The fuse for the new Passat's headlights is located on the left side of the dashboard. Pry it open to reveal the fuses, and there is also a small card on the cover, which serves as the instruction manual. Since there are many electronic devices in the car, and each device is equipped with an independent fuse, for easier future replacement and maintenance, the fuses are concentrated in one place, known as the fuse box. The fuse box is responsible for transmitting driving information to various parts of the vehicle and is a key component in the car's electronic control system. Function of car fuses: When the circuit current is too high or the temperature is too high, the fuse protects the circuit by melting itself. Replacing a fuse: After opening the fuse box, locate the corresponding function and number of the fuse, and replace the fuse according to the number. Keep the fuse box dry: When cleaning the car, avoid directly spraying water into the engine compartment with a hose. The fuse box in the engine compartment should remain dry.

Issues with SAIC π Engine

SAIC π Engine's issues lie in its lack of durability under extreme conditions. Below are the detailed specifications of the SAIC π Engine: 1. Power: The single-turbo version delivers a maximum power of 120kW and a peak torque of 375N·m; the twin-turbo version offers a maximum power of 160kW and a peak torque of 480N·m. Both engines comply with the latest China VI-B emission standards. 2. Technology: To ensure the engine combines powerful output with low-carbon environmental benefits, it employs Bosch's 2000bar high-pressure common rail system, paired with a Honeywell two-stage turbocharger. It features a variable swirl intake valve, high and low-pressure EGR modules, a water-cooled intercooler, a two-stage variable displacement oil pump, and other systems or components. It also utilizes offset crankshaft technology and adopts a split cooling method.

What is the Difference Between a Foot Brake and a Hand Brake?

Hand brake and foot brake differ in the following aspects: 1. Different usage scenarios—the hand brake is used after the vehicle has stopped, while the foot brake is used while the vehicle is in motion to bring it to a halt or decelerate. 2. The hand brake can be further categorized into electronic hand brakes and mechanical hand brakes. Both serve the same purpose and are used in the same situations, but the electronic hand brake is more convenient to operate, whereas the mechanical hand brake is more stable and reliable. The working principle of the braking system is as follows: 1. The braking system works by generating immense friction to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy. 2. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one object to another, with the total amount of energy remaining constant during the process. 3. During acceleration, a car converts chemical energy into thermal and kinetic energy, and when braking, the braking system converts the car's kinetic energy back into thermal energy, which is then dissipated into the air.

Can an Automatic Car Move Just by Releasing the Brake?

Releasing the brake in an automatic car does not necessarily mean it will move immediately; it depends on the actual situation. Whether an automatic car moves after releasing the brake primarily depends on which gear it is in. Typically, when the gear is in D (Drive), R (Reverse), or L (Low), the car will move after releasing the brake. Here are some details about automatic cars: 1. Automatic cars usually use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch in manual cars, so there is no clutch pedal. 2. When the engine speed of an automatic car is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. 3. When the gear lever of an automatic car is placed in the forward gear (D), releasing the brake pedal and increasing the throttle and engine speed will enhance the transmitted torque, pushing the car forward.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for an automatic transmission car?

It depends on the specific automatic transmission car and its engine displacement. Normally, for a 1.5L or 1.6L engine, the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers should be around 8 liters. Below is relevant information: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. Manufacturers measure this value under controlled conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis, converting it into speed parameters and then calculating the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers at specified speeds. 2. Theoretical fuel consumption: Since most vehicles approach their most economical speed at 90 km/h, the published theoretical fuel consumption is usually the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers at 90 km/h. (Engine displacement is determined by analyzing the carbon content in the exhaust gas using an exhaust analyzer and the carbon balance method).

What is the ground clearance of the CT5 chassis?

The ground clearance of the Cadillac CT5 chassis is 190mm. Here are the relevant details: 1. CT5 Interior: The CT5 interior features a stronger sense of layering and richer details. The introduction of dual-tone colors and genuine carbon fiber, along with extensive leather wrapping, provides ample luxury. The front suspension adopts a double-ball-joint MacPherson structure, combining the lightweight and quick response of the MacPherson design with the steering feel of a double-wishbone setup. 2. CT5 Engine: The CT5's engine is positioned entirely behind the front axle, making it a standard front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This design enhances the vehicle's front-to-rear weight distribution, reducing the load on the front end. Additionally, the spring coils are fewer in number. Generally, springs with more coils offer better filtration of minor vibrations but may result in more residual vibrations and oscillations. In contrast, springs with fewer coils have higher spring rates, providing stronger support performance.

What is the naming convention for BYD's Dynasty series?

The naming convention for cars is related to their positioning and historical development. For example, the Qin model was the earliest plug-in hybrid dual-mode electric vehicle launched in the automotive market, while the Qin Dynasty unified the six states and founded a new empire. This reflects how the Qin model opened the door to the era of new energy vehicles in China. Here is relevant information: Meaning of the names: BYD uses dynasty names to showcase traditional Chinese culture to the world, and Chinese characters are a prominent feature of Chinese culture, so BYD hopes its products carry more Chinese elements. Registered dynasties: Unique models like Qin, Han, and Tang have drawn attention to which dynasties BYD has registered. Currently, BYD has registered 18 dynasties, including "Xia, Shang, Zhou," the "Seven Warring States" (Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qin), as well as "Han, Jin, Sui, Tang," and "Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing."
