If the car's fuel tank is continuously leaking gasoline, it should not be driven. Below is an extended introduction about gasoline: 1. Density: The specific gravity of gasoline ranges from 0.71 to 0.77. The higher the density, the larger the volume of aromatic hydrocarbons. The trading standard reference for marketable gasoline (in Europe) is 0.755 kg/L (6.30 lb/US gal), and its price fluctuates based on its actual density. Due to its low density, gasoline floats on water, so water cannot typically be used to extinguish fires unless in a fine mist. 2. Storage: If stored properly, high-quality gasoline should remain stable for six months. However, since gasoline is a mixture rather than a single compound, it will gradually degrade over time due to the separation of its components.

What is the battery life of the new Passat?

The battery of the new Passat generally lasts between 3 to 6 years. The lifespan of the battery depends on factors such as the vehicle's condition, configuration, and driving habits. To maximize the battery's lifespan, in addition to using a battery life extender to prevent and remove sulfation, it is also important to avoid deep discharge and maintain proper charge to prevent softening of the battery's positive plates. Below are some relevant details about the new Passat: 1. If you frequently park and listen to music or often drive short distances at low speeds, it is recommended to charge the car battery every two weeks. This practice will help extend the battery's lifespan and keep this crucial component in optimal working condition. 2. Avoid leaving the car parked in open parking lots for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent damage from freezing. Clean the battery terminals periodically and apply specialized grease to protect the wiring harness. Regularly inspect the battery's accessories and connecting circuits. Avoid using car electrical devices after the engine is turned off, as running the battery without the engine generating power can cause damage.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Emgrand GS 1.4t?

According to official data, the 1.4T Emgrand GS has only one displacement variant, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 13.13 seconds. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, and naturally, the faster the acceleration. The Emgrand S has a maximum torque of 235 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 13.5 seconds; the 1.4T turbocharged engine of the Emgrand GS delivers 141 horsepower and a maximum torque of 235 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 13.13 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The 1.4T Emgrand GS is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission (MT). Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit is Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the

What does 'service' mean on a car?

Service on a car refers to maintenance, which is a reminder function set by the manufacturer to alert the owner to perform scheduled maintenance at specific mileage intervals as needed. After maintenance is completed, it needs to be reset following a certain procedure. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and tidy, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

What are the length, width, and height of the Camry?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Camry are 4900mm/1840mm/1455mm, which are official data. The length of the Camry refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The Camry's naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 154kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6600 rpm and its maximum torque at 5000 rpm. It is equipped with hybrid injection technology and features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. National regulations specify vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89,' the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring adequate space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

How to Handle Crosswinds While Driving

When encountering crosswinds while driving, the following methods should be adopted: 1. Firmly grip the steering wheel: When hit by crosswinds, the vehicle's direction may deviate, and tire traction can be affected. At this point, apply slight force in the direction of the wind to maintain the correct driving path. 2. Avoid slamming on the brakes: When pushed by strong winds, the vehicle's center of gravity becomes unstable. You should ease off the accelerator and gently apply the brakes to slow down, helping the tires regain traction. Simultaneously, gauge the wind's intensity and make corresponding adjustments with the steering wheel. Crosswinds are strong winds that blow from the side of the vehicle, often making the tires feel like they have insufficient grip, as if a powerful force is pulling the car sideways, which can easily lead to skidding or rollovers.
