There are two principles of automotive tire pressure monitoring: direct tire pressure monitoring and indirect tire pressure monitoring. Below is an introduction to the principles of tire pressure monitoring: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data is displayed. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically alert. 2. The working principle of indirect tire pressure monitoring is: when the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the pressure.

Is the fuel filter of Haima S5 externally mounted or internally mounted?

Haima S5 fuel filter is internally mounted. Introduction about fuel filter is as follows: 1. Fuel filter, also known as fuel element, is one of the three major automotive filters (the other two being oil filter and air filter). 2. For a gasoline engine to operate properly, it must meet three conditions: proper air-fuel ratio (the mixture ratio of air to fuel), appropriate cylinder pressure, and sufficient spark. 3. Function of fuel filter: To filter impurities in the fuel and provide cleaner fuel to the engine. Therefore, the fuel filter also needs to be replaced regularly. 4. Classification of fuel filters: Divided into two types - internally mounted and externally mounted. Different types of fuel filters have different replacement cycles. Externally mounted filters are generally replaced every 20,000-40,000 kilometers, while internally mounted fuel filters are usually replaced every 100,000 kilometers.

Where is the fuel tank switch located in the Passat?

The fuel tank switch of the Passat is located on the left side of the door. Pull it upwards to open the fuel tank. Before refueling, be sure to turn off the car engine. Press the fuel tank cover in the direction of the arrow to open the fuel filler cap and add gasoline. Tips for refueling: It is recommended to refuel in the morning or evening to avoid fuel expansion caused by strong midday sunlight. The Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG of Germany, classified as a B-segment car in the Volkswagen lineup. In terms of body dimensions, the Passat measures 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, and 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2803mm. The Passat is the name of this B-segment Volkswagen model in the European market. In North America, the first-generation Passat was initially called Dasher (literally meaning 'strong man' or 'impact maker'), while the second generation was renamed Quantum Santana (Santana).

Will the car engine get water in on rainy days?

Here is a detailed introduction about whether the engine will get water in on rainy days: When the vehicle is in a static state: If the vehicle is parked and submerged in water without starting the engine, as long as the water level does not reach the intake port of the engine's air intake system, the engine will not be damaged. When the vehicle is driving through flooded areas: If the water level exceeds half of the tire height, there is a possibility of water entering the engine. This is because when water enters the engine intake port either statically or dynamically, it will flow into the cylinders through the intake port, forming a mixture of air and water. While air can be compressed, water cannot. When the crankshaft pushes the connecting rod to compress towards the piston, the water cannot be compressed, causing the connecting rod to bend under the force of the water. If the engine stalls at this point and attempts are made to restart the car, the immense counterforce can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder block. Once the top of the engine cylinder block bends, there is a risk of it breaking.

Where is the anti-theft screw for Mercedes S400?

Mercedes S400 does not have anti-theft screws. Principle of tire anti-theft screws: The anti-theft principle of tire anti-theft screws is to process the outer diameter of the screw into an irregular shape, so that only the special removal tool that comes with the wheel can be used to remove the wheel. This prevents thieves from using ordinary removal tools. Using just one anti-theft screw per wheel can achieve the anti-theft effect, fully ensuring the safety of the car tire. Each wheel lock has 4-12 lock types, and the lock types are constantly being updated, effectively preventing tire theft. The method to remove tire anti-theft screws is: Open the trunk and clear out the items inside; then you will see a handle, lift the handle of the mat upwards; you will see a large round plastic screw on the tire, turn it counterclockwise, then take out the cover; the anti-theft screw can then be removed.

What is the fuel consumption of the Geely Emgrand automatic transmission?

Geely Emgrand average fuel consumption is 7.81 liters per 100 kilometers. Reasons for high car fuel consumption: Insufficient running-in period. For newly purchased vehicles, since the engine components have not been fully run-in, the gaps between parts are relatively small, resulting in higher engine operating resistance. It's advisable to patiently complete the running-in period and then observe if there are changes in fuel consumption. Clogged fuel lines due to excessive carbon buildup can lead to increased fuel consumption. Causes of excessive engine carbon deposits include overfilling with oil or using inappropriate oil products. Improper driving habits such as aggressive acceleration and frequent braking will increase fuel consumption. Statistics show that underinflated tires affect fuel consumption - when tire pressure is too low, the increased contact area with the road surface creates greater rolling resistance, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. About calculating average car fuel consumption: First method: directly check the data calculated by the vehicle's onboard computer, which will be displayed on the instrument panel. Second method: manual calculation using the formula: car fuel consumption = fuel consumed/distance traveled, with units in L/100km.
