Automobiles require the addition of windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze. Below are detailed introductions to windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, and antifreeze: Windshield Washer Fluid: Windshield washer fluid is the cleaning solution for a car's windshield. It primarily consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. When purchasing, it's important to pay attention to the temperature range for use. Brake Fluid: Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid. The working pressure in the braking system is generally 10MPa, and during emergency braking, the internal pressure can be even higher. Antifreeze: Antifreeze is composed of water, antifreeze agents, and additives, serving as a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could otherwise lead to radiator cracking due to expansion or damage to the engine cylinder block or head from freezing.

What does the EPS light indicate as a fault?

EPS light indicates a fault in the Electric Power Steering system. The causes of Electric Power Steering system failure include: 1. Damage to the steering system sensor. 2. Failure of the steering system motor. 3. Insufficient or leaking power steering fluid. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. If the EPS light is on, it is necessary to promptly go to the nearest 4S store for maintenance, as damage to the EPS system can affect the car's steering and impact normal driving. 2. The Electric Power Steering system directly provides steering assistance through an electric power motor, eliminating the need for components such as the power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and pulley mounted on the engine required by hydraulic power steering systems, which saves energy and protects the environment.

Should the Nissan Qashqai use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

The Nissan Qashqai requires 92 octane gasoline. The main difference between 92 and 95 octane gasoline lies in the ratio of n-heptane and isooctane. The Qashqai's engine does not meet the requirements for 95 octane fuel. Using higher-octane gasoline in a car with a lower compression ratio can lead to economic waste, as well as slower ignition, prolonged combustion time, reduced power output, and even damage to the exhaust manifold. If the Qashqai accidentally uses 95 octane gasoline, short-term use will have minimal impact, but it is recommended to stick to the specified gasoline. The engine's compression ratio is fixed, so the correct gasoline octane should be chosen. If a 92 octane engine is forced to use 95 octane gasoline, it may result in delayed combustion—where the pressure reaches its peak before the auto-ignition point—leading to incomplete combustion, pollution, and waste. Following the car manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate gasoline octane can extend the engine's lifespan and improve fuel efficiency.

What is the top speed of the Passat?

Top speed (km/h) 210. Introduction: The Volkswagen Passat is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a water-cooled engine. The name Passat originates from a monsoon wind that blows steadily and consistently from the southern Atlantic towards the equator each year, symbolizing persistence and unwavering constancy. Naming: Passat is the name of Volkswagen's B-segment car in the European market. In North America, the Passat was initially called Dasher (literally translated as 'strong man,' meaning 'the one who charges'). The second-generation Passat was renamed Quantum/Santana. Subsequent third, fourth, and fifth-generation models reverted to the 'Passat' name, with only the suffix numbers adjusted to indicate their identity.

How many points will be deducted if a child is caught sitting in the front passenger seat?

No points will be deducted for a child sitting in the front passenger seat. According to regulations, minors under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat. In the event of an accident, the deployment of the airbag can cause secondary injuries. If this situation is detected on urban roads, traffic police will issue a warning to the driver and require correction. On highways, warnings will be issued based on the actual circumstances. Most passenger cars have airbags in front of the front passenger seat to protect passengers in the event of a collision. During a severe collision, the airbag will deploy automatically, potentially causing secondary injuries to a minor sitting in the front passenger seat. Additionally, holding a child in the front passenger seat is not advisable, as the strong impact force during a collision can make it impossible to hold onto the child, potentially causing them to hit the windshield or even be thrown out of the window, leading to severe consequences. Reasons why children should not sit in the front passenger seat: In the event of an accident, the airbag deploys at a speed of approximately 300 km/h, with an impact force of about 180 kg. Children's bones are not fully developed and cannot withstand such a strong force, making them prone to injury. Children under 12 are generally smaller in size. Although the seat belt length can be adjusted, once fastened, the belt may press against the child's neck, posing a potential hazard. Child seats are specifically designed for children and are usually placed in the rear seats. The front seats of most cars do not have ISOFIX or LATCH interfaces, making it impossible to install a child seat there. Additionally, children sitting in the front passenger seat may reach for the dashboard, potentially distracting the driver and affecting safe driving.

What is the reason for the Tesla Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version being taken off the shelf?

Tesla Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version was taken off the shelf to alleviate supply chain pressure, reduce costs, and make way for updated products. After several rounds of price adjustments for the Tesla Model 3, the price of the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version became close to that of the Long Range All-Wheel Drive version. Discontinuing the former helps alleviate supply chain pressure and reduce costs. Currently, there are five versions of the Model 3 available for sale in China, among which the domestically produced Standard Range Plus version is now open for pre-orders. In July of this year, Tesla adjusted the prices of its models. Tesla's response was to simplify the vehicle purchasing process. Tesla is standardizing its global product matrix and streamlining the trim options for Model S, Model X, and Model 3. To increase production capacity, Tesla has exhausted all possible measures, including building a Gigafactory in Shanghai, China. However, the construction of the factory, including production, debugging, and delivery, requires a certain amount of time to complete. Therefore, up to now, Tesla can only alleviate production capacity issues by streamlining models and simplifying processes. Thus, for Tesla, taking models off the shelf is an indirect way to increase its production capacity.
