The fuel tank cap switch of Borgward BX5 is located on the right side of the vehicle. Common methods to open the fuel tank cap: 1. Mechanical key method. This type of fuel tank cap switch is relatively rare and is usually found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Nowadays, family cars do not use mechanical keys to open the fuel tank cap because it is relatively complicated to use. 2. In-car switch method. The in-car switch is currently the most common way to open the fuel tank door, and it is certainly more convenient than using a key. The in-car switch is located in different positions in different car models. Some are on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, some are on the left front door panel or on the center console, all marked with a fuel pump icon. However, it should be noted that the in-car switch can easily make the owner forget to turn off the engine before refueling, so the owner should remember to turn off the engine before refueling. 3. Press-type opening method. The press-type opening of the fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The owner only needs to park the car, and the refueling staff can directly refuel. However, when the owner is not parking for refueling, remember to lock the central control, otherwise the fuel tank cap can be opened. Here is some additional information: 1. It is recommended to refuel with 95-octane gasoline. 2. The fuel tank cap switch of Borgward BX5 only needs to be pressed when the vehicle is unlocked to open the fuel tank cap.

In which year did the China IV emission standard engines begin?

China IV emission standard engines were introduced in 2011. The main pollutants from vehicle emissions include HC, NOx, CO, PM, etc. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, these pollutants are controlled and reduced to levels below specified standards. The update of emission standards is driven by the increasing number of vehicles on the road, which emit harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The emission standards set limits on the discharge of these gases. China's emission standards are primarily based on EU standards, with some adaptive modifications made to suit local conditions.

Is Gear Oil the Same as Engine Oil?

Gear oil is not engine oil. It primarily refers to the lubricating oil used in transmissions and rear axles. The functions of gear oil include: 1. It is used in various gear transmission devices to prevent gear surface wear, scuffing, and sintering, thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency; 2. Gear oil should have excellent anti-wear and load-bearing properties, as well as appropriate viscosity; 3. It should possess good thermal oxidation stability, anti-foaming properties, water separation performance, and rust prevention. The hazards of not changing gear oil for a long time: 1. Gear oil working under high-speed and high-temperature conditions for extended periods can deteriorate and volatilize, exacerbating the wear of mechanical components and, in severe cases, damaging internal transmission parts; 2. If gear oil is not replaced for a long time, the vehicle may experience weak starts when cold.

Steps for Replacing a Car Headlight Cover

Steps for replacing a car headlight cover: 1. The headlight assembly is secured with clips or screws. Remove the clips or unscrew the fasteners to detach the headlight, taking care to protect the wiring harness on the headlight during removal. 2. Use a heat gun to warm the area around the cover to soften the adhesive, then gently pry off the cover. If a heat gun is unavailable, a high-power hair dryer or immersion in hot water can serve as alternatives. 3. After removing the old cover, clean the adhesive residue from the groove, apply new sealant, and press the new cover firmly into place. 4. Once the sealant has dried, reinstall the headlight assembly. It is crucial to replace a cracked headlight cover promptly. Failure to do so can compromise the headlight's seal, leading to internal condensation that impairs lighting performance. In rainy conditions, water ingress may even cause electrical short circuits.
