The engine of the Chevrolet DS7 is produced by the Xiangyang Engine Plant of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company Ltd. (DPCA), and it is a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Chevrolet DS7 is EP6. The low-power version has a maximum power of 133kW, a maximum horsepower of 180, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The high-power version has a maximum power of 158kW, a maximum torque of 215 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 300. Here are some daily maintenance methods for the Chevrolet DS7 engine: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates out, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Does the Civic come with heated mirrors?

The Civic comes with heated mirrors. The working principle of the heated mirrors is: electric heating elements are installed inside the mirror lenses on both sides. When it rains, turning on the heated mirror function will rapidly heat the mirrors or maintain a fixed temperature within minutes, evaporating the rainwater on the lenses to ensure clear visibility. The dimensions of the Civic are: length 4500mm, width 1755mm, height 1450mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Civic is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 174 Nm, with the maximum torque achieved at 4300 rpm.

Why does defogging automatically turn on the AC?

The reason defogging automatically turns on the AC is that it requires activating the air conditioning compressor. Methods for defogging include: 1. When the fog is light, open the car windows—when the temperature inside and outside the car becomes similar, the fog will dissipate; 2. Turn on the car's cold air conditioning; 3. Turn on the heating before driving; 4. Apply a mixture of dish soap and water or soapy water as an anti-fog agent on the windows; 5. Place a dehumidifier box inside the car. The causes of window fogging are: 1. High humidity—when the window temperature is below the dew point under certain air humidity conditions, condensation forms; 2. Low temperature—when there is a temperature difference between the two sides of the window, and the surface with lower temperature reaches moisture saturation with vapor pressure lower than the surrounding environment, moisture gathers on the glass surface, forming fog as tiny water droplets.

How often should engine mounts be replaced?

There is no fixed interval for replacing engine mounts. The methods to determine whether engine mounts need replacement are: 1. Check if the engine mount rubber is cracked; 2. Sit inside the car and feel if the vibration is noticeably stronger than before - this occurs when the rubber component hardens with age and loses its vibration damping capability. Engine mounts are located on the left, right, and rear sides of the engine. Their functions include: 1. Absorbing vibrations generated during engine operation through their rubber components to eliminate resonance; 2. Providing vibration reduction through hydraulic oil contained in the mounts.

What is the tire pressure for a car?

The tire pressure for a car is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a significant role in the performance and power of the vehicle. The effects of over-inflation are: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan. The effects of under-inflation are: 1. Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation; 3. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling.
