Hybrid cars can be used long-term without charging. Here is relevant information about hybrid vehicles: Concept: Refers to vehicles equipped with two or more power sources: storage battery, fuel cell, solar cell, or generator set of internal combustion engine vehicles. Currently, hybrid electric vehicles generally refer to those combining an internal combustion engine generator with a storage battery. Advantages: After adopting hybrid power, the maximum power of the internal combustion engine can be determined according to average power needs, operating under optimal conditions with low fuel consumption and minimal pollution. When additional power is required beyond the internal combustion engine's capacity, the battery supplements it; during low-load conditions, surplus power can generate electricity to charge the battery. Since the internal combustion engine can operate continuously and the battery receives constant charging, its range is comparable to conventional vehicles.

What does vehicle inspection exemption mean?

Vehicle inspection exemption refers to the exemption from online vehicle inspection, but it does not mean that the vehicle does not need to be inspected. The new vehicle inspection policy exempts small private vehicles within 6 years from the biennial "online inspection". This means that every two years when regular inspection is required, the vehicle owner must provide proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, and after handling traffic violations and accidents, directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security bureau for the inspection label. The scope of "inspection exemption" applies to non-operational cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles within 6 years. If the vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident causing casualties during this period, it still needs to undergo inspection according to the original regulations.

Can You Add 92 Octane Gasoline When 95 Octane Is Not Completely Used Up?

Occasionally mixing 92 octane gasoline into a vehicle designed for 95 octane fuel will not cause issues, as gasoline is a mixture and the composition of different octane grades is quite similar. However, it is not recommended to frequently mix 92 octane gasoline for extended periods. 95 octane gasoline has a higher octane rating than 92 octane, and using 92 octane may lead to knocking or pre-ignition, significantly affecting the engine's performance and fuel efficiency. Long-term mixing of different octane grades can also shorten the lifespan of the vehicle's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, accelerating the need for major repairs. In severe cases, it may even damage the engine. The octane rating is an indicator of anti-knock performance and is largely unrelated to cleanliness, power, or combustion value. Higher octane gasoline provides better resistance to engine knocking. The differences between 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline are as follows: Different Octane Ratings: 92 octane gasoline: Contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 95 octane gasoline: Contains 95% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. Differences in Gasoline Quality: The octane rating represents the fuel's resistance to knocking. Higher octane fuels have better anti-knock properties, ensuring smoother engine operation, reduced wear, and better engine protection. Different octane ratings result in varying anti-knock performances. Gasoline is a mixture produced by blending a base gasoline with a certain amount of anti-knock additives, resulting in fuels with different anti-knock properties. Various gasoline components, such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline obtained from petroleum refining, are refined and blended with high-octane components, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines. While the chemical compositions of these two gasoline grades are similar, 95 octane gasoline offers higher fuel efficiency and provides more power to the vehicle. Generally, naturally aspirated cars use 92 octane gasoline, while turbocharged vehicles use 95 octane. Refueling Precautions: When refueling: Turn off the engine, avoid using phones or making calls, and do not use open flames at the gas station. Do not use phones or make calls inside the station. Always turn off the engine while refueling. If the station is crowded, queue in an orderly manner without cutting in line. Choosing Fuel: Always select reputable gas stations with high-quality fuel and avoid those with poor-quality gasoline. Long-term use of low-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine. It's essential to choose both a reliable gas station and the correct gasoline octane rating for your vehicle.

Can You Still Drive When the Coolant Level Warning Light Comes On?

When the coolant level warning light comes on, you should not continue driving. The warning indicates that the car's coolant is insufficient or the radiator temperature is too high. Continuing to drive may cause the engine temperature to rise further, leading to engine damage. To avoid unnecessary losses and for safety reasons, it is not recommended to keep driving. If the coolant warning is due to the engine overheating, it is advisable to pull over, keep the engine running at idle, open the hood to allow it to cool down until the temperature warning disappears. If the issue is insufficient coolant and you don't have coolant to refill immediately, you can add an appropriate amount of distilled water (soft water). Do not use tap water or other hard water, and do not add too much, as it can alter the coolant's boiling point.

What is the battery model for the Magotan remote control?

The battery model for the Magotan remote control is a CR2032 coin cell. Each Magotan remote key has a unique "code" which is also stored in the vehicle's anti-theft system. When replacing a new remote key, it must be matched with the original "code" in the car. Once completed, the new remote key can be activated, and the lost key will become invalid. The Volkswagen Magotan originates from the Future B6 and is the first B-class sedan produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812mm.
