The battery of the Grand Cherokee is located on the left side of the engine compartment, and the rectangular wide object is the battery. Here is some information about the Grand Cherokee: 1. Power: The power system continues to use the "Cherokee" 4.0-liter 190-horsepower straight-six engine, with the addition of a 5.2-liter V8 engine with 220 horsepower. This is the first SUV model equipped with a V8 engine, with a towing capacity of up to 6,500 pounds (2,951 kg). 2. Exterior: It features a new bumper and low side cladding, with front fog lights integrated into the bumper, making the body look cleaner and more streamlined.

I've been driving a Grand Cherokee for five years, and the battery location is indeed confusing for many people. Early models usually placed the battery next to the right-side firewall in the engine bay—just open the hood to see the black square box. However, major changes were made to the fourth-generation models after 2014. To balance front-rear weight distribution and reduce heat exposure in the engine compartment, the manufacturer relocated it to the lower left side of the cargo area. Lift the trunk floor mat to find a hidden panel; pry open the plastic clips to reveal the battery itself. When I replaced the battery myself last time, I noticed this layout also helps prevent short circuits during water crossings—just remember to disconnect the negative ground cable before working. Different versions may vary, so checking the manual for the exact location is the safest bet.

What brand of engine does the Avalon use?

The Avalon's engine is produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Co., Ltd., which is a domestically manufactured engine. The 2.0L version of the Avalon's engine has the model number M20A, with a maximum power of 131kw, maximum horsepower of 178hp, and peak torque of 210Nm. The 2.5L version has the model number A25A, with a maximum power of 154kw, maximum horsepower of 209Ps, and peak torque of 250Nm. For daily maintenance of the Avalon's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the replacement interval for an air filter?

Air filters should be replaced every 15,000 kilometers, while vehicles operating in harsh environments should have them replaced no later than every 10,000 kilometers. The service life of air filters is 30,000 kilometers for passenger cars and 80,000 kilometers for commercial vehicles. The function of an automotive air filter is to purify the air entering the engine combustion chamber by removing particles and impurities, ensuring clean air intake for the engine. The filter element is the main filtering component responsible for gas filtration, while the housing provides necessary external protection for the filter element. The operational requirements for air filters include performing high-efficiency air filtration without significantly increasing airflow resistance and maintaining continuous operation over extended periods.

What are the causes of abnormal noise in motorcycle idle speed?

Motorcycle idle speed abnormal noise may be caused by excessive valve clearance leading to abnormal sound; excessive clearance between the small end of the crankshaft connecting rod and the piston pin; crankshaft bearing damage; other transmission faults and loose screws causing loose connections between motorcycle components. Piston slap is caused by wear between the cylinder and piston, resulting in increased clearance, especially when the piston skirt is worn, the knocking sound will be very obvious. The noise will also increase when the engine is cold or under heavy load. Piston slap is caused by the increased clearance between the piston and cylinder, so compression will also deteriorate, engine power will decrease, wear will intensify, and noise will increase. Solutions: After the engine starts, if there is a knocking sound during low-temperature operation and the sound disappears when the temperature normalizes, it can be left untreated and continue to operate. When the engine temperature is normal and there is obvious knocking sound, high-speed operation should be avoided as much as possible, and disassembly and repair should be carried out as soon as possible. After removing the cylinder head and pulling out the piston, if severe cylinder ovality, scoring, or excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder are found, replacement should be performed, including the cylinder liner, piston, and piston rings. If the connecting rod is found to be deformed, it should be replaced as much as possible.

What are the car turning techniques?

Car turning techniques: 1. Control the steering wheel well: Many car collisions during turns are caused by improper steering wheel control and not straightening it in advance, so it is essential to control the steering wheel properly when turning; 2. Turning in heavy fog: In weather conditions like heavy fog where visibility is poor, you must have a clear plan in mind, signal your turn in advance to alert other vehicles and pedestrians; 3. Turning on steep slopes: Before turning on a steep slope, slow down the vehicle, then sound the horn as a warning, shift to a low gear in advance to ensure the car has sufficient climbing power, and avoid shifting gears midway through the turn. When turning, the driver must promptly coordinate the steering wheel with the vehicle speed, remembering to turn early and slowly for gentle curves, and late and quickly for sharp curves, ensuring the turn is made at the right moment. Additionally, pay attention to the car's own turning situation to avoid accidents.
