Automobile Chassis: The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle. It supports and installs the engine and its components, forming the overall shape of the vehicle, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal operation. Functions of the Automobile Chassis: The chassis supports and installs the engine and its components, forming the overall shape of the vehicle. It receives the engine's power to generate motion, ensuring normal operation. Additionally, a well-maintained chassis can safeguard the driver's life. How to Avoid Dragging the Chassis: Develop good driving habits; drive with one side of the wheels along the central bulge to avoid scraping the chassis; approach the top (or bottom) of a slope diagonally, allowing one front wheel (left or right) to reach the top (or bottom) first to prevent dragging; maintain a long-distance view while driving, watch for obstacles ahead, and make evasive actions in advance.

Where is the car's air conditioning filter located?

The car's air conditioning filter is located behind the glove box, and in a few models, it is installed under the windshield on the passenger side. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to replace the car air conditioning filter every 10,000 kilometers or about one year. If the vehicle is frequently driven in areas with severe air pollution, or if the owner pays more attention to the hygiene of the air conditioning and their own health, it is recommended to replace it every six months. The function of the air conditioning filter is to filter impurities such as dust particles in the air, providing clean air for the car's air conditioning system. It can improve air cleanliness, provide a good air environment for passengers in the car, and protect the health of the occupants.

What is the reason for the heater not being hot after adding antifreeze?

It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for maintenance and inspection.

What is the correct way to stop at a red light with an automatic transmission?

When encountering a red light with an automatic transmission, the correct stopping methods are to shift into neutral and engage the handbrake, or to remain in D gear while applying the brakes. The neutral gear and handbrake method is suitable for situations where the light has just turned red or when there is a long remaining duration for the red light. Staying in D gear and applying the brakes is appropriate when the red light has about ten seconds left or during stop-and-go traffic, allowing for a prompt start without frequent gear changes. Automatic transmission vehicles automatically select the appropriate gear based on the car's speed and traffic conditions, adjusting the transmission according to the degree of accelerator pedal pressure and speed changes. The driver only needs to control the speed using the accelerator pedal.
