Turning off the ECO mode will disable the energy recovery system. Principle of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System: The basic principle is to store the vehicle's braking energy through technical means and release it as auxiliary power during acceleration! The specific usage method may mimic the A1's acceleration button. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System: Placing the flywheel in a vacuum box can indeed solve the issues of heat generation and wind resistance loss, but how to prevent the bearing from compromising the airtightness during the process of inputting and outputting power (to the flywheel)? Under current technology, electrical conversion is a viable option, but the energy loss is too severe.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise from the Left Front Wheel?

Solution: Abnormal engine noise indicates that the technical state of a certain engine mechanism has changed. This is mainly caused by excessive wear of some parts or improper assembly and adjustment. Some abnormal noises can even predict potential catastrophic damage to the engine. Therefore, when abnormal noise occurs in the engine, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the fault from worsening. Here are some tire maintenance suggestions: 1. When replacing a new tire, it is best to perform a four-wheel alignment to prevent tire wear or edge wear. 2. Check the tire pressure once a month, which should be between 2.2 and 2.8. The pressure on the same axle must be the same to prevent running deviation and uneven wear. 3. Occasionally use a hard object to pick out stones stuck in the tread. 4. Pay special attention when the tire is punctured by a nail or other objects; it is best to replace it with a spare tire promptly.

Is It Necessary to Install an Underbody Guard?

If you frequently drive on low-lying or gravel roads, it is necessary to install an underbody guard. Otherwise, over time, a lot of mud will accumulate in the chassis and engine compartment, which not only increases the car's fuel consumption but also affects its performance. On the other hand, if you mainly use the car for commuting in the city, installing an underbody guard is not necessary. Here is more information: 1. Definition of an underbody guard: The technical term for an underbody guard is automotive underbody anti-collision, anti-rust, and soundproofing coating, a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating. It is non-toxic, has high coverage and adhesion, and can be sprayed on exposed parts of the vehicle such as the chassis, lower body panels, and trunk. After drying quickly, it forms a strong and elastic protective layer. 2. Functions: It prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel, avoids moisture and salt from corroding the metal parts of the vehicle's chassis, prevents rust and corrosion, and ensures the safety of the driver.

What Causes Dual High Pressure in Car Air Conditioning?

Introduction to the causes of dual high pressure in car air conditioning: Excessive refrigerant, air entering the refrigeration system, or insufficient cooling due to condenser failure can all lead to dual high pressure in car air conditioning. When both the high and low pressures are higher than normal, it is referred to as "dual high." Common faults usually involve air in the system or excessive refrigerant. In such cases, the solution is to re-vacuum the system and add refrigerant. Below is an introduction to air conditioning maintenance: 1. Comprehensive air conditioning inspection: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, it is essential to inspect the air conditioning system. For example, check the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty through the liquid storage tank, and check for any foreign objects in the radiator. 2. Pay attention to air conditioning cleaning: The air filter should be replaced regularly to prevent moldy odors. Additionally, the condenser should be cleaned periodically, and the radiator should be removed for thorough cleaning.

If there are oil additives or if the old oil is not completely drained, the amount of oil to be added may vary. The exact amount should be determined based on the oil scale on the instrument panel, adding until the MAX mark is reached. 3. Turn the vehicle's power to the ON position and check the oil level using the electronic dipstick.
