right, you should change lanes in advance. Waiting until the light turns red to change lanes may result in crossing solid lines, which is a traffic violation and can cause congestion. Legal Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the regulations regarding traffic lights are as follows: Article 25, Paragraph 2: Traffic signals include traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, and the directions of traffic police. Article 26: Traffic lights consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 38: Vehicles and pedestrians must follow traffic signals. In the presence of traffic police directing traffic, their instructions must be followed. On roads without traffic signals, passage should be conducted under the principles of safety and smooth traffic flow. Article 62: Pedestrians crossing intersections or roads should use crosswalks or pedestrian facilities. At signalized crosswalks, pedestrians must obey the traffic signals. At unsignalized intersections or road sections without crosswalks, pedestrians should cross only after confirming safety. Article 89: Pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic laws and regulations regarding passage will be given a warning or fined between 5 and 50 yuan. Non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to pay fines may have their vehicles impounded. Motor vehicle drivers who violate traffic light regulations will be penalized with 6 demerit points. Right-Turn Precautions: Observe oncoming straight-moving vehicles: When turning right, check both the right and left sides for approaching vehicles. Watch for opposing left-turning vehicles: In addition to straight-moving vehicles, be mindful of any vehicles making left turns from the opposite direction. When turning right, yield to vehicles coming from the left, whether they are turning left or going straight. Be aware of pedestrians: During a right turn, pay attention to pedestrians on crosswalks, which may be present both before the intersection and at the corner.

What are the reasons for high water temperature in Geely Vision?

There are five main reasons that may cause the engine water temperature to be too high in a Geely Vision: 1. Poor radiator heat dissipation. 2. Damage to electronic components in the cooling system. 3. Thermostat failure. 4. Cooling fan malfunction. 5. Insufficient coolant. Solution: It is best to promptly take the Geely Vision to a nearby repair shop for inspection and troubleshooting to prevent further engine damage. If the engine temperature is too high and cannot be cooled, the engine may not withstand it. You can let the engine idle for a short period to allow continuous coolant circulation, which can help mitigate the impact of high temperature on the engine.

What is the bolt pattern of the Chery Tiggo 3 wheel hub?

The bolt pattern of the Tiggo 3 is 5*114.3mm. The main parameters of a car wheel hub consist of three parts: wheel size, offset (ET), and center bore: 1. Wheel size is determined by two parameters, the rim diameter and rim width, which can usually be found on the engraved markings on the back of the wheel hub. 2. The offset, also known as ET, is the distance between the mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel hub. 3. The center bore is the large hole in the middle of the wheel hub, and it's important to note that the center bore size should be measured from the back for accurate data. The bolt pattern refers to the pitch circle diameter of the wheel hub's mounting screw holes.
