Installing mud flaps is optional. Advantages of mud flaps: Mud flaps can effectively protect the car body, preventing scratches. They serve as a protective barrier for the car body, reducing mud and water splashes during rainy days. They also minimize damage to the car paint caused by gravel being thrown up by the wheels. Disadvantages of mud flaps: After installing mud flaps, the overall aesthetic appeal of the car may decrease, especially for white or bright-colored cars, which may appear less coordinated. Mud flaps can also reduce the ground clearance of the car. Since the car's chassis is already low, this can affect the car's off-road capability and overall performance. Additionally, it may impair the car's aerodynamics, potentially leading to hidden safety hazards.

What is the wading depth of the Regal?

The maximum wading depth of the Regal is 325mm. The wading depth of the Regal is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact cars and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake is below the water level when the Regal is wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause serious 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. Alternatively, the height of the engine's air intake (i.e., the maximum wading depth) can 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, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingress. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles 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. For roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Understand your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly. Instead, choose an alternative route.

How Often Should Car Tires Be Replaced?

Car tires should generally be replaced every 5 years or approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Below are some additional details regarding tire replacement: 1. Replacement Requirements: If the tires are severely worn, they must be replaced earlier. If the mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers, even if the tires have not been in use for 5 years, they should be replaced. Similarly, if the tires have been in use for 6 years, even if the mileage has not reached 80,000 kilometers, but there are visible signs of aging or cracking on the tire surface, they should also be replaced. 2. Considerations: The four tires on a car are usually of the same brand and specification to ensure optimal vehicle performance. If the tires differ in size, structure, or wear condition, it can affect the vehicle's handling and stability. If one tire needs to be replaced due to significant wear, it is best to replace all four tires simultaneously. If this is not possible for some reason, at least ensure that the two tires on the same axle are identical.

Should the Tayron use 95 or 98 octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Tayron should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because factors other than compression ratio, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Tayron occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane value reduces the gasoline's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without obvious damage to the engine. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

What are the causes of fuel pump failure?

Fuel pump failure can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Reason one: Insufficient fuel in the tank. When the fuel level warning light on the dashboard lights up due to low fuel level, the fuel pump motor does not receive adequate cooling and lubrication, which can cause the motor to overheat or even stop working. Prolonged operation under such conditions will accelerate the damage to the fuel pump. 2. Reason two: Poor quality gasoline containing impurities or foreign objects. If the fuel pump is too dirty, these impurities can enter the internal bearings of the fuel pump, accelerating bearing wear and leading to fuel pump failure. 3. Reason three: Long-term failure to replace the fuel filter. A clogged fuel filter causes the fuel pump to operate under high load for extended periods, resulting in fuel pump damage.

After the merger of the two factories in 1926, it was called Daimler-Benz Automobile Company. 2. Mercedes-Benz LOGO: The Mercedes-Benz LOGO is a three-pointed star, symbolizing the ambition to conquer land, sea, and air. This emblem was created after the merger of Daimler and Benz. The original trademark of Daimler was a three-pointed star, while Benz's trademark was the word 'Benz' in a double circle. After the merger, the trademark of Daimler-Benz became a three-pointed star in a single circle. Making the three-pointed star shine globally has been the dream of Mercedes-Benz for over a hundred years and remains its relentless pursuit.
