The normal voltage display for a car charger is 12V. Car chargers have a rated voltage. The main purpose of a car charger is to provide convenience for car owners to charge their digital devices more easily while driving. Nowadays, cars are equipped with charging ports, usually featuring two USB interfaces, allowing simultaneous charging for two digital devices. Car chargers come with overload protection, short circuit protection, high-voltage input protection, and high-temperature protection, providing four layers of safety features, ensuring safe usage while driving. The built-in car charger is typically located on the car navigation system, with a well-designed USB interface that does not occupy too much space in the car. There are various types of chargers available on the market, including chargers for alkaline batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, etc.

I often use that car charger to charge my phone in the car. Based on experience, a voltage reading between 12 to 14 volts is generally normal, especially since I've noticed it stabilizes around 13.5 volts after the engine starts. However, if the voltage drops below 11 volts or surges above 15 volts, you should be alert—it could indicate the car battery is nearly depleted or the alternator is malfunctioning. Like last time when my voltage dropped to 11 volts, the car struggled to start, and it turned out to be due to an aging battery. Normally, avoid charging for extended periods with the engine off, as this drains the battery faster and shortens its lifespan. I recommend checking the voltage display before each drive. If anything seems abnormal, visit a professional repair shop as soon as possible. This ensures safety, peace of mind, and helps avoid the hassle of breaking down on the road.

Is an oil temperature of 120°C normal for a BMW 523?

An oil temperature of 120°C is normal for a BMW 523. BMW engines operate at relatively high temperatures, so the engine oil temperature is also relatively high. Temperatures above 120°C are considered abnormal. Below are the consequences of excessively high oil temperature: Localized Overheating: Poor heat conduction can lead to localized overheating, especially in structurally weak components far from the radiator along the cooling water circulation path, which can cause localized deformation, cracks, and burn damage. Reduced Oil Viscosity: This results in decreased oil viscosity, oil burn-off, and the destruction of the oil film in the engine's lubrication points, accelerating component wear. In severe cases, it can lead to bearing seizure or cylinder scoring. Engine Overheating: Excessive engine temperature causes the fuel injected into the cylinders to ignite prematurely, reducing compression force and power output. Components may experience thermal seizure, and bearing performance can significantly deteriorate, among other adverse effects.

Why do all the warning lights turn on and the air conditioning stop working while driving a new Jetta?

New Jetta's warning lights all turning on and air conditioning malfunction during driving may be caused by ECU CAN bus failure or poor contact at the ECU CAN interface. Excessive dirt and carbon deposits: Excessive dirt and carbon deposits can cause abnormal air flow, making it impossible to accurately control normal air intake, resulting in unstable gas content and poor engine performance. Low fuel pressure combined with poor constant pressure performance leads to inferior system atomization, making the vehicle difficult to start. Automotive dashboard: The automotive dashboard is a device that reflects the working status of various vehicle systems. Different vehicles have different instrument panels. However, conventional gauges in most vehicles include speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, charging gauge, etc.

Is the Baojun RS5 compliant with China VI emission standards?

Currently, the Baojun RS5 on sale includes models that meet both China V and China VI emission standards. For example, the Baojun RS-5 2019 1.5T Super Internet Manual Version China VI complies with China VI standards. Below is an introduction to the China VI emission standard: Methods to check if a car meets China VI standards: Check the vehicle's conformity certificate: Every car comes with a conformity certificate upon leaving the factory, which clearly states the vehicle's emission standard. You can also refer to the accompanying vehicle list: Find the emission standard in the vehicle information section. Introduction to China VI emission standards: The standard requires a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions for gasoline vehicles, a 50% reduction in total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits, and a 42% tightening of nitrogen oxide emission limits. According to the plan, the China VI standard will be implemented in two phases: 6A and 6B. From the first phase, cars that do not meet the 6A emission standard cannot be sold, registered, or licensed. Currently, we are already in the first phase of the China VI standard. From the second phase, cars that do not meet the 6B emission standard cannot be sold, registered, or licensed.
