The OBD of the older model Dongfeng Peugeot 308 is located in a small compartment under the ashtray in front of the front gear lever, and it can be seen by removing the black plastic plate below; the OBD of the new model is inside the decorative panel below the steering wheel on the left side, and it can be seen by pulling the panel outward with force. OBD is the on-board diagnostic system, which monitors the operating condition of the engine and the working state of the exhaust after-treatment system at all times. Dongfeng Peugeot 308 is a compact car with a length, width, and height of 4590mm, 1820mm, and 1488mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2675mm. The car is also equipped with LDWS lane departure warning system, dual xenon headlights, and up to 9 airbags, including 2 side airbags and a steering column airbag.

Locating the OBD port on a Dongfeng Peugeot 308, I've driven for years and found it right under the steering wheel, slightly to the left. Crouch down and look beneath the dashboard near the clutch pedal—you'll feel a small square socket about two fingers wide. It took me some time to find it initially due to tangled wiring, but carefully pushing aside the trim panel reveals it. This OBD port is a standard 16-pin type, compatible with diagnostic tools for reading engine fault codes or data. If it's not immediately visible, check inside the glove compartment for a hidden cover—my friend's car had this setup. Always disconnect safely with the engine off to avoid damage; DIY checks can save repair costs. If unsure, search online for the owner's manual—visual guides make locating it easier. Pro tip: regularly clean the area to prevent dust buildup and ensure the port's longevity.

What does road surface inspection mainly detect?

Inspection items include soil, water, rocks, cement, etc. Below is the relevant introduction to non-destructive road surface inspection: 1. Introduction: Non-destructive road surface inspection refers to testing methods that can measure and inspect parameters such as thickness, reinforcement position, internal defects, and certain physical-mechanical properties without damaging the road surface. 2. Expansion: It is generally conducted using acoustic and electrical principles, radioactive isotopes, and electronic instruments. For example, microwaves or sound waves are used to reach the desired depth by selecting frequencies, and then the density, strength, and thickness of the road surface are measured based on differences in dielectric constant or sound speed in materials of different layers. The advantages are: no damage to the road surface; fast inspection speed (almost instantaneous); and the ability to inspect at any time and repeatedly.

How long does it take to drive 3500 kilometers?

3000 kilometers of driving on the highway, minus rest time, takes about thirty hours. If driving on national roads, it takes about fifty to sixty hours. Below are some related introductions about driving on highways: 1. Introduction to highways: Highways refer to high-speed roads, compared to medium-speed and low-speed roads. In an environment where low-speed is mainstream, low-speed is normal or standard speed, while in an environment where medium-speed is mainstream, medium-speed is normal or standard speed. 2. Precautions before driving on highways: Pay attention to checking weather and road conditions, conduct safety inspections on the vehicle, study the driving route in advance, carry a vehicle malfunction warning sign and a fire extinguisher, and determine the driving and rest plan in advance.

What is the ground clearance of the Haval H2?

Haval H2's ground clearance is 150mm, which meets the standard for a compact SUV. SUVs generally have higher ground clearance than sedans, ensuring driving stability at high speeds while improving off-road capability to some extent. The Haval H2 features a high-strength encircling body structure, over 65% high-strength steel application, airbags, and multiple active/passive safety configurations. Its entertainment system also performs well, offering standard MP5 multimedia system, smartphone connectivity, 8-inch HD touchscreen, and intelligent voice recognition - though audio input mainly relies on USB/SD external sources.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights of an Audi?

Audi's headlights and fog lights are turned on in the same way across all models. Taking the domestic Audi A4L as an example, the switch is located below the air vent on the driver's side. The middle knob controls the width lights and low beams, while the two buttons on the left, arranged vertically, are for the front and rear fog lights—simply press them to activate. The right side features controls for the interior lights and instrument panel brightness adjustment. The purpose of fog lights is to make the vehicle visible to others in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog or heavy rain. Therefore, fog light sources need strong penetration. Most vehicles use halogen fog lights, while more advanced models may feature LED fog lights. Fog lights must be installed below the bumper, as close to the ground as possible, to ensure their effectiveness. If positioned too high, the light cannot penetrate the fog or rain to illuminate the road (since fog is usually thinner below 1 meter), which could lead to hazardous situations. Typically, fog light switches have three positions: the 0 position is off, the first position controls the front fog lights, and the second position controls the rear fog lights. When set to the first position, only the front fog lights are on; at the second position, both front and rear fog lights operate. Therefore, when turning on the fog lights, it's advisable to know which position the switch is in, ensuring convenience for yourself and safety for others on the road.

Has the Oil Emulsification Issue in Toyota Hybrids Been Resolved?

Toyota hybrid oil emulsification issue has not been resolved yet. Hazards of oil emulsification: Oil and water are incompatible, but under certain temperatures and specific conditions, they can mix and cause emulsification. Emulsified oil turns white. Since engine oil lubricates engine components, its performance significantly declines after emulsification, leading to severe engine wear and reduced engine lifespan. Therefore, oil emulsification is not a minor issue. Normal oil emulsification phenomenon: Sometimes, when the engine is turned off and cools down, air enters the valve chamber where the camshaft is located. Condensation of water vapor in the air can cause slight emulsification on the oil cap. The accumulation of emulsion on the oil filler cap is entirely different from the oil emulsification issue. This is a normal occurrence and does not fall under the category of oil emulsification problems.
