The reason why the Honda Civic automatic transmission makes noise when starting is mainly because the speed of releasing the brake is too slow when starting, which is a common problem with many automatic transmission cars. When the brake pedal is slowly released, the engine already has enough power to drive the car forward, but the brake is not completely released. As a result, the moving wheels are held back by the brake system, naturally causing noise, which is a normal phenomenon. Car starting techniques are as follows: Starting on a flat road: The key action for starting on a flat road is the coordinated cooperation of the clutch and the accelerator, that is, the clutch-accelerator coordination. After lifting the clutch pedal to the engagement point, slowly lift it further while gradually pressing down the accelerator pedal. Starting on an uphill slope: The key to starting a car on an uphill slope is to overcome the uphill resistance and prevent the car from rolling backward. In addition to the essentials and operations of starting on a flat road, it is also necessary to pay attention to the close coordination of the parking brake lever, clutch pedal, and accelerator pedal operations.

What tires are used for the 2017 Lavida?

The 2017 Lavida uses Hankook OPTIMO-k415 tires with a tire size of 205/55R16. Hankook Tire was established in 1941 as Korea's first tire company, providing radial tires for passenger cars, light trucks (SUVs, RVs, etc.), trucks, buses, and special racing vehicles. Hankook has five R&D centers worldwide, ensuring its tires meet the needs and enhance customer satisfaction in each region. Hankook Tire products are available in over 180 countries and regions globally and entered the Chinese market in 1996. For the 2017 Lavida's tires, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a hidden risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, park to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road.

What does it mean when the EPC light stays on?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two scenarios: during the power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is a pre-driving check of all vehicle sensors. Typically, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC light stays on under other conditions or remains illuminated for an extended period after the vehicle is started, the possible causes include faults in the engine intake system, throttle body, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake lights. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will activate if the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle body fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle body. Additionally, dirt accumulation can affect intake, triggering the indicator light. Fuel system fault: Issues such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization can cause the light to illuminate. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with components like the intake valves can also prompt the EPC light. ECU control unit fault: Interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alerts from the computer may lead to the light turning on. Brake light fault: Malfunctions like non-functional brake lights, faulty brake switches, or brake wiring issues can trigger the EPC light. Solutions for when the EPC light illuminates: Troubleshoot the intake system, use the appropriate fuel grade, clean the throttle body, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant parts. Re-flash the ECU data. When the EPC light comes on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the light remains on. If it does not, the issue may have been a temporary glitch. If the light stays on or frequently illuminates, it is advisable to drive to the nearest service center for professional diagnosis and timely resolution of potential safety hazards. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system primarily includes controllers and sensors related to the powertrain. When sensor data deviates from normal values, the EPC system takes predefined actions to manage the powertrain. Common EPC indicator lights are usually displayed in two colors: yellow and red. A yellow EPC fault light indicates that the vehicle can still be driven, but it should proceed slowly to a repair facility. A red EPC fault light signifies a more serious issue, requiring immediate pulling over and contacting a professional for repairs. Continuing to drive with a red light may damage core components or compromise driving safety.

How Often Should Major and Minor Maintenance Be Performed?

Minor and major maintenance are performed alternately at certain intervals. For most vehicle models, minor maintenance is required every 5,000 kilometers or six months, while major maintenance is needed every 20,000 kilometers or one year. Minor maintenance refers to routine maintenance tasks performed at the manufacturer's recommended time or mileage intervals to ensure vehicle performance, including oil and oil filter replacement. Major maintenance includes additional tasks such as replacing the oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter at the manufacturer's specified intervals. Vehicle maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as vehicle servicing. Below is a detailed explanation of minor maintenance tasks: Oil Replacement. Engine oil must be replaced as it is considered the "blood" of the engine. The engine is the most critical and vulnerable component of a vehicle, and any issues with it can severely impact the car's performance. Engine oil plays a vital role in lubrication, shock absorption, cooling, and reducing engine wear. Oil Filter Replacement. Replacing the oil filter is essential as it filters out impurities such as dust, carbon deposits, and metal particles from the oil, thereby better protecting the engine. Major maintenance includes the following additional tasks beyond minor maintenance: Fuel Filter Replacement. The fuel filter should be replaced according to the vehicle's manual, as the replacement intervals and mileage vary for different cars. Cabin Air Filter Replacement. The cabin air filter effectively filters harmful substances from the air, maintaining fresh air inside the vehicle and creating a comfortable driving environment. If not replaced for a long time, it can lead to unpleasant odors in the car. Antifreeze Replacement. Antifreeze primarily prevents freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and also protects against scale and corrosion. Therefore, regular antifreeze replacement is necessary. Brake Fluid Replacement. Due to its water-absorbing properties, brake fluid can separate into oil and water over time. Since their boiling points differ, the fluid's performance degrades, affecting braking effectiveness. Brake fluid is recommended to be replaced after 40,000 kilometers. Power Steering Fluid Replacement. Power steering fluid is crucial as it is the hydraulic fluid used in the power steering pump. It allows for easy steering wheel operation, similar to automatic transmission fluid and brake fluid, and should be replaced periodically. Spark Plug Replacement. Spark plugs are vital for engine performance. Over time, worn spark plugs can cause uneven engine operation, leading to vibrations. In severe cases, cylinder deformation may occur, increasing fuel consumption. Spark plugs should be replaced at around 60,000 kilometers, but immediate inspection is advised if they fail or fuel consumption rises. Transmission Fluid Replacement. For automatic transmission vehicles, fluid replacement is recommended at around 80,000 kilometers, while manual transmission vehicles can consider replacement at 120,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid ensures proper transmission operation and extends its lifespan. After replacement, gear shifts will feel smoother, preventing transmission vibrations, noise, and gear jumping. If abnormal shifting, vibrations, or gear jumping occur, inspect the transmission fluid promptly. Tire Replacement. Common reasons for tire replacement include reducing noise, wear and tear, or personal preference. Except for wear-related replacements, others depend on the owner's specific needs.
