sail refers to the Sail (Fengfan) storage battery. The English version of Sail (Fengfan) is more suitable for southern regions, while the Chinese version is more suitable for northern regions. The English version of Sail (Fengfan) is slightly lighter in weight compared to the Chinese version. The Sail battery is a Fengfan brand storage battery. Fengfan Co., Ltd. has introduced multiple dedicated production lines and testing equipment for storage batteries, with product performance meeting international standards. Currently, it is a partner of domestic automobile manufacturers such as FAW-Volkswagen, Beijing Hyundai, and Dongfeng Motor. It is also the exclusive domestic supplier of AGM batteries for Mercedes-Benz and BMW, with a supporting ratio of over 60% for domestic mid-to-high-end vehicle models. Common knowledge about Fengfan storage batteries: Before installing a new battery, clean the corrosion on the battery terminals, tray, and bracket, as it can easily cause poor contact, leading to short circuits and leakage. When removing the battery, disconnect the "ground terminal" first, and when installing, connect the "ground terminal" last. High temperatures can accelerate the self-discharge of the battery, so avoid storing the battery in high-temperature environments. Avoid mixing with alkaline substances.

When I usually repair cars and replace batteries, I often hear people say that Sail batteries are actually Fengfan brand batteries. This brand has been in China for decades and is quite reliable in quality, such as strong starting current and no fear of freezing the engine even in sub-zero winters. However, it should be noted that it mainly produces lead-acid batteries, which are divided into maintenance-free and regular types; the regular ones require periodic addition of electrolyte, while the maintenance-free ones are more worry-free. The price ranges from 300-600 yuan, not the cheapest but offers good value for money, suitable for family cars. The only drawback is that heavy loads can easily reduce their lifespan, so long-distance or pickup truck users need to check the voltage more frequently to prevent breakdowns on the road.

Last year, my car battery died, so I directly replaced it with a Sail brand battery. The mechanic recommended it as a Fengfan brand product. It's been almost a year with no issues—quick starts and very quiet operation. Cost around 400 yuan, much more affordable than imported brands. Fengfan batteries are quite popular locally, available at many small shops. Just remember to choose the correct model matching your vehicle. For daily use, avoid draining the battery by listening to music after turning off the engine. Typically lasts two to three years—a cost-effective choice overall.

Sail battery? Oh, I guess it refers to the Sail automotive battery. It's a well-established brand commonly seen in China, used for vehicle starting. The battery quality is decent with moderate pricing, offering hassle-free usage. When purchasing a car, you can check if it's originally equipped with a Sail battery. If it fails, just replace it with the same model—don't opt for cheap off-brands to avoid potential stalling issues.

Can Car Horn Sounds Be Modified?

Car horn sounds can be modified, but it requires registration. Modifying a car's horn must be registered with the relevant authorities. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of the law, and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. In such cases, the owner will be required to rectify the modification before the vehicle can be re-inspected. The cost of modifying the horn depends on the quality of the replacement horn. Definition of Illegal Modifications: Illegal modifications refer to alterations made to a car's appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system that are not permitted by national laws or exceed the original load capacity designed by the car manufacturer. The reason why the state prohibits illegal car modifications is that modified vehicles have not undergone safety assessments, making them prone to traffic accidents. Areas Covered by Illegal Modifications: Illegal modifications include alterations to key parts of the car, such as the exterior appearance, logos, sunroof, luggage racks, as well as modifications to the rear spoiler, tires, rims, and chassis. Interior modifications include changes to the steering wheel, seats, and dashboard. Modifications to the power system include alterations to the exhaust pipe, engine power, and actual power output.

What Happens If You Turn Off the Engine Without Engaging the Handbrake?

Turning off the engine without engaging the handbrake does not affect the brake pads. However, it can impact the metal cables of the handbrake. It is not necessary to pull the handbrake too high; even when parking on a slope, it is not recommended to pull it too high. Instead, you can place bricks in front of or behind the wheels. After parking and turning off the engine, it is essential to engage the handbrake first, as it benefits the vehicle. This is a standard regulation for all manufacturers and models. Here are the specific reasons: Engaging the handbrake after turning off the engine is a default rule: After parking the car with the gear engaged, not using the handbrake offers no benefits and only causes harm. Every manufacturer and model mandates engaging the handbrake after parking and turning off the engine. No model allows parking and turning off the engine with only the gear engaged and no handbrake. Risks of not engaging the handbrake: For gasoline vehicles, parking on a flat surface and turning off the engine with only the gear engaged and no handbrake may keep the car stable, but it provides no benefits to the vehicle and poses potential risks.

Can I Take the Subject 4 Exam Without an ID Card?

If you don't bring your ID card, you cannot participate in the Subject 4 exam. The ID card, student card, and personal file are essential documents; missing any one of them will disqualify you from taking the Subject 4 exam. Materials Required for Subject 4: Items needed for the Subject 4 exam include an ID card, student card, exam file, etc. Some locations might also require a photo for the driver's license. Usually, if the driving school schedules the Subject 4 exam on your behalf, you only need to bring your ID card. Before the driving school organizes a group trip to the DMV for the exam, they will hand over the student card and file to the student. Documents in the File: No documents should be missing from the file. The file contains a medical examination form, motor vehicle driving skills test admission ticket, driver's license application form, copies of identification documents, and score sheets for each subject, among others. Typically, the file is kept by the DMV and the driving school, so it's rare for a single document to go missing. However, before the Subject 4 exam, the driving school might give the file to the student in advance, requiring the student to keep it safe. Losing the file can lead to severe consequences and significant costs.

Will Poor Fuel Quality Cause the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate?

Poor gasoline quality can cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The following are the reasons that may trigger the engine warning light: Poor Fuel Quality: Many car owners notice that the engine warning light comes on after refueling, but the engine runs and sounds normal when the car is started. This is usually caused by fuel quality issues. Generally, adding a fuel additive or refueling with fresh gasoline after the current fuel is used up can resolve the issue. In such cases, the vehicle can continue to be driven without safety concerns. Oxygen Sensor Malfunction: If the engine warning light illuminates while driving, it is often due to a problem with the engine sensor. From a repair perspective, this phenomenon is typically caused by a faulty front oxygen sensor, which detects abnormal data in the air-fuel mixture ratio. A visit to a repair shop for computer diagnostics and replacement is necessary to fix this issue.

Should fuel consumption be viewed after startup or after reset?

Fuel consumption should be viewed after reset. The post-reset reading represents the recent fuel consumption level, which reflects the current fuel usage. The average fuel consumption indicates the long-term average value of fuel consumption. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is measured by manufacturers under controlled conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis. The obtained values are converted into speed parameters, and then the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers is calculated for the vehicle model at specified speeds. Calculation method: The actual method to calculate fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: X/100=50/600, where X is the actual fuel consumption per 100 kilometers being sought, and the right side of the equation represents 50 liters of fuel consumed over 600 kilometers of driving. Solve the equation to find X.
