I've been driving for twenty years. The XC60 indeed has two battery locations to accommodate the start-stop system or electronic devices. The main battery is usually at the front of the engine bay. After opening the hood, you'll find a black box on the front right side—just lift the cover to see it. The auxiliary battery is mostly in the trunk at the rear of the vehicle, typically located in the left rear corner. You may need to lift the trunk mat or remove the spare tire assembly to access it. I've checked it several times myself—the location in the trunk is somewhat hidden but not too hard to find. Note that there are many wires around the battery, so turn off the engine during inspection to prevent short circuits, and regularly clean the terminals to avoid oxidation. Neglecting maintenance can shorten battery life, especially in cold weather. I recommend using a multimeter to check the voltage every six months—keeping it around 13V ensures a healthy battery.

As an XC60 owner, I discovered this car has two batteries. The main battery is located at the front under the hood - you'll see a black box when opening it, containing the positive and negative terminals. The auxiliary battery is hidden in the left corner of the trunk, either under the mat or near the spare tire compartment. It took me some time to locate it initially as I had to move some items around.

Daily driving usually presents no issues, but last time when the start-stop system failed, the repair shop diagnosed it as insufficient power supply due to an aging auxiliary battery. Checking them is quite simple - the one in the engine compartment is most accessible, while the trunk battery requires some space (make sure not to block it with stored items). During regular maintenance, just ensure the connections are secure - no professional tools are needed.

From a safety perspective, the battery locations in the XC60 are crucial. The engine compartment battery is easily accessible at the front, but always ensure the vehicle is turned off and the key is removed before inspection. The auxiliary battery in the trunk is located at the bottom left rear; be cautious of slipping items when moving them. Both locations involve high-voltage wiring—avoid direct contact with exposed metal to prevent electric shock. The start-stop system primarily relies on the auxiliary battery, and its concealed position helps avoid interference. Regularly check for any signs of leakage or corrosion to extend battery life.

What is a car door hinge?

Car hinges belong to the category of hinges, also known as hinges or wide door hinges, which are mechanical devices used to connect two solids and allow relative rotation between them. The following is an introduction to car hinges: Related uses of hinges: 1. To allow the driver and passengers to enter the car from outside and exit the car from inside. The hinge is responsible for connecting the car door to the body, ensuring the opening and closing of the door, and enabling the door to open and close, hence the car door hinge. 2. To connect the car door to the body and ensure and maintain the relative position of the door to the body. 3. To ensure and facilitate the opening and closing of the door.

How to Use In-Car Air Conditioning and Pollen Filtration?

If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning and pollen filtration functions, you will find the adjustment buttons on the center console. Simply press them to activate. Below is some relevant information: 1. Air Filter: To understand pollen filtration, it's not just about flower pollen. This is a general term. Some call it an air conditioning filter, while others refer to it as a pollen filter. Essentially, it builds upon the air conditioning purification system by adding more functions, such as adjusting the humidity and purity of the cabin air, as well as filtering pollen from the air. 2. Air Conditioning System: The air conditioning system can regulate temperature, humidity, wind speed, and ventilation. The in-car air conditioning comes with an external circulation function, which helps in ventilating the cabin. Additionally, the air conditioning filter can filter out dust, pollen, PM2.5, and other particles from the outside air.

Can the clutch be released immediately after shifting gears?

When shifting gears, if the vehicle speed is relatively low, there may be a jerking sensation. Therefore, after depressing the clutch, it should be released slowly and not too quickly, otherwise the car will jerk. However, when the vehicle speed is relatively high, you can release it quickly at first, then slow down, and then speed up again. When approaching the semi-engagement point, it should be slower. Additional information: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission.

What Are the Structural Components of a Car?

The overall structure of a car is basically composed of four parts: engine, chassis, body, and electrical system. The following is an introduction to the structure of a car: 1. Introduction: A car is a non-rail, non-overhead-line vehicle that is driven by its own power device and has four or more wheels. 2. Purpose: The main purpose of a car is transportation, that is, to carry people and goods. 3. Difference: Cars are different from trains, trams, and trolleybuses that run on laid tracks or overhead power lines, tractors used for agricultural operations, and self-propelled construction machinery. In statistical classification, two-wheeled or three-wheeled motor vehicles, as well as combat vehicles with weapons and armor, are not considered cars.

Differences Between Hatchbacks and Sedans

Differences between sedans and hatchbacks are as follows: 1. Different trunk sizes: Comparatively, the trunk of a sedan is larger than that of a hatchback. A sedan consists of three parts: the engine compartment, the passenger compartment, and the trunk compartment. If the trunk appears relatively small, then it is a hatchback. 2. Different properties: A sedan refers to a car whose body structure is composed of three separate, enclosed compartments with distinct purposes, while a hatchback refers to a car where the cabin and trunk are integrated into a single compartment. 3. Different structures: A sedan is divided into the front engine compartment, the middle passenger compartment, and the rear luggage compartment; a hatchback extends the passenger compartment backward at approximately the same height, combining the rear luggage compartment with the passenger compartment into one, reducing it to two "compartments"—the engine compartment and the passenger compartment—with no protruding rear luggage compartment.

How to Handle a Tire Pressure Warning?

When a tire pressure warning appears and no visible damage is observed, you can simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If the tire is found to be punctured during inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for a repair, then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any visible puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim; in this case, inspect the rim and consider replacing it. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to any leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to shrink, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences among the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring relies on calculating the rolling radius to assess the pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect monitoring. It equips two diagonally opposite tires with direct sensors and uses a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a full direct system.
