I've been driving the JAC Jiayue A5 for almost three years now. This car comes standard with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine from the HFC4GB series, delivering around 150 horsepower. It's very effortless to drive in the city. The acceleration from a standstill is quick, making overtaking quite easy, and the fuel consumption is also quite economical, averaging just over 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which can be even lower on the highway. Regular maintenance isn't complicated—just oil changes and air filter replacements—with no major issues so far. The engine noise is well controlled, especially at low speeds where the quietness is noticeably better than my previous car, making long drives less tiring. I think the reliability of this 1.5T engine, independently developed by JAC, is quite high. It hasn't had any failures up to now, making it a cost-effective choice. Compared to some joint-venture brands, it's lower in cost but doesn't lag much in performance, making it quite reliable for family or commuter use. If you're considering buying a car, I recommend test-driving it to experience the power delivery—you'll appreciate its smooth driving feel.

What are the practices to avoid vehicle tire blowouts?

Avoiding vehicle tire blowouts involves the following practices: 1. Regularly inspect tires; 2. Promptly remove foreign objects from tire grooves; 3. Replace tires with cracks or damage; 4. Rotate tires periodically. 5. Check if the tire valve is blocked—tires with too much or too little air are not suitable for travel; 6. Avoid sudden braking and driving on particularly poor road sections. If the front tire blows out, the driver should not panic, must keep both hands steady on the steering wheel, adjust the direction of the car, and avoid excessive or abrupt movements. If the rear tire blows out, the car will tend to move toward the side of the blown-out tire. In this case, firmly hold the steering wheel, ease off the accelerator, and gradually reduce the car's speed.

How to Deal with Overheating Engine Coolant Temperature?

Methods to handle overheating engine coolant temperature: 1. Replace the coolant temperature sensor. If the engine isn't boiling over but only shows high temperature, it might be due to an inaccurate coolant temperature sensor. In this case, replacing the sensor should solve the problem. 2. Replace the thermostat. A thermostat that fails to open can prevent the circulation of hot and cold coolant. After the temperature reaches 90 degrees, open the hood and feel the hoses near the engine. If the hoses aren't hot, it indicates no coolant circulation. Normally, both sides should be hot. If not, the thermostat needs replacement. 3. Replace the water pump. Over time, the impeller of the water pump can get damaged or clogged. A malfunctioning water pump can't circulate the coolant properly, leading to rapid temperature rise, which requires replacing the water pump.

Do the small steel balls on the axle increase or decrease friction?

The small steel balls on the axle reduce friction. Automotive bearings are fundamental components in vehicle transmission systems, bearing both axial and radial loads, making them crucial parts. Automotive bearings constitute a significant portion of the bearing industry, including wheel hub bearings, air conditioning fan bearings, and pulley bearings, among others. Bearings primarily serve two functions: 1. Ensuring that the shock absorber can rotate with the wheel during vehicle steering, maintaining steering flexibility; 2. The outer ring of the pressure bearing is made of rubber, providing a flexible connection between the vehicle body and the shock absorber, preventing vibrations from uneven road surfaces from being transmitted to the body through the shock absorber during driving.

What are the causes of excessive tire pressure?

The causes of excessive tire pressure are: 1. Over-inflation of the tire; 2. Incorrect wheel alignment of a particular wheel, leading to uneven tire wear and elevated temperature. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Automotive tires are one of the key components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface, working in conjunction with the vehicle's suspension to mitigate the impact experienced during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability.

How to Check the Production Date of Car Window Glass?

Methods to check the production date of car window glass: 1. There is a code in the lower left or lower right corner of the window glass. The last or second-to-last row contains a number and several small black dots, which indicate the production date of the glass; 2. The number represents the production year of the glass, showing the last digit of the year, while the small black dots are used to determine the production month. The markings on the front and rear windshields differ because they are different types of glass, and the manufacturer's part numbers also vary. Typically, the glass code consists of a combination of symbols, numbers, and English letters printed in the lower left corner of the glass, including information such as the car brand, glass brand, certification marks, glass type, and production date.

Is It Safe If There's No News About Running a Red Light After 7 Days?

After running a red light, the violation notification SMS is usually received within 3 to 7 days, with the latest being around 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes of being captured. But a notification does not necessarily mean a violation; it serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation takes 3-7 days. If it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive an immediate violation SMS; there is a delay, and the duration may vary. After the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by the relevant traffic police department staff. Once confirmed as a violation, the system automatically retrieves the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and sends the violation details via SMS. Only then does the owner receive the corresponding violation SMS. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred within one month before the annual vehicle inspection to handle the matter. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management regulations via the internet or query terminals. There are five methods for vehicle violation queries: traffic branch terminal queries, vehicle violation website queries, phone queries, SMS queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and input your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for traffic violation confirmation. Violations can only be handled at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS Query: Open your phone's SMS interface; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; send it to 1062650001. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "violation query," and find unresolved violations to clear them.
