Whether to use recirculation or fresh air mode on the highway depends on different situations: In summer, to quickly cool down and maintain the interior temperature, recirculation mode should be used; If there are many passengers in the car, it is necessary to periodically switch to fresh air mode to maintain air freshness. The definitions of recirculation and fresh air modes are: 1. Recirculation mode means the air conditioning system closes external air intake and only circulates the air inside the vehicle; 2. Fresh air mode means the air conditioning system opens external air intake to circulate outside air. The functions of car air conditioning are: 1. To cool, heat, ventilate and purify the air inside the vehicle; 2. To provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reduce driver fatigue, and improve driving safety.

What is the wading depth of the Accord?

The maximum wading depth of the Accord is 350mm-400mm. The wading depth of the Accord is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact cars and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake is below the water level when the Accord is wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause serious damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, be sure to turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause serious damage to the engine due to water intake; Judge the underwater road conditions based on the passage of the vehicle ahead and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to determine the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not proceed recklessly; choose an alternative route instead.

What is the difference between a manual-automatic transmission and a dual-clutch transmission?

The differences between a manual-automatic transmission and a dual-clutch transmission: 1. Different structural methods: A manual-automatic transmission combines manual and automatic transmissions for joint use; a dual-clutch transmission consists of two separate transmissions (manual and automatic) that can be used independently. 2. Different classifications: A manual-automatic transmission is a non-traditional mechanism; a dual-clutch transmission is a transmission mechanism. 3. Different gear positions: The manual-automatic transmission has N (Neutral), P (Park), and D (Drive) positions, with some models also featuring S (Sport) and L (Low) positions; the dual-clutch transmission has gears 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, with gears 1, 3, and 5 controlled by clutch 1, and gears 2, 4, and 6 controlled by clutch 2.

Do brake pads need to be replaced together front and rear?

Brake pads do not need to be replaced together front and rear, as they have different replacement cycles. Compared to front brake pads, rear brake pads have a longer service life. Under normal driving conditions, front brake pads typically need replacement at around 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads can last about 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers before needing replacement. The replacement interval for brake pads is not only directly related to their service life but also depends on the vehicle's driving conditions and individual driving habits. New brake pads are approximately 1.5 centimeters thick, and when they wear down to only one-third of their original thickness—about 5 millimeters—they should be replaced promptly.

What does 'max' mean on a sedan?

On a sedan, 'max' stands for maximum value. The term 'max' can appear in several places on a car: 1. On the car's air conditioning system, 'max' indicates the maximum cooling mode. Pressing the 'max' button will activate the air conditioning's strongest cooling mode; 2. On the engine oil dipstick, 'max' represents the maximum fluid level. When adding engine oil, ensure the fluid level does not exceed the 'max' mark; 3. On the car's fluid reservoirs, 'max' denotes the upper limit of the fluid level in each reservoir. The highest point of the fluid level must not surpass the horizontal line corresponding to 'max'. The ideal fluid level is between the upper and lower limits.

What is the normal water temperature when driving?

When driving, the normal water temperature is between 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. The water temperature refers to the temperature of the coolant. Inside the engine, besides the oil passages, there are also coolant passages. The full name of the coolant is antifreeze coolant, and its important functions are to cool and lower the engine temperature, while also providing antifreeze protection in winter. When the water temperature reaches 90 degrees, it indicates that the engine's working temperature has stabilized. Both excessively high or low water temperatures can easily damage the engine. A temperature that is too low is not conducive to engine lubrication, while a temperature that is too high can cause the engine to spontaneously combust. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the water temperature indicator on the dashboard. If the red light comes on, do not continue driving. It is recommended that the driver pull over to let the engine cool down.
