The brake fluid for the Envision should be replaced every 15 months or 25,000 kilometers as specified by the manufacturer. Below is relevant information about brake fluid: 1. The function of brake fluid is to transmit the braking pressure to the brake pistons at all four wheels, pushing the pistons to clamp the brake pads and discs, thereby achieving the braking effect. 2. Brake fluid is also highly hygroscopic, gradually absorbing moisture from the surrounding air and deteriorating over time. When brake fluid containing moisture is pressurized, the moisture can vaporize and create bubbles, leading to a spongy brake pedal, significantly impairing braking performance and potentially corroding the brake lines. 3. As the brake pads wear and the piston calipers adjust, the brake fluid level will gradually decrease. When the fluid level falls below the minimum mark, the brake system warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. At this point, simply topping up the brake fluid to the proper level is sufficient.

Must Turning Vehicles Yield to Straight-going Vehicles?

Turning vehicles are not always required to yield to straight-going vehicles. There are only two situations where turning must yield to straight-going. When the road has a main lane and an auxiliary lane: Roads can be divided into main lanes and auxiliary lanes. Whether going straight or turning, as long as you are driving on the auxiliary lane, you should proactively slow down and yield, or even stop, when you see vehicles on the main lane. Never force your way through. If caught by surveillance cameras, the driver on the auxiliary lane who fails to yield will face corresponding penalties. If a traffic accident occurs, the vehicle driving on the auxiliary lane, even if it needs to go straight, will bear full responsibility for the accident. When there is a yield sign: If you drive through an intersection and see an inverted triangle sign on the ground, this is actually a yield sign, reminding drivers to slow down. If vehicles are coming from other directions, the vehicles in the lane marked with the inverted triangle yield sign must slow down or even stop to yield, even if they are going straight, while vehicles in other lanes may be turning. In this case, straight-going vehicles should reasonably yield to turning vehicles. Otherwise, the driver will face corresponding penalties. If a traffic accident occurs due to failure to yield, the vehicle in the lane with the inverted triangle yield sign will bear full responsibility.

What does the battery +- display in a car mean?

The battery has two terminals: the + is the positive terminal, and the - is the negative terminal. Below are precautions for using the generator: 1. Regular cleaning: Frequently clean dust and dirt from the generator's exterior to maintain cleanliness and good ventilation. 2. Regular inspection: Periodically check the tightness of all fasteners related to the generator and secure them promptly. 3. Other considerations: During battery installation, ensure correct installation—typically, the positive cable should be connected first; otherwise, diodes may burn out easily. When using an integrated circuit regulator, do not turn off the ignition switch immediately after the engine stops. If the generator malfunctions, address the issue promptly to avoid more severe consequences.

Can a Car Run on Half Gasoline and Half Diesel?

A car can run on half gasoline and half diesel, but it is not recommended. Mixing a small amount of diesel is not too severe, but prolonged use can lead to engine knocking and damage to the catalytic converter. Below are the relevant details: Incomplete Combustion: Gasoline cars have smaller fuel injectors, while diesel cars have larger ones. This causes diesel to not fully atomize when injected, leading to incomplete combustion. Engine Damage: Incompletely combusted diesel entering the cylinders forms carbon deposits. Excessive carbon buildup can cause internal engine wear. Oil Requirements for Gasoline and Diesel Cars: Gasoline and diesel engines operate under different conditions. Gasoline has a lower ignition point, and gasoline cars typically ignite a fuel-air mixture via spark plugs, with lower cylinder pressure. Diesel cars, on the other hand, use a fuel injection pump to compress diesel into high-pressure fuel, which is then injected into the cylinders via injectors, resulting in higher cylinder pressure, rougher operation, and larger component clearances. Therefore, the oil requirements for gasoline and diesel cars differ. Gasoline engines require thinner oil with better fluidity, while diesel engines, which operate under higher pressure, harsher conditions, and produce more carbon deposits, need thicker oil with stronger cleaning capabilities and larger clearances.

How often should the oil in a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission be replaced?

7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission oil is recommended to be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information about the transmission: 1. Dual-clutch transmission: A dual-clutch transmission is a relatively common type of automatic transmission. This transmission is developed based on manual transmissions and has a structure similar to manual transmissions, but with an additional set of clutches and a shift control mechanism. 2. Transmission classification: The clutch plates in a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil, while those in a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil. Wet dual-clutch transmissions offer better heat dissipation performance, as well as improved reliability and durability. However, wet dual-clutch transmissions have a more complex structure and higher costs.

What Causes the Shock Absorber to Make Abnormal Noises When Going Over Speed Bumps?

The reasons for abnormal noises from the shock absorber when going over speed bumps are as follows: 1. Dust and debris entering the vehicle interior: The dust cover's function is to keep dust and other impurities out. When the dust cover is damaged, a lot of dust can enter the vehicle, causing the car to make abnormal noises when passing over speed bumps. 2. Shock absorber malfunction: If the car's shock absorber fails, it cannot rebound properly when driving over uneven road sections. 3. Loose belt in the engine: Under normal circumstances, the belt in the engine should not be loose, but prolonged jolting can cause the belt to loosen. Once the belt becomes loose, the car will make abnormal noises when driving over speed bumps. 4. Suspension failure: Any issue with the car's suspension components can cause the shock absorber to make noises.

How to Clean Rusty Brake Discs?

If there is slight rust, it can be removed by continuous braking while driving. For moderate rust, it is best to have a professional remove the brake discs for grinding. For severe rust, it is recommended to replace them directly. The methods for cleaning rust and preventing rust are as follows: Methods: If there is only slight rust, you can remove it by continuous braking while driving on a safe road section. For severe rust, it is best to have a professional mechanic remove the brake discs and grind them with sandpaper to clean the rust thoroughly. If the vehicle is often left unused, it is advisable to perform maintenance on the brake discs every two months to prevent severe rust corrosion and ensure the vehicle is always ready to drive. Prevention: Be vigilant about minor scratches and regularly inspect the car body, engine hood, and surrounding areas. If any abnormalities are found, take the vehicle to a professional repair shop promptly. Areas such as the underside of the body and the interior floor are prone to accumulating sludge, which can worsen moisture if not cleaned in time. Regularly inspect areas like the inner and outer edges of the wheel hubs, doors, bottom corners of the trunk, keyholes, and moving parts of the wiper arms. Ensure that the drainage holes on doors and various parts of the body remain unobstructed, and check the humidity of interior coverings to prevent rust on floor components. Applying glaze to the soft paint surface of the brake discs can protect the chassis from acid rain and corrosion, prevent the original protective layer from cracking or peeling, and also shield against impacts from small stones while driving.
