When the TC light on the dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the traction control system is active. During vehicle acceleration, if the system detects an excessive speed difference between the driving wheels and non-driving wheels, the computer will immediately determine that the driving force is too high and send a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the driving wheels. Another common indicator is the VSC light, which stands for Vehicle Stability Control system. This system significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. In emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the vehicle can quickly detect these conditions and take appropriate braking measures, such as individually controlling each tire while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability.

What is the model of Nissan's variable compression ratio engine?

Nissan's variable compression ratio engine model is VC-Turbo, which is a 2.0L 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the expanded gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Nissan models include: Bluebird, Sylphy, Teana, Murano, X-Trail, Qashqai, etc. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and trunk capacity 510L.

What is the method for lubricating a noisy clutch?

The method for lubricating a noisy clutch is to apply grease to the springs and areas where friction occurs. Reasons for clutch noise: 1. Long-term use leading to wear and damage of the release bearing; 2. Burned or cracked friction plates, often in an engaged state, causing noise due to wobbling during operation; 3. Loose pressure plate or diaphragm spring, resulting in impact vibration during operation; 4. Poor condition of the clutch operating mechanism, causing scraping or collision. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission.

Under what circumstances do tires need to be replaced?

Tires need to be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. Severe tire wear, aging with visible cracks; 2. After frequent tire repairs; 3. Tire bulging or deformation; 4. Deformation or breakage of the internal metal coils in the tire; 5. Punctures in the tire sidewall. Precautions for tire replacement include: 1. Choose tires of the same specifications; 2. Replace the valve stem simultaneously; 3. Pay attention to installation direction and inflation; 4. Check tire pressure; 5. Perform a four-wheel alignment after tire replacement; 6. When removing the tire, slightly loosen the fixing screws before using a jack to partially lift the vehicle; 7. Choose tires with guaranteed quality. The tire replacement process is as follows: 1. Loosen the screws; 2. Use a jack to lift the vehicle; 3. Remove the screws fixing the wheel (counterclockwise to loosen, clockwise to tighten); 4. Remove the tire; 5. Install the new wheel.

What is the general tire pressure in summer?

In summer, a tire pressure of 2.3 bar is most suitable. Due to the high temperatures in summer, the tire pressure should be 0.1-0.2 bar lower than the standard tire pressure recommended by the car manufacturer. Below is additional information on the effects of excessive tire pressure: 1. Excessive tire pressure reduces the adhesion between the tire and the ground, leading to decreased braking performance and a shortened tire lifespan. 2. Excessive tire pressure makes the tire abnormally fragile, significantly reducing its resistance to punctures. Sharp objects like glass or nails can easily penetrate the tire, causing a blowout. 3. Excessive tire pressure accelerates localized wear on the central tread pattern, causing the car to vibrate and potentially affecting the lifespan of other components over time. Below is additional information on the effects of insufficient tire pressure: 1. Insufficient tire pressure causes the tire to flatten, increasing the friction area with the ground, which leads to higher fuel consumption. It also makes the steering wheel heavier and increases the likelihood of the car pulling to one side. 2. Insufficient tire pressure generates excessive heat during driving, reducing the functionality of the tire cords and rubber, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the bead area. 3. Insufficient tire pressure prevents the tire from reaching its standard strength. Due to increased friction with the ground, the tire is more prone to blowouts during high-speed driving.
