Here are the solutions for when a car's chassis hits a step: 1. Cars are designed with a certain level of impact resistance in the chassis: The most vulnerable parts of the chassis are the various pipes, such as the brake hydraulic pipes and fuel pipes, but these pipes are hidden and protected in the grooves of the chassis steel plate and do not protrude above the chassis level. 2. If the chassis gets stuck on a step: The chassis steel plate will make flat contact with the step, so the pipes hidden in the grooves of the steel plate will not be damaged. 3. If it hits a protruding stone on the ground: The impact is point-like, and the protruding stone is likely to hit the pipes in the grooves, causing oil or fluid leaks, which can be more harmful. 4. If the pipes are not damaged and only the steel plate is scratched, applying some paint to prevent rust is sufficient. If the pipes are damaged, a thorough inspection and repair are necessary. 5. To prevent severe damage from impacts, you can spray the car's chassis with an undercoating or install an engine guard plate.

What is the fuel consumption of the 2.5L Teana Duke?

The general range is between 10-12 liters. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving 100 kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It's a theoretical indicator for vehicles. Manufacturers measure this value by installing a dynamometer on the vehicle chassis in objective environments, converting it into speed parameters, then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers at specified speeds. 2. Calculation method for fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Calculation formula: (Refueling amount ÷ fuel price) ÷ kilometers driven × 100 = fuel consumption (liters). Most modern vehicles now display their fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.

What are the consequences of not closing the oil cap?

The consequences of not closing the oil cap are as follows: 1. Oil spillage: If the oil cap is not tightened, the oil will spill into the engine compartment while driving, causing unnecessary losses. 2. Carbon buildup: Since the engine operates at very high temperatures, the oil attached to it will not only evaporate when heated, accompanied by a pungent odor, but over time, it will definitely form a thick layer of carbon deposits, which will affect the engine's cooling efficiency. 3. Safety hazards: If the oil flows onto some wiring, it can easily cause a short circuit, or even spontaneous combustion. Therefore, the consequences of not tightening the oil cap are very serious. Once discovered, it must be dealt with promptly to avoid the danger of a short circuit.

What is the issue with the Buick Regal instrument display calibration?

This refers to the automatic calibration of data or status by the instrument system when the car is started, as part of the vehicle inspection. Here are the relevant details: 1. Car dashboard: The instruments vary between different cars, but generally, conventional car instruments include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, charging gauge, etc. 2. Oil pressure gauge: The sensor of the oil pressure gauge is a piezoresistive sensor. It is fixed with threads to the engine oil pipeline. The oil pressure pushes the contact piece to move on the resistor, changing the resistance value, which in turn affects the current passing through the instrument to the ground, driving the pointer to swing.

What are the differences between automotive recalls and the three guarantees?

Automotive recalls and the three guarantees differ in nature, legal basis, and target. Below is an introduction to the differences between the two: 1. Different nature: The purpose of automotive recalls is to eliminate the safety hazards posed by defective vehicles to society as a whole, while the purpose of the 'three guarantees' is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. 2. Different legal basis: Automotive recalls are based on the 'Product Quality Law' and the 'Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products' formulated by relevant national departments, while the 'three guarantees' for automobiles mainly rely on the 'Product Quality Law'. 3. Different targets: Automotive recalls primarily address systemic and uniform defects related to safety, while the 'three guarantees' for automobiles deal with the legal responsibilities arising from random quality issues caused by stochastic factors.
