Parking at a slight angle overnight will not have an impact, but long-term parking on a slope can cause damage to the car. Below are the effects of long-term parking on an inclined surface: Frame Deformation: The manufacturing tolerances for the car body are very strict. Parking on a slope causes the entire body to tilt, subjecting it to uneven forces that can lead to deformation. Over time, this can cause irreversible deformation to the frame, potentially even affecting the normal operation of opening and closing doors. Suspension System Damage: This includes the shock absorber springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars. When a car is parked on an inclined surface, except for the dampers, the shock absorber springs and anti-roll bars remain under tension. Long-term parking on a slope can lead to uneven fatigue on one side of the springs, reducing their performance and lifespan. Tire Wear: Tires bear the full weight of the car. Parking on a slope causes uneven force distribution on the tires, leading to deformation or uneven wear.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for a compact SUV?

The recommended tire pressure for a compact SUV is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Driving with insufficient tire pressure can lead to noticeable increases in fuel consumption. This is because low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the road surface, resulting in greater friction and higher driving resistance, which in turn raises fuel consumption. Additionally, inadequate tire pressure accelerates tire wear, shortening the tire's lifespan. Therefore, maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for driving safety, tire longevity, and optimal performance. This is especially important for long-distance or high-speed driving, so always check your tire pressure thoroughly before setting off.

What is the wading depth of the H9?

The maximum wading depth of the Haval H9 is 700mm. The wading depth of the Haval H9 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the vehicle's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low ground clearance, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Haval H9 is below the water level while wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to waterlogging, observe warning water level markers, trees, or reference points like the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the height of the engine's air intake, do not proceed. Instead, choose an alternative route.

What does TPMS mean when it appears on the car dashboard?

The appearance of TPMS on the car dashboard indicates a fault in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, signaling that one of the tires has low pressure. Tire pressure monitoring is divided into direct and indirect types. If the TPMS warning light comes on while driving, it may indicate that one of the tires has low pressure. In such a case, the driver should avoid sharp steering and emergency braking, reduce speed, and slowly pull over to the side of the road to check the tire pressure. If the vehicle has simple tools, the driver can measure the tire pressure and inflate the tire themselves. If not, they should seek a nearby repair shop for inflation. However, if the light is on but the tires are not the issue, it may indicate an abnormality with the tire pressure sensor.

How to Determine if the Engine PCV Valve is Damaged?

Methods to determine if the engine PCV valve is damaged: 1. Check if there is blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. A damaged PCV valve can cause the car to burn oil, resulting in severe blue smoke from the exhaust. 2. Due to the PCV valve failure causing oil burning, the oil will also be consumed quickly, leading to increased oil consumption. 3. Open the oil filler cap. If there is strong suction (meaning the cap is pulled in), it indicates a problem with the PCV valve. Reasons for PCV valve damage: 1. Poor quality of the PCV valve itself. 2. Improper maintenance. 3. Poor fuel quality. 4. Aging of the PCV valve. The PCV valve operates under high engine temperatures and may degrade over time.

Is it necessary to install a license plate frame for a new car?

It is necessary to install a license plate frame for a new car, as it can prevent the car body from being scratched by the license plate. Installing a license plate frame can also reduce the possibility of theft, making it quite practical in terms of functionality. A license plate, commonly known as a car plate, is a panel hung separately at the front and rear of the car. The materials typically used include aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, with the car's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information engraved on it. The license plate serves as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Its primary function is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs through the license plate, and it also allows tracking the vehicle's owner and registration information based on the plate.
