Reasons for engine shaking while driving: 1. The engine mount's function is to reduce vibration and provide cushioning during engine operation, as well as to secure the engine. Once the engine mount becomes aged or loose, engine shaking becomes noticeably abnormal. 2. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine reduces the car's ignition energy and intake efficiency, ultimately leading to symptoms such as engine shaking and sluggish acceleration. 3. Using incompatible fuel octane ratings can result in decreased car output power and reduced performance. Alternatively, if the fuel tank cap vent is blocked, or if the fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or the fuel line between the fuel tank and carburetor are partially obstructed, the required fuel supply cannot be met, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture and engine shaking. 4. If the air filter is not cleaned in time after prolonged use and becomes clogged, insufficient air intake will cause an overly rich combustible mixture, reducing engine power. For vehicles equipped with a turbocharger, any malfunction in the turbocharging device can also cause the engine to shake during acceleration.

What level is SN on engine oil?

SN on engine oil belongs to the second-grade gasoline engine oil level. Currently, the main gasoline engine oils still in use are SJ, SL, SM, and SN, with the highest grade being SP. Engine oils starting with "S" are specifically for gasoline engines and cannot be used in diesel vehicles. When choosing engine oil, you should not only consider what types of vehicles SN-grade oil is suitable for but also its viscosity. Even within the same SN grade, there can be different viscosity indices. The viscosity determines the oil's high and low-temperature performance, with the low-temperature flow characteristics and high-temperature viscosity determining the applicable range of the oil.

How to Turn On the Vehicle Tail Lights?

The method to turn on the vehicle tail lights is as follows: First, power on the car and start the engine, then turn on the headlight switch. Whether you activate the high beams or low beams, the tail lights will automatically turn on with the use of the lights. Tail lights serve to alert vehicles behind that there is a car ahead during nighttime driving and indicate the positional relationship between the two vehicles. The design principles of tail lights include: 1. Having sufficient luminous intensity so that the vehicle tail lights can be clearly distinguished by other drivers or pedestrians even in bright daylight; 2. Ensuring that the light emitted by the tail lights during nighttime driving does not cause glare or discomfort to other drivers or pedestrians.

How to Turn on the Leiling Headlights?

Method to turn on the Leiling headlights: Use the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. The default state after turning on the headlights is the low beam. Push it forward once to switch to the high beam. If it cannot be pushed forward in the default state, it means the high beam is already on. The Leiling is a compact car with body dimensions of 4640mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of power, the Leiling is equipped with a 1.2T 116-horsepower L4 engine, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 185 Nm.

How many car keys are usually provided when purchasing a car?

When purchasing a car, two keys are usually provided: one is the master key, and the other is a spare key. The car key set consists of a key and a metal or plastic tag. On this metal or plastic tag, there is usually a series of numbers printed, which is the key's tooth shape code. When a car key is lost, service stations or manufacturers can use this tooth shape code to reconfigure a new key for the owner. Different car models have different key functions. Taking the Shanghai Volkswagen Santana as an example, the Santana comes with three keys. They look similar in appearance, but in reality, only one is a spare key that can unlock the doors and start the engine.

Can ETC Be Transferred to Another Vehicle?

ETC cannot be transferred to another vehicle. The ETC card and OBU device must be bound to the vehicle for use, as the ETC electronic tag has a unique one-to-one correspondence with the registered vehicle—one card, one vehicle, one tag, dedicated to a specific vehicle. If an old ETC device and ETC card need to be bound to a new vehicle, you must visit an ETC service outlet to deactivate them first, then reactivate and input the new vehicle information before they can be used. ETC is a fully automatic electronic toll collection system and one of the service functions of intelligent transportation systems. It is particularly suitable for use on highways or in busy bridge and tunnel environments. Currently, highway toll stations have dedicated ETC toll lanes.

Does Shifting to Neutral Gear While Parking an Automatic Transmission Car Damage the Vehicle?

Shifting to neutral gear (N) while parking an automatic transmission car does not damage the vehicle. Although using N gear doesn't harm the car, it doesn't fully engage the brakes, posing a risk of the car rolling when in neutral. Therefore, it's best to shift to park (P) gear when parking. Below are the methods for parking an automatic transmission car and an introduction to the car's gear positions: Methods for Parking an Automatic Transmission Car: First, press the foot brake to stop the car, then shift the gear from drive (D) to neutral (N) and engage the handbrake. Release the foot brake but do not turn off the power, then press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N to park (P). Release the foot brake and turn off the power. Introduction to Car Gear Positions: B gear is the brake gear. When driving on a long downhill stretch, shifting to B gear engages engine braking, preventing overheating of the brake pads due to prolonged use of the service brake, which could lead to accidents. P gear is the parking gear. When parking, shifting to P gear engages the parking brake, preventing the car from rolling. R gear is the reverse gear, used when reversing the car. However, R gear should only be engaged when the vehicle is completely stopped, as shifting to R while moving can cause severe damage to the transmission. N gear is the neutral gear, used for temporary stops, such as waiting at traffic lights. D gear is the drive gear, used when moving forward. S gear is the sport mode, where the transmission freely shifts gears based on current speed and the driver's throttle input, though with a slight delay during shifts.
