There are several main reasons for a strong exhaust smell inside the car: 1. The car hasn't warmed up yet, and the smell will dissipate after warming up; 2. Incomplete combustion due to improper air-fuel mixture; 3. Carbon buildup or erosion on the spark plugs; 4. Leakage in the ignition wires; 5. Malfunctioning oxygen sensor, insufficient intake system pressure, or inadequate air intake. Methods to address the strong exhaust smell inside the car: 1. First, clean the carbon deposits. If the smell persists after cleaning, the vehicle should be inspected and repaired; 2. Open the car doors to eliminate odors inside the car. Regularly open the windows and doors to facilitate air exchange between the interior and exterior, allowing harmful gases inside the car to evaporate as quickly as possible.

How Often Should Oil Be Changed in a Van?

Oil should be changed when it reaches its service cycle or when the mileage reaches 5,000 kilometers. Generally, the service cycle for mineral oil is six months, for semi-synthetic oil it is nine months, and for full synthetic oil it is one year. The following is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Function of engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Composition of engine oil: Known as the 'blood' of a car, engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, giving it new properties, making them an important part of the lubricating oil.

Is It Harmful to Mix Different Types of Engine Oil?

Mixing different types of engine oil may result in turbidity. Since different brands and grades of engine oil contain different chemical additives, these chemicals may react with each other when mixed, reducing lubrication effectiveness and potentially forming acidic or alkaline compounds that accelerate the corrosion of engine components. Below is relevant information about mixing oil products: 1. Similar Quality: The quality of similar products is generally comparable, or when high-quality oil is mixed with low-quality oil, it can still be used as low-quality oil; 2. Similar Viscosity: Adjust the physical and chemical properties of the oil, such as viscosity, to allow mixing different grades of the same oil product. 3. Additives: For different types of oil, if it is known that neither of the two mixed oils contains additives, or one does not contain additives, or both contain additives but do not react with each other, they can generally be mixed. However, the quality of the superior oil will be reduced after mixing.

What is the fuel consumption of the CHR?

The 2020 and 2018 Toyota CHR models have a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km, suburban fuel consumption of 5.0L/100km, and urban fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km as per the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a major cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance can lead to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a primary reason for high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately upon entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside the car. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.

How to adjust the front and rear position of the seat in Haval H6?

Haval H6 seats can be adjusted forward, backward, and vertically via electric adjustment buttons. The front seats are equipped with electric adjustment. The vertical rectangular button can be toggled forward and backward to adjust the backrest. The rear seats allow for backrest angle adjustment. There is a pull ring on both sides of the rear seats; manually pull the ring and then move the seat to adjust the backrest angle, though the adjustment range is limited. Here are the details: 1. The front seats of Haval H6 feature electric adjustment. The vertical rectangular button adjusts the backrest when toggled forward and backward, while the horizontal button adjusts the seat forward and backward when pushed. The horizontal button can also be toggled up and down to adjust seat height. The circular button controls the internal backrest adjustment, specifically the lumbar support. 2.
