It cannot be driven. A tire pressure of 200 kPa is considered low. The normal tire pressure for motor vehicles is between 230 kPa and 250 kPa. Tire pressure below or above the normal range will affect the vehicle's driving performance. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and increases the risk of veering off course, posing safety hazards; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the tire bead area and abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a drastic reduction in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts; Increases tire body deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking, and generates flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does Jetour Need?

Jetour requires 4 liters of engine oil when fully filled. Generally, it is sufficient to maintain the oil level between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Relevant details are as follows: Precautions for Adding Engine Oil: The engine oil can use a viscosity grade of 5W-40 semi-synthetic. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter should also be replaced. The oil level should generally be kept between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Try not to let it fall below the middle mark, as insufficient oil will reduce lubrication effectiveness. It is acceptable to have slightly more oil, but never exceed the upper limit on the dipstick, as this can create unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil, also known as motor oil, lubricates the engine to reduce friction, assists in cooling, provides sealing to prevent leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the base oil's performance, providing additional benefits. Additives are a crucial part of engine oil.

Is the BMW 3 Series A for internal circulation or M?

BMW's internal circulation A and M are two modes of the AUC (Automatic Air Recirculation Control) system in the vehicle. A stands for automatic internal and external circulation, which automatically determines whether internal or external circulation is needed based on the air quality inside the car. M stands for internal circulation. The functions of external and internal circulation are as follows: Function of external circulation: External circulation primarily serves the purpose of ventilation, so it should be activated when the air inside the car becomes stale. During high-speed driving, if the car is sealed and only internal circulation is used, it can easily lead to insufficient oxygen inside the vehicle, which may cause driver fatigue, lack of concentration, and pose potential hazards. Function of internal circulation: Internal circulation is a state of the car's air conditioning system. In this state, the air exchange channels between the inside and outside of the car are closed. When the fan is off, the airflow inside the car does not circulate. When the fan is on, the air drawn in comes only from inside the car, creating an internal airflow circulation within the vehicle.

Should the Filter Be Replaced When Changing Transmission Fluid?

When changing the transmission fluid, it is essential to replace the filter as well. This is because the filter continuously cleans the transmission fluid as the vehicle operates. Over time, metal shavings and sludge accumulate in the filter. If the filter is not replaced along with the transmission fluid, the cleaning effect will be compromised. Additionally, accumulated contaminants may break free from the filter, potentially clogging oil passages and affecting transmission performance. Here is more information about transmission fluid: 1. Transmission fluid serves multiple purposes, including cooling, lubrication, and power transmission. Many transmission shift control mechanisms rely on the fluid to function. Prolonged neglect of fluid changes can lead to failures in these control systems. 2. In torque converter transmissions, the torque converter—which connects to the engine—is filled with transmission fluid. In such transmissions, the fluid also plays a role in power transfer. 3. There are two methods for changing transmission fluid: the gravity drain method and the flush method using a specialized machine. The flush method is recommended despite its higher cost, as it removes more old fluid and ensures a cleaner, more thorough replacement. 4. When purchasing transmission fluid, opt for the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) fluid. OEM fluids undergo rigorous testing by manufacturers to meet the transmission's requirements under various operating conditions.

How to Check the Oxygen Sensor?

