Gasoline additives do not have any harms. The functions of gasoline additives: Gasoline additives, abbreviated as fuel additives, are designed to compensate for the inherent quality issues of fuel and the limitations in automotive mechanical manufacturing. They help gasoline engines overcome cold start effects and crevice effects, and remove carbon deposits from intake valves and fuel injectors. Types of gasoline additives: Fuel additives are categorized into four types: cleaning, maintenance, octane number adjusting, and comprehensive. Cleaning additives are used to prevent issues such as poor fuel supply, engine shaking, unstable idle speed, increased fuel consumption, and poor acceleration.

Where is the mirror heating for Volkswagen Tayron?

Volkswagen Tayron's mirror heating is located on the door armrest. Mirror heating symbol: The mirror heating symbol is a curved upward arrow paired with a rectangular pattern. The position of the mirror heating switch varies among different car models, but the symbols are generally similar. How mirror heating works: An electric heating element (heating film) is installed inside the mirror lenses on both sides.

What does the yellow engine oil light mean?

The yellow engine oil light indicates that the engine oil level is too low. Here is more information about the yellow engine oil light: 1. The yellow engine oil light means the oil level is insufficient. If the vehicle has not reached its maintenance interval, it reminds the owner to add engine oil promptly. Insufficient engine oil usually affects the overall lubrication of the engine, especially for components lubricated by crankshaft splash, which may experience increased wear or even damage. 2. If the yellow engine oil light is on but the oil level is not low, it may be due to a faulty oil pressure sensor. The owner can visit a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection to identify and resolve the issue.

Under normal conditions, a car fridge consumes 35-50W, which is enough for 6-8 hours of use. 3. Take it to a place with a 220V AC power source and prepare a power adapter; the car fridge can function normally with 220V power support.

How to resolve the EPC light on the car dashboard?

When the EPC light appears on the car dashboard, it indicates an issue with the engine's power control management system. Generally, there are two possible reasons for the EPC light to illuminate. One is a dirty throttle body, which should be cleaned. The other possibility is malfunctioning brake lights, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. Additionally, poor fuel quality can also trigger the EPC warning light. Solutions for the EPC light issue are as follows: 1. Troubleshoot the intake system, use compliant fuel, and clean the throttle body; 2. Remove carbon deposits from relevant components; 3. Reflash ECU-related data; 4. Other faults may also cause this issue, so specific diagnosis should be based on reading fault codes.

When was China V implemented?

National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards, also known as "China V Standards," were implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. The emission control level of China V Standards is equivalent to the European Union's Fifth Stage Emission Standards currently in effect. Relevant information about "China V Standards" is as follows: 1. The European Union has been implementing these standards since 2009, which impose stricter limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles. 2. From China I to China IV, each upgrade in standards reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. 3. Cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and some cities in Guangdong have already begun implementing China V Standards. 4. Starting from April 1, 2016, all imported, sold, and registered light-duty gasoline vehicles, light-duty diesel passenger vehicles, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (for public transport, sanitation, and postal use only) in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei must comply with the "China V" emission standards.
