Usage method of air conditioning pressure gauge: The gauge typically has two dials, one blue and one red. The blue dial indicates low pressure, while the red one shows high pressure. Under normal operating conditions of the air conditioning system, the low pressure should range between 1.0 to 2.5 bar, and the high pressure between 15 to 18 bar, with slight deviations possible in actual readings. The working principle of the air conditioning pressure gauge is that when the system pressure exceeds or falls below the rated safe pressure, the disc inside the sensor moves instantly. This movement drives the switch connector to connect or disconnect via the connecting rod. When the pressure drops or rises back to the rated recovery value, the disc resets instantly, and the switch automatically returns to its original position. The free end of the elastic element generates displacement, which directly or after comparison pushes the switch component, altering its on/off state to achieve the purpose of controlling the measured pressure.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Feature in the T-Roc?

The methods for the T-Roc's auto start-stop feature are as follows: 1. Automatic transmission vehicles: Once the car is started, the auto start-stop system is in normal working condition. When encountering a red light or stopping for other reasons, press the brake pedal, and the engine will automatically shut off after approximately two seconds. To restart, simply release the brake and press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, at which point the engine will restart. 2. Manual transmission vehicles: Unless the auto start-stop button is turned off, the system is also enabled by default. When stopping, shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and release the clutch. Upon detecting these three actions, the system will automatically shut off the engine. When the clutch is pressed again, the engine will automatically restart.

How Long Can an Engine Run Without Oil?

If a car idles without oil, it can run for about half an hour. If driven without oil, it can last for a maximum of 15-20 minutes. Prolonged operation without oil will cause irreversible damage to the engine and may even lead to complete engine failure. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Due to the high-speed operation of the car engine, the friction between the internal pistons and other metal components can reach working temperatures of 400°C to 600°C. Without oil lubrication, the dry friction between parts, combined with ineffective cooling, will cause the engine to experience issues like bearing seizure or cylinder scoring within minutes due to excessive heat. 2. Always monitor the coolant temperature gauge while driving, ensuring it does not exceed 95°C. In special circumstances, lifting the engine hood can enhance air convection for better cooling and heat dissipation.

How to Determine Whether a Car is China 5 or China 6 Emission Standard?

To identify whether a car meets China 5 or China 6 emission standards, you can refer to the following methods: 1. Online VIN or engine number lookup: New vehicles come with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or engine number. By entering these details on relevant websites, you can check whether the car complies with China 5 or China 6 standards. 2. Check the vehicle conformity certificate: The emission standard is clearly stated in a dedicated section of this document. China 5 is marked with a "V", while China 6 uses the Roman numeral "VI". 3. Review the environmental protection list: A mandatory document provided during purchase explicitly states whether the vehicle meets China 5 or China 6 standards. 4. Examine the vehicle consistency certificate: The emission standard can be decoded from a specific number sequence in the 3C certification section for exhaust emissions. Look for a decimal point in this sequence - the digit immediately following it indicates whether the car is China 5 or China 6 compliant.

What is the fuel consumption of the Big G?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Big G is 5.9-8.1L/100km. Currently, there are 3 models of the Big G on sale: the G500, the G500 Flame Special Edition, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km, and the G350 with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.1L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the data measured under the NEDC test procedure for combined driving conditions. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 10.7-15.7L/100km. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Clean engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon deposits in the engine are a significant cause, mainly due to the use of unsuitable fuel. It is recommended to add a certain amount of cleaning agent when refueling. If the effect is not noticeable, it indicates a large amount of carbon deposits in the engine. In this case, the car must be taken to a 4S shop for professional technicians to clean the carbon deposits in the engine. Check the oxygen sensor: As an internal control unit of the car, the oxygen sensor mainly monitors the fuel-air ratio in the engine. Once damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. If the oxygen sensor is damaged, the exhaust pipe will emit darker-colored exhaust gases during driving, and the oxygen sensor should be replaced immediately. Regularly replace the three filters: During vehicle use, the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter must be replaced regularly. If not replaced for a long time, they become dirty and send incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Check the electronic control unit: Although the engine's electronic control unit is highly reliable, in older vehicles, various faults may inevitably occur.

Does the 210 seconds for reverse parking include both left and right parking?

Reverse parking in 210 seconds includes both left and right parking. Here are the relevant details: 1. Subject 2 reverse parking test: Includes left and right parking, with a test duration of 3.5 minutes. According to relevant statistics, the average time for students to complete reverse parking is about 2 minutes, so 210 seconds is sufficient. 2. Additional information: Before the test, carefully observe the condition of the site. Sloped ground or uneven surfaces can cause the vehicle to stop. During reverse parking, maintain a calm mindset to avoid poor clutch control due to excessive nervousness. Keeping the speed steady will help you complete the parking better.
