Engine temperature is low due to: 1. Engine fluid condensation; 2. Excessively low ambient temperature; 3. Thermostat and fan malfunctions causing excessive cooling; 4. Excessive engine lubricant; 5. Insufficient cooling leading to high temperatures; 6. Blocked circulating water pipes. Hazards of excessively low engine temperature: 1. Affects fuel-air mixture, causing poor atomization; 2. Reduced engine power and increased fuel consumption; 3. Increased oil viscosity leading to poor lubrication and accelerated component wear; 4. Unvaporized fuel washing cylinder surfaces, damaging lubricating oil film and accelerating wear; 5. Increased engine operating resistance, making starting difficult and fuel evaporation problematic.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2020 New Bora?

2020 New Bora has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. The 2020 New Bora 280TSI version requires 95-octane gasoline, while other versions use 92-octane. Its fuel consumption ranges from 5.5 to 5.8L per 100 kilometers, allowing a driving range of 862 to 909 kilometers on a full tank. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What does a tidal lane line mean?

Tidal lane lines are variable lane lines. Here is an introduction to tidal lane lines: 1. How to identify: The traffic sign for tidal lanes is a yellow triangle with a bidirectional arrow inside the dashed line, while the actual road is composed of two double yellow dashed lines. 2. Precautions: Before entering a tidal lane, be sure to follow the traffic lights or the instructions of traffic police. If you enter the wrong lane, you will be considered as driving against the flow and face penalties such as demerit points and fines. 3. Implementation methods: (1) Traffic police can adjust the direction of the lane at any time using a handheld remote control based on real-time traffic conditions. If the intersection has obvious traffic characteristics and there are no emergencies, the police can also pre-program the timing for fixed sign changes, allowing automatic adjustments. Additionally, the control center can monitor intersection conditions through instruments and use remote control methods to manage the signs when appropriate. If the intersection signal is connected to a computer network, an automatic recognition system can identify and regulate the lanes automatically. (2) Many Western countries have adopted variable lanes, where the median barrier can be moved via remote control, allowing traffic to be organized by changing lane configurations based on varying traffic flow conditions.

What is the highest boiling point of antifreeze?

The boiling point of antifreeze should be at least 108°C or higher, while high-quality antifreeze can achieve a freezing protection effect of around -60°C. This means that the lower the freezing point and the higher the boiling point, the greater the temperature difference, indicating relatively better quality of the antifreeze. Precautions for using antifreeze: 1. Try to use the same brand of antifreeze: Different brands of antifreeze use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so antifreeze of different brands should not be mixed. 2. Avoid diluting with water: Traditional inorganic antifreeze should not be diluted with water, as it can cause precipitation, severely affecting the normal function of the antifreeze. Organic antifreeze can be diluted with water, but not too much. 3. For vehicles using antifreeze, never directly add tap water: Distilled or deionized water should be added. If neither is available, cooled boiled water is better than tap water. If antifreeze is lost due to leakage, the same brand of antifreeze should be replenished. Antifreeze should be used all year round; using tap water in summer is not scientific and is counterproductive. 4. Flocculent precipitation in antifreeze: Some antifreeze may develop a small amount of flocculent precipitation after being stored for a year. This phenomenon is mostly caused by the precipitation of additives and does not require disposal. If a large amount of granular precipitation appears, it indicates that the antifreeze has deteriorated and should no longer be used.

How to Remove the Steering Wheel of a Fit?

Honda Fit steering wheel cover removal steps: 1. Unscrew the steering wheel bolts and detach the airbag. 2. Unplug the black horn connector. 3. For the airbag wiring, grasp the white protrusions on both sides and wiggle left and right. Precautions for Honda Fit steering wheel cover removal: 1. Do not tamper with the internal airbag to avoid affecting its normal functionality. 2. Simply removing the airbag cover does not impact airbag operation. The airbag deployment is triggered by external vehicle sensors detecting a severe impact, which sends a signal to the computer. The computer then ignites the airbag, causing the internal gas to explode and generate high-pressure gas for instant deployment.

How Often Should Spark Plugs Be Replaced, Based on Mileage?

Spark plug replacement is typically based on mileage. Under normal maintenance conditions, they should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's recommended to follow the user manual. Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its condition based on the following appearance and color. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug has oil stains or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs like blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected or the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil creeping up.
