Cars are most vulnerable when exposed to sunlight after being rained on without drying. The reasons are as follows: 1. Reason: Raindrops adhering to the car body act like small magnifying glasses. When sunlight hits the car's paint surface under these 'magnifying glasses,' it can scorch the paint. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can also cause the paint to lose its luster. 2. Daily Maintenance: Since rainwater is acidic, failing to wash the car after rain can lead to paint erosion. Moreover, with declining air quality, rainwater now contains many impurities. Therefore, car owners should wash their cars again after exposure to rain.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2015 Santana?

2015 Santana has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, which is the officially announced data. The 2015 Santana DSG version requires 95-octane fuel, while other versions require 92-octane fuel. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers ranges from 6.0 to 6.2 liters, and a full tank can cover a distance of 887 to 916 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. When there are only 2 segments left, it is advisable to refuel to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.

Should the Clutch Be Depressed When Braking in Neutral?

Braking in neutral requires depressing the clutch. Below is a related introduction to the clutch: 1. Function: The clutch acts like a switch, engaging or disengaging the power transmission. The clutch mechanism allows its driving part and driven part to temporarily separate or gradually engage, and it may also rotate relative to each other during the transmission process. 2. Importance: For manual transmission vehicles, the clutch is a crucial component of the powertrain, responsible for disconnecting and connecting the power to the engine. When driving on urban roads or in complex road conditions, the clutch becomes one of the most frequently used components. The proficiency in using the clutch directly reflects the driver's skill level and also helps protect the vehicle.

What is the principle of Tesla's single-pedal design?

Tesla's single-pedal principle involves using the accelerator pedal to perform vehicle operations such as starting, accelerating, and decelerating. Below is an introduction to Tesla-related content: 1. Electric Vehicles: Electric vehicles refer to vehicles powered by an onboard power source, using electric motors to drive the wheels, and meeting all road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their future prospects are widely optimistic, although current technology is not yet mature. 2. Pure Electric Vehicles: Compared to fuel-powered vehicles, the main differences lie in the four major components: the drive motor, speed controller, power battery, and onboard charger. Instead of gas stations, they rely on public ultra-fast charging stations. The quality differences of pure electric vehicles depend on these four components, and their value is also determined by the quality of these components. The applications of pure electric vehicles are directly related to the selection and configuration of these four major components.

Why is there smoke after changing the engine oil?

There are mainly three reasons: 1. Too much engine oil: It is recommended to check whether the oil level is between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. 2. Engine oil leakage: Oil leakage can occur due to direct cylinder oiling, which indicates the need for a medium repair; or due to aging valve seals or other oil seals related to the cylinder that are not sealing tightly. 3. High oil viscosity: Before changing the oil, the viscosity of the oil is relatively high, so new oil is prone to leakage. Things to note when changing oil: 1. Choose good engine oil: Good engine oil can make the car more durable and powerful. Besides protecting the engine, good oil can also reduce the frequency of oil changes. 2. According to the engine requirements: The selection of engine oil should be based on the requirements of the engine. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements.
