If you drive at 100 km/h in 3rd gear for an extended period, it will reduce the lifespan of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Gear Shifting: When shifting to this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but there will be a delay in shifting, causing the engine to maintain high RPMs for a longer time. Driving at high RPMs in a low gear for an extended period results in greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Upshifting Technique: The key to smooth upshifting lies in the "acceleration" level. The distance for "acceleration" should be determined by the gear being shifted to—the higher the gear, the longer the "acceleration" distance required.

Why is the exhaust pipe constantly dripping water?

Dripping water from the exhaust pipe is caused by the condensation of water vapor generated after gasoline combustion. Below is a detailed explanation of why a car's exhaust pipe drips water: 1. Cause of dripping: It is the result of water vapor produced from gasoline combustion condensing in the exhaust pipe and muffler. When the ambient temperature is high, the water vapor is expelled before condensing. When the ambient temperature is low, the water vapor condenses into water droplets on the walls of the exhaust pipe and is expelled with the exhaust. 2. Precautions: If the engine emits a large amount of white steam during operation, check whether there is water accumulation in the fuel tank. Also, inspect whether the cylinder gasket is damaged, if there are cracks in the cylinder block, and whether the cylinder liner seal is intact. However, if the exhaust pipe emits black smoke or drips 'black water,' this phenomenon may indicate that the engine is burning oil.

Is the fuel consumption of Changan CS75PLUS high?

Changan CS75PLUS has an average fuel consumption of 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly related to driving habits and road conditions. Avoid stepping hard on the accelerator; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator heavily when starting, as heavy acceleration consumes 2 to 3 times more fuel than normal speed starts. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking saves more fuel. If you don't keep a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission vehicle will drop, and the vehicle will have to pull up from a low gear again. Starting from a standstill or in a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
