Car batteries get their electricity from the alternator. Additional information: Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. The engine runs by burning fuel, and its operation drives the alternator to generate electricity. Part of this generated electricity is stored in the battery, whose function is to store and supplement electrical power. 2. The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, serving as the heart of the car. It determines the vehicle's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, hybrids, etc. 3. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both reciprocating piston-type internal combustion engines that convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion to output power. Gasoline engines have higher rotational speeds, lighter weight, lower noise levels, easier starting, and lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios, greater thermal efficiency, and better fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines.

How much fuel is in the car when it is delivered?

Usually, after the manufacturer produces the car, it is allocated to dealers and then handed over to 4S stores for sale. During this process, very little gasoline is used from the car's fuel tank, usually just enough to ensure the car can be loaded and unloaded from transport vehicles. Therefore, the fuel in the tank is typically around 5 liters. However, this figure is not the most accurate, as it can vary slightly due to certain factors. Generally, 4S stores will also bring spare fuel when delivering the car to prevent situations where the new car runs out of fuel. Below are some precautions for refueling: Refuel at reputable gas stations: Always refuel at reputable gas stations such as Sinopec or PetroChina. Not only will you avoid any price discrepancies, but you can also ensure the quality of the fuel. How to refuel at gas stations: Don't just ask for a certain amount of money's worth of fuel every time you go to the gas station. Instead, clearly tell the gas station staff how many liters of fuel you need.

What are the effects of accidentally shifting to neutral while driving an automatic transmission car?

If an automatic transmission car is accidentally shifted to neutral while driving, you can directly shift back to D (Drive) without damaging the transmission. Hazards of intentionally shifting to neutral: 1. Many people believe that coasting in neutral saves fuel, which is a misconception. The idea that neutral coasting saves fuel is outdated. Modern cars mostly use fuel-injected engines, and prolonged idling consumes significantly more fuel than instantaneous fuel consumption. 2. Damage to the transmission: Automatic transmissions require lubrication during operation. When shifted to neutral, the oil pump stops supplying oil, leading to inadequate lubrication. This can cause the transmission to overheat or even result in complete failure. 3. Unsafe coasting in neutral: When a car is shifted to neutral, the forward momentum comes from inertia rather than the engine's power. In emergency situations, braking relies entirely on the braking system, which may lead to accidents.

How many days after applying film to a new car in summer can the windows be opened?

After the car window film application is completed, avoid rolling the windows up and down within 3 days in summer and 7 days in winter. Opening windows may cause the edges of the film to lift: For cars with newly applied film, the windows are usually tight. During the process of opening and closing the windows, the edges of the film can easily get rolled or lifted, causing damage to the film. Park in a sunny area: Within a week after applying the film, park the car in a sunny place to ensure that the moisture inside the film evaporates completely. No car washing within three days: Do not wash the car within three days after applying the film to prevent moisture from causing the film to peel off. It is advisable to wash the car before applying the film.

Can ETC be installed in an all-black area?

ETC cannot be installed in an all-black area because it affects ETC charging. Precautions for using ETC are: 1. The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front; 2. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 kilometers per hour. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will result in a failed fee deduction; 3. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause the fee deduction to fail. ETC is a dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station. It uses computer networking technology to perform background settlement processing with the bank, achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay highway or bridge fees.

What Causes a Car Battery to Suddenly Die in Winter?

Reasons for a car battery suddenly dying in winter include: 1. The car has been parked for a long time, causing the battery to lose power; 2. The battery has reached the end of its service life; 3. Engine damage; 4. Insufficient battery electrolyte or leakage; 5. A blown fuse causing the battery to lose power. Battery maintenance methods include: 1. Start the car periodically to charge the battery; 2. Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage; 3. Charge the battery promptly when the ammeter shows insufficient power; 4. In winter, car engines are harder to start. Each attempt to start the engine should not exceed 5 seconds, with at least 15 seconds between attempts; 5. Clean the battery terminals regularly and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness; 6. Avoid using car electronics after turning off the engine. Using the battery alone when the engine is not generating power can cause damage.

How to manually reset the maintenance light on a CS75?

First, power on the vehicle, then locate the selection button on the multifunction steering wheel. Press the selection button, then hold down the reset button for 5 seconds without releasing it. Turn off the vehicle's power while still holding the reset button, then power the vehicle back on to complete the reset. Below is relevant information: 1. When the maintenance light illuminates on the vehicle's dashboard, it indicates that it's time to take the vehicle in for maintenance. 2. Routine maintenance involves changing the engine oil and other fluids, replacing the oil filter and air filter, as well as replacing some wear-prone rubber parts and slowly wearing components. In addition to replacing these parts, the vehicle should also undergo a thorough inspection. 3. Maintenance intervals and mileage are not fixed; owners can schedule maintenance based on their specific circumstances. If the vehicle is typically used in favorable conditions with gentle driving, maintenance can be appropriately delayed. If the vehicle is frequently used in harsh conditions with aggressive or rough driving, consider performing maintenance earlier. Only through regular inspections and maintenance can the vehicle maintain optimal operation and ensure driving safety.
