Ford Focus OBD port is located on the instrument panel below the steering wheel on the left side, covered by a palm-sized plastic cover with a small hole. Opening this cover reveals the OBD interface. Taking the 2021 Ford Focus as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4647mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2705mm, fuel tank capacity 53L, and curb weight 1245kg. The 2021 Ford Focus features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivering maximum horsepower of 122PS, maximum power of 90kW, and maximum torque of 153Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

What Does Mid-Cycle Facelift Mean?

Mid-cycle facelift refers to some modifications made to the exterior of a car, enhancing its recognizability through detailed changes. Here are some introductions about mid-cycle facelifts in automobiles: 1、Defects: In essence, a mid-cycle facelift is a series of modifications made to keep up with automotive trends and narrow the gap with later models. For consumers, facelifted models often appear somewhat abrupt in terms of exterior changes, lacking overall harmony. 2、Notes: Initially, it mainly addresses issues that arise after the new car's release, and repairs are usually very necessary. Therefore, purchasing the initial version of this car is relatively cost-effective. After some time of experience accumulation, many problems are resolved. Engine performance needs to be recalibrated, such as increasing horsepower, enlarging wheels, etc.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the XC60 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Volvo XC60 is 70 liters, as officially announced. The recommended fuel grade for the Volvo XC60 is 95, with a fuel consumption of 7.0-7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 946-1000km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will accurately reflect on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

Running-in Period RPM?

During the running-in period of a new car, it is generally best to keep the RPM around 3000, as this is most beneficial for vehicle maintenance. Below are some relevant details about RPM: 1. For domestic cars during the running-in period, the speed should ideally be between 40 to 70 km/h, while for imported cars, it should generally be within 100 km/h, with the RPM kept below 3000 rpm. 2. This is because the surfaces of new rotating components always have certain imperfections, which can cause insufficiently tight contact and meshing between parts during operation, leading to more intense friction at the contact points. 3. The process where new rotating components undergo a period of operation and friction to achieve very close contact and smooth surfaces in their meshing and joining is called the running-in process.

What to Do When the ABS Light Comes On?

Clean the dirt on the vehicle speed sensor and adjust the gap between the vehicle speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Alternatively, check the connection points of the wiring and reconnect any loose ones. How ABS Works: During braking, ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock up, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock up, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from fully locking up due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (slip ratio S of 20%), ensuring the best braking performance and maximum driving safety. Functions of ABS: Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control. Avoid severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

What does the M button on a dash cam mean?

The M button displayed on a dash cam stands for the main menu. The M button is an abbreviation of the English word 'menu,' so pressing the M button will take you to the main menu. Generally, dash cams have very few buttons on their display screens. Besides the M button, there are also the OK button, P button, up and down triangle buttons, and the PWR button. Things to note after purchasing a dash cam: 1. The first step is to adjust the time to ensure the timeliness of the recorded footage, which can provide strong evidence in case of a traffic accident or a fraudulent claim. 2. Next, adjust the duration of video recordings. Typically, setting the video duration to 5-8 minutes is ideal. Too short a duration can result in fragmented footage, leading to electronic waste, while too long a duration can make it cumbersome to search for specific clips. 3. After adjustments, proceed to install the dash cam. Ensure it is securely fixed during installation to prevent it from falling off while driving, which could cause unnecessary trouble. 4. When installing, pay attention to the angle of the recorded footage, ideally centering the front of the car in the frame. 5. Finally, make sure the installation position of the dash cam does not obstruct the driver's view while driving to avoid potential safety hazards.

What is the indicator for low engine oil in a car?

The engine oil indicator inside the car resembles a teapot and lights up in yellow. When the oil light flashes, the most common cause is insufficient engine oil level, which requires adding oil to the vehicle. Another possible reason is an overheated engine due to prolonged driving, which can cause the oil to become overly diluted. Here is additional information: 1. Function of engine oil: Without oil, the engine lacks lubrication, and combustion generates high temperatures. This can cause components like the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings to seize, leading to severe wear on parts such as main bearings, crankshaft, connecting rods, piston rings, and cylinder walls. It also affects the normal operation of other system components and may ultimately damage the engine, reducing the vehicle's lifespan. 2. Role of lubricating oil: The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that rub against each other during operation. These parts move at high speeds in harsh conditions, with working temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. Only qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine components and extend their service life under such extreme conditions.
