Using 92 octane fuel instead of 95 octane in a Volkswagen Sagitar has the following effects: Impact on fuel anti-knock performance: The fuel octane rating refers to the octane number, where a higher octane number indicates better anti-knock performance. Therefore, 95 octane fuel has better anti-knock performance than 92 octane fuel. The main component of gasoline is 92 octane, which is what most car models use, while higher-end vehicles typically use 95 octane fuel. Impact on spark plugs and cylinders: If a car normally uses 95 octane fuel and is filled with 92 octane fuel, severe problems may occur during combustion, affecting the spark plugs and cylinders to some extent, and may even lead to engine failure. Therefore, different car models require different types of fuel, and it is essential to follow the vehicle's manual for refueling requirements.

What does the mode button mean?

The mode button is a switching button for the car's multimedia system, used to toggle between the radio, CD, or USB drive in the car's multimedia. Here are specific details about the mode button in vehicles: 1. Introduction: 'Mode' translates to 'mode' or 'direction' in English, and the mode button is commonly found on multifunctional steering wheels and center consoles. 2. Notes: When using the air conditioning, pressing the mode button automatically adjusts the position and direction of the air vents, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustments, which is very convenient. If the car is using the radio, CD, or an external audio source, pressing the mode button on the steering wheel will switch the multimedia system displayed on the car's central control screen, making it quite user-friendly. 3. Advantages: Drivers can directly control the car's electronic devices without having to search for various buttons on the central control screen, allowing them to focus more on the road ahead while driving, significantly enhancing driving safety.

Are 9-seater vehicles exempt from highway tolls during holidays?

No, they are not exempt. According to China's regulations on highway toll exemptions during statutory holidays, the scope of toll-free vehicles is limited to passenger vehicles with no more than 7 seats and gasoline-powered motorcycles allowed on highways. Trucks and passenger vehicles with 8 or more seats are not included in the toll-free policy and will still be charged. Additional information: According to the newly revised "Classification of Toll Highway Vehicles" by the Ministry of Transport, starting from January 1, 2020, 8-seater and 9-seater buses have been reclassified from Class II to Class I buses, and they are uniformly charged as Class I vehicles.

What is the reason why the car cannot accelerate beyond 80 mph?

Check if the cruise control system has set a maximum speed limit of 80 kilometers. Try pressing the speed limit button to deactivate the limit. If the engine has severe carbon buildup, it can significantly affect the vehicle's performance, so regular carbon cleaning is necessary. Here are other possible reasons: 1. Spark plug failure: If the vehicle's power suddenly decreases, it may be due to spark plug failure. If the power drops during driving and the engine shakes severely, it is likely caused by abnormal spark plug ignition, which can only be resolved by replacing the spark plugs. 2. Clogged air filter: If the air filter hasn't been replaced for too long, it will affect the vehicle's air intake efficiency. Insufficient air intake will result in poor power performance.

Is Oil Burning a Common Phenomenon in the 2018 Odyssey?

It is not a common phenomenon, but rather an individual occurrence. The reasons leading to oil burning in cars are as follows: 1. Poor fuel quality: The primary cause of oil burning in cars is poor fuel quality. When fuel does not burn completely, it forms a large amount of carbon deposits. Over time, these deposits accumulate and thicken, with some entering the piston, causing the piston rings to stick and the oil return holes to clog. This creates gaps in the engine, allowing air to enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning. 2. Traffic congestion prevents complete fuel combustion: Due to traffic congestion, fuel does not burn effectively, generating a large amount of carbon deposits. These deposits clog the oil return holes, preventing the oil scraper rings from removing oil from the cylinder walls. The oil then remains in the combustion chamber and burns, resulting in oil burning. 3. Aging valve stem seals: Aging valve stem seals can also cause oil burning. Valve stem seals are made of heat- and oil-resistant rubber. They are exposed to high temperatures, gasoline, and engine oil, along with temperature fluctuations from cold and hot operations, which deplete the plasticizers in the seals. Over time, the seals begin to shrink, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber and burn, causing oil burning. 4. Substandard engine oil quality: Substandard engine oil quality is another cause of oil burning. If the oil quality is substandard, its lubricating effect weakens. Combined with carbon deposit accumulation, the oil loses its lubricating properties, making it easier to wear down the cylinder walls. This wear increases engine temperature, quickly leading to cylinder scoring and engine failure.
