New cars can switch from 95 to 92 gasoline after initial use, but once the fuel grade is determined, it should be consistently used. Strictly speaking, 92 and 95 gasoline should not be mixed. However, their chemical compositions and other aspects are relatively similar, with strong anti-knock properties. Generally, mixing them won't cause significant issues, but to ensure vehicle safety, it's best to use them separately. Additional information: 1. Generally, cars with a compression ratio between 8.5 and 9.5 should use 93 gasoline; cars with a compression ratio above 9.5 should use 95 gasoline. Currently, most domestic cars have a compression ratio above 9, so it's best to use 92 or 95 gasoline. 2. Car engines with higher compression ratios have greater power and fuel efficiency but often lack stability, requiring gasoline with better anti-knock properties. The advantage of 95 gasoline over 92 lies in its higher octane value, providing better anti-knock performance. Therefore, fuel should be added according to requirements. Some car owners believe that using higher-grade gasoline can enhance performance, but this is unnecessary because if the engine's compression ratio doesn't meet the standard, even the best gasoline won't make a difference.

What to Do If a Tire Blows Out on the Highway?

Here are the steps to take if a tire blows out on the highway: Method: If a tire blows out on the highway, firmly grip the steering wheel. Stay calm, use engine braking to let the vehicle coast slowly, i.e., shift gears manually. Do not suddenly release the accelerator pedal; instead, gradually ease off the throttle, as a blown tire causes strong deceleration. Avoid pressing the brake pedal, as this can further destabilize the vehicle, leading to skidding or rollover. Maintain control of the steering wheel and avoid sudden turns. You can use intermittent braking—press and release the brake pedal rhythmically. Precautions: Whether a tire blows out on the highway or a regular road, whether you call for assistance or change the spare tire yourself, the first thing to do is to firmly hold the steering wheel. Avoid continuous braking, as this can increase the risk of rollover. Then, remember to turn on the hazard lights and place a triangular warning sign behind the vehicle.

Why Does the Car Sometimes Fail to Start?

There are generally two reasons why a car fails to start: human factors and vehicle usage factors. Human operational reasons: dead battery, empty fuel tank, incorrect gear position. Vehicle usage reasons: improper fuel quality, lack of antifreeze, excessive carbon buildup. A dead battery may result from prolonged headlight usage without turning them off, leading to battery drain. Alternatively, the battery may have reached the end of its lifespan. Installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also cause vehicle circuit failures. For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting. If placed in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car will fail to start. Some manual transmission cars may also fail to start if the clutch is not depressed. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle can also prevent it from starting. A solution is to frequently drive at high speeds to reduce carbon deposits. Additionally, there is a small trick for starting the car: before turning the key to the START position, first turn it to the ON position, then back, and then to START to ignite. This allows the computer to calculate the water temperature and optimal air intake, making the ignition smoother.

Can I Apply Window Film After Installing ETC?

You can apply window film after installing ETC. Just remove the ETC device before applying the film, wait until the film is firmly set, then go back to the ETC installation point for re-matching. Here are the advantages of having ETC: Higher efficiency at toll stations: The greatest advantage of ETC lies in its exceptionally high passing efficiency. Generally, the passing speed or efficiency of an ETC lane is about five times that of a manual toll lane. Normally, it takes an average of 14 seconds to pass through a toll station, but with ETC, you just need to brake slightly to reduce speed slightly, and it takes only about 3 seconds if there aren't many cars. Saves queuing time, no need to take cards: When driving on highways or passing through ramp entrances of ring roads, ETC significantly reduces queuing time. Moreover, you don't have to worry about whether you've brought cash or struggle to reach the card when stopping.

What is the difference between purchasing and not purchasing vehicle damage insurance?

The difference between purchasing and not purchasing vehicle damage insurance lies in the coverage. If you purchase vehicle damage insurance, the insurance company can compensate for the vehicle losses caused by traffic accidents within the agreed scope; if you do not purchase vehicle damage insurance, the vehicle losses caused by accidents can only be borne by the owner. In addition to vehicle loss coverage, vehicle damage insurance also includes coverage for theft of the entire vehicle, engine water damage, spontaneous combustion, separate glass breakage, no deductible, inability to find a third party, and designated repair shop coverage. The role of vehicle damage insurance: Vehicle damage insurance can mainly be used to compensate for damage to the insured vehicle caused by insured accidents (such as collisions, falls, mudslides, heavy rain, storms, hail, earthquakes, etc.); in addition, when an insured accident occurs, the insurance company can also bear the liability for the necessary and reasonable rescue expenses paid by the insured to prevent or reduce the loss of the insured vehicle. The coverage of vehicle damage insurance: Compensation for vehicle losses caused by collisions or overturning of the vehicle; compensation for vehicle losses caused by fire or explosion; compensation for losses caused by the collapse or fall of external objects or the parallel fall of the insured vehicle while driving; compensation for vehicle losses caused by natural disasters; compensation for vehicle losses caused by the insured vehicle's ferry suffering from natural disasters listed in the insurance contract.

What does TSL mean in cars?

TSI refers to a turbocharged direct injection engine, which is more advanced than FSI and belongs to the category of high-power, high-torque engines. The relevant introduction of turbocharging is as follows: Characteristics of turbocharging: The characteristic of turbocharging is that after the turbo engages, the engine's air intake efficiency increases, allowing the engine to deliver greater power. Meanwhile, mechanical supercharging can effectively compensate for the delay in turbocharging, as mechanical supercharging can provide a boosting effect to the engine right from idle speed. Comprehensive advantages of TSI engines: They have minimal power loss, relatively increased output power, and can achieve greater torque and horsepower with smaller displacements, thereby delivering enhanced performance.

How to Eliminate Static Electricity in Cars?

Before opening the car door, you can first touch the door with the metal part of the key. This way, you are less likely to get an electric shock when opening the door. The same applies when getting out of the car. Besides keys, small metal objects or cotton cloths can also be used. Wash your hands before driving or place your hand on a wall to remove static electricity. To avoid static shocks, use small metal objects (like keys) or cotton cloths to touch the door, seat back, or dashboard to discharge static electricity before touching them with your hands. Choose natural materials for car decorations and minimize the use of synthetic fabrics. Friction from synthetic fabrics is a major source of static electricity in cars. Therefore, when selecting seat covers, cushions, or floor mats, opt for leather, cotton, or other natural materials to reduce the use of synthetic products. This is especially important for seat covers, steering wheel covers, and floor mats. Placing a damp towel on the dashboard allows sunlight to quickly evaporate the moisture, increasing humidity inside the car and reducing the likelihood of static electricity. Car owners with better conditions can install a car humidifier to spray water mist periodically, preventing static electricity buildup.
