Changan's Blue Whale series turbocharged engines can use 92 octane gasoline. However, most turbocharged engines generally require 95 octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine, which can affect the engine's power and fuel consumption. Gasolines with different octane ratings have varying levels of octane values; the higher the octane rating, the higher the octane value, and the better the stability of the gasoline. If gasoline with poor stability is used, it is very likely to cause knocking.

How to Turn on the Bora's Low Beam Headlights?

After turning on the Bora's lights, the light control lever is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Move the lever to the low beam icon to activate the low beam headlights. Additional Information: 1. Generally, pushing the lever toward the engine compartment turns on the high beams continuously; pulling it back one notch turns off the high beams and restores the low beams; pushing it one more notch toward the driver flashes the high beams, and releasing the lever automatically returns it to the low beam position. This is commonly used to alert oncoming vehicles, known as alternating between high and low beams. 2. Although the high beams can be activated by pushing the lever outward, a prerequisite is that the low beams must already be on. Otherwise, operating the lever in other light modes will not activate the high beams. However, pulling the lever inward to flash the high beams has no restrictions and can be done even when the lights are off. 3. If a driver is unsure whether the high beams or low beams are on during nighttime driving, they can check the indicators on the dashboard. The low beam icon has downward-pointing light lines, while the high beam icon has straight, forward-pointing light lines.

What is the normal leakage current for a car?

Under normal circumstances, the leakage current of a car is generally around 45 milliamperes. Cars have dark current, which falls within the normal range of leakage. There are two methods for charging the battery: Fast Charging (Constant Current Charging): Fast charging does not necessarily save time. It only quickly activates the surface of the battery, while the battery's interior is not fully charged. Slow Charging (Constant Voltage Charging): Another method for charging a car battery is slow charging, which takes 10-15 hours. Deeply discharged batteries must undergo slow charging; otherwise, insufficient charging time and inadequate charge will directly affect the car's driving performance. Causes of Battery Leakage: Short Circuit or Oxidation of Battery Plates: This leads to self-discharge and power loss, which is caused by internal battery discharge. This factor is an important indicator of the battery's quality. Grounding Circuit Causing Leakage: Leakage caused by grounding of car electrical components, wiring harnesses, sensors, controllers, actuators, and other electronic components and circuits leads to battery power loss. This is known as external battery discharge and is a latent circuit fault that must be identified and rectified.

What are the main maintenance items for new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicles primarily require maintenance on three major components: the battery, motor, and electrical system. Additionally, maintenance includes the chassis, inspection of fluids and air circuits, air conditioning system, replacement of wear-prone parts such as brake pads, wipers, and tires. Routine maintenance of the cooling system, braking system, and suspension is similar to that of conventional vehicles. New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive systems, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures.

What is the correct way to turn on car lights?

Correct method is to use corresponding light buttons to turn on car lights. Here is detailed introduction about car lights: 1. Headlights: Also called front lights or LED daytime running lights. As the 'eyes' of a car, they not only relate to the owner's image but are crucial for safe driving at night or in bad weather. Usage and maintenance shouldn't be neglected. 2. Fog lights: Their purpose is to illuminate the road ahead in adverse conditions like fog, snow, heavy rain, or dusty environments to ensure driving safety. In recent years, fog lights are often designed on front bumpers for styling purposes.

What Are the Reasons for Increasingly Louder Car Engine Noise?

Car engine noise becomes increasingly louder due to the following reasons: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the engine; 2. Inappropriate engine oil usage or dirty engine oil; 3. Loose screws on the engine underguard; 4. Aging engine mount pads; 5. Loose plastic components in the engine compartment. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, originating in the UK. It can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Its types include internal combustion engines (e.g., gasoline engines), external combustion engines (e.g., Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors, among others.

What are the types of automotive soundproofing materials?

Automotive soundproofing materials can be categorized into several types, including damping and vibration reduction, sound absorption and filtration, sealing for sound insulation, and filling for reinforcement. Among these, the damping plate in the damping and vibration reduction category is particularly important. The noise inside a car primarily comes from resonance caused by bumps during driving and the sound emitted by the engine. Therefore, the performance of the damping plate significantly impacts the overall noise reduction effect of the vehicle. Different automotive soundproofing materials are used based on the source of the noise. For example, soundproofing materials are installed in areas prone to noise, such as doors, roofs, windows, the underbody chassis, the trunk, and the engine hood.