Oxygen sensor inspection methods are as follows: 1. Heater resistance check: Unplug the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector and use a multimeter to measure the resistance at the sensor terminals. If it does not meet the standard, replace the oxygen sensor. 2. Feedback voltage measurement: Unplug the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector. When measuring the feedback voltage, refer to the vehicle's circuit diagram, connect a thin wire from the feedback voltage output terminal of the oxygen sensor, then reconnect the harness connector. Measure the feedback voltage from the wire while the engine is running. 3. Maintain engine speed: Keep the engine running at around 2500 rpm and check if the voltmeter needle swings between 0-1V. Count the number of swings in 10 seconds. Normally, the feedback voltage should fluctuate around 0.45V, with at least 8 changes in 10 seconds. 4. Check for damage to the oxygen sensor: Unplug the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector to disconnect it from the ECU, placing the feedback control system in open-loop mode. 5. Inspect the oxygen sensor's appearance color: (1) Light gray tip: This is the normal color of an oxygen sensor; (2) White tip: Caused by silicon contamination, the oxygen sensor must be replaced; (3) Brown tip: Caused by lead contamination; if severe, the oxygen sensor must also be replaced; (4) Black tip: Caused by carbon buildup. After resolving the engine carbon deposit issue, the carbon on the oxygen sensor can usually clear automatically.

What Causes Intermittent Operation of the Reverse Radar?

The full name of the vehicle radar is "Reverse Anti-Collision Radar" or "Parking Assistance Radar," which is used to detect the distance between the vehicle body and other vehicles or obstacles. It alerts the driver through sound or a display screen to avoid unnecessary collisions while maneuvering or reversing. Possible reasons for intermittent operation of the reverse radar are as follows: 1. Sensor malfunction or poor internal contact. Repair method: When the vehicle is in reverse mode, place your ear close to the sensor surface and listen carefully for a faint ticking sound (compare with a normally functioning sensor). If the sound is normal, it indicates the sensor's power supply is functioning correctly. Check the signal connection between the sensor and the controller. Generally, erratic flashing of the green indicator light on the dashboard is caused by a faulty sensor. Replacing the faulty sensor should resolve the issue. 2. System display malfunction. Repair method: Check the connection between terminals 4, 5, 6, and 11 of the 12P connector on the controller side and the combination meter. If the signal is normal, replace the combination meter. 3. System buzzer malfunction. Repair method: Check for DC +12V power output between terminal 12 and terminal 1 of the 12P connector on the controller side (ensure the system is in obstacle detection mode during inspection). If the signal is normal, check for DC +12V power between terminal 1 and terminal 6 of the reverse radar 6P connector located behind the dashboard. If the power supply is normal, replace the combination meter.

What is the battery model for the 2019 Nissan X-Trail car key?

The battery model is CR2032. It is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C- indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R- indicates that the battery shape is cylindrical, and if it is square, F is used instead; 20 indicates that the battery diameter is 20mm; 32 represents the battery height of 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity is around 200mAh. CR2032 typically has a lifespan of 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is not high or quality control is poor, its lifespan will be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. If the usage environment is ideal (sealed, room temperature, free from moisture, etc.), the lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. The usage time of the car remote key battery is closely related to the frequency of use. The more frequently it is used, the shorter the usage time will be. If the remote key battery runs out, you can directly use the mechanical key to open and start the vehicle. The battery used in car remote keys is a button cell, mainly using three types of batteries: CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032. For the specific model used in each vehicle, owners can refer to the battery model in the user manual for replacement. Button-type CR2016 battery: The usage rate of this battery in car key remotes is very high, making it one of the most common car remote batteries. The battery voltage is 3V, while general car key batteries are powered by 9V, so three batteries need to be replaced each time. Examples include: Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc. CR2016 specifications: battery diameter 20mm, thickness 1.6mm. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than CR2016. However, some car keys still use it. It is thicker than the 2016 model but has a relatively higher storage capacity. CR2025 specifications: battery diameter 20mm, thickness 2.5mm. This type of battery is also commonly used in audio remotes. Button-type CR2032 battery: Its thickness is twice that of CR2016. The 3V-CR2032 lithium manganese battery belongs to the lithium-manganese dioxide structure. The positive electrode material is chemically very stable manganese dioxide, the negative electrode material is lithium metal, and the electrolyte is a lithium battery. The main components of the electrolyte are dimethoxyethane, propylene carbonate, and lithium perchlorate. Its shape resembles a button, hence it is referred to as a button lithium battery or lithium manganese button battery.
