TPMS on the dashboard refers to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which is a warning light that alerts the driver to abnormal tire pressure. The reasons for the TPMS display are: 1. The tire pressure of all four tires is outside the normal range; 2. The tire is underinflated due to slow leaks or punctures; 3. The tire pressure is too high. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System automatically monitors various tire conditions in real time by recording the tire rotation speed or through electronic sensors installed in the tires, providing effective safety protection while driving. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are: 1. Preventing accidents; 2. Extending the service life of tires; 3. Reducing wear on the suspension system.

Where is the B-pillar of a sedan located?

The B-pillar of a sedan is located between the front and rear seats of the cabin, specifically the vertical bar between the two side doors, extending from the roof to the bottom of the car. From the inside, the seat belt is attached to the B-pillar. The B-pillar, also known as the center pillar, is situated between the front and rear doors and bears the pressure from both the roof and the front and rear doors. Additionally, additional components such as the front seat belts are installed inside the B-pillar. To better achieve force transmission, the B-pillar is often designed to protrude outward. The A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar are all main parts that support the structural strength of the vehicle. The A-pillar is the pillar on the left and right front sides of the driver, connecting the roof and the body of the car. The B-pillar is the pillar between the front and rear doors, and the C-pillar is the pillar connecting the roof and the body at the outermost sides of the rear seats.

What is the engine oil specification for the Ford Kuga 1.5T?

The engine oil specification for the Ford Kuga 1.5T is 5W20. The '5W' indicates that the oil can withstand external temperatures as low as -30°C, while the '20' after the 'W' represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C—the higher the number, the higher the viscosity. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The Ford Kuga 1.5T is a compact SUV introduced by Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum power of 133kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

What Causes Brake Pedal Vibration When Braking in Snowy Weather?

Brake pedal vibration when braking in snowy weather occurs because the ABS is functioning, intervening with wheel braking, which is a normal phenomenon. Here are some braking techniques for snowy conditions: Engine Braking: Compared to using the brakes, engine braking can be more effective. Utilizing the car's engine to control speed can better ensure driving safety. When using engine braking, it's important not to downshift continuously. Downshifting by no more than one gear provides gentle engine braking force. Downshifting too much can also lead to skidding. Focus on Early Anticipation: When driving in snowy conditions, it's best to anticipate early, especially when approaching intersections. Release the accelerator in advance to control speed and avoid sudden braking while driving. By managing speed and reducing the frequency of braking, smooth driving can help prevent skidding and loss of control during the journey.

Which brand of engine oil is best for Santana?

Volkswagen Santana uses Volkswagen's original engine oil with the specification of 5w40, which is synthetic oil. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose international brands such as Shell, Mobil, and Castrol, or domestic brands like Great Wall, Tongyi, and Kunlun. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the smoother the cold start of the car will be. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it can maintain viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high temperatures. The method for changing the engine oil of Volkswagen Santana is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow the oil to flow back to the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and use an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, three-quarters of a barrel of oil is sufficient; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks at the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
