Why Does the Engine Sound Louder When Starting on a Slope?

When going uphill, the speed decreases and the traction force increases. When the traction force exceeds what the engine can handle, noise is generated inside the engine. Therefore, it is normal for the engine sound to become louder when starting on a slope. Starting on a slope requires slow acceleration: When starting on a slope, slowly release the clutch pedal with your left foot until the vehicle begins to vibrate. Hold this position slightly to confirm whether the vehicle has the tendency and power to move forward. Do not continue to lift the clutch pedal to prevent stalling. Starting on a slope requires gradual throttle application: Only when the vehicle starts to move forward should the right hand fully release the handbrake and gradually apply throttle. If no throttle is applied when starting on a slope, the engine may stall due to insufficient idle speed, which cannot drive the vehicle up the slope.

What is the duration and start-end time for obtaining a driver's license?

The duration for obtaining a driver's license is three years. Below is some information about the driver's license examination: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. It is a written test conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. It is a practical test conducted in a designated area, with only pass or fail results. The test includes five mandatory items conducted in sequence: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and starting and stopping on a slope. The full score is 100, and a passing score is 80 or above (including 80). 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. It is a practical test conducted on a road or simulated area, with a full score of 100. The passing scores are 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge test. It is a written test with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).

What is the Start-Stop Function?

Start-stop function refers to the engine automatic start-stop function. The engine automatic start-stop means that when the vehicle temporarily stops during driving (such as waiting for a traffic light), the engine automatically shuts off. When it is time to move forward again, the system will automatically restart the engine. It is abbreviated as STT, which is a system that controls the engine's start and stop. Below is a partial introduction to the start-stop function: 1. Function: The function of the automatic start-stop is that when the vehicle is driving and needs to stop, the engine will automatically shut off; when it is time to drive again, simply depress the clutch, and the engine will automatically start, saving time. 2. Working Principle: The working principle of the start-stop system is that when the vehicle needs to stop due to congestion or at an intersection, the driver can press the brake pedal, stop, and shift to neutral. At this time, the Start/Stop system automatically detects conditions such as: the engine is idling and not in gear, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero, and the electronic battery sensor indicates there is sufficient energy for another start. The entire process remains in D gear.

What is the maximum speed limit for motor vehicles when entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes?

Motor vehicles must not exceed a speed of 30 kilometers per hour when entering or exiting non-motorized vehicle lanes. Below is relevant information about non-motorized vehicle lanes: 1. Introduction: A non-motorized vehicle lane refers to the lane on highways or urban roads, located between the right-hand sidewalk curb (or line) and the first vehicle lane division line (or barrier/island), or lanes marked on sidewalks. Except under special circumstances, these lanes are exclusively for non-motorized vehicles. 2. Lane Width: The width of non-motorized vehicle lanes is generally determined based on the types of non-motorized vehicles using them, their operational requirements, possible lateral combinations of various vehicles, and considerations for unfavorable scenarios like side-by-side driving and overtaking. Different width combinations may arise when various non-motorized vehicles mix in the lane, with a lateral safety distance of approximately 0.4 to 0.5 meters between two different types of non-motorized vehicles.

How Long Does Antifreeze Expire After Leaving the Factory?

Antifreeze expires 2~3 years after leaving the factory. Antifreeze replacement cycle: Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference cycle. For commercial vehicles with longer mileage, the replacement cycle is shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze's condition; if it is insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended matter, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are found in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Antifreeze plays a crucial role in the engine's cooling system.

What to Do If the Antifreeze Leak Cannot Be Located?

Antifreeze leaks can be categorized into external leaks and internal leaks. Below is an introduction to both types: 1. External leaks. This refers to situations where antifreeze leaks outside the engine system, such as in areas like hoses, hose connections, water pumps, radiator tanks, or heater cores. 2. Internal leaks. This refers to antifreeze leaking inside the engine. If the antifreeze level keeps decreasing without any visible external leaks, an internal leak may be the cause. Below are the reasons for internal leaks: 1. A damaged cylinder head gasket can cause coolant to enter the oil passages or combustion chamber. Coolant entering the oil passages can be identified by checking if the engine oil has emulsified. Coolant entering the combustion chamber will participate in combustion. If the spark plug's center electrode is wet or white smoke is emitted from the exhaust pipe during cold starts or driving, it can be concluded that there is an internal coolant leak. To address this issue, engine repair is required, including replacing damaged components like the cylinder head gasket. 2. Sand holes or fine cracks in the cylinder walls can also cause antifreeze to enter the combustion chamber. Sand holes are generally related to casting process issues, while cracks are often caused by improper use or maintenance, such as prolonged high-load operation, excessive thermal stress, or sudden exposure to cold water when the engine is hot. For such faults, if they cannot be repaired, the cylinder block must be replaced.
