Pressing the clutch disconnects the engine's transmission from the wheels, preventing the engine's power from being transferred to the wheels to drive the car. Releasing the clutch connects the engine's transmission to the wheels, allowing the power to be transferred to the wheels, and the car naturally moves. Here is additional information: 1. The function of the clutch: The clutch is one of the most frequently used components. How well the clutch is used directly reflects the driver's skill level and also helps protect the vehicle. 2. The three working states of the clutch: fully disengaged when the clutch is pressed, fully engaged when the clutch is not pressed, and partially engaged when the clutch is partially pressed. When starting the vehicle, pressing the clutch pulls the pressure plate backward, separating it from the friction plate. At this point, the pressure plate and flywheel are not in contact, so there is no relative friction.

How to Repair Scratches on Car Lights?

If there are numerous or severe scratches on the car lights, it is not recommended to repair them; replacement is necessary instead. For minor scratches, you can try polishing them with toothpaste. Below are specific methods for repairing scratches on car lights: 1. Polishing Repair: For longer scratches and cracks on car headlights, you can use fine wood sandpaper to sand them down, followed by polishing with polishing wax. This repair method is quick and convenient, providing effective restoration at a low cost. However, since the lamp surface is usually made of plastic rather than paint, the light transmittance will decrease once the wax components on the surface wear off. 2. Fumigation Repair: Using a heater along with alcohol as a volatilizer, special processed and mixed materials are attached to the lamp surface through steam to fill in the scratches, which are then sanded down to achieve a refurbishing effect. The repair can last for about two years.

What to Do If the Car Won't Start After Being Parked for a Long Time?

Solutions for when the car won't start after being parked for a long time are as follows: 1. Push-start method: Push the car to a certain speed, then shift into gear and quickly release the clutch pedal while pressing the accelerator. Once the engine starts, quickly depress the clutch pedal and control the throttle to prevent the engine from stalling, then slowly pull over to park. 2. Towing-start method: Start slowly, with the driver of the front car paying attention to the movement of the rear car, and the driver of the rear car signaling the front car promptly after the vehicle starts. Both cars should slowly pull over to the roadside to park, which is relatively safe and effective, though it may take some time. 3. Jump-start method: First, find a car with a charged battery and a set of jumper cables. Open the hood to locate the other car's battery, then connect the two batteries using the jumper cables.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lingpai?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Lingpai is 4.0-5.0L/100km. Currently, there are 10 models of the Lingpai on sale. The CVT Comfort Edition and CVT Luxury Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km. The CVT Smart Edition, CVT Phantom Night Edition, and CVT Flagship Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km. The Hybrid Comfort Edition, Hybrid Luxury Edition, Hybrid Flagship Edition, Hybrid Smart Edition, and Hybrid Phantom Night Edition have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.0L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 5.2-7.5L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine weighs about 1.2 tons and consumes about 7.5 liters of fuel (calculated under full load), while an SUV weighing about 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in different fuel consumption. Wind resistance: Higher wind resistance increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower wind resistance, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: The engine has a most economical torque output point during driving. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at about 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars achieve it at about 100 km/h. Keeping within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, increases fuel consumption.

What does the vehicle PPH value mean?

Automobile PPH value refers to the number of faults per hundred vehicles, indicating the average number of problems occurring in every hundred new vehicles. A smaller value represents better quality. Here is a detailed introduction to the automobile PPH value: 1. Calculation method: PPH result = number of problems occurring in the evaluated vehicles ÷ number of evaluated vehicles × 100. 2. Usage tips: The smaller the value, the lower the vehicle's failure rate, and the better the vehicle's quality. 3. Importance: When purchasing a car, owners should pay special attention to the PPH value, which can effectively reduce the frequency of car failures and extend the vehicle's service life.
