Sedan brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years. The composition of automotive brake fluid is castor oil and low-carbon alcohol. Brake fluid is an important oil in the car's braking system, serving the function of transmitting force. Situations requiring brake fluid replacement include: 1. When the brake fluid absorbs moisture or contains impurities; 2. When the vehicle experiences inconsistent braking force during normal driving, the brake fluid should be promptly replaced; 3. When the wheel cylinder rubber cup expands excessively; 4. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years. Characteristics of brake fluid include: 1. Good viscosity-temperature performance and low freezing point, ensuring good fluidity at low temperatures; 2. High boiling point, preventing vapor lock at high temperatures; 3. Minimal quality changes, avoiding corrosion and deterioration of metal and rubber.

Can a slightly water-damaged car be detected?

A slightly water-damaged car can be detected. Here are the methods to check for water damage: Pay attention to observation: First, check whether components like the battery, electrical wiring, and starter motor in the engine compartment have been entirely replaced. Next, lift the trunk and floor mats in the cabin to see if there are any water stains. You can also inspect the underside of the car for rust. This step is crucial because, with advancements in modern technology, the ability to conceal damage has also improved, so be cautious of being deceived. Identify unusual odors: Enter the cabin and sniff for any musty smell. If the car has been waterlogged, the musty odor will be more pronounced after being exposed to the sun for some time. Additionally, there may be an earthy smell in the engine compartment and trunk. Feel with your hands: Touch the fabric of the car's interior to see if it feels rough. The fabric in a water-damaged car, especially the ceiling fabric, will feel rough and prickly to the touch.

Can a light motorcycle carry passengers?

Light motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers. Below is relevant information about light motorcycles: Definition: A light motorcycle is a type of motorcycle that must meet various technical standards and legal requirements stipulated for motor vehicles. Its maximum design speed, displacement, or total motor power are all lower than those of regular motorcycles, with technical parameters and performance falling between electric bicycles and motorcycles. It is a type of motorcycle that can be driven by individuals under 70 years of age. Development: Before 1890, motorcycles produced had engines placed at the front lower part of the vehicle, with power transmitted to the rear wheel via a belt. Due to the low engine power, bicycle pedal devices were still retained to assist in climbing slopes. In the early 20th century, improved two-stroke gasoline engines were applied to motorcycles, laying the foundation for the development of light motorcycles. Since then, the specific weight of engines has decreased year by year, while the power-to-weight ratio has increased annually.

Does Parking on a Slope Overnight Have Any Impact?

If the slope angle is not significant, parking overnight will not have an impact, but long-term parking on a slope can damage the car. Below are the effects of long-term parking on a slope on a car: Frame deformation: The manufacturing tolerances for the car body are very strict. Parking on a slope causes the entire body to tilt, resulting in uneven force distribution and deformation. Over time, this can lead to irreversible frame deformation, which may even affect the normal opening and closing of car doors. Suspension system damage: This includes the shock absorber springs, shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars. When a car is parked on a slope, except for the shock absorbers not being in operation, the shock absorber springs and anti-roll bars remain under tension. Long-term parking on a slope can cause uneven fatigue in the springs on one side, leading to reduced performance and lifespan. Tire wear: Tires bear all the weight of the car. Parking on a slope causes uneven force distribution on the tires, leading to deformation or uneven wear.

What is the working principle of the Lynk & Co 09 PHEV?

The working principle of the Lynk & Co 09 PHEV is that the car injects fuel through the ECU, the high-voltage coil generates high-voltage electricity to supply the spark plug, the electric ignition of the spark plug pushes the spark plug to ignite, explode, and generate power, ultimately driving the wheels to rotate. In terms of power, it is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system: The engine can output a maximum power of 254 horsepower, the transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the Lynk & Co 09 PHEV model will also be equipped with an electric four-wheel drive system. The car is basically consistent with the fuel version: The taillights adopt a "full-width gull-wing crystal taillight," and the lower part of the rear also features a dual-exhaust design with four outlets.

Can I make a U-turn when the left-turn signal is red?

No, generally U-turns are not allowed when the left-turn signal is red. Vehicles can make a U-turn at locations without no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs or markings, provided they do not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. More details are as follows: U-turn without crossing the stop line: If there is a dashed line or a turning junction at the guardrail when the signal turns red, a U-turn can be made at the red light. However, if the vehicle has reached the stop line, a U-turn cannot be performed. If the vehicle has not yet reached the stop line and there is a dashed line on the ground, a U-turn can be made even if the light is red, but not if there is a solid line. U-turn without crossing the stop line when there is a U-turn signal: Although traffic regulations state that U-turns can be made without regard to the signal if the stop line is not crossed, road conditions vary from province to province in China. Therefore, it is best to follow the traffic light instructions when making a turn.
