An indication of increased discharge when parking suggests there may be a circuit leakage or the battery life is below 30%. Here is relevant information about increased discharge during parking: 1. First, check if any aftermarket items have been installed in the vehicle, paying special attention to whether the dashcam is connected and continuously operating. Secondly, charge the vehicle's battery. 2. Conduct a preliminary inspection. If you observe that the instrument panel and central information display show "increased discharge" for the battery, press the horn switch and notice the sound is very weak; turn on the lights and notice the brightness is very low. Press the start button, and if the starter operates weakly and the engine fails to start, it can be preliminarily judged that the battery power is too low. Connect a charger to charge the vehicle.

What are the differences between Toyota Prado TX, VX, and GX?

Toyota Prado TX, VX, and GX have the following differences: Different versions: VX can be understood as the high-end or top configuration; GX is actually the basic configuration; TX is the low-end model. The engines are not entirely the same: VX and TX use the Toyota 1GR engine, while GX uses the Toyota 2TR-FE engine. Different displacements: VX and TX have a displacement of 4.0; GX has a displacement of 2.7. The configurations are not entirely the same: For example, taking the 2018 3.5L model as an example, the VX has more features than the TX, such as tire pressure display, front/rear parking radar, cruise control, etc.

Where is the fuel pump relay located in the Fengyun 2?

The fuel pump relay of the Fengyun 2 is located in the instrument fuse box above the clutch pedal inside the driver's compartment. It is the relay on the right side of the top row of fuses. Below is an introduction to the Fengyun 2: 1. The new Fengyun 2 aims to meet the evolving needs of its target consumer group through 52 comprehensive upgrades, including a stylish and dynamic exterior design, a versatile cargo space comparable to warehouse storage, comprehensive safety technologies, and human-centric configurations that provide a comfortable driving experience. 2. Safety has always been a traditional strength of the Fengyun 2, as evidenced by its C-ncap four-star safety rating. The new Fengyun 2 comes standard with ABS and EBD across all models, along with a finely tuned millisecond-level braking system that ensures precise control even in adverse road conditions. 3. The 100-0KM/H braking distance is only 39.8 meters, which is 5 meters shorter than that of the Sail. The Fengyun 2 also features a unique trunk escape function, allowing easy exit when the doors cannot be opened. Standard front fog lights and dual fog lights with dual reverse lights enhance driving safety.

How to Use D/S Gear?

In automatic transmission vehicles, both D gear and S gear are forward gears. Normally, D gear is used for regular driving, while S gear can be used for overtaking and acceleration. S gear provides greater horsepower and stronger power, but it also consumes more fuel. On the other hand, D gear is more economical. Therefore, it is not recommended to use S gear during normal driving, especially at slow speeds. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. D (Driving) is the forward gear. When driving in this gear, the hydraulic control system shifts gears according to the preset program, operating entirely based on the set logic. Simply press the accelerator. 2. S (Sport) is the sport gear. When this gear is engaged, the hydraulic system can only connect to the first and second gears in the forward range, and the automatic transmission can only shift between these two gears, unable to engage higher gears. The upshift is delayed, resulting in naturally stronger power. When shifting from D gear to S gear, there will be a noticeable downshift phenomenon. This forced downshift is to obtain greater output torque, making the car feel more 'powerful'.

What Does the Engine Oil Model Number Mean?

Engine oil model numbers consist of two parts: the classification and the viscosity specification. The number following SAE indicates the viscosity value of the engine oil, while the number following API indicates the quality level of the engine oil. Generally, the engine oil model number represents viscosity and quality. As the "blood" of the engine, engine oil not only lubricates and cools the engine but also provides anti-corrosion and anti-wear protection. Here are some details about engine oil model numbers: 1. The viscosity of lubricating oil is often marked using the SAE grade, where SAE is the abbreviation for the Society of Automotive Engineers. For example, 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This viscosity value indicates that the engine oil is a multi-grade lubricant. The "W" stands for WINTER, the number before the "W" represents the pour point temperature, and the number after the "W" represents the kinematic viscosity of the engine oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity. 2. API engine oils are divided into two categories: those starting with "S" represent oils for gasoline engines, and those starting with "C" represent oils for diesel engines. If both letters are present, it indicates that the engine oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines.

What should be noted when keeping the original license plate after changing cars?

If you want to keep your original license plate number, you must first dispose of your old car before attaching the original license plate number to the new car. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the original owner must meet the following conditions to apply for the use of the original license plate number: 1. First, the owner must have owned the original motor vehicle for more than three years. If the original owner used the vehicle for less than three years, they are not eligible to apply for retaining the original license plate. 2. Second, the application must be submitted within six months after completing the transfer or cancellation registration. In other words, after transferring the vehicle to a new owner or scrapping it, you only have six months to purchase a new car and apply. 3. Lastly, any traffic violations or accidents involving the original motor vehicle must be resolved. If there were any traffic violations or unpaid fines related to the original vehicle, all fines must be paid, and no unresolved accidents should remain before applying to retain the original license plate number. 4. Additionally, the owner must purchase a new car to retain the original license plate number. If the new vehicle purchased by the original owner is a used car, retaining the original license plate number is not permitted.

What is the range of the Song New Energy?

The Song New Energy is a plug-in hybrid vehicle, with a pure electric range of up to 80 kilometers. Here are the relevant details: 1. This car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power of 113 kW, a maximum torque of 240 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,200 rpm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1,750 to 3,500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. This is a dual-motor model, with one motor on the front axle and another on the rear axle. The front motor has a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, while the rear motor also has a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. 3. The car uses a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers high transmission efficiency and fast gear shifting, making it well-suited for use with small-displacement turbocharged engines. 4. The Song New Energy uses a ternary lithium battery, which has higher energy density and lighter weight. Ternary lithium batteries are very suitable for use in family cars. The cathode of a ternary lithium battery is made from ternary materials, with some using nickel, cobalt, and aluminum, while others use nickel, cobalt, and manganese.
