The reason for low low pressure and high high pressure in the air conditioning system is poor circulation in the system, blockage in the dryer filter; kinks in the connecting pipes; the shut-off valve not being fully open; or the four-way valve not switching properly. Below are specific details about car air conditioning pressure: 1. Under normal conditions: When the compressor operates at 1500-2000 rpm, the high pressure is around 1.5-2.0 MPa, while the low pressure is around 0.15-0.35 MPa. 2. High ambient temperature around the vehicle: The high pressure may reach around 2.5-2.8 MPa, but it generally does not exceed 3.1 MPa, otherwise it will trigger pressure protection. To ensure the safe operation of the air conditioning compressor, most vehicle air conditioning systems are equipped with a pressure protection switch. When the air conditioning system pressure is too high or too low, the pressure switch will be triggered, stopping the air conditioning compressor.

What does T mean in cars?

Car with T is the abbreviation of the word TURBO, meaning turbocharging, indicating that the car uses a turbocharged engine. The following is an introduction to the related content: Car engines: They are mainly divided into two types, one is a naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a turbocharged engine. The displacement of a naturally aspirated engine ends with L, which stands for liters, while the displacement of a turbocharged engine ends with T, representing that the car adopts turbocharging technology. System classification: According to the utilization of exhaust energy in the turbo, it can be divided into the following two systems: one is a constant-pressure turbocharging system, and the other is a pulse turbocharging system.

What is the principle of CVT?

CVT works by using a hydraulic torque converter to generate varying levels of torque, transmitting force to achieve stepless speed variation. Here are the details: Advantages of CVT: It can maintain the engine speed and vehicle speed at an optimal transmission ratio, resulting in higher fuel efficiency. Therefore, vehicles equipped with CVT have better fuel economy. Gear shifts are exceptionally smooth, with no gear jumping during shifts or the occasional jerking sensation found in dual-clutch transmissions, making daily driving comfortable. Disadvantages of CVT: Due to structural limitations, it cannot handle high torque output. Since it uses a steel belt to transmit power, improper driving may cause the transmission to slip.

What tires are suitable for the Changan CS75?

Changan CS75 performs well with Yokohama tires, which are also the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires. Below are the representations of tire specifications and the functions of tires: Representation of tire specifications: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter represents the rim diameter in inches. For example, 165/70/R14 indicates a radial tire with a width of 165 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. The tire model can generally be found on the tire sidewall. Functions of tires: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed for rolling contact with the ground on various vehicles or machinery. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance.

What to Do If You Keep Mistaking the Accelerator for the Brake?

When not pressing the accelerator, keep your foot on the brake to develop good driving habits. Here are some tips to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: Place your right foot on the brake when not pressing the accelerator: While driving, make it a habit to place your right foot on the brake when you're not pressing the accelerator. This helps prevent confusing the accelerator with the brake. If you rest your right foot on the floor when not accelerating, it may feel more relaxed, but in an emergency, you might struggle to locate or accurately press the brake, leading to mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead. Develop good driving habits: For novice drivers, the main reason for mistaking the accelerator for the brake is insufficient familiarity with the vehicle or the lack of established good driving habits. Staying calm in unexpected situations is also crucial for safe driving.

Which Gear is the Driving Gear in an Automatic Transmission Car?

In an automatic transmission car, the driving gear is the D (Drive) gear. The following is an introduction to the gears in an automatic transmission car: P Gear: Parking gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into P gear. R Gear: Reverse gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the brake pedal and the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into R gear. After releasing the brake pedal, slowly press the accelerator to move the vehicle backward. N Gear: Neutral gear. You can directly shift from R or D gear into N gear. When shifting out of N gear, you need to press the brake pedal. D Gear: Drive gear. You can directly shift from N gear into D gear. This gear is generally used when the vehicle is moving forward, and the system will automatically shift gears based on engine load and speed. S Gear: The S gear in an automatic transmission stands for Sport gear, which is a mode that emphasizes power output. Due to its strong power, the S gear is usually used when overtaking or climbing a slope. After completing the action, it is switched back to the more economical D gear. In terms of fuel consumption, the S gear mode consumes more fuel than the normal mode because of the increased fuel injection at high RPMs.
