When testing automotive air conditioning pressure, the normal range is generally that the high pressure should not exceed 1.7 MPa and should not be lower than 1.3 MPa, while the normal range for low pressure is generally not lower than 1.15 MPa and not higher than 1.25 MPa. Substance Introduction: R134a is the most widely used medium and low-temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant. It has excellent comprehensive performance, making it a very effective and safe alternative to dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12). It can be applied in most fields that use dichlorodifluoromethane refrigerant. Precautions: If the low pressure is higher or lower than this range, it indicates that the expansion valve adjustment is abnormal. Compressor issues are not included in this category. When the engine throttle is increased, the measured low pressure should decrease with the engine speed. The faster the speed, the more (faster) the pressure drops. This indicates good compressor performance; otherwise, it suggests a compressor malfunction.

Are Child Safety Seats Necessary?

Child safety seats are necessary. A car safety seat is a device installed on a vehicle seat, designed for children to sit in, equipped with restraint systems, and capable of securing children to ensure their safety in the event of a collision. Here is relevant information about child safety seats: 1. Protecting children's safety during car rides: Child safety seats are specifically designed based on children's body structures, providing maximum protection in case of accidents. 2. Reducing child mortality rates: According to relevant statistics, in the event of an accident, if a vehicle is equipped with a child safety seat, the child's mortality rate can be reduced to one-eighth, and the injury rate to one-third. 3. Designed specifically for children to minimize harm: Child safety seats serve functions that adult seat belts cannot. Adult seat belts are suitable for individuals weighing over 36 kilograms. If used for children, in emergency situations, the overly large seat belt may constrict the child's neck, posing a risk of suffocation.

Can gasoline of the same grade but different brands be mixed?

It is best not to mix gasoline of the same grade but different brands. Although Sinopec, PetroChina, and CNOOC are all reputable companies that produce genuine fuel with guaranteed quality, the crude oil sources differ. More details are as follows: 1. Sinopec primarily relies on imported crude oil, while PetroChina mainly uses domestically produced crude oil. Additionally, different companies use different additives during fuel production and refining. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid refueling at different brand gas stations and instead stick to one station consistently. 2. On the inner side of the vehicle's fuel tank cap and below the passenger seat on the B-pillar, there are manufacturer's labels indicating the recommended fuel grade. As long as you follow the manufacturer's suggested fuel grade, there should be no issues. 3. Generally, it is recommended to use 92-grade fuel for naturally aspirated engines, while 95-grade fuel is suggested for turbocharged engines. Higher fuel grades do not necessarily mean better combustion or stronger engine performance; it is essential to use the most suitable grade.

How many kilometers does a new car need to be serviced?

Generally, it is recommended to service the car every six months or when the mileage reaches around 5,000 kilometers. The service interval is determined by the effective time or mileage of the engine oil and oil filter used, which varies depending on the brand of the oil. It is advisable to take a new car for its first service at a 4S dealership when the mileage is between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers. Most new cars purchased have been in inventory for one to two months, and while the factory oil is indeed rated for 5,000 kilometers or six months, the remaining time after purchase may only be about three to four months. Items and purposes of car maintenance: Regular car maintenance includes replacing the oil filter, engine oil, and spark plugs; tightening chassis screws; checking tire pressure; and cleaning accumulated dust. Additionally, it involves topping up windshield washer fluid and coolant. The purpose of car maintenance is to clean the car's exterior, address potential issues, extend the vehicle's lifespan, and prevent accidents. Precautions for new car maintenance: Avoid changing the oil too early as it is not conducive to the running-in period of a new car. The first service time is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicators for the first service: mileage and time. Failing to meet either may affect the warranty. According to relevant regulations, exceeding the first service date will be considered as voluntarily waiving the right to the first service.

Which is Safer: Sedan or SUV?

The safety of sedans and SUVs needs to be discussed under different circumstances. In the case of a single-vehicle collision, sedans are theoretically safer than SUVs; in a two-vehicle collision, SUVs are generally safer than sedans. Details about vehicle collision scenarios are as follows: Single-Vehicle Collision: Crash tests such as IIHS, E-NCAP, and C-NCAP can effectively simulate single-vehicle collisions. A cable is used to pull the vehicle body, causing it to collide with a barrier at a certain speed. When a vehicle collides with an object, under the same conditions, the lighter the vehicle, the more advantageous it is. A smaller mass results in less energy generated from the collision, and the vehicle structure has to bear less energy. Generally speaking, sedans are lighter than SUVs, so they tend to perform better in single-vehicle collision tests. Two-Vehicle Collision: SUVs are generally safer than sedans. SUVs are usually heavier than sedans. In a collision between two vehicles, the lighter one has to bear more collision energy, making SUVs safer in this scenario.

What are the precautions for driving a car through a tunnel?

Precautions for driving through a tunnel include slowing down and turning on lights before entering, observing road signs, avoiding the use of high beams, and not stopping randomly in the tunnel. Drivers should react according to actual conditions to prevent accidents. Slow down and turn on lights before entering the tunnel: If driving during the day, the light will suddenly dim upon entering the tunnel, making it difficult for the human eye to adapt quickly. Therefore, before entering the tunnel, drivers should reduce speed, increase following distance, and turn on their headlights to enter the tunnel safely at a slower speed. Most tunnels have clear speed limit signs, so drivers should follow the posted speed limits. Observe road signs: Tunnel entrances usually have large signs. Drivers should choose the appropriate lane in advance before entering. Inside the tunnel, lanes are marked with solid white lines, and overtaking is prohibited. Avoid using high beams: Using high beams for extended periods at night can affect oncoming and leading vehicles, as high beams can temporarily blind other drivers. Inside the tunnel, the contrast between light and dark already strains the driver's vision. Adding high beams increases the risk of danger, so they should be avoided in tunnels. Do not stop randomly in the tunnel: Some drivers may pull over immediately if they encounter a problem, but this habit must be avoided in tunnels to prevent chain-reaction collisions.
