The differences between ethanol gasoline and unleaded gasoline: 1. Price difference: Ethanol gasoline is generally cheaper, as the proportion of gasoline is reduced, and this low-cost alcohol replaces part of the gasoline. 2. The heat of combustion of ethanol gasoline is lower than that of gasoline: Therefore, using ethanol gasoline may make the car feel less powerful. 3. The same tank of fuel will yield different mileage: A tank of unleaded gasoline can run 600 kilometers, while a tank of ethanol gasoline can only run 570 kilometers. Advantages of ethanol gasoline: 1. High octane number and good anti-knock performance. 2. Ethanol has an oxygen content of up to 34.7%. Adding 10% ethanol to gasoline can achieve an oxygen content of 3.5%. 3. The use of ethanol gasoline in vehicles can effectively reduce vehicle exhaust emissions and improve the energy structure.

What should be the voltage reference table for a 12V battery?

The voltage of a 12V battery is not fixed and is generally slightly higher. Batteries used in different fields may have different voltages. For electric vehicles, a fully charged 12V battery typically has a voltage of around 13.3V, while for cars, a fully charged 12V battery usually has a voltage between 12.8V and 13.0V. Below is some information about car batteries: 1. Precautions: Both excessively high or low battery voltage can have certain impacts. It is advisable to regularly check the battery's condition. When the battery voltage drops below 10.8V, it needs to be charged promptly. If the battery voltage is too low, the car may be difficult to start or even fail to start; if the battery voltage is too high, it may damage the battery. 2. Determining if the battery is fully charged: By charging time: Typically, a household car battery has a capacity of around 60Ah, and the required charging current is one-tenth of the battery capacity, which is 6A. Charging at this current usually takes about 3-5 hours to fully charge. If a lower current is used for charging, it may take about 10 hours to fully charge.

How to Claim Compensation When Your New Car is Scratched and the Other Party is Fully at Fault?

After your new car is scratched, you can claim compensation from the other party by verifying their documents. Below are the specific steps to claim compensation when the other party is fully at fault: 1. Negotiation: If the accident occurs on the road, immediately turn on your hazard lights and set up warning signs behind your vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. If there is heavy traffic and vehicles are moving at high speeds, move to a safe area before negotiating. 2. Collect Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene. Modern smartphones have powerful cameras, so take as many photos as possible. Capture both wide-angle and close-up shots of the collision location. Wide-angle shots should ideally show which party was at fault for the accident. For close-ups, take multiple angles around the scene, focusing on the collision point to demonstrate the impact and the extent of damage to both vehicles. 3. Verify Documents: Check the other party's documents, including their vehicle registration, driver's license, and the validity of their compulsory insurance. Also, check if they are driving under the influence of alcohol. If the other party is driving without a license or under the influence, protect the scene and call the police immediately. If all documents are in order and both parties agree on liability, the at-fault party should call their insurance company to file a claim.

What does a triangle with an exclamation mark mean on a car?

A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-inspection, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to identify the problem.

Can a car be started in P gear?

It is correct to start a car in P gear, and many vehicle models are designed from the factory to only allow ignition in P gear for safety reasons. The P gear is a common gear position in automatic transmission vehicles, usually located at the frontmost position of the gear shift console, ahead of the R gear. Its purpose is to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope. When the P gear is engaged, the locking mechanism inside the automatic transmission locks the gears of the transmission, which indirectly locks the wheels. Even without engaging the handbrake, the car cannot move.
