KYB shock absorbers come in three color options: blue, yellow, and black, which differ in the following two aspects: 1. Development purpose: The blue shock absorbers are developed based on actual vehicles and are generally used as aftermarket modifications for cars. The yellow shock absorbers are designed for sports models, while the black shock absorbers are developed as replacements for the original vehicle shock absorbers. 2. Performance effects: The blue shock absorbers offer slightly better performance than the factory ones, effectively suppressing body roll during motion to enhance the driver's handling experience. The yellow shock absorbers can lower the vehicle's chassis after installation, improving driving stability. The black shock absorbers are designed to closely match the original vehicle's shock absorbers in terms of structure and performance, focusing more on comfort. If the original shock absorbers fail, the black ones can be used as replacements.

Where is the Pathfinder's cabin air filter located?

The Pathfinder's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. You can access it by opening the glove compartment. The cabin air filter is a crucial component of the air conditioning system. When air is drawn into the vehicle by the fan, the cabin air filter removes pollutants such as exhaust fumes, dust, powder, bacteria, and particles, providing clean and fresh air for the vehicle's interior and safeguarding the health of passengers. The functions of the cabin air filter are as follows: 1. It ensures a tight seal between the filter and the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities from the air, such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility and safe driving for the driver and passengers. It provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. It also effectively sterilizes and deodorizes the air.

Can You Keep Driving When the Car Radiator Boils Over?

You should not continue driving when the car radiator boils over. Here are the specific reasons why: 1. After the radiator boils over, the engine's heat dissipation becomes poor, and the excessively high temperature causes components to expand, reducing the clearance between parts. 2. The high temperature decreases the viscosity of the engine oil, accelerating wear on various components. If you do not stop immediately and take appropriate measures, the engine may suffer severe damage or even catastrophic failure. Here are the specific reasons why a car radiator may boil over: 1. Insufficient coolant. The primary function of coolant is to lower the engine's temperature. If there is too little coolant, the engine will overheat. 2. Water pump failure. The engine block has a complete water circulation system, with a water pump installed at the upper outlet. Its role is to pump out hot water and pump in cold water through the pulley to cool the engine. If the water pump fails, the engine's water circulation system will not function properly. 3. Cooling fan failure. The cooling performance of the fan directly affects the engine's heat dissipation capability.

What is a 4x4 Vehicle?

4x4 refers to a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Four-wheel drive, also known as all-wheel drive, means that both the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are powered. The engine's torque is distributed between all four wheels in varying proportions depending on road conditions to enhance the vehicle's driving capability. Four-wheel drive systems are classified as follows: 1. Full-Time 4WD: The front and rear wheels are always in four-wheel-drive mode, with the engine's torque distributed 50:50 between the front and rear wheels. Full-time 4WD provides excellent driving control and tracking but is less fuel-efficient and economical. 2. Part-Time 4WD: The driver can switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions. This is the most common drive mode for off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs. The advantage is the ability to choose the drive mode according to actual conditions, making it more economical. The downside is the relatively complex mechanical structure, requiring the driver to have some experience to master the timing of switching. 3. Real-Time 4WD: In vehicles with real-time 4WD, the drive mode is controlled by the computer. Under normal road conditions, the vehicle typically operates in (front) rear-wheel drive. If the road is poor or the drive wheels slip, the computer automatically detects this and immediately redistributes the engine's torque to the other two wheels, switching to four-wheel-drive mode. This system is easy to operate but has the disadvantage of slower computer response times and less driving engagement.

Will One Overheat Damage the Engine?

One overheat will not damage the engine, but frequent overheating can cause certain damage to the engine. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Overheating: Refers to a malfunction in the engine's cooling system, which prevents the engine from cooling properly during operation, leading to excessively high water temperature. 2. Causes: Thermostat failure, radiator fan damage, insufficient coolant in the radiator, circulation blockage, etc. 3. Precautions: When the engine is spraying hot water, do not immediately open the engine hood with your hands; use a towel or other items to open it.

What is an engine mount?

Mounting system serves as the connection between the powertrain and the vehicle body. Its main functions include supporting the powertrain, reducing the impact of powertrain vibrations on the vehicle, and limiting the amount of powertrain shake, playing a significant role in the overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance. Currently, most entry-level vehicles typically use three-point or four-point rubber mounts, while higher-end models may incorporate hydraulic mounts for better performance. Additional Information: Since the engine itself is an inherent source of vibration and is also subjected to various external vibration disturbances, which can lead to component damage and passenger discomfort, the mounting system is designed to minimize the transmission of engine vibrations to the supporting system.

What transmission is used in the Senova X35?

Senova X35 uses two types of transmissions in total, one is a 5-speed manual transmission, and the other is a 4AT transmission. The AT transmission is the most mature and widely used transmission technology, although its structure is relatively complex. Relevant information about transmissions is as follows: 1. Transmission, also known as a gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, and can fixedly or stepwise change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and input shaft. 2. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also including a power take-off mechanism. It can be categorized into stepped, continuously variable, and integrated transmissions, featuring functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and changing gear ratios.
