When the car shows low engine oil, you should not continue driving and need to add engine oil before resuming operation. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of engine oil, determining its fundamental properties, while the additives compensate for and improve the deficiencies of the base oil, making them an essential part of engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. To buffer the pressure rise in the engine cylinder; 5. To clean dirt generated on the working surfaces of components.

What are the steps to turn on the air conditioning in an Accord?

The steps to turn on the air conditioning in an Accord are: 1. Press the car air conditioning button; 2. Turn on the AC on the center console; 3. Turn the temperature adjustment knob to the blue area; 4. Close the external circulation and roll up the windows; 5. Adjust the air outlet louvers. If there are passengers in the back seat, remember to turn on the rear air conditioning vents. Precautions for using the car air conditioning: 1. Do not rush to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in the car, as high interior temperatures can cause decorations to release toxic gases; 2. After getting in the car, open the windows first and then turn on the external circulation; 3. Turn on the car air conditioning only after the interior temperature has dropped; 4. Do not use the internal circulation continuously while driving, but alternate between internal and external circulation. The Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, equipped with a 2.4L i-VTEC engine, featuring direct injection, Atkinson cycle, and VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control), and introducing an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system, improving fuel economy by 13% and increasing maximum torque by 8%.

Where is the handbrake of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260L?

The Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with an electronic parking brake, located on the left side of the steering column, marked with a 'P' button. Details are as follows: 1. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class features an electronic parking brake: No manual operation is required. When the engine is turned off and the door is closed, the vehicle automatically engages the parking brake. For manual operation, press the 'P' button located below the left side of the steering wheel to engage the handbrake, and pull it to release. When shifting to P gear and turning off the engine, the dashboard automatically displays a 'P' symbol, indicating the electronic parking brake is engaged. For temporary stops, shift to N gear and manually press the electronic parking brake. Additionally, when waiting at traffic lights, firmly pressing the brake pedal will automatically display 'autohold' on the dashboard, effectively stopping the vehicle (equivalent to pressing the brake). To move forward, simply press the accelerator, making it very convenient. 2. Electronic parking brake: This technology uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is the same as the mechanical handbrake, both utilizing the friction between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking, but the control method has changed from the mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

Why does the air conditioning compressor freeze?

Reasons for air conditioning compressor freezing: 1. Excessive refrigerant charge often leads to excessively high condensation pressure in the refrigeration system, resulting in an excessive pressure difference between high and low pressures. This causes the liquid supply from the throttling component to exceed the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator, leading to liquid refrigerant returning to the compressor; 2. Improper design or adjustment of the throttling component, causing excessive refrigerant to return to the compressor and resulting in compressor freezing; 3. Blockage in the refrigeration system's return pipe leads to excessively high evaporation pressure, reducing the heat exchange capacity of the evaporator. This causes liquid refrigerant to return to the compressor, forming ice.

What are the classifications of automotive steering gears?

Automotive steering gears can be classified into: rack and pinion type, worm and roller type, and recirculating ball type. The rack and pinion steering gear is a common type, whose basic structure consists of a pair of meshing pinion and rack. When the steering shaft drives the pinion to rotate, the rack moves linearly. The worm and roller type steering gear uses the worm as the driving component and the roller as the driven component, typically employed in trucks requiring greater steering force. The recirculating ball type steering gear mainly consists of two parts: the mechanical part and the hydraulic part. The mechanical part includes the housing, side cover, upper cover, lower cover, recirculating ball screw, rack nut, rotary valve spool, and sector gear shaft.

How to Remove a Broken Spark Plug?

There are several methods to handle a broken spark plug: 1. Welding Method: This approach usually requires multiple welding attempts to succeed and is relatively difficult. 2. Reverse Thread Tool: Special reverse thread tools for removing broken spark plugs are widely available. Use the reverse thread tool to tap threads inside the spark plug head. During the tapping process, fine metal shavings may fall into the cylinder, which can be cleaned up using a magnetic rod. 3. Forceful Hammering: This method not only damages the threads on the cylinder but also fails to completely remove the fragments, potentially harming the engine. Therefore, this method is not recommended.
