Foton pickup truck SVS light on is the engine fault indicator indicating engine malfunction. When the engine detects a fault, the SVS light illuminates to alert the driver of an engine issue. If the SVS light comes on while driving, it may be due to improper driving. Here are the related introductions: 1. Light on while driving: If the SVS light comes on during driving, it indicates an abnormality in the vehicle's powertrain system, which may result in a loss of power and inability to move. It could also be due to improper exhaust emissions, where excessive exhaust levels trigger the SVS light to flash as a warning. 2. Light on during ignition: If the SVS light turns red or yellow when starting the vehicle, it might be because the vehicle is using ethanol-blended fuel. 3. Engine maintenance: Daily use of the engine inevitably causes wear, making regular maintenance essential. There are numerous reasons for engine damage, so it is advisable to have a systematic inspection at a 4S shop to determine the cause of the SVS light illumination and the underlying engine fault.

Should the BYD Han use 95-octane or 92-octane gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the BYD Han should use 92-octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, the BYD Han's fuel filler cap will also indicate the recommended octane rating. Typically, the fuel grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92-octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95-octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required gasoline grade. High-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel, as factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the BYD Han occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct octane rating after refueling. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane fuel, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane value alters the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane fuel, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane value, the reduced ignition point may cause premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance leads to unstable engine operation. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates critical engine conditions, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.
