When purchasing a car, two keys are provided: one for regular use and one as a spare. Introduction to Mechanical Keys: Mechanical keys are the most common type of car keys. The door locks that match mechanical keys are generally similar to home door locks, requiring the key to be inserted into the keyhole and turned to unlock or lock. The drawback is that they cannot remotely start the vehicle and may not meet certain specific scenarios. Currently, they have largely been replaced by remote keys. Introduction to Remote Keys: Remote keys typically use weak radio waves emitted by themselves to control the opening and closing of doors. The advantage is that they can remotely start the vehicle, making them more convenient to use compared to mechanical keys. In addition to door control, they can also remotely operate windows, trunk doors, etc. Furthermore, remote keys have low power consumption and strong battery life.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Cadillac CT5?

The fuel tank capacity of the Cadillac CT5 is 66 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Cadillac CT5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Cadillac CT5 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 917km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving a certain space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand safely when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What is the problem when the differential is broken?

The reasons for a broken differential are as follows: 1. Improper operation of the differential lock by the driver, leading to differential damage. 2. The use of low-quality lubricants in the market resulting in poor lubrication, thereby causing differential damage. 3. Starting too quickly or wheel slippage can accelerate differential wear, leading to damage. The functions of the differential are as follows: 1. Transmit the engine torque from the universal transmission to the drive wheels through the main reducer, differential, and half-shafts, achieving speed reduction and torque increase. 2. Change the direction of torque transmission through the bevel gear pair of the main reducer. 3. Achieve the differential effect between the two wheels through the differential, ensuring that the inner and outer wheels turn at different speeds.

What Causes the Battery Warning Light to Illuminate in a Car?

When the car battery warning light comes on, the primary reasons are a dead or insufficiently charged battery. The specific explanations are as follows: 1. The battery warning light indicates that the charge level has dropped below 80%, meaning the battery requires charging. There are various causes for insufficient power. For instance, leaving the lights or electrical devices on after parking can drain the battery completely. Faulty sensors or switches that cause power leakage can also deplete the battery. Additionally, a malfunctioning car charger (alternator) may fail to replenish the battery's charge in time. 2. If the battery is of poor quality or has reached the end of its lifespan and can no longer hold a charge, the battery warning light will illuminate. Once the battery charge falls below 80%, it may not guarantee the car's ability to start normally. Therefore, the battery light serves as a reminder for the owner to charge the battery. First, check if the car's alternator is functioning properly. If the battery light continues to illuminate after eliminating power leakage issues, it may indicate that the battery can no longer retain charge and needs to be replaced with a new one.

How to Use ESP Correctly?

ESP is correctly used by default in vehicles equipped with it after starting the car. The ESP OFF button is rarely used during daily driving and is only pressed under specific circumstances. Situations requiring the deactivation of the ESP function are as follows: 1. Sand or muddy roads: When driving on sand or muddy roads, the wheel traction decreases. If the wheels slip, ESP will limit the engine's RPM, making it difficult for the car to escape if stuck in mud, thus requiring the ESP system to be turned off. 2. Climbing on icy or slippery roads: When climbing on icy or slippery roads, if slipping occurs, the ESP system reduces engine torque, leading to insufficient climbing power, necessitating the deactivation of the ESP system. 3. Drifting: Drifting enthusiasts also need to turn off the ESP system when performing drift maneuvers, as the wheels slip most of the time during drifting. Not turning it off would hinder the execution of drift maneuvers.

Is Vacuuming Necessary Before Recharging Car Air Conditioning with Refrigerant?

If it's just a refrigerant top-up, vacuuming is not required; however, if refrigerant needs to be added or replaced due to leakage, vacuuming is essential. The specific steps for recharging car air conditioning with refrigerant are as follows: 1. Preparation: Before adding refrigerant, prepare tools and materials such as a car refrigerant recovery and charging machine and refrigerant (most car air conditioners currently use R-134a refrigerant, and different refrigerants must never be mixed). 2. Connecting the Pipes: Connect the pipes of the car refrigerant recovery and charging machine to the high and low-pressure pipes of the car air conditioning (red connects to the high-pressure pipe, blue to the low-pressure pipe). 3. Vacuuming: After ensuring the pipes are correctly connected and the refrigerant recovery and charging machine has completed its self-check, proceed to vacuum the car air conditioning system. 4. Adding Refrigerant: Only after vacuuming is completed can refrigerant be added. Set the charging capacity, time, and type on the refrigerant recovery and charging machine according to the maximum refrigerant capacity marked on the vehicle's air conditioning system. Once confirmed, the machine will automatically start adding the refrigerant.
