According to national regulations, the minimum filling capacity of vehicle fire extinguishers is one kilogram. As car owners, when purchasing vehicle fire extinguishers, it is sufficient to choose those with a capacity of 1-3 kilograms. Additionally, due to the less-than-ideal storage conditions for fire extinguishers in vehicles, it is advisable to opt for dry powder fire extinguishers or water-based fire extinguishers. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. How to choose: Generally, car fires are caused by electrical faults or fuel leaks. For electrical fires, water-based mist fire extinguishers are more suitable; for fuel fires, water-based foam fire extinguishers are better. Dry powder fire extinguishers, on the other hand, have good versatility and a wide range of applications, making them suitable for both types of fires mentioned above. 2. Usage specifications for dry powder fire extinguishers: (1) Before use, the fire extinguisher should be thoroughly inverted and shaken several times to ensure the dry powder inside is loosened. (2) Pull out the safety pin and hold the nozzle with your hand (if it is a tubeless fire extinguisher, support the bottom of the bottle with your hand), then aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. (3) Press the handle of the fire extinguisher firmly, and the dry powder will be ejected from the nozzle.

Where is the Audi AMI interface located?

Audi AMI interface can be found in the upper part of the glove box. Here are some relevant details about Audi: 1. Powertrain: Audi utilizes three types of engines: a low-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, a medium-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0L turbocharged engine. 2. Handling: The Audi quattro permanent all-wheel-drive system normally distributes 60% of engine power to the rear wheels through its mechanical structure. The vector torque control system can instantly redistribute power and torque with zero delay, delivering power most efficiently to each wheel. Under extreme driving conditions, it can allocate up to 70% of power to the front wheels or up to 85% to the rear wheels.

What happens if the catalytic converter is removed from a car?

After removing the catalytic converter, issues such as insufficient backpressure and the illumination of the check engine light may occur. Here are the specific details: 1. Insufficient exhaust backpressure: After removal, due to the exhaust pipe becoming too unrestricted, there will be a condition known as insufficient exhaust backpressure at low RPMs. Because the engine has valve overlap, the exhaust becomes too unrestricted, causing the fresh intake air to be expelled along with the overlap, resulting in a loss of low-end torque in exchange for increased high-RPM horsepower. 2. Check engine light illumination: Most cars have an oxygen sensor located after the catalytic converter. After removing the catalytic converter, the monitored data will differ from the factory-set values, triggering the check engine light.

What is the reason for the front of the car air conditioner not cooling while the rear is cooling?

If the front of the car air conditioner is not cooling while the rear is cooling, it may be due to a malfunction in the front air conditioner's blower, preventing it from cooling. Below is more information about car air conditioners: 1. Cooling Principle: When the car air conditioner is cooling, the compressor clutch engages, causing the engine to drive the compressor. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the refrigerant expands and absorbs heat, cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower. 2. Heating Principle: When the car air conditioner is heating, the engine's high-temperature coolant passes through the heater core. At the same time, the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing the air conditioner vents to blow warm air.

How to Calculate the Costs of Car Installment Payments?

Installment payments consist of a down payment and subsequent repayments. Below are the specifics of car installment purchases: 1. Advantages: Long payment terms and a wide range of options. Dealers are highly enthusiastic, as in the current market environment for car enthusiasts, installment payments are seen by many dealers as an effective means to capture market share. 2. Payment methods: Bank consumer loans, loans from car manufacturers' financial companies, and financing leases, with the market mainly dominated by the 'Kaiyuan Auto' brand chain. 3. Pros and cons analysis: Pros—bank auto loans have higher interest rates but relatively lower repayment pressure, and multiple banks offer auto loans. Cons—the maximum installment amount is linked to the overdraft limit. For example, for most installment car purchases, the maximum amount is four times the overdraft limit. However, the installment limit is separate from the spending limit, meaning after purchasing a car in installments, the spending limit is not occupied and can still be used normally.

What Causes a Gasoline Engine Spark Plug Not to Fire?

Gasoline engine spark plugs may fail to fire due to damage or lack of electrical current. It is advisable to check whether the ignition wiring of the car engine is functioning properly. The spark plug is a crucial component of the gasoline engine ignition system. It introduces high voltage into the combustion chamber and generates a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Under high voltage, the air between the spark plug's center electrode and side electrode rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties. This creates a discharge channel between the gap, resulting in a 'breakdown' phenomenon. At this point, the gas forms a luminous body, known as a 'spark.' Along with thermal expansion, a 'snapping' sound is produced. The temperature of this electrical spark can reach 2000–3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder's combustion chamber.
