First, open the driver's door and locate the front hood control switch on the left side. Pull the control switch upward, and the latch of the front hood will release. Functions of the hood: 1. Airflow guidance. For objects moving at high speeds in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the hood effectively adjusts the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and reduces the impact of airflow on the vehicle. 2. Protection of the engine and surrounding pipeline components. Beneath the hood lie crucial components of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, fuel system, braking system, and transmission system, all of which are vital to the vehicle. By enhancing the strength and structure of the hood, it can effectively prevent adverse effects such as impacts, corrosion, rain, and electrical interference, ensuring the proper functioning of the vehicle.

Should the Engine Be Turned Off When Washing the Car?

Automatic car washing does not require turning off the engine. Here are some precautions regarding automatic car washing: Car Settings: When entering an automatic car wash, first set the car to neutral gear, do not use the handbrake or foot brake. Once inside the automatic car wash, do not move the steering wheel randomly or perform any operations on the vehicle, as the external washing equipment may affect the car.

What does 7.7l/100km mean in terms of fuel consumption?

7.7l/100km refers to the commonly mentioned '7.7 liters per 100 kilometers' fuel consumption, which means the amount of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers. Below are some related details about fuel consumption: Methods to check fuel consumption: Refer to the official fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. When purchasing a vehicle at a 4S store, a yellow sticker is usually placed on the windshield, clearly stating the urban, suburban, and combined fuel consumption figures tested by the Ministry. Methods to calculate fuel consumption: After filling up the tank, note down the odometer reading. The next time you fill up, record the number of liters added and the current odometer reading. Divide the liters of fuel added by the difference in odometer readings to get the fuel consumption per kilometer. Multiply this figure by 100 to get the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driven at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely used.

Should You Turn on Recirculation Mode When Defogging?

Do not turn on recirculation mode when defogging; use the fresh air mode for defogging instead. Defogging button symbols: The front windshield defogging button symbol is a fan shape with multiple curved lines. The rear windshield defogging button symbol is a square with multiple curved lines. Front windshield defogging uses the air conditioning system, while rear windshield defogging uses heating wires. Rear defogging function: In some cars, activating the rear windshield defogging function also turns on the side mirror heating function. These vehicles do not have a separate side mirror heating button. Drivers who wish to use the side mirror heating feature can simply press the rear windshield defogging button.

Can You Drive Normally with a Tire Pressure of 188?

A tire pressure of 188 is not suitable for normal driving. The standard tire pressure for motor vehicles typically ranges between 230 kPa and 250 kPa. Driving with excessively low tire pressure poses significant safety risks, accelerates tire wear, and increases the likelihood of tire blowouts, especially during high-speed driving. Below are some key points about tire pressure: Tire pressure standards vary by tire type and vehicle model: Different vehicle models have varying weights, heights, and tire sizes, which require different tire pressures. Standard tires usually have a recommended pressure of 240 kPa to 250 kPa, while reinforced tires require 280 kPa to 290 kPa. Factors affecting tire pressure: Seasonal changes significantly impact tire pressure. In summer, high temperatures can cause tires to heat up during driving, and excessive pressure increases the risk of blowouts, so slightly lower pressure is recommended. In winter, tire pressure should be slightly higher due to thermal contraction, with an ideal range between 250 kPa and 280 kPa.
