There is no difference between dripping and spraying water; if the throttle is large, it may spray water. When the ambient temperature is low, water vapor will condense into water droplets on the exhaust pipe wall and flow out along the pipe. This is a normal phenomenon. Below are relevant details: 1. When the ambient temperature is relatively low, especially in winter, the car's exhaust pipe may drip water outward. This is actually a very normal phenomenon. This occurs because gasoline, when completely burned, produces water and carbon dioxide. At high temperatures, water exists as vapor, which is colorless and transparent. However, when the temperature drops below 100°C, the water vapor condenses into water. If the condensed water droplets are very small and suspended in the air, the water vapor appears as white smoke. When the ambient temperature is low, the white smoke from the exhaust pipe is water vapor. If the condensed water droplets accumulate, they turn into water. 2. The water droplets discharged from the exhaust pipe are the result of water vapor generated from gasoline combustion condensing in the exhaust pipe and muffler. However, when the ambient temperature is high, the water vapor is discharged before it can condense. When the ambient temperature is low, the water vapor condenses into water droplets on the exhaust pipe wall and is discharged with the exhaust flow.

Where is the air filter located in the BMW X3?

BMW X3's air filter is located in a special position, inside the grid cover under the wipers. Below are the steps to remove the BMW X3 air filter: 1. Open the engine compartment cover. First, remove the two sealing strips to prevent them from hindering the removal process later. Then prepare to open the first layer of the cover by pulling the clip at the bottom left corner, and the first layer of the cover can be removed. 2. Next, disconnect the wiring harness. Hold the wire and the clip, and pull them out from the round hole on the right side. Pay special attention here: when pulling out the wiring harness, make sure to pull out both the clip and the wiring harness together, and never pull out only the wiring harness. 3. After completing steps 1 and 2, what remains is the grid-shaped plastic cover. Gently pull the clip upwards, then lift the entire plastic cover upwards to remove the grid cover. 4. When removing the air filter, hold the four clips to take out the filter and the plastic box together, and then you can remove the second layer of the filter.

What is the tire pressure warning symbol for Volkswagen new cars?

Volkswagen new car tire pressure warning symbol is a yellow sign, an irregular circle with no seal on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. The tire pressure monitoring indicator light indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure generally has the following 3 reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, it will alarm when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, the tire pressure was not reset in time, resulting in the tire pressure monitoring system still recording the original data, and the tire pressure monitoring indicator light will remain on. At this time, just perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure, directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, only a brand new replacement can be installed.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in the Teramont?

To disable the auto start-stop feature in the Teramont, simply press the auto start-stop button (usually a circular arrow with the letter 'A'). The dashboard will display a notification indicating the system is turned off. To reactivate this function, press the button again. Below is some relevant information about the auto start-stop system: 1. The auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move again. Its English name is STOPSTART, abbreviated as STT. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a setup that controls engine start and stop operations. 2. The start-stop system works by detecting when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection. When the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral, the Start/Stop system checks three conditions: the engine is idling and in neutral, the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system show zero rotation, and the electronic battery sensor confirms sufficient energy for the next start. If all conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, pressing the clutch pedal activates the start-stop system, quickly restarting the engine.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the BYD S6 in liters?

BYD S6 has a total of 16 models with a fuel tank capacity of 72 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, 2.0L and 2.4L naturally aspirated engines, and the entire lineup uses 5-speed and 6-speed manual transmissions (MT) as well as a 6-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Haoyue has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, while the 2022 Boyue has a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit level, and there is still some space from the safe limit level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank's safe space. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is almost empty, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
