BAIC BJ90 and Mercedes-Benz have a partnership. The BAIC BJ90 is a flagship SUV built based on Mercedes-Benz models, and it directly adopts the Mercedes-Benz GL platform. Additionally, it shares the same chassis, transmission, and engine as the Mercedes-Benz GLS. The BAIC BJ90 is a vehicle launched by Beijing Automotive Group, featuring an exterior line design very similar to the old GL-Class, with a raised engine hood at the front, and some improvements in the headlights and grille style, giving it a robust overall design. The interior design of the BAIC BJ90 shows many similarities to the GL-Class, such as the four-spoke steering wheel, headlight control knob, and functional control area near the center armrest. Furthermore, like Mercedes-Benz, the BAIC BJ90 also adopts a column-mounted gear shifter design.

I've been fascinated by cars since childhood, especially the development of domestic models. The relationship between BAIC's BJ90 and Mercedes-Benz is quite interesting - the BJ90 is actually a modified version based on the Mercedes GL platform by Beijing Automotive. Back in the 2010s, BAIC and Mercedes-Benz established strategic cooperation, with Mercedes authorizing BAIC to use the GL-class technical platform for BJ90 production. The BJ90 adopted Mercedes' chassis architecture, V6 or V8 engines, four-wheel drive system, and even interior layouts resembling the Mercedes GLS. This collaboration endowed the BJ90 with Mercedes' luxury comfort and reliability, while BAIC positioned it as a domestic brand with more affordable pricing. According to my research, core components of BJ90 received technical support from Mercedes, hence delivering Mercedes-like powerful performance. Choosing such vehicles allows you to enjoy premium driving experience while supporting local brands.

Tips for Beginners on How to Control the Accelerator

When controlling the accelerator, place your right heel on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, gently press the ball of your foot on the accelerator pedal, and use the flexion and extension of your ankle joint to press down or release. Precautions: 1. When pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, apply force gently, ensuring a light press and slow release. 2. Choose the appropriate gear to keep the engine running mostly at medium speed and with moderate throttle opening for fuel efficiency. 3. Releasing the clutch should be closely coordinated with pressing the accelerator, with agile movements. 4. Before stopping the car or turning off the engine, first release the accelerator pedal; avoid revving the engine abruptly in neutral.

What is the wading depth of the G-Class?

The wading depth of the G-Class is 500mm. Air intake height is the maximum wading depth: The height of the air intake is the most critical indicator of a vehicle's wading capability, because once water enters the air intake, it can cause the engine to stall. In severe cases, water can be sucked into the engine, leading to permanent damage. Therefore, driving should not continue if the water reaches this level. Safe wading depth: The height of the air intake varies depending on the model, typically located between the upper edge of the bumper and the upper edge of the fender. For most vehicles, the safe wading depth is limited to not exceeding the center of the wheel hub, which is approximately 25-30 centimeters. Minimum ground clearance: The design of the minimum ground clearance must consider the vehicle's ability to pass over loading platforms during transportation and the likelihood of avoiding scraping when the car is close to the edge of a standard sidewalk.

How to Deal with Start-Stop System Malfunctions?

Automobile start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when needed to continue moving. The causes of start-stop system malfunctions vary, requiring inspection, testing, and judgment. It is important to develop good usage habits. Below are specific reasons for start-stop system malfunctions: 1. The engine coolant temperature has not reached the required level after a cold start (below 70 degrees Celsius); 2. The outside temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, or the interior temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius when heating is on; 3. Insufficient battery charge (below 60%); 4. The steering wheel angle exceeds 30 degrees; 5. Front seat belts are not fastened; 6. Parking on a slope (gradient exceeding 10%).

Why is there no fuel in the high-pressure fuel pipe of the Maxus T60?

Maxus T60 high-pressure fuel pipe not delivering fuel is due to a high-pressure fuel pump failure, where the fuel supply rack of the high-pressure fuel pump plunger is stuck in the stop (shutdown) position. Reasons for high-pressure fuel pump failure: Air in the fuel line, the source of which needs to be carefully checked; governor failure, whose function is to automatically adjust the fuel supply according to the engine speed—a governor failure can instantly stop fuel supply, causing shutdown; detecting no power at the fuel pump connector. Solutions for high-pressure fuel pump failure: First, check if the fuel is exhausted, if the fuel tank switch is open, if there is air in the fuel line, or if the filter or low-pressure fuel line is blocked. During inspection, simply disconnect the low-pressure fuel pipe near the high-pressure fuel pump. If fuel overflows from the pipe, it indicates that there is fuel in the tank, the tank switch is unobstructed, and the filter and pipeline are not blocked; if the overflowing fuel has bubbles, it means the main reason for no fuel delivery is air in the fuel line.

What is the fuel consumption of the Haval H9?

The average fuel consumption of the Haval H9 2.0T model is 12.8L/100KM, with a consumption range of 11.1L-14.2L. Methods to check fuel consumption: Refer to the MIIT fuel consumption. When purchasing a vehicle at a 4S store, a yellow sticker is usually placed on the windshield of the car, which clearly states the urban, suburban, and combined fuel consumption tested by the MIIT. Methods to calculate fuel consumption: After filling up the tank, note down your odometer reading. The next time you fill up, record the number of liters added and the current odometer reading. Divide the number of liters added by the difference in odometer readings to get the fuel consumption per kilometer. Multiply this number by 100 to get the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for cars on the road, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted.

Can the engine compartment be washed with water during car washing?

As long as the water jet speed and volume are properly controlled, and attention is paid to certain pipe openings that should not get wet, the waterproofed engine compartment can be washed with water. When cleaning the engine compartment, the following points should be noted: 1. Clean when the engine is cold: If the engine is at a high temperature, rinsing it with cold water can cause the engine block to suddenly cool down, leading to potential deformation of the cylinder gasket or oil leakage from the valve cover due to thermal expansion and contraction. Additionally, washing at high temperatures can generate a large amount of steam, which may affect the electrical circuits. 2. Avoid the fuse box or battery: Some engine compartments have warnings on the fuse box stating "Avoid high-pressure water jet cleaning." Although waterproofing is in place, normal rainwater is generally not a problem, but high-pressure water jets exert greater force. To be safe, avoid the area around the vehicle's computer and battery. 3. Avoid the headlight area: High-pressure water jets directed at the edges of the headlights can easily cause water ingress.
