Hill Descent Control refers to the Hill Descent Control system, also known as the Downhill Assist System, which is an automatic control system used for downhill driving. Its main function is to maintain a low speed and tire traction on steep downhill roads, allowing the vehicle to safely descend to flat ground. Once the Hill Descent Control is activated, the driver can focus on steering without needing to press the brake pedal, ensuring a smooth descent on steep slopes. To use the Hill Descent Control system: before descending a steep slope, turn on the HDC switch, then release the accelerator and brake pedals. The Hill Descent Control system will then engage. Pressing the brake or accelerator pedal will immediately deactivate the system.

What is the approximate pressure for recharging refrigerant in a car's air conditioning system?

The pressure for recharging refrigerant in a car's air conditioning system is: 1. The low pressure is 2.0 to 2.6 bar; 2. The high pressure is 15 bar. Maintenance methods for air conditioning use are: 1. Do not set the temperature too low; 2. Control the direction of the air outlet; 3. Avoid prolonged use; 4. Occasionally use high fan speed; 5. Turn off the air conditioning when driving at low speeds. The functions of the air conditioning system include: 1. Achieving a cooling effect through the continuous phase change cycle of the refrigerant; 2. Removing dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the car's interior air to freshen it, and humidifying the interior air to increase its relative humidity; 3. Using engine coolant, waste heat, or heat generated by a burner as a heat source to warm the air, which is then blown into the car by a blower to raise the temperature at the air outlets for heating purposes.

Can I still file an insurance claim after leaving the scene of a vehicle scrape?

You can still file an insurance claim after leaving the scene of a vehicle scrape, but it is recommended to preserve the accident scene or take photos. Different situations allow for different handling methods. For insurance companies, minor single-vehicle accidents may not necessarily require an on-site inspection. Of course, if you are still unsure, you can first report the incident to the insurance company for record-keeping before leaving. Single-vehicle accident: In the case of a single-vehicle accident, you can take photos to preserve evidence of the scene before leaving. Scrape or collision accident: For rear-end collisions or scrape accidents, you can leave after mutual agreement or after obtaining an accident liability determination certificate from the traffic police. Major accident: For major accidents, you must not leave the scene. You need to report to the police and also file an insurance claim.

Should the Engine Be Turned Off When Washing the Car?

Automatic car washing does not require turning off the engine. Here are some precautions regarding automatic car washing: Car Settings: When entering an automatic car wash, first set the car to neutral gear, do not use the handbrake or foot brake. Once inside the automatic car wash, do not move the steering wheel randomly or perform any operations on the vehicle, as the external washing equipment may affect the car. Closing Windows and Doors: Close all windows and doors properly. Drive the left wheel onto the conveyor belt without turning off the engine, shift into neutral, do not pull the handbrake, turn off the car's automatic headlights and automatic wipers. Before entering, fold the side mirrors on both sides to prevent damage from external pressure.

What does 7.7l/100km mean in terms of fuel consumption?

7.7l/100km refers to the commonly mentioned '7.7 liters per 100 kilometers' fuel consumption, which means the amount of fuel consumed to travel 100 kilometers. Below are some related details about fuel consumption: Methods to check fuel consumption: Refer to the official fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. When purchasing a vehicle at a 4S store, a yellow sticker is usually placed on the windshield, clearly stating the urban, suburban, and combined fuel consumption figures tested by the Ministry. Methods to calculate fuel consumption: After filling up the tank, note down the odometer reading. The next time you fill up, record the number of liters added and the current odometer reading. Divide the liters of fuel added by the difference in odometer readings to get the fuel consumption per kilometer. Multiply this figure by 100 to get the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when a car is driven at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on highways and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely used.
