Geely's 1.8 engine is excellent. Here is relevant information: Introduction: It is one of the most reliable power output engines among domestic engines, with a low repair rate. The new generation of engines will not have major issues in terms of fuel consumption and power ratio. Especially the new generation of Geely, which also incorporates some European technologies. The engine is powerful, with the 1.8TD being independently developed by Geely, adopting turbocharged direct injection technology. Engine characteristics: The first characteristic of Geely's second-generation 1.8TD engine is its strong power. Specifically, it excels in low-speed torque. The minimum speed for maximum torque output of this engine's turbocharger is 1500rpm. Many domestic brand engines have higher figures than this. Of course, internationally, there are even better examples, such as BMW's 2.0T, where the turbo fully engages at 1200rpm, delivering maximum torque.

How to Set Auto Door Lock?

Method to set auto door lock: For automatic transmission models: 1. Shift to P position; 2. Turn the key to ON position with all doors closed; 3. Press the lock button (hold for 6 seconds); 4. Observe the hazard warning lights flashing twice on the dashboard; 5. Setup completed. For manual transmission models: 1. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" position; 2. Within 20 seconds, press the electric door lock switch to "LOCK" and hold for 5 seconds; 3. If the operation is successful, the hazard warning lights will flash: twice for activation, once for deactivation. The auto-lock function is designed for anti-theft purposes, enabling quick locking after driving to prevent door-pull robberies during traffic jams or at traffic lights, providing certain security benefits.

Can Dynamic Reversing Trajectory Be Installed as an Aftermarket Feature?

Dynamic reversing trajectory can be installed as an aftermarket feature. To add dynamic reversing guide lines, it's necessary to obtain the steering angle data of the front wheels, which requires installing a steering angle sensor. Only then can the guide lines on the central control screen's reversing camera become dynamic. These dynamic guide lines change according to the steering wheel's rotation, indicating the area the rear of the vehicle will pass through when reversing at the current wheel angle. The guide lines adjust with the wheel direction, overlapping with the positioning area when the wheels are straight. When the driver operates the vehicle in reverse, the intelligent trajectory reversing system displays two guiding lines on the DVD reversing camera function, representing the trajectory of the rear wheels.

What does the yellow triangle with an exclamation mark mean?

The yellow triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a brake system malfunction. When this warning light illuminates, first ensure the parking brake is fully released. If the light remains on after releasing the parking brake, check whether the brake fluid level is normal or if the brake pads are too thin. Adding brake fluid or replacing the brake pads should resolve the issue. Besides brake system malfunctions, other possible causes for the yellow triangle with exclamation mark warning light include: 1. Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch; 2. Fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction; 3. External lighting failure; 4. Engine oil pressure sensor malfunction; 5. Traction control system warning or fault.

Can a Car Fuel Saver Actually Save Fuel?

Car fuel savers can indeed save fuel. There are several types of fuel savers, including electrolytic water oxygen-enhancing fuel savers, electronic turbo fuel savers, and cigarette lighter-type electronic fuel savers. An onboard car fuel saver is a compact gas-generating device that employs Faraday's electrolysis principle to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water. This introduces hydrogen energy as a new energy source into the car's fuel system while also providing oxygen to ensure complete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. The hydrogen and oxygen mixture is directed into the car's air intake, where it enters the engine's combustion chamber along with air and mixes with the fuel-air mixture for explosive combustion. Hydrogen has a lower ignition point than gasoline, making it easier to ignite, and its flame propagation speed is five times faster than gasoline. The flame quenching gap is 0.06 seconds, only one-third of gasoline's 0.18 seconds, so adding hydrogen to the fuel-air mixture promotes more efficient combustion.

What are the functions of the three wires in the Excelle ignition coil?

The functions of the three wires in the Excelle ignition coil are: 1. Power supply wire: Provides voltage from the ignition switch and main relay; 2. Ground wire controlled by the engine ECU; 3. Control signal wire is the switching signal output from the ECU computer circuit board, which controls the ignition signal. The independent ignition system does not have high-voltage wires because the coil output is directly connected to the spark plug. The Excelle has a length of 4468mm, width of 1765mm, height of 1469mm, a wheelbase of 2611mm, front track of 1495mm, rear track of 1502mm, and a top speed of 170km/h.

Will mixing 95-octane gasoline with a car designed for 92-octane have any impact?

According to the "Motor Vehicle Gasoline" (GB17930-2016), using 95-octane gasoline in a car designed for 92-octane does have an impact. Long-term mixing of different octane ratings will affect the service life of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, leading to an earlier need for major repairs. The appropriate gasoline grade can be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Cars 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. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98-octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can be tuned to use lower-octane gasoline because other factors, such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology, also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number 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. According to "Motor Vehicle Gasoline" (GB17930-2016), occasional use of the wrong gasoline grade only requires switching back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: Using a higher-octane gasoline in a car designed for a lower octane rating will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using a lower-octane gasoline in a car designed for a higher octane rating can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke, making the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to severe damage like cylinder scoring. Notes on gasoline selection: Choose gasoline with appropriate volatility based on the car's operating temperature. Gasoline with good volatility facilitates cold starts and ensures smooth engine warm-up. However, excessive volatility can easily cause vapor lock in the fuel lines, preventing the fuel pump from delivering gasoline properly and leading to engine stalling. Select gasoline based on its lead content.
