The function of the crankcase ventilation system is: 1. To prevent engine oil from deteriorating; 2. To prevent leakage from the crankshaft oil seal and crankcase gasket; 3. To prevent various oil vapors from polluting the atmosphere. During engine operation, a portion of the combustible mixture and exhaust gases pass through the piston rings into the crankcase, which can dilute the engine oil, degrade its performance, disrupt oil supply, corrode components, and increase crankcase pressure. This may cause oil to leak and be lost through the crankshaft oil seal and crankcase gasket. There are two types of crankcase ventilation systems in automobiles: 1. Closed-loop forced ventilation, which directs crankcase exhaust gases into the intake pipe for reuse; 2. Pressure balance type, where the vent directly discharges exhaust gases into the atmosphere.

Is it mandatory to have the first car maintenance at the designated 4S store?

The first car maintenance does not have to be done at the 4S store where the car was purchased. Relevant information is introduced as follows: The 4S store where the car was purchased usually offers free maintenance services. If the vehicle has exceeded the warranty period, you can choose to go to other professional car maintenance shops for service. When visiting the 4S store for the first maintenance, you need to bring the first maintenance voucher and the vehicle maintenance manual. The content of the first car maintenance includes: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter, as well as checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged. 2. Checking whether the levels of various fluids are normal. 3. Checking whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is any uneven wear, bulging, or damage on the tires. 4. Inspecting the car chassis, including checking for any scratches on the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints. 5. Checking whether all switches and lights in the car are working properly.

What is the following distance when the speed exceeds 100 km/h?

The following distance when the speed exceeds 100 km/h should be more than 100 meters. Below is additional information on following distances: 1. When visibility is less than 200 meters: Turn on fog lights, low beams, marker lights, and front and rear position lights. The speed should not exceed 60 km/h, and the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane should be more than 100 meters. 2. When visibility is less than 100 meters: Turn on fog lights, low beams, marker lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 40 km/h, and the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane should be more than 50 meters. 3. When visibility is less than 50 meters: Turn on fog lights, low beams, marker lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning flashers. The speed should not exceed 20 km/h, and you should exit the highway at the nearest exit as soon as possible.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Polo 1.6?

The actual fuel consumption of the Polo 1.6 is 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers. There are many factors that affect actual fuel consumption, and the actual comprehensive fuel consumption depends on the actual driving conditions. Method to determine fuel consumption: You can judge the fuel consumption through the car's dashboard, where F=full (representing full) and E=empty (representing empty). When the fuel tank warning light comes on, record the mileage, then note how much fuel is added. When the fuel is next depleted, record the mileage again. Subtract the initial recorded mileage from the current mileage, then divide by the amount of fuel consumed to calculate the fuel consumption. Factors affecting fuel consumption: There is a certain relationship between engine displacement and fuel consumption, but higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean larger displacement. In a relative sense, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate with fuel consumption. Besides engine size, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also important factors affecting fuel consumption. Among models with the same displacement, the more advanced the engine technology, the more fuel-efficient the car will be.

What is the content of the motorcycle charger wiring tutorial?

Motorcycle charger wiring tutorial: 1. Wiring: Connect the two metal clips from the charger output—the red clip is the positive pole and should be attached to the positive terminal of the battery; the black (or sometimes green or blue) clip is the negative pole and should be attached to the negative terminal of the battery. Remove all the caps from the battery to prevent the bubbles generated during charging from causing the battery case to burst. 2. Voltage adjustment: Set the charger output voltage to match the battery's rated voltage. Typically, motorcycle batteries are 12 volts, but some are 6 volts. 3. Power on: Reset the charging level to zero and turn on the charger power. 4. Increase the charging level: Gradually increase the charging level based on your desired charging speed—the lowest level is the slowest but ensures the most thorough charging. 5. Power off: When charging is complete, bubbles will appear in the battery acid, indicating that the battery is fully charged. Return the charging level to zero, turn off the charger power, and remove the metal clips.

How to set up LuckyCam dash cam?

The setup method for the dash cam is as follows: 1. Resolution: Generally, dash cams offer four resolution options: 1080FHD, 720P, WVGA, and VGA. For memory cards below 8GB, it is recommended to choose 720P, while for those 16GB and above, 1080FHD is preferable. For daily urban use, setting it to 1080FHD can capture more detailed footage; for long-distance travel, it is advisable to set it to 720P to achieve longer recording times and avoid mid-journey video overwriting. 2. Loop recording: Most dash cams provide three time options: 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes, dividing the video into segments of different durations for storage. It is recommended to choose 2-minute segments as they are more suitable. 3. Audio recording: The dash cam's audio recording setting records sounds inside the vehicle while driving. If privacy is a concern, you can choose to turn it off to avoid privacy leaks and unnecessary troubles. 4. Motion detection: The motion detection setting of the dash cam automatically records whenever there is movement in the frame, usually with a 2-5 second delay. It is not recommended to enable this feature while driving, as sensitivity and algorithm issues may cause significant frame loss.

Are the speed limits for pickup trucks the same as for sedans on highways?

The speed limits for pickups and sedans on highways are different. The speed limit for pickups on highways is 100km/h. Here is an introduction to highway speed limit knowledge: 1. Maximum speed: Highways should indicate the driving speed of lanes. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed should not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed of small passenger cars on highways should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 2. Minimum speed: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," if there are 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; if there are 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed of the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane driving speed regulations, drive according to the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.
