Exhaust emission standards are set at 4%. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Establishment of standards: Automobile exhaust emission standards are quality requirements for harmful substances emitted by vehicles, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, aimed at reducing the production of harmful gases and encouraging automobile manufacturers to improve their technologies. Both Europe and the United States have established relevant standards, with Mainland China primarily referencing European standards. 2. Air pollution: Automobile exhaust is another major factor in air pollution. It contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and other solid particles that adversely affect human health, especially leaded gasoline, which poses even greater harm to humans. Different vehicles also emit different odors. Automotive repair experts note that normal exhaust should be colorless and odorless, whereas exhaust of different colors and smells may indicate that the vehicle is experiencing some malfunctions.

I've been driving for almost twenty years. The tailpipe emission standards are mainly set by the government to control vehicle pollutants. For example, all new vehicles now must comply with the China VI standard, which stipulates that carbon monoxide emissions must be below 0.5 grams per kilometer and hydrocarbons no more than 0.05 grams. These numbers sound quite small, don't they? Automakers have to ensure compliance during design and testing, otherwise the vehicles can't be sold. When I take my car for maintenance at the repair shop, the mechanics often emphasize the importance of the catalytic converter—it converts harmful substances in the exhaust into harmless ones, keeping emissions within limits. During annual inspections, the environmental department plugs in equipment to check the exhaust. If it doesn't meet the standards, the car can't be driven and requires repairs. I think as technology advances, the standards are getting stricter, pushing for cleaner engines and fresher air. But car owners also need to pay more attention to vehicle maintenance to avoid emission issues affecting driving safety. After all, everyone wants to breathe smoothly while driving.

As someone deeply concerned about the environment, emission standards are key regulations for reducing pollution. They limit the amount of harmful gases vehicles can emit, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. Current mainstream standards like China's National VI requirements are much stricter than the older National V, especially in urban areas. The direct benefit is improved air quality, reduced smog, and fewer respiratory diseases. Governments promote green technology development by car manufacturers through regular standard upgrades, such as more efficient filtration systems. When choosing a car, I prioritize the emission label and opt for low-emission models, which not only save money but also protect the planet. In daily driving, paying attention to idling time and maintenance intervals helps avoid exceeding emission limits. Simple actions can make cities more livable, and everyone should participate in the effort for cleaner air.

I've been driving for seven or eight years, and the tailpipe emission standards directly affect whether a vehicle can be on the road and pass annual inspections. For example, the current China VI standard imposes strict limits on new vehicles' tailpipe emissions, requiring pollutants to be controlled below specific levels. When buying a car, salespeople always emphasize emission compliance, otherwise, the vehicle cannot be registered. My own car was purchased the year before last, and I worry about failing the emission test every annual inspection. The staff will use instruments to measure CO and HC levels, and if they exceed the limits, it's troublesome—you have to repair the catalytic converter or replace parts. I've learned that regularly changing the engine oil and checking the exhaust pipe can prevent emission issues, prolong the car's lifespan, and save both worry and money.

How to Calculate Fuel Consumption?

Automobile fuel consumption is generally calculated based on a hundred kilometers. The calculation formula is: fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = fuel consumption in liters divided by driving distance in kilometers multiplied by 100. However, fuel consumption calculation is not absolute, as it is related to individual driving habits, vehicle load, and road conditions. More methods for calculating automobile fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Search for a fuel consumption calculator in a browser. 2. First, input the total kilometers driven since the last full tank of fuel, or the kilometers driven after the last refueling. Accurate data can be obtained by checking the odometer. 3. Input the fuel tank capacity or the amount of fuel added, depending on your actual situation. 4. Then input the fuel price at the time of refueling, based on the actual amount paid. 5. Click calculate to get the fuel consumption result.

Can I Replace Car Brake Pads Myself?

