Hanging in third gear at idle speed will not keep the car running continuously. The functions of car gears are as follows: 1. First gear: Starting gear, used for initiating the car's movement, not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. 2. Second gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating roads and handling complex situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded and bustling areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3. Third gear: Transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. It allows for easy acceleration to fourth gear or deceleration to second gear. 4. Fourth gear: Cruising gear, mainly used for extended high-speed driving and economical operation. Most vehicles achieve their economical speed in the lower speed range of fourth gear.

Are the batteries of new energy vehicles replaced for free?

New energy vehicle batteries can indeed be replaced for free within the warranty period, but there are some restrictions. Some manufacturers also have special warranty regulations. Introduction to New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. Classification of New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles include hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), hydrogen engine vehicles, as well as gas vehicles, alcohol ether vehicles, etc.

Where is the choke open position on Honda 125?

On the Honda 125, moving the choke lever upwards opens it, while moving it downwards closes it. Choke construction: There are two types of choke construction. One is an automatic electric choke, and the other is a manual choke. The manual choke is more intuitive, offers stable control, and requires no adjustments. The driver simply feels the length of the cable pulled out to adjust the mixture concentration. Function of the choke: During cold engine starts, the choke partially closes the air intake to increase the fuel concentration in the air-fuel mixture entering the cylinder, improving engine starting performance. Once the engine is running normally, the choke should be fully opened. Otherwise, an overly rich mixture can cause the engine to malfunction and increase fuel consumption. In fuel-injected engines, this process is automatically controlled and requires no manual operation.

Is it allowed to make a U-turn at an intersection without traffic lights?

It is allowed to make a U-turn at an intersection without traffic lights. Permissible U-turn scenarios are as follows: Presence of U-turn signal lights or signs: When there is a U-turn signal light at the intersection, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn indicator is green. If there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turn permission, a U-turn can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. No U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (no prohibition signs): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and no U-turn prohibition signs or markings are present. Note that vehicles must proceed according to the left-turn signal light without disrupting the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting zone, you may enter the waiting zone when the straight signal is green and wait until the left-turn signal turns green before making the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Both white and yellow dashed lines permit U-turns. For double yellow lines (one solid, one dashed), check whether your side is dashed. If it is, a U-turn is allowed safely; if solid, U-turns are prohibited. At intersections with double yellow lines, U-turns can be made on the dashed side but must not cross the stop line ahead. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Yellow grid areas prohibit parking, but as long as there is no central barrier, a U-turn can be made after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turns are allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: When the green belt has dashed lines ahead, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn there. If the green belt has solid lines ahead, vehicles must obey the traffic signal, cross the pedestrian crossing before making a U-turn, and must not cross solid lines or the pedestrian crossing.

Can Rear-Wheel Drive Cars Drift?

Ordinary rear-wheel drive cars cannot drift, but modified rear-wheel drive cars can. Introduction to Drifting: Drifting is a driving technique, also known as "tail sliding." The driver causes the car to slide sideways by oversteering. This is usually compared to grip turning. Drifting is mainly used in performances or racing events with significant changes in road conditions. Due to the friction characteristics of the road surface, drifting is frequently applied in off-road rally races, while other types of speed racing rarely use drifting techniques for turning. This is because drifting on ordinary asphalt roads results in significant speed loss and increased tire wear. Unless under special circumstances, drivers do not frequently use this technique during competitions. Methods of Drifting: Pull the handbrake while driving straight and then turn the steering wheel; pull the handbrake during a turn; slam the brakes while driving straight and then turn the steering wheel; slam the brakes during a turn; for rear-wheel drive cars with sufficient power, slam the accelerator and turn the steering wheel when the speed is not too high.

Can a mortgaged car be purchased after the mortgage is released?

Mortgaged car can be purchased after the mortgage is released. Definition of mortgaged car: Simply put, a mortgaged car is a loaned car, which refers to a car that the owner mortgaged to a bank or lending institution when taking out a loan. Mortgaged cars can be roughly divided into two types: one is a vehicle purchased through bank installments, and the other is a vehicle mortgaged to an individual or company for a loan. Conditions for buying and selling mortgaged cars: The mortgage on the car must first be released before it can be bought or sold according to the normal vehicle transaction procedures. Otherwise, the buyer cannot obtain ownership of the vehicle; the buyer only has the right to use the vehicle.

How often should the differential oil be changed?

For vehicles that are frequently driven, the differential oil can be changed every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. For specific models, please refer to the maintenance manual. The function of differential oil: Differential oil is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent tooth surface wear, scuffing, sintering, etc., extend their service life, and improve power transmission efficiency. Characteristics of differential oil: Gear oil should have good anti-wear and load-bearing properties, as well as appropriate viscosity. Differential oil should also have excellent thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention. Since gear loads generally exceed 490 MPa, and hypoid gear surface loads can reach up to 2,942 MPa, extreme pressure anti-wear additives are commonly added to gear oil to prevent oil film rupture and subsequent tooth surface wear and scuffing. Sulfur-phosphorus or sulfur-phosphorus-nitrogen type additives are widely used.
