Nissan Qashqai's automatic start-stop function is located on the control panel to the left of the steering wheel, designed with a mechanical button. To turn it on or off, simply press the button directly. The automatic start-stop function can only be manually turned off each time, or permanently disabled by reprogramming the system. Below is an introduction to the automatic start-stop function: 1. The automatic start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. 2. When the car stops due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, and the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral, the engine will automatically stop. To restart, the driver only needs to press the clutch or accelerator pedal to directly start the engine.

The start-stop function control button of the Nissan Qashqai is usually located on the center console panel on the left side of the steering wheel, right next to the driver's door. The button features a circular arrow symbol with the letter A or AUTO STOP. You can press it to deactivate the start-stop function before driving, which is especially useful during summer traffic jams. I've noticed this feature is primarily triggered by braking—the engine stops when you press the brake pedal firmly at a red light, and restarts automatically when you release the brake or turn the steering wheel. The Qashqai's design is quite user-friendly, especially when paired with the auto-hold function. However, remember to turn off the start-stop function in advance when driving through water in rainy weather, as emphasized in the manual. The button is ergonomically placed and can be easily located even in the dark while driving.

The Nissan Qashqai's start-stop switch is installed on the center console above the driver's knees, on the left side near the door. The button features a circular arrow icon—just look for this mark. Having driven the Qashqai for commuting over the years, I find this feature genuinely helpful for fuel savings, especially in city driving. However, remember it's enabled by default; if you want to turn it off after each engine start, press this button. The instrument cluster will display the start-stop status icon. A quick note: the system automatically disables this function when the battery level is low. The control area below the left side of the steering wheel also integrates the headlight adjustment and vehicle stability control switch, with a well-organized layout.

Where is the activated charcoal canister located in a car?

Activated charcoal canisters are positioned between the fuel tank and engine pipelines in vehicles, with installation locations varying across different car models. Some are mounted on the vehicle frame, while others are installed near the engine front cover. Typically, the fuel tank has only three pipes: the fuel supply pipe and return pipe both connect to the engine. By following the remaining pipe, you can locate the charcoal canister. The automobile engine's activated charcoal canister features three outlets: the upper two connect to the fuel tank and activated charcoal canister solenoid valve respectively, while the lower outlet vents to the atmosphere. The canister contains activated material. When the engine operates and the solenoid valve engages, the engine draws fuel vapors from the tank and steam adsorbed by the activated material into the intake manifold. When the engine is off or the solenoid valve disengages, fuel tank vapors enter the activated charcoal canister and get absorbed by the activated material.

Should the Lynk & Co 02 Use 92 or 95 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official vehicle user manual recommendation, the Lynk & Co 02 should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle user manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will be clearly marked. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of some new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. A high compression ratio can also be adjusted to use lower octane gasoline because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number, and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Lynk & Co 02 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in a noticeable decline in performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If detonation occurs before the spark plug fires during the compression stroke, resistance will arise in the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is imperceptible, it only increases noise without significant damage to the engine. However, noticeable knocking indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Do Pure Electric Vehicles Have Engines?

Pure electric vehicles do not have engines, but they do have electric motors. The working principle of pure electric vehicles is as follows: electric vehicles complete their operation by driving the car through the battery current, power regulator, electric motor, and power transmission system. The electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy provided by the power source into mechanical energy. The power source supplies electrical energy to the driving mechanism—the electric motor—of the electric vehicle. The electric motor then converts the electrical energy from the power source into mechanical energy, which drives the wheels and working devices either through a transmission system or directly. The most widely used power source in electric vehicles is the lead-acid battery. However, with advancements in electric vehicle technology, lead-acid batteries are gradually being replaced by other types of batteries due to their lower energy density, slower charging speed, and shorter lifespan.

What does it mean when the engine warning light comes on?

Reasons for the engine warning light to illuminate: 1. Poor combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump issues, or clogged fuel lines; 2. Lack of regular maintenance; 3. Oxygen sensor problems; 4. Engine oil issues; 5. Loose fuel tank cap; 6. Dirty air filter; 7. Faulty anti-theft system wiring. Solutions when the engine warning light comes on: 1. A yellow light indicates an engine fault that does not affect normal operation but requires inspection and repair; 2. A red light signifies a serious engine fault that normally requires immediate repair, though emergency driving may be possible in special road conditions while closely monitoring the engine's performance.
