VSC on a car refers to the Vehicle Stability Control system. A VSC malfunction indicates that the anti-skid and traction control systems are faulty, which can lead to skidding on extreme road conditions such as icy surfaces. The steps to address a VSC system malfunction are: 1. Ensure the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake pedal is released; 2. Start the engine; 3. Press the parking brake lightly and tap the brake pedal twice; 4. Release the parking brake pedal; 5. If the VSC light comes on, it means the VSC system is turned off. The VSC system works by detecting whether the wheels are about to lock up and individually adjusting the braking force on each wheel. It uses sensors and computational control to continuously monitor and process signals from the steering system, wheels, and vehicle body sensors to determine if the vehicle is skidding during a turn.

How long before a Wrangler diesel vehicle is scrapped?

Wrangler diesel vehicles are only mandatorily scrapped after 30 years or 600,000 kilometers. Vehicle scrappage regulations: The regulations on the service life of non-commercial passenger cars have been abolished, while the mileage limit for private cars to be scrapped is set at 600,000 kilometers. Vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, inspected annually from 6 to 15 years, and inspected twice a year after 15 years. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, it can continue to be driven on the road. Taxis and ride-hailing vehicles are mandatorily scrapped after 8 years. Diesel vehicle maintenance: Choose the appropriate fuel. The quality of diesel is crucial for the healthy operation of the engine. If the diesel contains water or impurities, it can damage the high-pressure diesel distribution pump. Always choose reputable gas stations; control the speed when starting the vehicle. Diesel engine vehicles do not require stepping on the accelerator pedal when starting; control the starting speed and RPM. When the engine is running at high speed, do not shut it off immediately. Instead, let it idle for two to three minutes until the engine temperature drops before turning it off; properly use the engine. Before driving, ensure that all lubrication points, such as the bearing bushes, are properly lubricated. After starting, wait until the water temperature reaches 40-50 degrees Celsius before putting the vehicle into operation. Avoid prolonged overloading or low-speed operation.

Can Li Auto vehicles be fueled with gasoline?

Li Auto vehicles can be fueled. The Li ONE can address range anxiety and charging concerns of electric vehicles through three energy replenishment methods: fast charging, slow charging, and gasoline-powered electricity generation. Li Auto's Extended-Range Intelligent Electric Vehicle: Among the numerous new automakers, Li Auto stands out as a unique presence. Although the Li ONE is also a new energy vehicle, it is not a pure electric new energy vehicle but rather an "extended-range intelligent electric vehicle" based on electric drive. Understanding Li Auto's Extended-Range Technology: In simple terms, an "extended-range" vehicle is a new energy vehicle that can be fueled with gasoline. It might sound unusual, but the Li ONE is indeed such a model. Its 1.2T range extender is solely used for generating electricity/charging, while the vehicle itself is entirely driven by an electric motor.

Does the Li ONE engine provide power?

Li ONE engine provides power. The Li ONE is equipped with a 1.2T three-cylinder gasoline engine. However, this engine does not directly drive the vehicle but powers it through electric motors. Supply of Li ONE engine: The Li ONE DAM12TD range-extender engine is supplied by Dongan Power Company. It is a three-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1.2T, a maximum power of 96kW, and a maximum of 131 horsepower. This is Dongan Power's first engine for new energy vehicles. Dongan Power is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Changan Automobile, a listed company on the A-share market, mainly producing engines, transmissions, and components. Usage of Li ONE engine: The Li ONE engine is used as a range extender for power generation and does not directly drive the vehicle. The electric four-wheel-drive system consists of front and rear dual motors. The front drive motor is provided by United Electronics, the rear drive motor by BorgWarner, the electric drive control system by Inovance Technology, and the power battery by CATL.

What is the range of the Li Auto electric vehicle?

Li ONE can achieve a comprehensive range of over 800 kilometers under full fuel and full electricity conditions, with an actual range of approximately 700-750 kilometers. Without the range extender engaged: The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology tested a pure electric range of 180 kilometers, with an actual range of 160 kilometers. In winter (10°C), the range is around 120 kilometers. According to official data, in range-extender mode, the Li ONE's urban fuel consumption will be below 5L/100km, and highway fuel consumption will be below 10L/100km. Owner-tested fuel consumption is around 7.5L/100km. The Li ONE is equipped with a 45L fuel tank and uses 95-octane gasoline. Due to higher highway fuel consumption, the highway range is only about 650 kilometers. Li Auto addresses range anxiety: Li Auto's first model, the Li ONE, has been launched. The vehicle adopts a relatively complex range-extender technical solution, combining a large-capacity battery pack with a high-power range-extender power generation system to address the range anxiety of current pure electric vehicles.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Mengshi?

According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Mengshi is 750mm. Common tire specifications are 37/12.5R16.5, with a vehicle height of 1912mm, a total mass of 3480kg, and it is a 5-door, 4-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 300mm, while SUVs can handle deeper water but should ideally not exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 has 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 700mm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 900mm, the Jeep Compass has 800mm, and the Highlander has 455mm. SUVs generally have higher wading depths than sedans. Generally, when a vehicle is wading through water, depending on the depth and the vehicle's specifications, the owner should take different measures as follows: If the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside can expel the water. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. If the wading depth reaches the height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly located at the bottom, which could lead to circuit failure, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting. If the wading depth reaches the height of the air intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such water could cause the engine to stall immediately, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.
