The symptoms of a broken rear shock absorber include: when driving on bumpy roads, the rear wheels may produce excessive bouncing and abnormal noises when passing over uneven surfaces. The functions of a shock absorber are: 1. To buffer the movement of the vehicle's center of gravity and conserve energy; 2. To reduce wind resistance and minimize the impact of changes in the vehicle's center of gravity on the tires. The principle of a shock absorber is: when relative motion occurs between the frame and the axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through different orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, as well as the internal friction between oil molecules, creates resistance to vibration, converting the vehicle's vibration energy into heat energy of the oil, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the atmosphere.

How to Adjust the Time on the Bora Dashboard?

Method to adjust the time on the Bora dashboard: The button on the left side of the dashboard adjusts the hours; the button on the right side adjusts the minutes. By using both buttons together, you can set the time. Below is an introduction to the dashboard: 1. Generally, conventional car dashboards include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. 2. In modern cars, the dashboard also requires a voltage regulator, specifically designed to stabilize the power supply voltage for the dashboard, suppressing fluctuations to ensure the accuracy of the car dashboard. 3. Additionally, most dashboard displays rely on sensors. The sensing device changes its resistance value based on the monitored object's state, which is then displayed on the dashboard. The most prominent gauge on the dashboard is the speedometer, which indicates the car's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour). The speedometer actually consists of two gauges: one is the speed gauge, and the other is the odometer.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring system located on the Baojun 730?

Baojun 730's tire pressure can be viewed directly on the dashboard. Only the Luxury and Premium trim levels of the Baojun 730 are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which is a direct-type system that displays tire pressure data on the dashboard without requiring any manual operation. The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device. It can promptly alert the driver when there are dangerous signs in the tires, prompting them to take appropriate measures, thereby preventing serious accidents. With a tire pressure monitoring system, we can ensure that the tires always operate within the specified pressure and temperature ranges, reducing tire damage and extending their service life. Data shows that driving with insufficient tire pressure—when the pressure drops 10% below the normal value—reduces tire life by 15%. When the tire pressure is too low, it increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, thereby increasing friction resistance. If the tire pressure is 30% below the standard value, fuel consumption will rise by 10%. When the tire pressure is excessively high, it reduces the tire's own shock absorption effect, increasing the burden on the vehicle's suspension system. Prolonged use under such conditions can cause significant damage to the engine chassis and suspension system. Additionally, uneven tire pressure can easily lead to braking deviation, further increasing wear on the suspension system.

How to Refill Windshield Washer Fluid in a Volkswagen Golf?

Volkswagen Golf windshield washer fluid refill tutorial: 1. Use the wiper operation knob to first spray out the old washer fluid. 2. When the spray nozzles stop spraying, open the washer fluid filler port and add a small amount of new washer fluid solution. 3. Then activate the wiper operation knob to flush out any remaining old washer fluid. 4. When no more fluid sprays from the nozzles, add approximately 4L of washer fluid to complete the refill. Seasonal adjustment methods for washer fluid preparation: 1. In summer when there's more dust, increase the amount of detergent added, but avoid excessive quantities as too many bubbles may hinder proper cleaning. 2. In winter when temperatures are low, the freezing point can be lowered by adding an appropriate amount of alcohol. A mixture of 50-60% water and 40-50% alcohol can lower the freezing point to -25°C, meeting requirements for most regions across the country.
