hi is the high-level seat heating, and lo is the low-level seat heating. The following are the precautions for heated seats: 1. Seat heating device: It only works when the ignition switch is turned on. 2. To protect the heating components of the seat heating device: Please do not kneel on the seat or apply point loads to the seat surface and backrest. 3. If the vehicle voltage drops: The seat heating device will automatically turn off to ensure sufficient power supply for the engine control system. 4. After parking: Turn off the seat heating or ventilation in time to prevent excessive power consumption during the next startup. 5. After starting the engine: Turn on the seat heating switch, which can effectively save battery energy and extend battery life.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I'm very familiar with seat heating functions. The HI setting is like stir-frying over high heat—it quickly warms up an icy-cold seat, perfect for those chilly winter mornings when you're rushing to work. Your back will feel toasty in just five minutes. The LO setting is more like simmering over low heat, maintaining a comfortably warm temperature that's just right for long drives or daily commutes, without making your back sweat. My routine is to start with the HI setting for five minutes to thaw out, then switch to LO to maintain the warmth. Remember not to keep the HI setting on for too long—it wastes electricity, can get uncomfortably hot, and isn't great for the heating elements inside the seat. This is especially true for leather seats, as prolonged high heat can cause cracking. Once the temperature drops, the LO setting is the most economical and practical choice—energy-efficient and comfortable.

Is it normal to hear a hissing sound when opening the fuel tank cap?

It is normal to hear a hissing sound when opening the fuel tank cap because, after unscrewing the cap, some gas enters the tank, causing a pressure difference between the inside and outside, which results in the hissing sound. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. There is a significant amount of gasoline vapor inside the tank, leading to relatively high pressure, which is released the moment the cap is opened. Although the pressure inside the tank is high, it does not become infinitely large mainly because, while driving, the gasoline vapor pushes open the carbon canister valve at the top, enters the carbon canister through the pipeline, and is absorbed by it. 2. Once the gasoline vapor reaches a certain concentration, it stops evaporating further, naturally reducing the pressure. However, if you hear a thumping sound from the fuel tank while driving, it might be due to a blocked vent valve on the fuel tank cap, which can be resolved by clearing it. It is important to note that if the fuel pump nozzle frequently shuts off prematurely or if the pressure is excessively high, it is advisable to have it checked at a 4S shop, as it could be caused by damage to the carbon canister, its pipelines, or the carbon canister solenoid valve.

At what level of wear should brake discs be replaced?

Brake discs are critical components of the braking system. Generally, front brake discs should be inspected every 60,000 kilometers, and rear brake discs every 120,000 kilometers. The maintenance intervals specified by different vehicle manufacturers may vary, so the replacement cycle should follow the manufacturer's requirements. There are three primary methods to determine if brake discs need replacement: 1. Listen for sounds: If a metallic scraping or squealing noise occurs when lightly applying the brakes (which could also be due to initial bedding-in of new brake pads), the brake pads must be replaced immediately. 2. Check the brake disc warning light: Typically, the dashboard's brake disc warning light serves as an indicator for replacement. Normally, this light remains off. If the brake disc malfunctions or becomes excessively worn, the light will illuminate and turn off after repairs. When the warning light is on, the brake disc has reached its wear limit, braking efficiency is reduced, significantly compromising driving safety. 3. Measure the brake disc thickness: Most brake disc products feature wear indicators with three small dimples on the surface. Using a caliper, measure the depth of these dimples, which is 1.5mm. This means when the total wear depth on both sides of the brake disc reaches 3mm, it is advisable to replace the brake disc promptly.

Correct Method for Parking an Automatic Transmission Vehicle

Correct steps for parking an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Keep the brake pedal depressed and shift the gear to N (Neutral). 3. Engage the parking brake, then release the foot brake. 4. Shift to P (Park). 5. Turn off the engine. Compared to manual transmission vehicles, automatic transmission cars have an additional P gear when parking. The purposes of P and N gears are as follows: 1. P gear can be understood as N gear with an additional locking gear. The P gear was originally designed for long-term parking. 2. The N gear was designed for short-term (temporary) parking. When a car is in N gear (neutral), it can move if subjected to external force. When in P gear, the locking gear can secure the output shaft gear in the transmission, effectively immobilizing the stationary vehicle.

What are the two major mechanisms and five major systems of an engine?

Here is the relevant introduction about the two major mechanisms and five major systems of an engine: Two Major Mechanisms 1. Crank Connecting Rod Mechanism: The crank connecting rod is an important component of an automobile engine that realizes the working cycle and completes energy conversion. It consists of the body group, piston connecting rod group, and crankshaft flywheel group. 2. Valve Train Mechanism: The function of the valve train mechanism is to open and close the intake and exhaust valves according to the working sequence and process of the engine, allowing the combustible mixture or air to enter the cylinder and exhaust the waste gas from the cylinder to achieve the gas exchange process. Five Major Systems 1. Starting System: The process of turning the crankshaft under external force until the engine begins to idle automatically is called engine starting. The device required to complete the starting process is called the engine starting system. 2. Fuel Supply System: The function of the gasoline engine fuel supply system is to prepare a certain quantity and concentration of the mixture according to the requirements of the engine, supply it into the cylinder, and exhaust the burned gas from the cylinder. 3. Cooling System: The function of the cooling system is to dissipate the heat absorbed by the heated parts in time to ensure that the engine works at the most suitable temperature. The cooling system of a water-cooled engine usually consists of components such as the cooling water jacket, water pump, fan, radiator, and thermostat. 4. Lubrication System: The function of the lubrication system is to deliver a certain amount of clean lubricating oil to the surface of relatively moving parts to achieve liquid friction, reduce frictional resistance, and alleviate wear of the parts. 5. Ignition System: The ignition system usually consists of components such as the generator, battery, distributor, ignition coil, and spark plug.

What Happens If a Car Is Not Maintained on Time?

A minor service takes 30-40 minutes, while a major service lasts between one to two hours. If parts need repair or replacement, the time will be longer. Below is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. The interval for a minor service depends on the effective duration or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used. The validity periods of mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full-synthetic oil vary by brand and grade, so follow the manufacturer's recommendations. 2. Oil filters are generally divided into standard and long-life types. Standard oil filters are replaced along with the oil, while long-life oil filters have a longer service life. In summer, when temperatures are higher, evaporation of oil and water increases. Therefore, ensure the fuel tank cap is tightly sealed and check for oil leaks in the fuel lines. Regularly inspect the coolant level in the radiator, the oil level in the crankcase, the brake fluid level in the master cylinder, and the electrolyte density and level in the battery. If any levels are not within specifications, promptly top up or adjust them.
