The disadvantages of keeping the vehicle running for a long time without turning it off: 1. The engine is in an idle state, and the throttle opening is very small, which will cause the air content in the combustible mixture to be very low, leading to incomplete combustion of the engine and causing carbon deposits; 2. If the vehicle is parked for a long time without turning off the engine, the incomplete combustion of the combustible mixture will increase the burden on the three-way catalytic converter and damage it; 3. Incomplete combustion affects the excessive pollutants in the exhaust gas, harming the environment. Carbon deposits in the engine are very harmful to the engine. If carbon deposits occur in the intake tract, it will affect the airflow speed, increase the intake resistance, and affect the engine's air intake. Some direct-injection engines are also prone to carbon deposits on the piston top. Carbon deposits on the piston top will increase the engine's compression ratio, and the increased compression ratio will raise the likelihood of knocking, which can severely damage the engine.

Is a tire pressure of 215 normal for the Avalon?

An Avalon tire pressure of 215 is normal. In actual vehicle usage, it needs to be determined based on the season and usage environment. Owners can refer to the vehicle's user manual and the label next to the door, which will detail the manufacturer's recommended values. The tire pressure can be flexibly adjusted according to seasonal temperature variations: it can be slightly lowered when driving in summer and slightly increased in winter when temperatures are lower. When adjusting tire pressure, it's essential to keep it within the recommended range. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the tire pressure for different tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "beep," release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clearing the previous data. Finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete.

What is the reason for the constant clicking noise and failure to start when igniting the Langdong?

The reason for the constant clicking noise and failure to start when igniting the Langdong is caused by rust or leakage of the battery and the dampness of the engine spark plug on rainy days. Battery depletion: The characteristic manifestation is that the starter begins to turn but the speed is insufficient, i.e., it lacks power, and later the starter only makes a clicking noise without turning. Low temperatures in winter and forgetting to turn off individual electrical equipment can result in the vehicle failing to start, especially with long-term short-distance low-speed use in winter, causing the battery voltage to fall below the rated value, making starting and normal operation impossible. If this occurs, please call the service station for rescue, or find another vehicle to jump-start, or temporarily start the engine, after which it is essential to go to the service station to recharge the battery. Gasoline flow obstruction: The characteristic manifestation is the absence of oil pressure in the engine fuel supply line. This situation often occurs on particularly cold mornings and is caused by long-term dirt in the fuel line. When the temperature is extremely low, water and debris mix, blocking the fuel line, resulting in failure to start.

What is the fast charging power of a car?

During slow charging, the car's power is 7KW, while during fast charging, the car's power is 30KW. Charging piles are divided into two main categories: AC piles and DC piles. Generally, AC piles have a power of 7KW and use a 220V single-phase power source. DC piles come in various power levels, including 30KW, 60KW, 100KW, 150KW, and 200KW. The actual charging process is determined by the matching results between the electric vehicle's battery parameters and the charging pile, and it varies with the charging status. Due to the limited range of low-speed electric four-wheelers, which cannot fully meet the daily travel needs of the general public, if you want to increase their range, you can install a range extender. This will extend their range, expand their operational scope, and meet daily travel needs, allowing for seamless round trips without the worry of running out of power midway. It is not recommended to start the range extender when the battery is fully charged. Generally, it is best to start it when the battery level is between 30% and 40%. Starting it at full charge does not provide any significant benefits. For environmental friendliness, it is advisable to start the range extender only when necessary, as battery pollution is more severe than exhaust pollution. Protecting the battery means protecting the environment. It is not recommended to use the range extender when the battery is completely depleted, as the range extender starts electrically, and it may fail to ignite if the battery has no power at all.
