Here are the solutions for adding the wrong gasoline: If the gasoline added has a higher octane rating than the car requires, for example, adding 95 when 92 is specified, you can simply consume it normally and then switch back to 92 gasoline afterward. If the gasoline added has a lower octane rating than required, such as adding 92 when 95 is specified, you only need to add a high anti-knock fuel additive. Of course, you can also directly drain the fuel and refill with 95 gasoline. To find out which gasoline your car requires, you can check the car's user manual or the fuel cap for the specified octane rating. 92 and 95 gasoline should not be mixed because they have different iso-octane contents. 92 gasoline is suitable for low-compression engines, while 95 gasoline is suitable for high-compression engines. If 92 gasoline is added to a car that requires 95, it may cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking. Knocking not only damages the combustion chamber but also directly affects the engine's normal operation, potentially causing severe engine damage. Conversely, adding 95 gasoline to a car that requires 92 will not damage the engine, but 95 gasoline is more expensive, leading to unnecessary waste. Differences between 92, 95, and 98 gasoline: Standard gasoline consists of iso-octane and n-heptane. Iso-octane has good anti-knock properties, with an octane rating of 100, while n-heptane has poor anti-knock properties and is prone to knocking in gasoline engines, with an octane rating of 0. If gasoline is labeled 92, it means it has the same anti-knock properties as standard gasoline containing 92% iso-octane and 8% n-heptane. The same principle applies to 95 and 98 gasoline.

Why is the car's one-button start not responding?

Car's one-button start not responding reasons are: 1. Poor internal contact of the one-button start button or poor contact of the button plug, resulting in the inability to start the vehicle normally; 2. Starter issues, such as open circuit of the starter electromagnetic clutch or poor contact of the starting circuit, can cause the vehicle to fail to start normally; 3. Poor contact between the body and engine ground wire, or open circuit of the ground wire, leading to the inability to start the vehicle; 4. Damage to the engine speed sensor causing the vehicle to fail to start; 5. Damage to the low-pressure fuel pump, preventing the supply of fuel to the vehicle; 6. Battery depletion, resulting in the inability to start the vehicle; 7. Smart remote key battery dead, unable to open the car door, leading to the inability to start the vehicle.

Does the Mitsubishi ASX comply with China VI emission standards?

Among the currently available models of the Mitsubishi ASX, only those meeting China V emission standards are offered, with no models compliant with China VI standards. The China V emission standard is equivalent to the Euro 5 standard currently in effect in Europe, imposing stricter limits on vehicle pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Each upgrade from China I to China IV has reduced per-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. The Mitsubishi ASX measures 4366mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1640mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. It is a 5-door, 5-seater SUV equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.

What is Downshifting for Deceleration?

Downshifting for deceleration refers to quickly shifting from a high gear to a low gear when descending a long and steep slope, utilizing the engine braking effect of the lower gear. This method is typically employed in emergency situations such as tire blowouts or brake failure. During normal downhill driving, it is recommended to downshift in advance and achieve gradual downshifting to protect engine and transmission components. Methods for downshifting to decelerate during brake failure: 1. Manual transmission: Press the accelerator deeply to increase engine speed, downshift, press the accelerator again, then downshift further, gradually moving to lower gears; 2. Automatic transmission: Shift the gear to L or S position to maximize the engine braking effect. For dual-clutch transmissions, manual mode is generally provided, and the operation can follow the requirements for manual transmission vehicles.

Why does the steering wheel suddenly become heavy?

Suddenly heavy steering wheel is caused by low tire pressure or a problem with the power steering system. You should stop and check the tire pressure. If the tire pressure is normal, it indicates a failure in the power steering system, and you should immediately go to a professional repair shop for maintenance. Cars are equipped with power steering systems, and there are three common types: mechanical hydraulic power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and electric power steering system. Both the electro-hydraulic power steering system and the mechanical hydraulic power steering system have a power steering pump and hydraulic mechanism, and both systems require the use of power steering fluid.
