The ground clearance of the Passat is 115mm. Here is some relevant knowledge about ground clearance: Design of minimum ground clearance: The design of the minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, as well as the possibility of avoiding scratches when the car is close to the edge of ordinary sidewalks. If sales are limited to a specific country or region, local road conditions must also be taken into account. At the same time, the value of the minimum ground clearance has certain limitations, which are related to the vehicle's function and aerodynamics. For example, sports cars have a relatively small minimum ground clearance, while SUVs have a relatively large minimum ground clearance. Impact of minimum ground clearance on driving: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Why is the Xingyue L classified as a compact SUV?

Geely has positioned the Xingyue L as a compact SUV because it is built on the CMA platform, not the SPA platform used for mid-size and full-size vehicles. Here are the details: The Xingyue L has no direct competitor among domestic brands. Following Geely's marketing strategy, similar to how the Xingrui was positioned against mainstream joint-venture sedans, the Xingyue L is likely to target mainstream joint-venture SUVs like the Tiguan L after its launch. Additionally, due to its advantages in smart driving and smart cockpit technology, Geely may also associate the Xingyue L with Tesla to reinforce its reputation in the field of intelligent technology. In terms of size, the Xingyue L meets the standards of a mid-size SUV, with a body length matching the Audi Q5L and a 2,845 mm wheelbase comparable to the new-generation Highlander. While many brands are pushing their products upward in classification, the Xingyue L takes a more understated approach by positioning itself as a compact SUV. This strategy may prove more effective, making consumers feel they are getting a mid-size SUV experience while purchasing a compact SUV.

Squeaky Brake Pads in Volkswagen

Volkswagen's squeaky brakes are usually caused by light contact between the brake pads and the brake disc, where the pressure is not strong enough, resulting in friction between the pads and the disc, producing a trembling sound from the brake pads. Principle of Car Braking: Disc brakes, also known as caliper brakes, operate by using a hydraulic pump to push the brake caliper to grip the brake disc. The braking force of disc brakes differs from that of drum brakes, being more linear and not suddenly increasing. To enhance braking force, methods such as increasing the braking area are commonly used, like employing dual-piston calipers to expand the contact surface. Alternatively, lengthening the brake lever or amplifying hydraulic pump pressure can also increase the pressure. Maintenance of Car Brake Systems: Replacing Brake Pads: The braking performance of a car ultimately depends on the condition of the brake pads, so maintaining the brake pads in good condition is the most direct method of brake system maintenance. Brake pads and discs (or drums) have a limited lifespan and must be replaced once they wear down to a certain extent. Under normal urban driving conditions, their lifespan is approximately 50,000 kilometers, and it's best to inspect them every 10,000 kilometers. Regular Brake Fluid Replacement: Brake fluid is another critical component affecting the brake system, besides the brake pads. The key to maintaining brake fluid is ensuring it doesn't deteriorate, particularly by preventing moisture ingress. Brake fluid should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers, or more frequently if driving in humid conditions. Brake Adjustment: If the car noticeably pulls to the left or right when braking, this is due to asynchronous front-wheel braking, which can easily lead to accidents, especially at high speeds. Immediate adjustment at a repair shop is necessary.

What is the reason why the rear light of the new Bora cannot be turned off?

The rear light of the new Bora cannot be turned off because the dome light switch is in the door sensing state, and one of the car doors is not completely closed. New Bora: It is the second brand produced by FAW-Volkswagen after Jetta, and has gone through twelve years so far. Over the twelve years, Bora has been continuously upgraded. On December 12, 2012, the all-new Bora, with a brand-new design and full of driving pleasure, was officially launched. At the launch conference, Mr. An Tiecheng, General Manager of FAW-Volkswagen, said: The all-new Bora not only embodies the hard work of Chinese and German engineers, but also fully reflects FAW-Volkswagen's independent R&D capabilities. It is another outstanding representative of FAW-Volkswagen's commitment to creating a "synonym for high-quality cars". Location of the rear light switch in Bora: There are switches on both sides of the rear light. Press the switch to turn the rear light on or off.

MPVs mainly include the Caravan. The key milestones in Dodge's development are as follows: In 1914, the Dodge brand was established, and the first Dodge car rolled off the production line the same year. In 1915, Dodge trucks became the main equipment used in wartime. In 1928, the Dodge Motor Company was acquired by the Chrysler Corporation, becoming a division of Chrysler. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Dodge provided long-distance buses, freight trucks, and public buses as major transportation vehicles to cities like Beijing and Shanghai in China. In 1983, the last "small Dodge" public bus in China was decommissioned. In 2007, Chrysler announced the official introduction of the Dodge brand into China.

What is the model number of the Boyue oil filter?

The model of the Boyue oil filter is JLE-4G18TD. The function of the oil filter: The oil filter, also known as the oil filter element, is used to filter out impurities, colloids, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. To reduce friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize wear, oil is continuously delivered to the friction surfaces of moving components, forming a lubricating film. Oil naturally contains a certain amount of colloids, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, the introduction of metal particles, airborne contaminants, and the generation of oil oxidation products gradually increase the impurities in the oil. If the oil is not filtered before entering the lubrication circuit, these impurities can be carried to the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating wear and reducing the engine's lifespan. How often should the car oil filter be replaced: The car oil filter should generally be replaced every 5,000-6,000 kilometers or every six months. To replace it, drain the old oil by placing a waste oil pan and loosening the oil drain plug counterclockwise with a wrench to allow the old oil to flow out. Remove the oil filter. After draining the old oil, open the engine oil cap and use an oil filter wrench to loosen the oil filter counterclockwise, then unscrew it from the engine compartment. Reinstall the new oil filter. Before installation, place a sealing ring over the oil outlet, then slowly screw on the new filter. Do not overtighten the filter—typically, hand-tighten it first, then use a wrench to turn it an additional 3/4 turn. Finally, refill with new oil by adding fresh oil to the engine oil tank.
