The operation method of exhaust brake is to pull backward to turn on the exhaust brake switch, and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. Different vehicle models may vary. Here is more information about exhaust brake: 1. Introduction: Exhaust brake, also known as engine brake, is an auxiliary braking system that cannot replace service brakes. A control valve is installed on the engine exhaust pipe. By closing this valve, the pressure in the exhaust stroke is increased, utilizing the generated negative pressure to obtain braking force. 2. Function: Proper use of exhaust brake can significantly reduce the usage of service brakes, thereby decreasing wear on brake pads (or discs) and greatly lowering the safety risks caused by overheating from continuous braking of pads (or discs).

Should the Haval H6 with turbo use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

According to the official recommendation, the Haval H6 with turbo can use 92 octane or higher gasoline. Therefore, both 92 and 95 octane are acceptable. Below is relevant information: 1. The gasoline octane rating represents anti-knock performance. A higher number indicates better anti-knock performance, but it has no relation to the quality of the gasoline itself. All octane levels are refined strictly according to uniform standards. The difference between 92 and 95 octane lies in the ratio of isooctane to n-heptane. 92 octane consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The proportion of isooctane affects the anti-knock performance of gasoline with different octane ratings—the higher the octane, the better the anti-knock performance. 2. Different engines have varying requirements for gasoline's anti-knock performance. Generally, higher-priced car models with more powerful engines require gasoline with better anti-knock performance to handle intense power output. In contrast, more affordable cars with weaker engine outputs, such as 1.5L or 1.5T engines, have lower anti-knock requirements. The Haval H6 is equipped with a 1.5T engine, so 92 octane gasoline is sufficient.
