Medium-sized and above passenger vehicles, as well as hazardous goods transport vehicles, must be equipped with fire extinguishers. Below are specific details about vehicle fire extinguisher requirements: 1. Choose dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers: When purchasing a vehicle fire extinguisher, opt for one weighing 1-3 kilograms. Due to suboptimal storage conditions inside vehicles, dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers are recommended. 2. Usage guidelines: Before use, thoroughly shake the extinguisher several times to loosen the dry powder inside. Remove the safety pin, hold the nozzle (or support the base if it's a tubeless extinguisher), and aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. Press the handle firmly to release the dry powder from the nozzle for fire suppression.

What is a Wet Dual Clutch?

Wet dual clutch has the following meanings: 1. Wet dual clutch: It refers to a dual clutch system consisting of one large and one small multi-plate clutch, both installed coaxially in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil. Therefore, the wet clutch structure has better adjustment capabilities and excellent thermal properties, allowing it to transmit relatively large torque; 2. Advantages: The wet dual clutch is stable and mature, not only enabling fast and smooth gear shifts without interruption but also preventing overheating at low speeds due to the cooling effect of the oil; 3. Disadvantages: The structure is complex, and the size and weight are relatively large. The manufacturing cost is significantly higher than that of a dry dual clutch. Additionally, maintenance is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the coolant needs to be replaced regularly.

What does the suspension of a car refer to?

Suspension refers to all the force-transmitting connecting devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. Here is some extended information about car suspension: 1. Generally, a car's suspension system is divided into two types: non-independent suspension and independent suspension. 2. In a non-independent suspension, the wheels are mounted at both ends of a solid axle. When one wheel jumps, the other wheel also jumps accordingly, causing the entire body to vibrate or tilt. 3. In an independent suspension, the axle is divided into two sections, and each wheel is independently installed under the frame with a coil spring. When one wheel jumps, the other wheel is not affected, allowing both wheels to move independently, which improves the car's stability and comfort.

How to Check Wiper Blade Size?

Measure the length of the rubber blade with a ruler to determine the wiper blade size. Here is some information about wiper blades: 1. The technical name for a wiper is "Windshield Wiper," a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its primary function is to clear rain, snow, and dust that obstruct visibility on the windshield. 2. If the wiper arm does not indicate the model or length, you can measure the rubber blade's size. Lay the wiper flat and use a ruler to measure the length at both ends. Unit conversion: 1 inch is approximately equal to 2.5 cm.

What happens if a vehicle is low on engine oil?

Insufficient engine oil can cause the following hazards: 1. If the engine oil level is too low, it will increase engine wear. Prolonged oil deficiency may lead to severe engine corrosion and ultimately engine failure, rendering the engine inoperable. 2. When the oil level in the engine oil pan is insufficient, contact areas such as bearings and journals may suffer from poor lubrication due to the lack of oil, accelerating wear and potentially causing serious failures like bearing seizure or crankshaft seizure. 3. Additional information: When engine oil is insufficient, the oil level warning light will illuminate during driving to alert the owner to check or add engine oil.

How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter

Replacing the cabin air filter involves the following steps: 1. Typically located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, start by opening the glove box lid. 2.
