The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine, enabling the car to move, and ensuring normal driving. The maintenance methods for the car chassis include: 1. Regularly check the oil of each assembly: check whether the oil in each fluid reservoir is between the upper and lower scale lines. If it is below the lower scale line, replenish it in time. If the oil level drops quickly, it indicates that the system has a leak, and the leak must be identified and repaired immediately; 2. Replace worn brake pads in time; 3. Ensure safety with four-wheel alignment; 4. Selective spraying of chassis protective film to improve rust resistance, reduce impact damage, and extend the life of the chassis.

What are the correct methods for using the car's ECO mode?

Here are the correct methods for using the car's ECO mode: 1. In a car's ECO mode, it can generally be divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. The main difference lies in the intelligent control of energy usage distribution (including electricity, fuel, etc.) and reminder guidance. 2. For non-active ECO driving mode, it primarily serves as a reminder and guidance function, teaching how to save fuel, rather than having a dedicated button to turn on or off like the active ECO mode. 3. Most cars adopt the active driving mode. Under this mode, driving at the economical speed (usually between 60 to 90 km/h) can help save fuel, and some cars can even control the air conditioning to save electricity, commonly seen in Japanese and Korean cars. 4. For active ECO mode, there is usually a dedicated control button that the driver can turn on when needed. Generally, the ECO mode can be turned off when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N or P gear, or in manual mode. It is especially important to note that there is no need to turn on this mode during uphill climbs.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volvo S60 in liters?

Volvo S60 has a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters. Below is an introduction to how to check the fuel tank capacity and precautions for use. Method to check fuel tank capacity: Currently, the method to check the fuel tank capacity of a car is basically by observing the reading on the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel quantity will be accurately reflected on the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. Normally, when the fuel gauge shows only two segments remaining, it's time to refuel to avoid running out of gasoline halfway. Precautions for fuel tank use: The storage location of the fuel tank must be safe to prevent fires. The fuel tank or fuel barrel should be placed separately in a visible area, appropriately far from diesel generators, and smoking must be strictly prohibited. After refueling, the fuel tank cap should be locked to reduce fuel evaporation loss and maintain fuel cleanliness.

Where is the fuel tank cap switch located in a ŠKODA?

ŠKODA models have different locations for the fuel tank cap switch, generally found within the infotainment screen. However, the Octavia does not have an interior switch—pressing the fuel tank cap itself will automatically open it. When the car is locked, the fuel tank cap also remains locked. Below is additional information: Fuel Tank Capacity: The actual capacity of a fuel tank exceeds its nominal capacity. According to national fuel safety regulations, the nominal capacity of an automobile fuel tank is 95% of its rated capacity. Therefore, when refueling to full, it can hold up to 10% more than the nominal capacity. While a larger fuel tank is advantageous, the most essential factor is mastering fuel-efficient driving techniques. Under safe conditions, avoiding sudden acceleration and harsh braking can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Fuel Tank Maintenance: Primarily conducted during routine vehicle servicing, this involves draining accumulated water and sediment from the tank and inspecting fuel line connections and switches for leaks. For fuel tank caps equipped with air and vapor valves, ensure their ventilation holes are unobstructed. The fuel filler inlet’s filter screen should remain intact to prevent contaminants from entering the tank and clogging the fuel system. Additionally, the sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap must be in good condition to prevent fuel spillage while driving.

How to Remove Sticker Residue from Car Windows?

Here are the methods to remove stickers from glass: 1. First, peel off the adhesive decoration on the glass or product surface, soak a towel in warm water (hot water in winter), and repeatedly wipe the adhesive residue twice; then apply soap to the wet towel and wipe the residue several times; finally, use a clean warm and wet towel to wipe off the soap foam, and the adhesive residue will be removed. 2. Apply toothpaste evenly on the adhesive surface, then wipe with a soft cloth. Sometimes, if the adhesive is thick and stubborn, reapply toothpaste on the remaining residue to remove the troublesome adhesive. The principle is that toothpaste contains glycerin, which is a good solvent that can dissolve the adhesive components. Additionally, many cosmetics also contain glycerin, which can be used to remove adhesives. 3. Use a pen knife to scrape, suitable for hard surfaces like glass and floor tiles; wipe with alcohol, suitable for glass, floor tiles, and clothing; freeze the adhesive until it hardens, then peel it off directly, suitable for surfaces where alcohol or scraping methods are not advisable.

What are the body dimensions of the Octavia PRO?

The Škoda Octavia PRO's side profile exudes a strong European sporty car aesthetic. Although the domestically produced Octavia PRO has a lengthened wheelbase, its overall proportions remain well-balanced, appearing visually very sleek. In terms of body dimensions, the domestic Octavia PRO has a length of 4753mm, a width of 1832mm, a height of 1469mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. Below are some related details: Tires: The Octavia PRO uses Maxxis VS5, a sporty tire designed for sedans. The five-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels also feature a sharp design, perfectly complementing the car's sporty vibe. Wheelbase: "Lengthening" has always been one of the essential strategies for overseas brands to meet the needs of local users, especially for family-oriented customers. The larger rear legroom resulting from a longer wheelbase directly impacts the comfort of family members. Therefore, the domestically produced all-new Octavia PRO, also based on the MQB-EVO platform, has a wheelbase that is 50mm longer than its overseas counterpart. The extended wheelbase and body length give the car's side profile a more elongated and elegant appearance.

What does SRC mean in a car?

SRC stands for Synchronous Remote Control, which is the audio source selection button used to switch between CD, USB, radio, Bluetooth audio, or between songs, as well as for tuning radio stations. Similar to a remote control, it is generally located on the multifunction steering wheel of a car. There are generally two types of synchronous remote controls. The first is used in conjunction with a tension system. The tension system is also a synchronous control device, primarily achieving synchronization through quantities such as rotational speed and torque. The second is a spatial positioning controller, which is used for positional synchronization, mainly applied in systems like robots and CNC machine tools for inter-axis coordination, essentially tracking and positioning between axes. When using SRC during radio playback, flicking it upward skips to the next station, while flicking it downward returns to the previous station. For external playback devices, flicking upward skips to the next track, and flicking downward returns to the previous track or the beginning of the current track. Flicking upward and holding it fast-forwards, while flicking downward and holding it rewinds. How to use SRC in a car: During radio playback: Flick upward to skip to the next station; flick downward to return to the previous station. During external device playback: Flick upward to skip to the next track; flick downward to return to the previous track or the beginning of the current track; flick upward and hold to fast-forward; flick downward and hold to rewind.
