In an automatic transmission car, the right pedal is the accelerator and the left pedal is the brake. Automatic transmission generally refers to the car's automatic gear shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The accelerator, also known as the throttle, is the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). The brake is the mechanical braking device that can slow down the car, also known as the decelerator. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake shoes on the brake drum, clamping the brake disc.

Is a tire pressure of 3.0 bar normal for Wuling Hongguang?

If the tire pressure reaches 3.0 bar when the car is cold, it is slightly too high. If the tire pressure reaches 3.0 bar when the car is hot, it is considered normal. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; It accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; Vehicle vibration increases, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; It causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Puncture resistance decreases. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Friction with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; It makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, creating unsafe driving conditions; It increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; It reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; It increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Honda Crosstour in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Honda Crosstour is 70 liters. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Honda Crosstour can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Honda Crosstour uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 9.1-9.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 707-769 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will accurately reflect on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What Causes White Oxidation Spots on Wheel Hubs?

The causes of white oxidation spots on wheel hubs are: 1. The wheel hub surface is scratched by hard objects, allowing air to directly contact the aluminum of the wheel hub, leading to oxidation at the damaged area; 2. Application of low-quality tire oil; 3. Residual cleaning agents left on the wheel hub that are not thoroughly cleaned, which over time cause oxidation and white spots on the wheel hub surface. The wheel hub is the central part of the wheel, fitting together with the tire assembly, mounted on the axle to support the tire, typically cylindrical in shape, and usually equipped with bearings to reduce friction. Wheel hubs can be categorized into two main types by material: steel wheel hubs and alloy wheel hubs. By surface treatment process, they can be divided into painted and electroplated types.

Does a Broken Sensor Have an Impact?

Yes, a broken sensor does have an impact, and the effects are as follows: 1. If the wheel speed sensor is damaged, the ABS will fail; 2. If the air flow meter is damaged, the engine's RPM will not rise; 3. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, the vehicle's emissions will exceed standards, and fuel consumption may increase; 4. If the water temperature sensor is damaged, the engine will have difficulty starting; 5. If both the crankshaft and camshaft speed sensors are damaged, the engine will not start at all; 6. If the throttle pedal position sensor is damaged, the engine will only operate in idle mode. A sensor is a detection device that can sense the measured information and convert it into electrical signals or other required forms of output according to certain rules, meeting the requirements for information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, and control.

How to Solve the Starting Jerk of Audi A6L's CVT Transmission?

Audi A6L's CVT transmission starting jerk can be resolved by cleaning the throttle body to ensure its smooth operation. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. Taking the Audi A6L 2021 40TFSI Luxury Elegance model as an example, this is a mid-to-large-sized car with a length, width, and height of 5038mm, 1886mm, and 1475mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3024mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 140kw and a maximum torque of 320nm, with the maximum power rpm ranging from 4200 to 6000 per minute, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Why is the rear tire wear more severe than the front tires on the Outlander?

The reason for more severe rear tire wear compared to the front tires on the Outlander is excessive rear wheel camber deviation, which can be corrected through precise four-wheel alignment. The main causes of tire wear are: 1. Overinflation; 2. Underinflation or prolonged overloading; 3. Misalignment of front wheel positioning, with excessive front wheel camber; 4. Non-parallel front and rear axles. Taking the Outlander 2021 2.0L 2WD Changxing Edition 5-seater as an example, its body dimensions are 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is multi-link independent suspension. The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive.
