In a car, 'zone' refers to the air conditioning temperature zoning control. Here is a detailed introduction to the car's zone function: 1. Function: Designed for passengers with different temperature needs, it allows setting different air conditioning temperatures and airflow levels for different areas inside the car. Temperature zoning control is divided into two-zone and multi-zone. Two-zone refers to temperature control for the driver and front passenger sides. Multi-zone adds temperature control for rear passengers. 2. Control Principle: The principle involves adding air conditioning dampers to divide the air ducts into finer and more sections. After passing through several mixing dampers, the air is directed to different pipelines, with the mixing dampers controlled by multiple independent controllers.

What type of engine oil does the Golf require?

The original factory-recommended engine oil for the Golf is 5W-40. This vehicle requires SN-grade or higher engine oil. Under normal usage conditions, the oil change quantity is 5L. For international brands, Shell, Castrol, and Mobil are recommended; for domestic brands, Great Wall, Tongyi, and Kunlun are suggested. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number indicates better ability to maintain viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the Golf's engine oil is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the engine valve cover's oil filler port. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If any leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check if the engine oil level is within the standard range.

What are the mandatory maintenance items for the Teana at 40,000 kilometers?

The mandatory maintenance items for the Teana at 40,000 kilometers include replacing the air conditioning filter and oil filter. The maintenance items for the Teana at 40,000 kilometers are as follows: Adjust the ignition system, brakes, transmission/steering, exhaust system, front and rear suspension, chassis, cooling system, fuel system, transmission fluid, door locks, hinges, sunroof, engine hood lock and trunk lock, tire rotation, tire condition, battery condition. In addition to the regular replacement of engine oil and three filters, the following should also be replaced: brake fluid, power steering fluid, and antifreeze. Cleaning the fuel system includes the throttle body, intake manifold, fuel injectors, internal fuel passages, catalytic converter, four-wheel and brake maintenance, etc. The reasons for regular car maintenance are as follows: Any car, as it ages and accumulates mileage, its technical condition will gradually deteriorate. The clearance between various parts will increase due to wear, and the various protective fluids in the car, such as engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant, will deteriorate and lose effectiveness. These fluids are like the blood in a human body, providing essential "nutrition" to various parts of the car. If not replaced in time, they can affect the car's normal operation and lifespan, and even lead to serious accidents. Maintenance involves keeping the vehicle in good working condition through good usage habits, and servicing involves keeping the vehicle in good working condition through inspections, adjustments, tightening, lubrication, and replacements. The current deteriorating traffic environment, crowded city roads, and slow stop-and-go driving are the most unfavorable conditions for the engine and oil. This situation is most likely to produce sludge, causing rapid deterioration of the oil, leading to reduced acceleration, increased fuel consumption, louder noise, and poorer handling performance. Therefore, it is particularly important to regularly replace various protective fluids and to conduct necessary inspections, adjustments, tightening, and lubrication of various parts of the vehicle. If maintenance is neglected, the result of waiting until the car breaks down to repair it will only be a waste of time, effort, and money. Regular maintenance is the best way to keep a car in top condition.

What is the weight of the Mercedes-Benz GLE in kilograms?

Taking the Mercedes-Benz GLE400 as an example, the vehicle weight is 2285KG. The model introduction of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is as follows: Exterior: The new car adopts Mercedes-Benz's latest family-style front fascia design. The grille features a dual-horizontal slat design paired with a large-sized logo, and the front bumper design is quite stylish and dynamic. Additionally, the rear of the Mercedes-Benz GLE features a dual-exhaust pipe design, giving the overall appearance a fashionable and premium feel. Interior: The Mercedes-Benz GLE continues the family-style design language, with a wide and solid dashboard that runs across the cabin. The dark color scheme, complemented by metal and leather accents, exudes a sense of luxury. The new car comes with Mercedes-Benz's classic three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in leather, integrating multifunction buttons for vehicle information, multimedia system, Bluetooth calling, and more. Powertrain: The GLE320 4MATIC, GLE400 4MATIC, and GLE450 AMG 4MATIC models are equipped with a 3.0L twin-turbocharged engine, while the AMG GLE63 4MATIC model features a 5.5L twin-turbocharged engine. In terms of the transmission system, all models are paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The curb weight of the car is introduced as follows: The fully equipped mass of the car, including lubricants, fuel, onboard tools, spare tire, and all other equipment. The curb weight of a car is essentially its own weight, defined as the dry mass plus coolant, fuel (at least 90% of the tank capacity), spare wheel, and onboard accessories. Dry mass refers to the mass of the car equipped only with the body, all electrical devices, and the complete vehicle necessary for normal operation. Curb weight is the empty weight of the car ready to drive under normal conditions, without passengers (including the driver) or cargo. The curb weight of a car is also an important factor affecting fuel consumption, as fuel consumption is directly proportional to curb weight—the heavier the car, the higher the fuel consumption. Of course, a lower curb weight isn't always better, as a heavier car offers better stability, especially during sharp turns and sudden braking, where its advantages are quite evident.

What are the differences between China National V and China National VI automotive emission standards?

The differences between China National V and China National VI emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: China National VI emission standards are more than 30% stricter than China National V. Excluding the influence of working conditions and tests, the carbon monoxide emissions of gasoline vehicles are reduced by 50%, the total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: China National V standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth phase of national motor vehicle emission standards. China National VI has been implemented since July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China National V phase, the emission standards for diesel and gasoline vehicles were different, but China National VI adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Different issuing departments: China National V standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection; China National VI standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China National V is represented by 'V'; China National VI is represented by 'VI'. Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China National V, China National VI has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulations. China National V standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China National VI has two standards: China National VIa and China National VIb. The details are as follows: China National VIa standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 milligrams of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China National VIb standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 milligrams of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 milligrams of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 milligrams of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. Affected by the China National VI emission policy, although China National V vehicles are not currently restricted in normal use, with no driving bans or license plate restrictions, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For car owners, if they purchase a truck for cargo transport with a loan, the vehicle's depreciation after repaying the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China National VI vehicles, with longer service life and more road rights, have greater advantages.
