The engine used in the MG 5 is domestically produced, independently developed by SAIC Motor. The engine model used in the MG 5 is 15S4C, with a maximum horsepower of 120 hp, a maximum power of 88 KW, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. For daily maintenance of the MG 5 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate; When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will either burst the filter element or bypass it through a safety valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Why Does a New Driver's Car Drift on the Highway?

Most cases of a new driver's car drifting are caused by the driver themselves. Excessive Nervousness: Being overly nervous leads to excessive steering wheel movements. Limited Field of Vision: A narrow field of vision can cause the car to drift unconsciously. Steering Wheel Issues: Incorrect steering wheel calibration or misalignment. Reference Points: Disorganized reference points or failure to find suitable ones. Methods to Drive Straight: Look far ahead on the road, keep the steering wheel straight, and find reliable reference points. The most important thing is to practice frequently to develop a feel for the car. As a car owner, the real way to prevent drifting is to practice more. New drivers may not have a strong sense of the road or the car, which cannot be taught in driving school. It's best to find an empty road to practice on, as more practice will lead to improvement. During this time, you can ask a friend to help remind you or drive a car equipped with a lane departure warning system.

Reasons for Not Seeing the Corner When Reversing into the Garage Too Late

The reason for not seeing the corner when reversing into the garage too late is that the steering wheel is turned too early or too late, and the rearview mirror is not adjusted to the proper position. Adjusting the left rearview mirror: First, adjust the left rearview mirror. Lower the left rearview mirror to its lowest position. You should be able to see the left rear wheel in the left rearview mirror. The left front door handle should be positioned at the halfway point of the left rearview mirror vertically, with the car body occupying one-third of the mirror horizontally. Similarly, the right rearview mirror should also allow you to see the right rear wheel. Observing the left and right rearview mirrors: When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the starting line, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right. In the right rearview mirror, ensure the distance between the car body and the garage corner is 30 centimeters. Without moving the steering wheel, reverse the car into the garage. Maintain a 30-centimeter distance between the car body and the garage lines on both sides. When observing the left and right rearview mirrors and seeing that the car body is parallel to the garage lines, straighten the steering wheel.

Why does the air conditioning in a new energy vehicle suddenly stop cooling?

The air conditioning in a new energy vehicle may stop cooling due to insufficient or low refrigerant levels, or minor refrigerant leaks. Additionally, excessive refrigerant can also cause the air conditioning to stop cooling. Solutions for insufficient or low refrigerant: You can observe from the sight glass on top of the dryer tank. When the air conditioning is operating normally, if continuous and slow bubbles appear in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If obvious bubble flipping occurs, it means the refrigerant is severely insufficient. If the refrigerant is insufficient or too low, the solution is to add refrigerant. However, note that if adding from the low-pressure side, the refrigerant bottle must not be inverted; if adding from the high-pressure side, the engine must not be started. Solutions for excessive refrigerant: Observe from the sight glass on top of the dryer tank. If no bubbles are visible in the sight glass when the vehicle's air conditioning is running, and no bubbles appear after the compressor stops, it definitely indicates excessive refrigerant. If the pressurized cooling oil volume is too high, during normal operation of the air conditioning system, somewhat turbid bubbles can be seen in the sight glass. Of course, if the refrigerant is indeed excessive, you can slowly release some from the maintenance port on the low-pressure side of the air conditioning system.

What causes a car horn to stop working?

The reasons for a car horn not working include the following: 1. Poor sealing leading to moisture: The interior of the horn is sealed, and if the sealing is not tight, moisture may enter during car washing or water vapor may be present in the internal space, which can easily cause the contacts to become damp and fail to function properly. 2. Poor contact at the electromagnetic coil terminals: Some horns have aluminum metal rivets crimped to connect the enameled wire terminals of the internal electromagnetic coils, rather than being securely welded. If the insulation paint on the ends of the enameled wire is not properly removed or the rivets are not crimped tightly, it can easily lead to intermittent contact faults, resulting in poor horn performance. This type of fault is due to the quality of the horn and cannot be repaired; only replacement with a new part is possible. 3. Contact erosion: Prolonged pressing of the horn can cause the contacts to erode, creating impedance. This reduces the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil, weakening the electromagnetic force and preventing it from attracting the armature to drive the diaphragm to vibrate normally, resulting in a hoarse sound or even no sound at all. However, when the horn is pressed repeatedly, a momentary strong current passing through the impedance can still allow it to work normally, leading to intermittent functionality.

Does the driving license automatically clear points upon expiration?

Points deducted from the driving license will be cleared as long as the fines for the points are paid in full. The clearance time is until 24:00 Beijing Time on the expiration date. As long as the points do not reach 12 within one scoring cycle and there are no records of unhandled violations (generally referring to C1), the previous points will be reset to 0 at the beginning of the next scoring cycle. The calculation method for the driving license scoring cycle is as follows: 1. Calculated from the day the driving license is initially obtained: Every 12 months is a cycle. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," Article 65, the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driving license is initially obtained; 2. Scoring values: Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points for a single violation are divided into five types: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point; 3. Article 66: For road traffic safety violations by motor vehicle drivers, penalties and points are executed simultaneously. If a motor vehicle driver has more than one violation to be scored at the same time, the points should be calculated separately and accumulated.

What does the remaining score dash on a driver's license mean?

This situation generally refers to how many points are left on the driver's license, and the minus sign is equivalent to deducting 0 points. The refresh time for driver's license points is based on a 12-month scoring cycle starting from the initial issuance date. For example, if you obtained your driver's license on February 1, 2019, the points will refresh on January 31, 2019, resetting to the full score. Additional information: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": 1. The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date of initial issuance of the motor vehicle driver's license. Based on the severity of road traffic safety violations, the points deducted at one time are categorized into five types: 12 points, 6 points, 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point. 2. If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the accumulated points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle.
