Where is the fuel tank cap switch of Binrui?

When the Binrui car is in the unlocked state, press the fuel tank door opening actuator switch on the center console to open the fuel tank. The fuel tank cap refers to the box on the car used to store gasoline. It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small round entrance, which is as big as the cap of a bottle, making it easy to store. Other precautions for adding engine oil: 1. The higher the viscosity of the engine oil, the better the protection for the engine: High-viscosity engine oil not only adversely affects the fuel consumption of the entire vehicle but also does not protect the engine well. Another function of engine oil is cooling and heat dissipation. When high-viscosity engine oil is blindly used, the performance of engine oil heat dissipation will inevitably weaken. 2. Engine oils cannot be mixed: The additive components in engine oils from different manufacturers are completely different. The chemical components of various additives may vary greatly, not only between different brands but even within the same brand's different product lines. When engine oils from two brands are mixed, chemical reactions may occur under the high temperature of the engine, such as the formation of flocculent substances in the engine oil and an increase in viscosity.

What is the normal tire pressure for a sedan in summer?

In summer, the normal tire pressure range is between 2.3-2.5. If the car is fully loaded with 5 passengers, adjusting the tire pressure to around 2.5 is more suitable; for general two-person occupancy, a tire pressure of 2.3 is also normal. Below is relevant information about tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a label with standard tire pressure indicators on the rear of the driver's side door, which indicates the pressure when the tires are cold, i.e., after the car has been parked for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6 km. Measuring tire pressure when the tires are cold yields the most accurate results. 2. Air pressure is crucial for tires; both too high and too low pressure will shorten the tire's lifespan. Insufficient pressure increases tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls and excessive flexing, which causes overheating, accelerates rubber aging, fatigues the cord layers, and may break the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Excessive pressure overstretches the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving. In case of impact, it may cause internal cracks or blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.

What is the ground clearance of the new Jetta VA3?

The minimum ground clearance of the new Jetta VA3 is 109 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the new Jetta VA3 refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance for the new Jetta VA3 improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The new Jetta VA3 is a compact car under the FAW-Volkswagen Jetta brand. In terms of body dimensions, the new Jetta VA3 measures 4501 mm in length, 1704 mm in width, and 1479 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2604 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the new Jetta VA3 is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the new Jetta VA3. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-maintained roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid scraping or damaging the chassis.

Why is there a noise when stepping on the car brakes?

There are several reasons for abnormal noises when braking in a car: 1. Rust on brake discs or brake pads: After parking for a long time, especially in humid climates or after rain, rust or dirt may appear on the brake discs or brake pads. This usually resolves after driving for a while, or you can apply butter or specialized lubricant at the connection between the brake pads and brake calipers. 2. New brake pads: New cars or recently replaced brake pads may produce similar noises. New brake pads and discs require a break-in period, and such noises are normal during this time. However, if the noise persists after driving for a while, there may be an issue. 3. Excessive wear on brake discs and brake pads: Both brake discs and brake pads are high-wear items. Each time you brake, these components rub against each other, leading to wear over time. Excessive wear can cause abnormal noises, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while brake discs should be replaced every 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers. 4. Improper installation: If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or the model does not match, abnormal noises may occur. In such cases, the brake pads should be reinstalled. It is recommended to have brake pads installed at a professional auto repair shop.

What is the normal tire pressure range for the X-Trail?

The normal tire pressure range for the X-Trail is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Nissan X-Trail is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring alarm system, which can be viewed on the dashboard. The system automatically monitors the tire pressure and displays specific values while the vehicle is in motion. For other models, external instruments are required to check the tire pressure. It is recommended to inspect the tire appearance and pressure before long-distance driving. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; weakens the function of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, an alarm is triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tire should be inspected and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system still records the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.
