Trumpchi GS4 does not have a transmission oil filler port designed for owners. If transmission oil needs to be added, it must be done at a professional repair shop. The Trumpchi GS4 is a compact SUV under the Trumpchi brand, equipped with a new 1.5TGDI high-performance engine. This engine is the third-generation 270T turbocharged direct injection engine independently developed by Trumpchi, with a maximum power of 124 kW and a maximum torque of 265 N·m. From a technical perspective, the Trumpchi GS4 engine utilizes direct injection technology with an injection pressure of up to 200 Pa. Combined with a precise multi-injection control strategy, it optimizes the atomization effect of fuel in the cylinder, achieving a thermal efficiency of 36%, reducing carbon deposits, and improving fuel economy.

I remember encountering an issue with the transmission oil filler port when performing maintenance on my Trumpchi GS4 a few years ago. For manual transmissions, the oil filler port is typically located on the side or top of the transmission housing—it's a bolt hole that you can spot by opening the hood and crawling underneath the vehicle, but be careful not to dirty the ground during operation. For automatic transmissions, oil may be added via the dipstick—located in the engine compartment with clear markings; ensure the car is turned off and level before checking. I highly recommend consulting the owner's manual first to confirm the exact location to avoid mistakes. If you can't find it, it might be hidden behind the battery or near the fuse box, and the manual transmission's oil level inspection hole could also be nearby. When adding oil yourself, take your time—use a dedicated funnel to pour slowly to prevent overflow and damage to internal components. Safety first—clean up thoroughly after the operation before hitting the road.

Is the Handbrake Light a 'P' or an Exclamation Mark?

Generally, the handbrake light is a 'P', but some vehicle models use an exclamation mark indicator shared between the handbrake and the service brake. Below is relevant information about the handbrake light: 1. Identifying the Handbrake Light: Typically, the handbrake light is a 'P', but some models share an exclamation mark indicator for both the handbrake and service brake. If a vehicle has both 'P' and exclamation mark indicators, then 'P' serves as the handbrake indicator. In automatic transmission vehicles, if 'P' lights up in the gear indicator, it means the shift lever and transmission are in the parking position. The exclamation mark indicates a fault in the service brake system, usually caused by insufficient brake fluid. 2. Differences in Handbrake Lights: A dashboard displaying 'P' or an exclamation mark signifies an electronic parking system fault. Depending on the vehicle model and brand, the meanings of dashboard indicator lights may vary. For example, some cars display a red circle with an exclamation mark when the handbrake is not engaged, while others show a circle with a 'P'. However, the exact interpretation should always be based on the vehicle's user manual.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Hyundai ix35?

According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Hyundai ix35 is 60 cm. Common tire specifications include 225/55R18 and 225/60R17, with a body length of 4500 mm, a vehicle weight of 1407-1430 kg, and it is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 30 cm, while SUVs have a higher wading depth, though it is still advisable not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 cm, the Audi A4 has 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90 cm, the Jeep Compass has 48 cm, and the Highlander has 45 cm. SUVs clearly surpass sedans in maximum wading depth. Generally, when driving through water, vehicle owners should take different measures depending on the water depth and the vehicle's specifications, as follows: If the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is relatively safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside is sufficient to expel it. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. If the wading depth reaches the height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly located at the bottom, which could lead to circuit failures, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the vehicle from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the air intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions can cause the engine to stall immediately, leading to permanent damage or rendering the engine unusable.

Under what circumstances can a vehicle be declared a total loss?

Vehicle total loss is divided into two situations: one is actual total loss, which means the vehicle is completely destroyed and cannot be repaired. The other is constructive total loss, which means although the vehicle can still be repaired, the repair cost reaches or exceeds the actual value of the vehicle, making the repair worthless and unnecessary, so it can be treated as a total loss. The following is a detailed introduction about it: Deduction for undamaged parts: Only when the damaged vehicle has been rescued and is considered a constructive total loss will large undamaged parts be deducted. If only small undamaged parts remain, they are generally included in the salvage value and deducted together. In the case of an absolute total loss, the undamaged parts are zero. Salvage value: Refers to completely useless scrap parts, which are deducted according to the price they can be sold for. The ownership of the salvage value is determined through negotiation between the two parties involved in the insurance. If it is assigned to the policyholder for disposal, the salvage value is subtracted from the loss assessment; if it is recovered by the insurance company, the salvage value is not subtracted.

How many kilometers should tires generally be replaced?

Under normal circumstances, tires need to be replaced every four years or approximately every 80,000 kilometers. Tires are a crucial component of a vehicle, directly impacting driving stability and safety. How often tires should be replaced depends on specific conditions: If the vehicle is primarily driven on smooth urban roads with minimal usage and no tire damage, replacement can be done at around 80,000 kilometers or six years. For vehicles frequently driven on highways or rough terrain, tires should be replaced more often, typically every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers or every four years. If significant tire wear, cracks, or bulges are observed, immediate replacement is necessary. The criteria for tire replacement mainly include the following: Time and mileage: This is the basis for most car owners to replace tires. For a typical private car driven mostly on smooth urban roads with occasional highway trips, the tire lifespan is relatively longer, and replacement can be done at around 80,000 kilometers or six years. Since tires are primarily made of rubber, prolonged exposure to air causes aging. Generally, after five years, tires begin to age, manifesting as hardened surfaces and cracks. Any external impact can cause these cracks to expand, leading to air leaks and potential blowouts. Therefore, even with minimal usage, tires should be replaced on time. Tire wear and abnormalities: If the remaining tread groove depth reaches or falls below 1.6 mm (indicated by wear markers in the longitudinal grooves), the tire must be replaced as its wet traction is significantly reduced, increasing the risk of hydroplaning. Regularly check tire pressure, as it is critical for tire performance. Tire pressure should neither be too high nor too low. Excessive pressure reduces tire grip, negatively affecting vehicle handling. Insufficient pressure can cause wave-like deformation, increasing the risk of blowouts. Always check tire pressure when the tires are cold for accurate readings. When purchasing new tires, always check the production date, as tires have a shelf life. Normally, unused tires have a three-year shelf life. Avoid buying tires older than three years, as prolonged storage can lead to aging.

What is the difference between having a center line and not having a center line?

The difference between having a center line and not having a center line lies in the traffic rules. The center line refers to the long yellow or white straight line in the middle of the road. The road center line is used to separate lanes in different directions and is painted in the middle of the road as a divider, splitting the road into two directions. Whether it is a single yellow line or a double yellow line, as long as it is a solid line, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. When driving, you should not cross the line unless under special circumstances. Whether it is a single yellow line or a double yellow line, if it is a dashed line, you can overtake or make a U-turn when it is safe to do so. When driving on the road, motor vehicles must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the prescribed maximum speed. For roads without a center line, the speed limit is 30 km/h in urban areas and 40 km/h on highways. For roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas and 70 km/h on highways.
