It is unsafe to drive when there is about 50ml of water in the car fuel tank. The following are precautions for the fuel tank: 1. The basic function of the fuel tank is to store fuel, ensuring the vehicle has a certain driving range. Structurally, it should have devices to prevent fuel sloshing. The number and capacity of fuel tanks vary depending on the vehicle model. Ordinary cars usually have one fuel tank, while long-distance commercial vehicles often have two. 2. Passenger car fuel tanks are usually installed at the rear of the vehicle body, while commercial vehicle fuel tanks are generally installed on the outer side of the middle part of the body. A fuel tank typically consists of the tank body, baffle, fuel filler pipe and cap, and drain plug. The basic requirement for fuel tank maintenance is regular inspection and cleaning.

What are the uses of vehicle OTA upgrades?

Vehicle OTA upgrades enable online updates and upgrades for automotive systems. The vehicle's gateway with internet connectivity module allows software and hardware capable of data transmission to perform functions such as uploading, downloading, and code updates. Below is relevant information about OTA: 1. Definition: OTA stands for "over-the-air" in English, which refers to over-the-air technology enabling online upgrades. 2. Classification: There are two types of OTA: SOTA, which can upgrade vehicle software to implement updates for items like the central control screen and headlights; and FOTA, which has a broader scope of involvement, including upgrades related to some vehicle performance aspects.

Why is the air conditioning in the Haval M6 not cooling properly?

Reasons why the air conditioning in the Haval M6 is not cooling properly: 1. Insufficient or low refrigerant: A common reason for the car air conditioning not cooling is insufficient or low refrigerant, which could be due to a minor leak. 2. Excessive refrigerant: Too much refrigerant can also cause the air conditioning not to cool. The proportion of refrigerant in the air conditioning system is strictly regulated. If the proportion is too high, it can affect heat dissipation. Similarly, adding too much cooling oil during maintenance can also reduce the heat dissipation of the system. 3. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioning compressor: Car cooling relies on refrigerant, which is transported by the air conditioning compressor. The drive belt is a crucial moving part that drives the compressor. If the belt is loose, the compressor may slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency, lower compressor speed, and decreased refrigerant delivery, resulting in the air conditioning not cooling. 4. Substandard refrigerant and cooling oil: Excessive impurities in the refrigerant and cooling oil can clog the air conditioning filter, causing the air conditioning not to cool. This increases resistance and reduces the flow of refrigerant to the expansion valve, leading to insufficient cooling capacity.

What is the use of mirror heating?

The mirror heating function refers to when the car is driving in rainy, snowy, foggy and other weather, the mirror can be heated by the electric heating wire embedded behind the lens to ensure the clarity of the lens surface. The car mirror heating is generally more suitable for rainy and snowy days. When the mirror is heated, the heater behind the lens quickly heats the mirror surface, and slowly removes the rain or fog on the mirror surface, saving the driver the trouble of frequently wiping the lens manually, thereby reducing the danger of driving. The method of using the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function generally has two ways to turn on. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment function key, just rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is set on the air conditioning control panel, press the heating button to turn it on. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, the driver's side has an adjustment button. The principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass will quickly rise to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees. The heat will be dissipated from the left and right rearview mirrors. At the same time, due to the increase in temperature and evaporation, the water droplets on the mirror surface will become smaller and smaller, and the fog will slowly disappear, thereby heating the lens and removing fog and frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its impact will be reduced and the effect will not be obvious. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating is to add electric heating wires to the rearview mirror. The power consumption of the electric heating wire is very large. When using the rearview mirror heating function, you need to ensure that the car is in a started state. Try not to turn on the rearview mirror heating function when the car is stationary to avoid insufficient battery power and unable to provide power for the car to start. Other methods of rearview mirror defogging include: Window convection: Open a gap in the windows on both sides to form convection between the inside and outside of the car, and the temperature difference will decrease accordingly, and the fog will slowly disappear. Adjust the car's air conditioning to the corresponding gear, and you can use the hot air blown out by the air conditioning to defog.

What are the effects of removing a car thermostat?

Removing a car thermostat will prevent the car from sensing temperature during cold starts, leading to cold engine starts and accelerated engine wear. Here is some information about car thermostats: 1. Function: Controls the circulation of coolant between the engine and the radiator. When the coolant temperature is low, the thermostat remains closed, allowing only the coolant inside the engine to heat up. This is referred to as the "small circulation." When the coolant inside the engine reaches a certain temperature, the thermostat automatically opens to connect with the radiator, forming what is called the "large circulation." 2. Purpose of installation: To help the engine reach its optimal operating temperature quickly, reduce engine wear, improve fuel atomization, and enhance the speed of cabin heating.

What is the reason why the vehicle still cannot move after releasing the spring brake?

If the vehicle still cannot move after releasing the spring brake, it may be because the handbrake has not fully returned to its original position. Below is relevant information about the vehicle spring brake: 1. Purpose: The spring brake method is mostly used in the handbrake systems of medium and large-sized vehicles. The handbrake system of such vehicles usually uses a strong spring to maintain a constant braking state. When the vehicle needs to move, the driver releasing the handbrake is an inflation action. A certain air pressure must be reached to push open the spring, which means releasing the handbrake, before the vehicle can move. Conventional braking involves the handbrake locking the drive shaft, while the foot brake involves compressed air entering the brake chamber to lock the wheels. 2. Composition: A regular air brake system consists of a brake operating mechanism, dual-circuit brake mechanism, central disc brake mechanism, brake, air compressor, etc.