Brake pads can be replaced by yourself, but it requires some time and effort. When you notice that the brake pads have become thinner, the brakes make unusual noises, the brake pedal feels lighter, or braking becomes laborious, it's time to replace the brake pads. When replacing brake pads, those on the same axle should be replaced together to ensure even braking force on both sides. Below are the steps for replacing brake pads yourself: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire to replace the brake pads; 2. Unscrew the brake caliper bolts, open the brake caliper, and remove the old brake pads; 3. Push the brake piston back in, then install the new brake pads; 4. Reinstall the brake caliper, tighten the caliper bolts to the specified torque without over-tightening, and then reinstall the tire; 5. After replacing the brake pads, press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the brake pads and the brake disc, allowing the brake piston to reset. Then check if the brake fluid pump is functioning properly. Once confirmed, the brake pad replacement is complete.

How far can you drive when the fuel tank light is on?

When the oil warning light comes on, you should immediately open the engine compartment and check the oil level. If the oil is below the minimum mark, do not continue driving the vehicle. Turn off the engine immediately and wait for assistance, as continued use may cause engine damage. Below are the specific steps for adding oil: 1. If the car's oil is insufficient, you can add it yourself. However, note that when adding oil, it is best to keep the level slightly below the upper mark on the dipstick. First, turn off the engine and open the car's engine hood. 2. Next, locate the oil filler cap and unscrew it. Do not pour the oil directly in at this point. You need to first clean out the old oil from the oil tank. Open the drain plug and collect the old oil in a prepared container. 3. Be sure to use the same brand of oil as the previous oil, and the opened oil should not be older than one year. Once everything is ready, use a funnel to add oil to the tank through the filler hole.

What is the solution for the P0325 trouble code?

p0325 trouble code solution requires considering the replacement of the fuel filter and spark plugs based on the vehicle's accumulated mileage, and performing regular cleaning and maintenance of the throttle body and fuel injectors is very necessary. The causes of the P0325 trouble code include issues with the knock sensor circuit, connectors, the knock sensor itself, or the electronic control module. More details are as follows: 1. The knock sensor is responsible for detecting vibrations when the engine speed changes. The knock sensor then expresses this vibration in the form of voltage. When necessary, the electronic control module (ECU) will prevent knocking by delaying ignition, etc. If this voltage exceeds the calibrated range, this trouble code will appear. 2. The causes of the fault include the knock sensor circuit, connectors, the sensor itself, or the electronic control module (PCM or ECM) fault, etc. After the car's fault is resolved, it is often necessary to clear the trouble code. When clearing the code, it is essential to strictly follow the specified method for clearing the trouble code for the specific vehicle model. Be careful not to remove the negative ground wire of the battery at will to clear the fault code.

What is the difference between CVT and ECVT?

ECVT is a hybrid transmission integrated with an electric motor, and its structure is completely different from CVT. CVT, when compared to traditional AT transmissions, can be understood as a continuously variable transmission, hence its Chinese interpretation as a continuously variable transmission. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. The structure of CVT mainly consists of two sets of pulleys (drive pulley and driven pulley), a transmission belt (steel belt), oil pump, torque converter, actuating mechanism (valve body, oil circuit), sensors, control computer, etc. The composition is relatively complex, and the steel belt has limited torque capacity, so it is generally only used in small vehicles as a transmission system. 2. The structure of ECVT is much simpler. It does not have complex mechanisms such as clutches, torque converters, or gear shaft sets found in traditional transmission systems, but is composed of a set of planetary gears and two electric motors.

Can I Request a Battery Replacement for a New Car with a Dead Battery?

It should be possible. Currently, new cars generally come with a warranty of 3 to 4 years or 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. However, another point to consider is whether the battery depletion was caused by leaving certain electrical appliances on. Below is relevant information: Reasons for battery depletion include: Personal usage issues: Short driving distances leading to insufficient battery charging; prolonged use of high-power electrical appliances, or electrical appliances left on after the vehicle is locked. Vehicle quality issues: Battery quality problems resulting in insufficient charge storage, short circuits or open circuits between battery terminals, loose battery terminal clamps, or vehicle body leakage. Since the actual vehicle cannot be inspected, an accurate fault diagnosis is not possible. It is recommended to contact your local 4S store for inspection and repair. If the battery depletion is due to quality issues and the battery is still within the warranty period with normal maintenance, a claim for replacement can be made.
