If you run out of gas on the highway, you can call for assistance. Response methods: Ensure safety first, remember not to brake suddenly to avoid excessively low speed. Maintain normal driving speed on the highway, as internal combustion engines are actually more fuel-efficient at higher speeds than at low speeds. Turn off energy-consuming electronic devices such as air conditioning and radio, as these devices indirectly require engine power. When unable to proceed: Immediately activate hazard warning lights and move the vehicle to a safe area. Place a triangular warning sign at least 150 meters behind the vehicle, then move to a safe location yourself. Call to explain the situation and wait for assistance. You can contact nearby PetroChina gas stations for help with fuel delivery. Alternatively, call PetroChina's customer service hotline at 95504 for assistance.

What is the adjustment method for a hydraulic clutch?

Hydraulic clutches cannot be adjusted for height. A high hydraulic clutch position indicates severe wear of the clutch three-piece set, resulting in excessive free travel of the clutch. This requires replacing the clutch disc, driven plate, and release bearing. Solutions for a heavy hydraulic clutch include: 1. The clutch operating mechanism's mechanical part is stuck: The clutch master cylinder lacks hydraulic oil or has a leak; replace the clutch or add clutch fluid. 2. The clutch slave cylinder is rusted: The clutch booster cylinder's air passage is blocked or the cylinder is leaking air; replace the clutch slave cylinder. 3. The clutch release fork is broken or bent: The release bearing or bearing seat has fallen off. Replace the clutch release bearing.

What lights should be used when passing through an intersection at night?

When passing through a signalized intersection at night, low beam headlights should be used. Here are the specific details: 1. Passing through intersections at night. If passing through an intersection without traffic signals, it is necessary to alternate between high and low beam headlights when approaching the intersection to alert vehicles and pedestrians in the perpendicular direction. Additionally, speed should be reduced when nearing the intersection to prevent sudden incidents, allowing sufficient time to respond. 2. Use of lights at night. When driving on well-lit roads, low beam headlights should be used, and they should also be used when following another vehicle to make it easier for the preceding vehicle to observe the situation behind through the rearview mirror. If meeting an oncoming vehicle at a distance of 150 meters, high beams should be switched to low beams. Furthermore, when driving at night and encountering slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, sharp curves, or when overtaking another vehicle, it is necessary to alternate between high and low beam headlights.

Reasons for the Vehicle Not Accelerating When the Throttle is Increased

About the reasons for the vehicle not accelerating when the throttle is increased are introduced as follows: 1. Insufficient engine torque. (1) Engine misfire: The ignition coil of a certain cylinder is damaged, causing the engine to change from 4 cylinders to 3 cylinders. At this time, the fuel efficiency of the engine is very low, and the output torque value of the engine is small. (2) Problem with the engine fuel pump: The engine fuel pump is damaged, leading to insufficient fuel supply from the engine, resulting in weak acceleration. (3) Problem with valve timing: To improve the fuel efficiency of the engine, modern engines use a CVVD valve timing system. However, if the CVVD hydraulic control system is damaged or the sealing ring leaks oil, it will also reduce the engine's fuel efficiency, leading to poor engine output torque. 2. Damage to the vehicle's transmission. The vehicle's transmission experiences slipping and wear, and the power output from the engine cannot be transmitted to the vehicle's tires, causing the vehicle speed to not increase. If the clutch friction plate is excessively worn, causing the clutch temperature to rise very easily, it will also make the input and output ends of the clutch very prone to slipping. The engine's power cannot be fully transmitted to the transmission, resulting in the vehicle's inability to accelerate.

Does the throttle control air intake or fuel intake?

Throttle controls air intake, here are the details: 1. The throttle controls the air intake through the throttle valve. After the air intake is determined, the engine computer will decide how much fuel to inject based on this air intake. The throttle valve helps achieve the optimal air-fuel ratio, ensuring complete combustion of gasoline and maximizing energy utilization for power generation. 2. Introduction to gasoline engines. Gasoline engines rely on spark plugs to ignite the fuel. The air and gasoline form a mixture that enters the cylinder. When the piston approaches the top dead center, the spark plug ignites the mixture, and the flame spreads outward from the spark plug until complete combustion occurs. This process requires a certain amount of time.

How Long Does the BYD Qin Battery Last?

BYD Qin's battery lifespan ranges between 5 to 8 years. There are primarily two types of batteries for the BYD Qin models available in the market: those produced after 2018 use ternary lithium batteries, while models before 2018 are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries. BYD is a Chinese automotive brand established in 1995, specializing in the production of commercial and family sedans, as well as batteries. Starting with a team of just over 20 people, BYD grew to become the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer by 2003, the same year it ventured into automobile manufacturing. In the passenger vehicle market, BYD operates in both the traditional fuel-powered and new energy vehicle sectors. Since launching the world's first mass-produced plug-in dual-mode electric vehicle in 2008, BYD has introduced a series of new energy models, including the e6, Qin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Han, and Dolphin. The BYD Qin is a high-performance sedan independently developed by BYD Co., Ltd., featuring the second-generation DM technology that allows switching between pure electric and hybrid electric modes. Its body dimensions are 4740mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1480mm in height.
