PCV is the abbreviation of the three English words Positive-Crankcase-Ventilation, which means the positive crankcase ventilation system in Chinese. Here is relevant information: Composition: The PCV valve is an important component in the positive crankcase ventilation system, generally consisting of a valve body, valve, valve cover, and spring, and cannot be disassembled. Function: The main function is to guide the gas in the crankcase (the mixture gas from the combustion chamber entering the crankcase and the oil vapor) into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, which avoids phenomena such as emission deterioration. It prevents oil vapor from directly entering the atmosphere and also prevents oil deterioration.

Why Does Water Drip Under the Car?

Reasons for water dripping under the car: 1. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car; 2. Drainage from the drainage holes designed to prevent water accumulation on the body; 3. Drainage from the car's air conditioning system. The drainage point of the car's air conditioning system is located slightly to the right of the middle front of the car. Therefore, if you turn off the car and let it sit for a while after driving in the summer, you will notice water dripping from the chassis slightly to the right of the middle front. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car usually occurs in winter. When gasoline is injected into the cylinder and mixed with air, it fully combusts in the combustion chamber, primarily producing carbon dioxide and water. At high temperatures, the water is discharged into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.

How Often Should Hydrogen-Oxygen Carbon Cleaning Be Performed?

Hydrogen-oxygen carbon cleaning should be performed every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. It primarily involves a non-disassembly cleaning of the intake system, meaning that without dismantling the engine, specialized equipment and methods are used to remove carbon deposits from areas prone to buildup, such as the intake tract, valves, and fuel system. There are several methods for engine carbon cleaning: 1. Using a carburetor cleaner on the throttle body can remove a small amount of internal engine carbon deposits; 2. Cleaning with water-based foam solutions. A hydrogen-oxygen carbon cleaning machine uses water as the raw material, which is then electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen serves as the fuel, while the oxygen aids combustion. This mixture is sent into the car's engine through the air intake, where it mixes with gasoline and air for combustion.

How to Keep the X-Trail's Panoramic View Always On?

To activate the X-Trail's panoramic system function and keep it on continuously, it ensures normal driving operations at all times, providing safety for maneuvers like reversing. Below is an introduction to the X-Trail's panoramic system: 1. The X-Trail utilizes a 360-degree panoramic parking assist system, delivering clearer images with superior night vision capabilities. 2. Videos recorded by the panoramic system can be displayed in real-time via DVD players or navigation devices, supporting four-channel synchronous recording and storage playback. 3. The 360-degree panoramic parking assist system automatically switches scenes based on the vehicle's driving status. For example, when reversing, it switches to the rear camera view for easier control. Powered by the car battery, it operates with low power consumption. In winter, when static electricity may occur inside the vehicle, the 360-degree panoramic parking assist system helps prevent electrostatic hazards.

Can a New Car Be Driven on the Highway Immediately After Purchase?

New cars can be driven on the highway immediately after purchase, but the speed should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, as the vehicle requires a certain running-in period, with the first 1,000 kilometers being particularly crucial. The running-in period for a new car refers to the initial driving phase after purchase or major repairs, typically lasting 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. This is the essential mileage required to ensure that the components fully contact, friction, adapt, and settle. During the running-in period, the vehicle's load should be minimized as much as possible. The greater the load, the higher the driving resistance, which increases the demand on the engine's driving force and consequently the engine's load. Throughout the running-in period, pay close attention to the operating conditions of various vehicle components, such as water temperature and oil pressure. Drive at a steady speed to cultivate good driving habits.
