If a car is parked on uneven ground or a slope for an extended period, it can cause damage. The effects of prolonged slope parking on a car include: 1. Causing deformation of the car frame: There are many car doors and hoods, and the body's manufacturing tolerance requirements are very high. Parking on a slope causes the entire body to tilt, leading to uneven stress distribution and deformation. Over time, this can result in irreversible deformation of the frame, and in severe cases, it may even affect the normal opening and closing of the doors. 2. Impact on tires: Tires bear all the weight of the car. Parking on a slope causes uneven stress on the tires, leading to uneven wear or deformation. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can accelerate tire damage.

What is the ground clearance of the new Levin?

The minimum ground clearance of the new Levin is 105 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the new Levin refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. If the ground clearance of the new Levin is higher, its off-road capability improves, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The new Levin is derived from Toyota's A-segment model in the American market. The sharp-looking and high-quality American version has been a best-seller in North America for many years, consistently topping the sales charts in the A-segment market. The Levin inherits the champion genes of this model, boasting an excellent quality foundation. The dimensions of the new Levin are 4640 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1455 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the new Levin is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the new Levin. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle is frequently used in remote areas or on poor road conditions, a higher ground clearance may be preferred to avoid scraping or damaging the chassis.

What is the maximum load capacity of the roof rack on the GAC Trumpchi GS4?

The original roof rack can bear weight, while aftermarket installations depend on the situation. Generally, loads under 10KG should be fine, but there might be noticeable wind noise at high speeds. Here are the pros and cons of installing a roof rack: Pros: It can carry items that don't fit in the trunk, such as large luggage, bicycles, folding beds, etc. As long as the items are properly secured, especially by using additional straps for roof rack items, you can carry more belongings. Cons: 4S dealerships may refuse warranty claims for issues caused by aftermarket roof rack installations, such as roof deformation, water leakage, or subsequent damage to electrical components and wiring short circuits. They might also explicitly state that unauthorized modifications void the warranty.

Where is the battery located in the Geely Borui?

Borui GE is equipped with a low-voltage battery and a power battery. The 12V low-voltage battery is located on the right side of the engine compartment and is used to start the engine and power the vehicle's electrical equipment. The power battery is located in the chassis of the vehicle and serves as one of the main power sources, capable of being recharged multiple times. For the car battery, the following points should be noted: Moisture and Waterproofing: The power battery is a high-voltage energy storage device containing numerous high-voltage control circuits and individual battery cells. Liquid entering the power battery may cause short circuits, leakage, or corrosion of the battery cells, electronic circuits, and connectors. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the power battery is not soaked in any liquid and that humid air does not enter the power battery. Thermal Insulation: Maintaining the power battery within the optimal operating temperature range can significantly extend its lifespan and enhance safety performance. Therefore, when parking the vehicle, ensure that the surrounding area is insulated and well-ventilated.

What are the reasons for the BMW 3 Series air conditioning not cooling?

BMW 3 Series air conditioning not cooling reasons and solutions are as follows: Insufficient or low refrigerant: It may be caused by a small refrigerant leak. You can observe it from the sight glass on the dryer tank. When the air conditioning is running normally, if there are continuous and slow bubbles in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If obvious bubble flipping occurs, it indicates severe refrigerant shortage. In this case, simply add refrigerant. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioning compressor: If the drive belt is loose, the compressor will slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency and a decrease in compressor speed. This results in reduced delivery of compressed refrigerant, causing the car air conditioning to not cool. If the compressor drive belt is too loose, it should be tightened. If it cannot be turned by hand, it means the belt is too tight and should be loosened slightly. If tightening is ineffective, or if the drive belt has cracks, aging, or other damage, a new drive belt should be replaced.
