Car does not move when in D gear and pressing the accelerator because the hill-start assist is automatically activated. Hill-start Assist: Hill-start Assist, also known as Hill-start-Assist-Control. To prevent difficulty in starting on a slope, the hill-start assist control temporarily (for a maximum of about 3 seconds) applies braking to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. When starting on a steep or slippery slope, if the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle may roll backward, making it difficult to start. Configuration Reason: When hill-start assist control is not equipped, the driver must quickly and accurately switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. However, when equipped with hill-start assist control, because it prevents the vehicle from rolling backward, the driver can easily start the car and operate the pedals with ease.

Where is the Tianlong Exhaust Brake Fuse Located?

Tianlong exhaust brake fuse is located in the fuse box. The fuse box is usually near the engine, in front of the steering wheel. You can see it by opening the engine hood. Function of Exhaust Brake: The exhaust brake is used when going downhill, especially on long slopes. When the switch is turned on, the engine's exhaust is blocked, preventing exhaust gas from escaping. Since the vehicle is in gear at this time, the engine acts to brake the wheels. How to Use the Exhaust Brake: The exhaust brake is generally activated by a manual switch. To prevent the engine from stalling when stopping and to avoid the exhaust brake engaging during fuel injection, the exhaust brake is automatically released when the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal is pressed.

Will the paint definitely chip if the car door is bumped?

If the force used to open the car door is not too strong, generally speaking, the car door is not easily chipped. If the car door paint chips: It may be due to a certain impact on the door or poor treatment of the primer. If the paint chipping is severe, you can opt for a repaint. If the chipped area is small, it can be treated with touch-up paint. If the car door has minor paint chipping: If the primer is not damaged, the situation is not very serious. In fact, leaving it untreated does not affect the normal use of the car, as it does not impact the paint's lifecycle. It may just look slightly unattractive upon close inspection, and a car decal can be used to cover it.

Does Continuously Variable Transmission Mean Automatic Transmission?

Continuously variable transmission is a gearbox without discrete gear ratios, meaning it has no fixed gear positions. Working principle of continuously variable transmission: It works by wrapping both ends of a transmission belt around a conical pulley, where the outer diameter of the pulley changes continuously via hydraulic pressure. During startup, the driving pulley's diameter becomes the smallest while the driven pulley's becomes the largest, achieving a higher transmission ratio. Function of continuously variable transmission: Continuously variable transmission refers to a system that can continuously obtain any transmission ratio within its range. It enables optimal matching between the drivetrain and engine operating conditions. Common types include hydro-mechanical CVT, metal belt CVT (VDT-CVT), and variable-angle CVT.

What are the methods to identify stock vehicles?

Methods to identify stock vehicles are: 1. Check the vehicle's nameplate, which is located in the engine compartment, on the B-pillar of the right door, or inside the fuel tank cap. It will display key information such as the vehicle identification code, place of origin, and vehicle model; 2. Inspect the car's body paint. Over time, small spots and fine scratches may appear on the body; 3. Check the odometer of the new car. The mileage of most new cars should not exceed 50KM; 4. Verify the production date of the car tires. The production date of new car tires should correspond with the vehicle's production date; 5. Normally, the production date of the glass cannot be later than the vehicle's own production date. Each piece of car glass has a date code consisting of numbers and black dots.
