The grease should be applied to the Prado's drive shaft every 10,000 kilometers. The drive shaft is a high-speed rotating body with minimal support. Taking the 2019 Prado as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large SUV category, with body dimensions of 4840mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1890mm in height, a wheelbase of 2790mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 87 liters. The 2019 Prado features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a four-link non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 280PS, a maximum power of 206kW, and a maximum torque of 365Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

What is the reason for the Mercedes-Benz C prompting to start the engine and referring to the user?

When the dashboard displays the message "Start the engine, refer to the user manual," it indicates an issue with the car battery that requires inspection, and a text message will also be received. The battery's charge is being depleted: If the owner frequently uses the car for short trips or often turns off the engine to listen to music or the radio—for example, driving twice a day with each trip not exceeding 5 kilometers—the distance is too short to fully charge the battery. As a result, the battery's charge is continuously being used up without sufficient replenishment. It is recommended to drive more on weekends. Drive more: For the issue of each trip being too short, the only solution is to drive more daily. When the car is to be parked for an extended period, it is advisable to purchase a charger and charge the vehicle overnight.

What causes the red light on the Volkswagen Lamando's water temperature gauge to flash?

It may be a false alarm caused by loose wiring, or it could be due to a lack of water in the engine's radiator. You can stop the car for a preliminary check to see if the engine is short of water or leaking, or if the electric fan has stopped working, among other reasons. If the cause cannot be identified, you can call the repair station's rescue hotline for assistance. Water temperature indicator light: It displays the temperature of the coolant inside the engine. When the ignition is turned on and the vehicle performs a self-check, the light will illuminate for a few seconds and then turn off. Water temperature indicator light stays on: This indicates that the coolant temperature has exceeded the specified value, and you should stop driving immediately. The light will turn off once the water temperature returns to normal. The water temperature gauge visually displays the temperature of the water in the engine's radiator, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. Both excessively high and low water temperatures can affect the engine's performance. Typically, the normal operating water temperature for a car is around 90 degrees Celsius. If you notice the temperature is too high or too low, or if it rises or drops rapidly, these are abnormal conditions.

What causes rear seat vibration in the Song Plus DM-i?

Rear seat vibration in the Song Plus DM-i is caused by poor performance or damage to the shock absorbers. In such cases, you can visit a 4S shop for inspection and handling. Shock absorber replacement cycle: The shock absorbers of a car need to be replaced after driving about 100,000 kilometers. Based on the average annual mileage of 20,000 kilometers for household cars, shock absorbers can be used for 5 years. If you usually drive on roads with good conditions, the service life of the shock absorbers can be extended. Shock absorber structure: It mainly consists of an upper support, piston rod, hydraulic oil, piston, oil storage cylinder, pressure cylinder, bottom valve, lower support, and flow valve. The upper support, piston, and piston rod are integrated and connected to the car body, while the lower support and pressure cylinder are integrated and connected to the frame swing arm.

What to Do When the Bestsurn X40 Lacks Power During Gear Shifting and Acceleration?

Continuously shift down to the lowest gear to provide maximum torque and power output. Switch to manual mode (M gear): If the vehicle is an automatic transmission model with an M gear and experiences insufficient power when going uphill, immediately switch to manual mode (i.e., M gear). The M gear and D gear (automatic mode) are usually adjacent (or button-operated). As shown in the illustration, simply move the gear lever to the left, and then push it forward to downshift. If there is no M gear but the gear lever has "+-" symbols nearby, the same operation can be performed. The principle is the same as paddle shifting—lower gears provide maximum torque and power output. This method is relatively reliable because manual mode typically locks the gear and does not easily upshift until the transmission protection is triggered. Force the RPM: If the vehicle does not have the aforementioned gears and you still want to continue moving forward, the only option is to force the RPM. First, press the brake to stop the vehicle, engage the handbrake, then press the brake with your left foot while releasing the handbrake. At this point, press the accelerator with your right foot to force the RPM higher, then release the brake with your left foot. This can also provide greater power. The principle is the same as launch control. This operation is similar to using the S gear—if the vehicle has an S gear, simply shift into it directly.

What is the normal data stream range for an automotive intake pressure sensor?

The absolute pressure value in the intake manifold should be between 40-80 KPA, which is the normal range for the intake pressure sensor. When the engine is running, the intake manifold pressure will be lower than atmospheric pressure due to the suction effect created by the downward movement of the piston during the intake stroke. For a properly functioning engine, the magnitude and variation of vacuum in the intake manifold have fixed ranges and patterns. The level and stability of the intake manifold vacuum are related to factors such as the number of engine cylinders, rotational speed, sealing performance, ignition performance, air-fuel ratio of the mixture, and throttle opening. Throttle opening: The smaller the throttle opening, the greater the suction effect created by the piston during intake, resulting in higher intake manifold suction, greater vacuum, and lower intake manifold pressure. Engine speed: The higher the engine speed, the greater the suction effect during intake, leading to higher intake manifold suction, greater vacuum, and lower intake manifold pressure. Vacuum is related to both engine speed and throttle opening. If the throttle opening is constant, higher engine speeds result in greater vacuum. Sealing performance: Better sealing performance leads to higher intake manifold suction, greater vacuum, and lower intake manifold pressure. If the vacuum level deviates from the normal range, it indicates the presence of a certain engine fault.

Should the car air conditioning use internal or external circulation when cooling?

When cooling with the car air conditioning, you should first turn on the external circulation, then switch to internal circulation. After getting in the car, start with external circulation to ventilate and dissipate heat, while also opening the windows and sunroof to speed up heat dissipation. After 3-5 minutes when the interior temperature has stabilized, close all windows, turn on the cooling, and switch the air conditioning to internal circulation. Definition of internal circulation: Internal circulation is a state of the car's air conditioning system. In this state, the air exchange channels between the inside and outside of the car are closed. When the fan is off, the air inside does not circulate; when the fan is on, the air drawn in comes only from inside the car, creating an internal air flow cycle. Function of internal circulation: The main function of internal circulation is to block polluted air, prevent outside air from entering the car, and maintain clean air inside the vehicle. It can quickly cool the car, but even with internal circulation on, about 20% of the air still exchanges with the outside, meaning it is not completely sealed.
