You can turn on the air conditioning when the car is off, but it will not provide cooling functionality. Additionally, prolonged use can easily drain the battery, so it is not recommended to keep the air conditioning on for extended periods while the car is off. If you need to ventilate the car using the air conditioning, switch to the external circulation mode to allow fresh air to enter the cabin. The maintenance methods for car air conditioning include: 1. Clean the air vents promptly; 2. Maintain the air conditioning condenser regularly; 3. Clean or replace the air conditioning filter in a timely manner. The functions of car air conditioning are: 1. Filtering the air entering the cabin; 2. Absorbing moisture from the air; 3. Keeping the air clean and preventing bacterial growth; 4. Preventing fogging on the windows; 5. Adjusting the cabin temperature.

China VI standard gasoline is ethanol gasoline, which is an alternative fuel formed by blending fuel ethanol processed from grains and various plant fibers with regular gasoline in a certain proportion. According to China's national standards, ethanol gasoline is a mixture composed of 90% regular gasoline and 10% fuel ethanol. From an environmental perspective, ethanol gasoline is better as the ethanol in it is a renewable resource, and as an automotive energy source, its emissions are cleaner. The China VI vehicle pollutant emission standards are established to implement the Environmental Protection Law and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, aiming to prevent and control pollution from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health.

What is the difference between Audi quattro and Torsen?

Torsen is a center differential, while Audi quattro is the general term for the entire four-wheel drive system. The following are specific introductions to the related content: Toyota Torsen: Advantages: The electronic transfer case makes the differential lock more intelligent. High-strength steel and laser welding effectively compensate for the rigidity issues of the unibody. Disadvantages: The electronic limited-slip differential alone cannot output 100% of the power to a single wheel. Torsen is full-time, which has a slight impact on fuel consumption. Audi quattro: Advantages: Strong off-road capability. Excellent handling performance. C: Lower fuel consumption compared to older models. Disadvantages: Reduced off-road performance. The multi-plate clutch is prone to overheating.

What is the difference between China-spec vehicles and parallel imported vehicles?

The difference between China-spec vehicles and parallel imported vehicles lies in their distributors: China-spec vehicles are officially authorized and imported by manufacturers, mostly introduced by domestic general agents and sold through 4S stores; parallel imported vehicles are not authorized by manufacturers and are introduced by other dealers. Most parallel imported vehicles do not come with after-sales services, though some specialized parallel import dealers may provide such services for their customers. Many parallel imported vehicles are U.S.-spec or Canada-spec. Before purchasing a parallel imported vehicle, it is essential to find a reliable and professional dealer specializing in such vehicles. After receiving the vehicle, always check if all accompanying documents are complete, as incomplete documentation may prevent the vehicle from being registered.

What is the standard amount of refrigerant to add for the Baojun 730?

Baojun 730 requires approximately 4 to 5 bottles of refrigerant. Below is relevant information: Function of refrigerant: The refrigerant utilizes its physical changes to remove heat from the vehicle cabin. Under high pressure, the refrigerant turns into a liquid while releasing heat. Effects of overfilling refrigerant: Increased pressure in the air conditioning system, triggering high-pressure alarms in the car's AC, frequent interruption of compressor operation; reduced cooling efficiency; damage to AC components; potential bursting of AC pipelines. The refrigerant discharge process is as follows: Prepare a car refrigerant recovery and charging machine along with refrigerant tanks, connect the machine's pipelines to the vehicle's AC high and low-pressure pipes, set the required refrigerant recovery capacity, and initiate the recovery process.
