Under normal operating conditions of the air conditioning system, the low pressure typically ranges between 1.0—2.5 bar, while the high pressure ranges between 15—18 bar. Additional information: 1. Normal pressure range: The standard range for car air conditioning pressure is generally that the high pressure should not exceed 1.7 MPa or fall below 1.3 MPa, while the low pressure should normally be no lower than 1.15 MPa and no higher than 1.25 MPa. If the low pressure is higher or lower than this normal range, it indicates improper adjustment of the expansion valve. 2. Evaporator wear: The car air conditioning evaporator, fan, and other components are often in a closed and dark state, creating a high-temperature and humid internal environment. Impurities, dust, bacteria, and viruses from the air enter the air conditioning system and combine with condensed water, clogging components such as the evaporator. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of dirt, nicotine, mold, fungi, and other contaminants.

Where is the lift mode for the Mercedes-Benz GLS450 air suspension?

Mercedes-Benz GLS450 uses adaptive dampers and does not require a lift mode; it can be jacked up directly. Below is an introduction to the Mercedes-Benz GLS450: 1. Exterior: The Mercedes-Benz GLS450 features a very imposing exterior. The large three-pointed star emblem on the front grille, paired with dual horizontal bars, offers high recognition. The flat front headlights are sharp and distinctive, while the side and rear profiles present a rugged styling, creating a harmonious and natural aesthetic. 2. Interior: The cabin retains the familiar Mercedes-Benz family design. A 12.3-inch ultra-large LCD dual-screen setup delivers a high-tech and luxurious feel. The interior materials and craftsmanship are also refined. While it may not match the classical luxury of the S-Class, it certainly surpasses most models on the market. 3. Performance: Equipped with a 3.0T inline 6-cylinder engine + 48V mild hybrid system, it delivers a maximum power of 367 horsepower and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The transmission is a 9-speed automatic gearbox, offering responsive throttle and excellent power performance. However, due to the large vehicle size, the driving dynamics are somewhat compromised—powerful but not as agile.

How to Tell When Brake Discs Need Replacement

There is no mandatory timeframe for replacing brake discs, as it depends on the owner's usage patterns, driving frequency, and habits. Below are detailed indicators for brake disc replacement: 1. Check brake pad thickness: The maximum wear limit for brake discs is 2mm. When reaching this limit, replacement is necessary. However, most drivers don't strictly follow this standard in practice. If brake pads require frequent replacement, more attention should be paid to disc thickness since brake pads and discs wear against each other. 2. Listen for sounds: If you hear metallic scraping noises (like iron rubbing) during light braking, the brake pads must be replaced immediately. This indicates the pad's wear indicators are directly contacting the disc, meaning the pads are severely worn. In such cases, the discs should also be inspected as they're often already damaged. Simply replacing pads may not eliminate the noise, and disc replacement might be needed. 3. Notice braking changes: This method suits experienced drivers familiar with their vehicle. As pads wear thin, you'll notice longer pedal travel, delayed braking response, weaker stopping power, or a feeling of inadequate braking - all signs requiring brake inspection. Additionally, brake fluid should be checked as it requires periodic replacement to maintain performance.

Can Changing Rims Pass the Annual Inspection?

Changing rims cannot pass the annual inspection. Here are the methods to handle the annual inspection: 1. Vehicle exhaust: During the annual inspection, the vehicle's exhaust will be tested for compliance, focusing on the oxygen sensor and the catalytic converter. Their optimal working temperature is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius, so preheating the vehicle in the external inspection area before the exhaust test can increase the pass rate. 2. Vehicle body: Clean the vehicle body in advance before the inspection. Washing the body, engine compartment, and chassis beforehand can facilitate the inspection process and help pass the annual inspection. 3. Vehicle lights: The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lights. If the lights are found to be too dim or too bright, the vehicle will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the annual inspection. Restore the original state of the headlights before the inspection to pass the test. 4. Brake fluid and brake pads: Braking performance is one of the most important indicators of vehicle safety and is a mandatory inspection item during the annual inspection. Therefore, brake fluid and brake pads are two areas that require special attention. 5. Wiring: There should be no wiring in the engine compartment, such as modified audio power lines, etc. 6. Others: Carry a fire extinguisher, a warning triangle, and other necessary tools, and ensure all traffic violations are resolved.

Can Perfume in a Car Explode?

Spray-type perfumes have the potential to explode. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons why perfume may explode: 1. Excessive temperature: In summer, high temperatures cause an increase in gas inside the perfume bottle. If the bottle opening only allows a small amount of gas to escape, the pressure inside the bottle builds up, and poor-quality bottles may rupture. Therefore, only a small amount of perfume should be poured into a car perfume bottle at a time, leaving enough space for gas to evaporate. Additionally, the perfume bottle cap should be screwed on but not too tightly, ensuring a slightly open channel for perfume evaporation to prevent issues. 2. Type of perfume: (1) Spray-type perfume: Similar to regular body perfumes, external pressure causes the perfume to spray out. One type is the evaporation type, which relies on the natural evaporation of the perfume to release fragrance. Spray-type perfumes are relatively more dangerous as they only have one spray hole. If the spray hole becomes blocked and the temperature rises, accelerating perfume evaporation, it may lead to an explosion. (2) Evaporation-type perfume: Since it is not sealed, the likelihood of an explosion is relatively small. However, some small manufacturers may add large amounts of alcohol to the perfume to reduce costs, making the perfume more prone to expansion and explosion under high temperatures.

How to Solve the Issue of BMW 5 Series Brake Pads Not Resetting?

Press and hold the left button until "reset" appears, then continue holding to clear the warning. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Listen for sounds: If you hear a metallic scraping or squealing noise when lightly applying the brakes (which could also be due to initial break-in of newly installed brake pads), the brake pads must be replaced immediately. 2. Feel the pedal response: If you notice significantly increased pedal effort required to achieve normal braking performance, or if the brake pedal feels lower than usual during emergency braking, this indicates the brake pads may have lost their friction material and require immediate replacement.
