ectpwr light indicates that the vehicle's power mode is activated. Here is extended information about the ectpwr light: Function of the ectpwr light: This mode delays upshifting to enhance power output and increase the vehicle's speed. Turning the ectpwr light on/off: Drivers can check for an ectpwr button near the transmission gear lever. Pressing this button will turn off the ectpwr light. To reactivate this mode, simply press the button again. Effects of enabling ectpwr mode: ectpwr is equivalent to the vehicle's sport mode. Pressing this button alters the engine's operation mode, and the transmission's shift logic will also change accordingly. In this mode, the vehicle will have stronger power, and the throttle pedal will be more responsive. However, prolonged use of this mode will increase fuel consumption and accelerate engine wear.

What are the precautions for replacing brake fluid?

Precautions for replacing brake fluid include: 1. Avoid introducing air into the brake fluid. Changing brake fluid requires careful coordination between two people to prevent accidental air ingress. One person should drain the fluid while observing, and the other should repeatedly press the brake pedal. New fluid must be replenished promptly and continuously. 2. Tighten the drain bolt to prevent leaks. Brake fluid is corrosive and can affect other car components. 3. Avoid introducing impurities and dust into the brake fluid. Brake fluid, also known as brake hydraulic fluid or braking liquid, is made from refined diesel distillates with thickeners and antioxidants. There are three types: mineral oil brake fluid, alcohol-based brake fluid, and synthetic brake fluid.

Is it necessary to use 95-octane gasoline for new cars?

During the break-in period of a new car, you can fill up with 95-octane gasoline. Using higher-octane gasoline during the break-in period can be beneficial because 95-octane gasoline has a higher octane rating and better combustion properties, which can effectively promote more complete combustion inside the engine, enhance engine performance, and reduce carbon deposits. Here are some related details: 1. 95-octane gasoline: 95-octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. High-compression engines should use high-octane gasoline. If low-octane gasoline is used in a high-compression engine, it can cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving power. Of course, high-compression engines can also use lower-octane gasoline, but you should not blindly choose gasoline based on the compression ratio. Instead, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for fueling. 2. Anti-knock properties: Anti-knock properties refer to the ability of gasoline to resist knocking when burned in the engine. It is a primary indicator of gasoline combustion performance. Knocking is caused by abnormal combustion of gasoline in the engine. The octane number is a measure of fuel's resistance to knocking—the higher the octane number, the stronger the anti-knock properties.
