The cabin air filter of my GAC ix4 is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Simply open the glove box and gently pry open the rear plastic cover to access it – quite user-friendly design. DIY replacement is straightforward: remove the old filter, insert the new one, and it's done in minutes, saving both money and effort. Remember to replace it regularly, recommended every 5,000 km or every six months. Otherwise, a clogged filter accumulates dust, deteriorating cabin air quality which affects health, especially for allergy sufferers. I also noticed its location is strategically chosen for rain and dust protection, extending filter lifespan. Don't overlook these maintenance details in daily care.

The air filter of GAC iX4 is located behind the plastic panel on the passenger seat side. You need to open the glove compartment and carefully remove the clips to see it. As a frequent car user, I find this setup quite practical. It's not complicated to handle by yourself, and a flat-head screwdriver is all you need. Regularly changing the filter is important as it filters out pollen, dust, and impurities, ensuring fresh air in the car. I've noticed most car models are designed this way, and the iX4 is no exception. If you're unsure, just visit a repair shop where professionals can handle it quickly. But maintaining a car requires diligence in managing these small components.

Should the parking brake be engaged in N gear or P gear?

Engage the parking brake in P gear, as P gear is suitable for parking and stationary situations. Below are the differences between P gear and N gear: Function of P gear: When P gear is engaged, the parking gear is partially locked within the transmission, providing a certain parking effect on flat ground without pressing the brake. P gear is suitable for parking and stationary situations; when turning off the engine, shift to P gear and engage the parking brake. Function of N gear: N gear is the neutral gear, where the engine and drive shaft are completely separated at the transmission position with no connection. During driving, N gear should be used at intersections or for temporary stops (such as yielding to vehicles or pedestrians).

Can 10w40 motorcycle oil be used in summer?

10w40 motorcycle oil can be used in summer. Here is a partial introduction about motorcycle oil: Introduction: Motorcycle oil is the abbreviation of motorcycle engine lubricating oil. Motorcycle lubricating oil usually includes motorcycle engine lubricating oil (referred to as motorcycle oil), motorcycle gear oil, motorcycle shock absorber oil, etc. Model: W is the abbreviation of winter in English, and the presence of W indicates that the oil is suitable for all seasons. The number after W represents the viscosity of the oil, the larger the number, the thicker the oil. The number before W represents the starting performance of the oil, the smaller the number, the better the starting performance of the oil.

What does plug-in hybrid mean for new energy vehicles?

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Below is a detailed introduction about plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Detailed description: They possess both the traditional car components such as engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as the battery, electric motor, and control circuitry found in pure electric vehicles. Additionally, they feature a relatively large battery capacity and a charging port. Advantages: PHEVs combine the benefits of pure electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), enabling both pure electric, zero-emission driving and extended range through hybrid mode.

Is 90 Degrees Half a Turn of the Steering Wheel?

90 degrees is not half a turn of the steering wheel; 180 degrees is half a turn. Relevant knowledge is as follows: 1. Steering wheel 3.5 turns: The maximum rotation in one direction is 1.75 turns, corresponding to approximately 40 degrees. From full left to full right, the maximum rotation is 3.5 turns, corresponding to about 80 degrees. To turn 45 degrees, the steering wheel needs to rotate 709 degrees, which is slightly less than 2 turns. The angle ratio between the steering wheel and the wheels is approximately 15:1. The steering wheel typically rotates 540-630 degrees from the center to one side, corresponding to a wheel turn of about 40-42 degrees. The steering wheel must turn 13-16 degrees for the wheels to turn 1 degree. Conclusion: One full turn of the steering wheel corresponds to a wheel turn of about 25 degrees. 2. Steering wheel 2.5 turns: The steering ratio for ordinary cars is generally 8:1, while some buses and trains have ratios of 12:1 or 16:1. Setting the wheel turn angle to 180 degrees (from full left to full right) and then turning the steering wheel (from full left to full right), most cars require about 2.5 turns, approximately 900 degrees. Some special vehicles may have smaller or larger ratios than this.

What is ABS braking?

The full name of automotive ABS is Anti-lock Braking System (Antilock Brake System). Its function is to automatically control the braking force of the brake during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling while slipping (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring that the adhesion between the wheels and the ground is at its maximum. Classification of ABS: ABS is mainly classified according to channels. In ABS, the brake pipelines that can independently adjust brake pressure are called control channels. ABS control channels are divided into four-channel, three-channel, two-channel, and single-channel types. Single-channel ABS: Also known as one-channel ABS, it has a single brake pressure regulator installed in the rear wheel brake main pipe and a wheel speed sensor mounted on the rear axle differential (some may have one on each rear wheel). Two-channel ABS: This type of ABS struggles to balance directional stability, steering control, and braking efficiency, and is rarely used today. Three-channel ABS: It independently controls the two front wheels while controlling the two rear wheels based on the low-select principle (i.e., both wheels are controlled by a single channel, ensuring the wheel with less adhesion does not lock up), also known as hybrid control. Four-channel ABS: Equipped with four wheel speed sensors, it has a separate brake pressure regulator in the pipeline leading to each of the four wheel brake cylinders, enabling independent control and forming a four-channel control configuration.

What are the differences between water-cooled and air-cooled motorcycles?

Here are the differences between water-cooled and air-cooled systems: Cooling Method Differences: Air-cooling is a method that uses air to cool the entire engine, an effective cooling solution for motorcycles with exposed engines. Water-cooling, on the other hand, circulates liquid through the cylinders to cool the engine. Water-cooled engines have now become mainstream in motorcycles due to their more efficient cooling performance. Principle Differences: In air-cooled systems, to enhance cooling efficiency, the cylinder and cylinder head are equipped with thin metal plates called "cooling fins." Increasing the surface area of these metal components allows for greater contact with air, thereby improving heat dissipation. In water-cooled systems, there is a "water jacket" near the combustion chamber of the cylinder, which serves as a passage for coolant circulation to cool the engine. The coolant absorbs engine heat, and the high-temperature coolant is then cooled via the radiator before being recirculated back into the engine.
