During the use of a car air conditioner, dust and moisture accumulate inside the air ducts and evaporator box. These impurities can easily mold and breed bacteria, leading to unpleasant odors. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the air conditioning system regularly. Below are some related tips on car air conditioner maintenance: 1. Regularly replace the filter: After using the air conditioner for a period of time, it is essential to clean it and replace the air filter regularly to extend its lifespan. 2. Maintenance of the car air conditioner's liquid storage tank: The liquid storage tank should be replaced after two years of normal use. Whenever the pipeline is disassembled for repair or cleaning, a new liquid storage tank should be installed. 3. Regularly check the refrigerant and refrigeration oil: Since the refrigerant used in modern cars is highly permeable, even a well-functioning refrigeration system can experience reduced cooling efficiency due to insufficient refrigerant caused by prolonged use.

What is the difference between T3 and T4 brake fluid for cars?

The difference between T3 and T4 brake fluid lies in their applicable speed ranges: T3 brake fluid is suitable for speeds between 90 to 140 kilometers per hour, while T4 is designed for speeds ranging from 140 to 180 kilometers per hour. It is crucial not to mix different types of brake fluid due to the following hazards: 1. Mixing can degrade the performance indicators of the brake fluid or trigger chemical reactions, thereby reducing the vehicle's braking effectiveness; 2. The fluid's temperature resistance may decrease, compromising driving safety. The procedure for replacing brake fluid is as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the engine, open the hood, and drain the old fluid from the reservoir; 2. Use a funnel to refill the reservoir with new brake fluid; 3. Lift the vehicle using a jack, starting with the rear wheels, and remove the tires; 4. Take off the rubber dust caps on the brake calipers; 5. Loosen the bleeder screws with a wrench, attach a rubber tube to them, and connect the other end to a drainage bottle; 6. Have someone press the brake pedal inside the car while observing the fluid drainage until the fluid level in the engine compartment reservoir reaches the lower limit.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the H2R?

According to official data, the H2R's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 2 seconds, while the H2's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is approximately 2.8 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The H2R has a maximum torque of 165 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 2 seconds. The H2 has a maximum torque of 137 Nm, achieving 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The H2R is equipped with a 6-speed transmission. 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 faster the acceleration. The H2R has a power-to-weight ratio of 1540 hp/T, achieving 0-100 km/h in 2 seconds. The H2 has a power-to-weight ratio of 925 hp/T, achieving 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.

What does AHD reversing camera mean?

AHD reversing camera refers to a high-definition reversing image system installed at the rear of the vehicle. It consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, a display, and a buzzer. Its function is to allow the driver to see the situation behind the vehicle on the display when reversing, avoiding accidents caused by the driver's inability to see the rear situation during reversing, thereby improving driving safety. The method to activate the reversing camera is: shift the vehicle into reverse gear, and the reversing camera will automatically turn on. The automotive reversing camera system uses a far-infrared wide-angle camera device, which can clearly display obstacles behind the vehicle on the in-car display screen.

When is it not necessary to paste the car insurance sticker?

Since 2018, the car insurance sticker no longer needs to be pasted, but this does not mean that the car does not need to be insured. Additional information: 1. Relevant laws: Compulsory traffic insurance is one of the types of car insurance that must be purchased as stipulated by the state. The compulsory traffic insurance sticker must still be pasted on the car. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law", any vehicle driving on the road without the inspection qualification sticker or compulsory traffic insurance sticker, or without carrying a driver's license or vehicle license, will be detained by the public security traffic management department in accordance with the law. The compulsory traffic insurance sticker and the motor vehicle inspection qualification sticker should be pasted in the upper right corner of the motor vehicle. Failure to paste or violation of regulations will result in a fine. 2. Notes: The environmental protection sticker for motor vehicles also does not need to be pasted. In the future, all vehicle-related inspection information can be queried in the local vehicle management database. Pickup trucks will be treated the same as family cars, and there is no need to paste insurance stickers or environmental protection stickers. The reflective strips on the rear of the vehicle also do not need to be pasted. Although these stickers do not need to be pasted, car insurance must still be purchased in accordance with regulations, which is also for the safety of the car owner. Remember to bring your driver's license and vehicle license when you go out.
