A dash cam's auto shutdown refers to the function of automatically saving videos and shutting down after the vehicle is parked and turned off. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. After installation, it can capture the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. While driving, the dash cam continuously records footage, simultaneously logging time, speed, and location in the recordings. It can also be used at home as a DV camera to capture life's moments or serve as a home surveillance device, and it can function as a parking monitor when needed. Typically, a dash cam consists of a main unit, speed sensor, data analysis software, and infrared camera.

How to Store Motorcycle Gasoline?

It should be stored in metal containers, avoiding the use of plastic barrels and glass bottles. Always tighten the gasoline can lid to prevent gas evaporation. Below is relevant information about gasoline: 1. Color identification: If the color darkens, it indicates that the gasoline has been stored for too long and has undergone a reaction. 2. Smell test: Gasoline has a faint aromatic odor due to the presence of aromatic acids in it; you can lightly sniff the gasoline to detect its smell. 3. Practical testing: Measure the octane number and density of the gasoline. Theoretically, the higher the octane number, the more resistant it is to burning. Additionally, gasoline density is best between 0.735 and 0.745. Currently, gasoline at gas stations is generally National Standard IV gasoline, with octane numbers typically between 93% and 94%. There is also National Standard V 92-octane gasoline, with octane numbers generally between 92% and 93%, as well as higher-grade 97 and 98-octane gasoline.

Where is the GAC Trumpchi GS4 engine produced?

The Trumpchi GS4 car engine is independently developed by the GAC GS engine platform. The GAC Trumpchi GS4 engine model is 4A15M1. The maximum power is 124kW, the maximum power speed is 5000rpm per minute, and the maximum torque is 265Nm. For the GAC Trumpchi GS4 engine, the following maintenance methods can be used daily: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate; When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Should the Vehicle Maintain Low Speed After Wading?

Whether the vehicle should maintain low speed after wading is introduced as follows: 1. After the vehicle wades through water, it should maintain low speed and intermittently lightly press the brake pedal to restore braking effectiveness. 2. How to operate the brake pedal: Intermittently pressing the brake pedal means pressing it step by step, lightly pressing means applying gentle force to the pedal, and heavy pressing naturally means stomping it down hard. After wading or a tire blowout, intermittently press the brake; if the road friction coefficient is low, you can intermittently and lightly press. Use intermittent light pressing to heat and evaporate moisture from the brake pads to restore braking. Additional information: 1. During wading: When wading, use a low gear to smoothly enter the water, avoid shifting gears, stopping, or making sharp turns during driving, and stop immediately if wheel spin is detected. Drive in low gear and lightly press the brake pedal, then accelerate after the braking effectiveness returns to normal. 2. After wading: Post-wading inspection includes removing any coverings, drying the wet parts, reinstalling the fan belt, and restoring the battery and muffler to their original positions.

What is the rhyme for stepping on the clutch and shifting gears?

The rhyme for stepping on the clutch and shifting gears is: Step on the clutch, shift into gear, honk the horn, turn on the signal, check the mirrors, and release the handbrake. After getting into the car, first fasten the seatbelt, then start the engine, step on the clutch, shift into first gear, and honk the horn. Next, turn on the turn signal, check the left and right rearview mirrors, and release the handbrake to start moving. The details are as follows: Upshifting: Sequence: Shift from a lower gear to a higher gear, accelerate appropriately and follow up with the throttle; step on the clutch, shift out of gear, step on the clutch again, shift into the next gear, and don't forget to accelerate. Key points: Listen to the sound while accelerating, step on the clutch and shift into neutral; step on the clutch again and shift into the next higher gear. Downshifting: Sequence: Shift from a higher gear to a lower gear, judge the speed accurately and don't panic; step on the clutch, shift out of gear, release the throttle, step on the clutch again, shift into gear, and follow up with the throttle. Key points: Release the throttle and shift into neutral, rev the engine according to the speed; while the engine sound is still present, step on the clutch and shift into a lower gear. Shifting gears: Start in first gear. When the tachometer needle reaches around 2000 RPM, shift into second gear. Then, when the tachometer reaches around 2000 RPM again, shift into third gear. Next, check the speedometer. When the speedometer needle points to around 40 km/h, shift into fourth gear. At this point, the car can drive for a while. Then, when the speedometer needle points to around 60 km/h, it's time to shift into the highest gear, fifth gear.
