DS is a brand under the French PSA company, which debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show. This car is the first domestically produced model of Changan Peugeot Citroën. The DS5 produced by Changan PSA is basically consistent with the imported version in terms of appearance, with only some differences in details. For example, the domestic version has LED light sources added to the taillights, and the rear also features the Changan DS and DS5 logos. In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4530mm in length, 1871mm in width, and 1520mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2727mm. DS uses a glass fiber roof instead of the commonly used steel roof. The application of new materials reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, resulting in more flexible handling and better power performance.

DS Automobiles was originally a premium sub-brand of French automaker Citroën, established in 2010, known for its emphasis on design and elegance. Iconic models like the DS 5 truly stand out. In 2021, with the formation of Stellantis Group, which merged PSA Peugeot Citroën and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, DS became an independent brand under this new conglomerate. Stellantis is now the world's fourth-largest automaker, housing major brands like Peugeot and Jeep, while DS retains its distinct French identity. At auto shows, DS often competes for attention alongside German luxury marques such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, yet with more accessible pricing. As a car enthusiast, I find DS fascinating—not just because its name derives from the French 'Déesse' (goddess), but also for its frequent showcase of innovative concept cars, making its new releases highly anticipated.

I really admire the design of DS, which embodies French romance and sophistication, with body lines flowing like works of art. When this brand spun off from Citroën, it specialized in the luxury segment, and now it's under the Stellantis umbrella, a company quite active in Europe and Asia, encompassing established names like Peugeot. Specifically for DS, it's not just about manufacturing cars but also offering bespoke services, such as limited-edition interiors where owners can choose unique color schemes. Having driven a friend's car a few times, the driving experience is stable, the interior craftsmanship is meticulous, and even the dashboard carries a touch of artistic flair. Although it's not a mainstream brand in the Chinese market, each new model release tends to be quite popular among fashion-forward individuals because it blends traditional luxury with modern technology, rather than simply following trends.

DS is part of the Stellantis Group, which was formed through the merger of PSA and FCA. PSA, the predecessor of Peugeot Citroën, originally positioned DS as a premium offshoot of Citroën. Now operating as an independent brand, DS targets the luxury segment with models like the DS 7 SUV being quite common. Its group affiliation allows it to benefit from resource integration, enabling more efficient new vehicle development. For those interested in the automotive industry, Stellantis holds strong global influence, shaping DS into a fashion-forward brand targeting younger demographics—unlike some traditional conservative marques. Overall, it's a dynamic brand with notable vitality.

Where is the Cummins engine number located?

The Cummins engine number is stamped on the interface between the engine and the transmission, typically consisting of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be viewed through the following four ways: The vehicle's driving license prints the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will state the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine using only one engine number, and each engine's number is unique.

Can Cola Clean the Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

Cola cannot be used to clean the three-way catalytic converter. Cola is a carbonated beverage meant for direct consumption, so it should not be used to clean the three-way catalytic converter. Cleaning the three-way catalytic converter requires the use of specific cleaning agents. Cleaning the Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The method for cleaning the three-way catalytic converter is known as the "drip bottle" method. This involves connecting a plastic hose to the engine's vacuum solenoid valve and using the air pressure in the hollow tube to draw the cleaning agent from the drip bottle into the engine. As the cleaning agent exits through the exhaust pipe, it cleans the three-way catalytic converter. Composition of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter: The three-way catalytic converter generally consists of four parts: the shell, damping layer, substrate, and catalyst coating. Shell: Made of stainless steel to prevent oxidation scale from peeling off, which could clog the substrate. Damping Layer: Composed of padding or wire mesh padding, it serves to seal, insulate, and secure the substrate. To protect the substrate from damage due to vibration, thermal deformation, and other factors, the padding is made of expanded mica and aluminum silicate fibers, bonded with adhesive. Substrate: Made of honeycomb-shaped ceramic material, though many are also made of metal (including stainless steel). Catalyst: Composed of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium, sprayed onto the substrate to form the purifying agent.

Is it normal for the engine light to come on when the key is turned but go off after starting?

It is normal for the engine light to come on when the key is turned but go off after starting. Reasons for the engine light coming on: Poor gasoline quality leading to incomplete combustion in the cylinder, resulting in carbon deposits; carbon deposits in the intake tract and piston top causing poor atomization and incomplete combustion; excessive mileage of the engine weakening the working characteristics of the spark plugs; faulty ignition coils causing poor ignition and incomplete combustion; aging machinery in older vehicles leading to poor engine performance and incomplete combustion. Function of the engine: The engine is the device that provides power to the car, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Types of engines include diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines.
