What is the difference between new energy and hybrid vehicles?

The differences between new energy and hybrid vehicles are as follows: 1. New energy: Refers to vehicles powered by electricity where the battery can only be charged by plugging into a power source and does not automatically recharge during wheel movement or when driven by fuel. Plug-in hybrid vehicles primarily rely on electricity, with the internal combustion engine (gasoline/diesel) serving as a secondary power source only when the battery is depleted and cannot be promptly recharged. 2. Hybrid: In contrast to plug-in hybrids, these vehicles use fuel as the primary power source, and the battery does not need to be plugged in for charging as it automatically recharges during wheel movement or when driven by fuel. Therefore, hybrid vehicles currently on the market are fuel-saving devices, primarily powered by internal combustion engines (gasoline/diesel) with electricity as a supplementary power source.

Is it necessary to replace the missing control arm bushings?

It is necessary to replace the missing control arm bushings; otherwise, it may cause abnormal noises in the chassis and lead to a loose suspension. Below are the precautions for replacing control arm bushings: Using a jack: First, lift the car with a jack and place bricks around the vehicle for added safety to prevent the jack from failing. Pay attention to the direction: Remove both ends of the control arm, select two corresponding-sized metal sleeves, and install the bushings. Larger bushings need to be distinguished between left (L) and right (R), as marked, while smaller ones do not require differentiation. Apply dish soap: After removal, use a torch to burn out the middle metal sleeve. Apply dish soap to the new bushing for easier installation, as it acts as a lubricant and does not corrode the rubber. Do not use engine oil.

What does 'use-with' mean on the air conditioner?

use-with on the air conditioner refers to the forced activation of powerful defrosting, where the air conditioner automatically switches to blowing air towards the windshield and changes to external circulation. Below are the related details: Introduction to external circulation: It means drawing air from outside the vehicle, directing it into the air conditioning system for heating or cooling, and then blowing it out through the vents. External circulation replenishes fresh air and improves the air quality inside the vehicle. Conditions for using external circulation: Turn on external circulation when you feel the air inside the car is stuffy. Using internal circulation during high-speed driving can lead to insufficient oxygen inside the vehicle, causing driver fatigue.

What Are the Reasons for Poor Car Acceleration?

There are several reasons for poor car acceleration: 1. Fuel system issues. Carbon deposits can affect engine acceleration performance and cause unstable idling, though they have a relatively minor impact on acceleration. A clogged or water-logged air filter reduces air intake, leading to an overly rich fuel mixture and incomplete combustion, which results in poor acceleration. Cracks in fuel lines or loose, leaking fittings can reduce fuel pump pressure and cause insufficient fuel supply, leading to weak acceleration. Poor atomization or clogging of fuel injectors can affect cylinder performance, thereby impacting acceleration. 2. Electrical system issues. A faulty mass airflow sensor can reduce air intake, causing the fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, affecting acceleration. Damaged spark plugs can also impair acceleration. High coolant temperature or a faulty temperature sensor can similarly affect acceleration. Additionally, a clogged catalytic converter or faulty oxygen sensor can lead to poor engine acceleration.

Should You Shift to 1st Gear When Going Downhill?

You should shift to 1st gear when going downhill to avoid damaging the car. Reasons for shifting to 1st gear when going downhill: Shifting to 1st gear not only prevents damage to the car but also helps control the speed. There's no need to constantly press the brake pedal, as this can cause the brake calipers to overheat. Instead, use the gear to regulate the speed. Precautions for downhill driving: Avoid overtaking on downhill sections, as accelerating to overtake can lead to loss of control. Downhill driving is very dangerous, so drivers should stay focused and avoid distractions or drowsiness. Never coast in neutral or let the engine stall on downhill sections. Always engage a gear appropriate for the speed to use the engine's braking effect to counteract inertia. Maintain a speed of around 30 km/h on downhill sections and reduce speed further when approaching turns to ensure safe passage. Excessive speed can easily lead to rollover accidents.

What kind of water should be added to a car?

Water added to a car refers to coolant. Method for adding coolant: Park the car on a level and solid ground, wait for the engine to cool down sufficiently, open the engine hood, and locate the purple oval-shaped coolant tank on the left side. When the engine is cold, check the coolant level through the side markings of the expansion tank. When filling coolant, use a suitable cloth to cover the expansion tank cap to prevent scalding hands and arms from hot coolant or steam. Precautions for using coolant: Do not open the coolant tank cap or drain valve immediately after driving, as the temperature of the antifreeze or water is very high at this time to avoid scalding. The effective service life of antifreeze is generally two years. It should be replaced when expired or if the coolant is found to be dirty. When replacing, be sure to completely remove all the old antifreeze and thoroughly clean the coolant tank.
