Electric vehicle air conditioners can provide heating. Below is a detailed introduction to the heating systems in electric vehicle air conditioners: 1. PTC Thermistor Heating System: The heating principle of the PTC thermistor system is similar to that of an electric stove, where heat is generated by the current passing through a resistor. Due to its simple structure, low cost, and fast heating capability, PTC heaters are widely used in pure electric vehicles (especially in mid-to-low-end models). 2. Heat Pump Heating System: The function of a heat pump is to transfer thermal energy from a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source, and its working principle is similar to that of an air conditioning refrigeration system. Compared to PTC heaters, heat pump systems have higher thermal efficiency, lower energy consumption, and relatively less impact on the vehicle's range.

How to Deal with Steering System Failure in Cars?

Car steering system failure causes and solutions are as follows: 1. Heavy steering: Foreign objects in the steering hydraulic line cause the steering pump flow control valve to stick; Loose connections in the power steering system lead to steering fluid leakage. Solution: Replace the steering oil pipe. 2. Steering noise: Overloading of the steering system causes excessive wear of the stator and rotor inside the steering pump, resulting in irregular movement of the oil in the pump and noise. Solution: Replace the steering fluid. 3. Steering system oil leakage: The oil seal at the interface between the oil pipe and the steering pump is damaged. Solution: Replace the new oil seal.

What is the best engine oil for Geely Vision?

According to the manufacturer's manual requirements, Geely Vision should use engine oil of the following grades under different conditions. Here are the specific instructions: 1. Summer: 20W-50, 15W-40 - API SJ or SL multi-grade oil. 2. Winter: 10W-30, 5W-30 - API SJ or SL multi-grade oil. The "0W-30" on the engine oil packaging label is the viscosity grade of the oil. This viscosity grade is classified according to the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard. The "W" stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in, and the better the protection for the engine during cold starts. The higher the number after it, the higher the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures, and the better the lubrication effect on the engine.

What is the difference between FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen?

FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen are both joint ventures of Volkswagen in China, but there are many differences between them, as follows: 1. Different shareholding ratios. SAIC holds a larger proportion, accounting for 60% of the shares, while FAW Group holds 40%. 2. Different models. The models produced by these two groups are different. The models used by FAW Group are almost all original designs of Volkswagen with few modifications. On the other hand, SAIC Volkswagen has many improvements, making them more suitable for Chinese tastes. 3. Different market positioning. FAW Group is more inclined towards the mid-to-low-end market and has not seized opportunities in the high-end market. In contrast, SAIC Volkswagen is more positioned in the high-end market, so many people buy SAIC Volkswagen to prove their status. 4. Different production lines. Although there is not much difference, both have their own independent production lines. 5. Different cooperation periods. SAIC Volkswagen is earlier than FAW-Volkswagen and has more seniority.

How to Check the Transmission Fluid in a Toyota Highlander?

Toyota Highlander transmission fluid check method is as follows: 1. There is a No. 14 screw at the bottom of the Highlander's transmission, with a hex socket pipe inside. This pipe is installed on the oil pan. 2. Start the engine when the vehicle is level and open the No. 14 screw. 3. If the fluid level is too high: The transmission fluid will overflow if the fluid level is higher than the pipe. 4. If the fluid level is normal or low: The fluid will not overflow. 5. Note: The check must be performed when the vehicle is warmed up. Here is additional information about checking car transmission fluid: 1. The method for checking transmission fluid is different from engine oil; engine oil is checked when cold, while transmission fluid needs to be preheated to around 50°C before checking. 2. When checking the fluid level, insert the dipstick into the pipe, pull it out, and check. If the fluid mark is between the upper and lower lines, the fluid level is just right.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light Stays On?

Solutions for when the tire pressure monitoring light stays on are as follows: 1. Drive slowly to a safe place, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, wait for 1-2 minutes, and then restart the vehicle. After the vehicle stabilizes, check the tire pressure value displayed on the dashboard. 2. Both insufficient tire pressure and overinflation can cause the tire pressure light to turn on. Drive the car to an auto repair shop or car care center to adjust the tire pressure. If you have a self-contained inflation device, you can adjust the tire pressure on the spot. 3. While inflating or deflating the tires, observe the tire pressure light on the dashboard. If the light turns off, stop inflating. If overinflated, release the excess air. 4. If the tire pressure light still does not turn off after adjustment, manually reset the tire pressure via the central dashboard. 5. If the vehicle does not support manual operation and the tire pressure is normal, have a technician use a specialized diagnostic tool to clear the fault code.
