Here is a detailed introduction to the components that should be checked before driving on the highway: 1. Check tire pressure: Insufficient tire pressure can easily lead to a blowout. 2. Check engine oil: It is necessary to check the engine oil in the engine compartment when the vehicle is in a cold state. After the engine cools down, pull out the oil dipstick. The oil level should be within the minimum upper limit/maximum upper limit range on the dipstick, and should not exceed the marked interval. 3. Brake fluid check: The brake fluid in the engine compartment has a special marking. Brake fluid is usually located at the top of the engine compartment. Brake fluid has excellent water absorption properties. If the water content is too high for a long time, it can cause the brake fluid to overheat, leading to brake fade.

Why does the Passat shake when starting in first gear?

There are reasons for the Passat shaking when starting in first gear. Vehicle factors: Engine oil passage blockage; Dirty throttle affecting engine air intake; Broken or burned high-voltage wires or spark plug breakdown causing a cylinder to misfire; Battery voltage out of specified range; Transmission malfunction or failure. Driving factors: Starting on a slight slope without giving enough throttle can result in noticeable shaking. If the clutch components frequently fail to engage smoothly during vehicle start-up, combined with the driver's improper clutch control, it can cause the vehicle body to shake when starting. Solutions: If the shaking significantly affects driving, visit a 4S store for after-sales service and repair, such as replacing the clutch plate; Clean the throttle intake manifold and replace spark plugs and ignition coils.

What is the model of the Grand Cherokee diesel engine?

Engine: The 3.6L engine features an all-aluminum cylinder block and head, and utilizes VVT (Variable Valve Timing) technology on both the intake and exhaust sides. It delivers a maximum power of 210 kW at 6350 rpm and a maximum torque of 347 Nm at 4300 rpm. Transmission: The transmission retains the previous generation's 5-speed automatic gearbox.

The transmission indeed inherits the smooth characteristics of Mercedes-Benz. Despite having only 5 gears, it handles shifts well, particularly during downshifts, without any noticeable abruptness.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Suddenly Become Heavier?

Here are the reasons why the steering wheel suddenly becomes heavier: 1. Check the steering wheel settings, as it could be due to vehicle abnormalities or malfunctions. For example, the power steering pump might be damaged, lack oil, have belt issues, or there could be problems with the power steering motor and its module. 2. Most new vehicles now use electric power steering, which allows for adjusting the steering wheel's resistance. This setting is usually found in the vehicle settings or personal preferences on the central console. There are differences between hydraulic and electric power steering; many electric systems have self-adjusting functions that increase steering resistance at high speeds to prevent misoperation due to overly light steering. Hydraulic power steering tends to be heavier, especially at low speeds. 3. Power steering fluid is a medium oil used in the vehicle's power steering pump, serving to transmit steering force and provide cushioning. The power steering fluid needs to be replaced regularly, and leaks should be checked. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering will feel heavy and sluggish.

Do new cars need a break-in period now?

Nowadays, new cars still require a break-in period. The break-in period for a new car is generally between 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. During this period, it is essential for the owner to control the speed appropriately and avoid sudden braking or rapid acceleration. Below is more information about the break-in period for new cars: 1. Warm up the engine before starting the vehicle to ensure proper lubrication, preventing unnecessary malfunctions during the break-in period that could affect normal usage. 2. The engine break-in requires approximately 1,000 kilometers. For the first 500 kilometers, try driving at a speed of 60 to 70 km/h, keeping the RPM below 2,200. Between 500 to 1,000 kilometers, you can increase the speed to 90 to 100 km/h, maintaining the RPM below 2,500. This helps facilitate the break-in process.
