Vehicle source ID refers to vehicles that have undergone manufacturer inspections and come with quality assurance, such as being relatively new, free from accidents, not stolen, not flood-damaged, or illegally assembled. The ID serves as a certification from the manufacturer after production, similar to how a person has an ID card from birth, making it easier to identify vehicle information. Some certified vehicle dealers may also offer differentiated and customer-friendly services, such as vehicle returns or exchanges within specified periods. Additional information: 1. SN code stands for Serial-Number, which is a product serial number introduced to verify the "legal identity" of a product. 2. It is used to protect users' rights to genuine products and ensure access to legitimate services. 3. Each genuine product corresponds to only one unique product serial number. 4. The SN code can be found on the vehicle frame. Its primary purpose is to prevent software piracy, as users must know the serial number to use the software.

The vehicle ID is a unique number assigned to each car when browsing online, just like a car's ID card. On platforms like Guazi or Autohome, you can see it by clicking into the vehicle details page. It helps buyers quickly identify which seller the car belongs to, where it came from, and the condition report is also attached there. I always find this feature very convenient—it prevents wasting time repeatedly viewing the same car. You can also click the ID to check historical transaction records, owner contact details, and more. If any issues arise, the platform's after-sales service becomes more accessible. Before buying, I always search for reviews using the ID to avoid being scammed into purchasing a damaged car. Nowadays, the website design is quite user-friendly; IDs usually mix numbers and letters, making them easy to remember but shouldn’t be shared carelessly to prevent malicious tampering. Overall, it’s a small tool platforms use to protect both sides of the transaction.

What is the battery life of the BYD Yuan EV360 in kilometers?

BYD Yuan's battery range is 305 kilometers under comprehensive driving conditions, with a maximum of 360 kilometers under constant speed. The battery life of the BYD Yuan EV360 generally varies between 1 to 8 years. With normal vehicle generator charging and no battery leakage, it can last more than 3 years without issues. Here is some related information about BYD batteries: Battery Introduction: BYD uses lithium manganese cobalt oxide batteries, which have a high number of charge-discharge cycles and offer better safety compared to other brands' nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries. Unlike electric bicycles with lead-acid batteries that require daily charging, BYD's batteries degrade much more slowly, so there's no need to worry about battery issues. Battery Replacement: Even if problems occur, the after-sales service directly replaces the entire battery pack assembly. Currently, only the manufacturer has mastered the technology for battery cell testing and matching. The most critical component of the battery pack is the cell. The intelligent temperature-controlled cooling system has a lifespan consistent with the vehicle, and the IP67-rated sealed housing will not be damaged without collision.

What is the reason for the HAVAL H6 hill descent control failure?

HAVAL H6 hill descent control failure is caused by faults in the PT-CAN related circuits or a node, and virtual connections in the gateway internal circuits leading to low network voltage. The specific details are as follows: Faults in the PT-CAN related circuits or a node: Using a fault detector, the electronic parking brake control module (EPB) stored one current fault code: U111281 ESP CAN signal failure. The body stability control module (ESP) also stored one current fault code: U100104 CAN passive error. The engine control module (ECM) stored two historical fault codes: U01018 lost communication with TCU and U012687 lost communication with SAS; no other modules stored fault codes. Analyzing the fault codes, it is inferred that there is a fault in the PT-CAN related circuits or a node. Virtual connections in the gateway internal circuits leading to low network voltage: When HDC is activated and the vehicle enters a steep slope, engine braking itself can provide a considerable degree of deceleration effect without the risk of wheel lock-up. When the slope is too steep and engine braking is insufficient to maintain the speed limit, HDC can use the ABS system to reduce the increasing speed, maintaining a stable and safe downhill speed. If the driver needs to steer to avoid obstacles during the downhill process, the HDC system will detect this and further reduce the speed limit to 6.4km/h to ensure full control of the vehicle.

What to Do If a Little Antifreeze Is Mixed In

If a little antifreeze is mixed in, you need to completely drain the antifreeze from the radiator, rinse it with purified water, and then refill it with new antifreeze. You must use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze may have different production formulas. If mixed, various additives may undergo chemical reactions, causing the additives to become ineffective. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze comes in several specifications with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose one that is at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to check if antifreeze is low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high engine temperatures. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add antifreeze promptly. Check the water level markings on the antifreeze bottle. The antifreeze level should normally be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if antifreeze is low, check the markings. If the antifreeze is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage.

Where are Volkswagen's engines produced?

All engines used in domestically produced Volkswagen vehicles are manufactured locally. Volkswagen has engine assembly plants in both Dalian and Shanghai, China. In comparison, Volkswagen models enjoy relatively good sales and reputation in China. Volkswagen has several renowned engine series, namely the EA211 and EA888 series. Cars equipped with the EA211 series engines come in various displacement models, some with naturally aspirated engines and others with turbocharged ones. The commonly used EA211 engines in domestically produced Volkswagen vehicles include the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated, 1.2-liter turbocharged, and 1.4-liter turbocharged variants. The EA888 series engines are highly famous, and Volkswagen's EA888 engine has already been updated to its third generation. The third-generation EA888 engine has discontinued the 1.8T models, with all third-generation EA888 engines upgraded to 2.0T models, though there are distinctions between low-power and high-power variants. Volkswagen's R-series performance cars also utilize the EA888 engine. The third-generation EA888 engine features an aluminum cylinder head and an iron cylinder block. The iron cylinder block not only withstands higher temperatures but also endures greater pressure, resulting in improved durability compared to previous series and significantly enhanced modification potential. Both the Audi S3 and Golf R use the third-generation EA888 engine, as do the domestically produced Magotan and Passat. Volkswagen also has a 3.0-liter V6 engine with the code name EA837, though this engine is not very common.

What is the recommended tire pressure for vehicles in summer?

In summer, the normal tire pressure for cars is between 2.3 and 2.5. If the car is fully loaded with 5 passengers, adjusting the tire pressure to around 2.5 is more suitable; if there are generally two people, a tire pressure of 2.3 is normal. Hazards of overinflated tires: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire life; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, creating unsafe driving conditions; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

What is the highway fuel consumption of the Camry?

The combined fuel consumption of the Camry is 4.1-6.0L/100km. Currently, there are 10 models of the Camry on sale. The combined fuel consumption of the Elite version is 5.5L/100km. The Luxury version has a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km. The Sport version's combined fuel consumption is 5.8L/100km. The Luxury, Sport, and Flagship versions have a combined fuel consumption of 6L/100km. The Hybrid Sport, Hybrid Luxury, Hybrid Flagship, and Hybrid Leading versions have a combined fuel consumption of 4.1L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 4.9-8.8L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement, as larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to burn, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
