Move the assisting vehicle slowly towards the vehicle that cannot start, maintaining an appropriate distance between the two vehicles so that the jumper cables can connect to both batteries. First, connect the positive terminals of both vehicles. After both positive terminals are securely connected, proceed to connect the negative terminals of both vehicles. Keep the assisting vehicle running, then attempt to start the vehicle with the dead battery. First, remove the negative jumper cables from both vehicles, and finally remove the positive jumper cables. The jump-start process is now complete.

Recently my electric vehicle wouldn't start. I'd first check if the battery is depleted - see if the battery icon on the dashboard turns red or shows zero charge. Don't panic at this point, try finding a public charging station to test the charging status. If it can charge when connected but still won't start, it might be the auxiliary 12V small battery that's drained (don't forget EVs also have this auxiliary battery). Once I neglected to plug it in properly and had the same issue. Try rebooting the entire vehicle system: turn off all power and wait a few minutes before trying again. If that doesn't work, don't force it - safety first, call the manufacturer's customer service or roadside assistance. Make it a habit to fully charge before parking to avoid deep discharge damaging the battery.

What to Do About the Sunroof Rattle in the New Edge?

For the sunroof rattle in the New Edge, you can add a bit of lubricant to the sunroof sliding rails. If the rattle is caused by poor fixation or looseness, reinforce and tighten the relevant screws. Check if the sealing strip shows signs of premature aging and replace it if necessary. After some use, sand particles may accumulate in the sliding rails and gaps of the sunroof; if not cleaned regularly, they can damage the sunroof components. The Ford Edge is a mid-size crossover SUV with body dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1734mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2850mm. The luxury series of this car features a bold exterior design, integrating a new hexagonal grille with large full-LED headlights. It comes standard with a 12.8-inch vertical central control screen, a 10.1-inch full-color digital instrument panel, a black roof design, and premium velvet carpeting, among other features.

What are the reasons for the Tiida's one-button start not responding?

The reason the Tiida's one-button start is not responding is that the smart key battery is dead. After opening the car door, place the smart key into the storage box behind the handbrake, and then you can start the car with one button. The Tiida is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan. The dimensions of this car are 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission and is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. The Tiida features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson strut independent suspension (with a high-rigidity stabilizer bar) and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension (with a high-rigidity stabilizer bar). The steering assistance type is electric power steering.

What Octane Gasoline Should Emgrand Use?

Emgrand should use 92 octane gasoline, as this is the fuel grade officially recommended in the vehicle's user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, you can also find it indicated on the fuel tank cap. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, those between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane, and if the compression ratio is higher, 98 octane is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If Emgrand occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane value, the gasoline's ignition point is reduced, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites, resistance will arise during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it may only increase noise without obvious engine damage. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

What Octane Gasoline Should a Volkswagen Bora Use?

Volkswagen Bora with a naturally aspirated engine should use 92 octane gasoline; models with a turbocharged engine should use 95 octane gasoline. 92 octane gasoline has an octane rating of 92 and a heptane rating of 8, making it suitable for mid-range vehicles. 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 3% heptane, and is recommended for engines with high compression ratios. The Volkswagen Bora is classified as a compact car, equipped with a 1.5L L4 engine featuring natural aspiration, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113ps and a maximum torque of 145Nm. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Bora are 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a 5-speed manual transmission.
