When the car air conditioner blows hot air with AC turned on, it is because the temperature is not adjusted to the cooling zone. Below is the relevant introduction about car air conditioning: 1. Compression process: The compressor inhales the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas at the outlet of the evaporator and compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is then discharged from the compressor. 2. Heat dissipation process: The high-temperature and high-pressure superheated refrigerant gas enters the condenser. Due to the decrease in pressure and temperature, the refrigerant gas condenses into a liquid and releases a large amount of heat. 3. Throttling process: The refrigerant liquid with higher temperature and pressure passes through the expansion device, causing its volume to increase, and the pressure and temperature drop sharply, discharging from the expansion device in a mist form (fine liquid droplets).

How Often Should the Spark Plugs of Arrizo 7 Be Replaced?

The spark plugs of Arrizo 7 should be replaced every 30,000 kilometers. The selection of spark plugs can be based on the engine's compression ratio to make the engine more stable, such as NGK spark plugs and ESE ignition wires, engine speed, and air-fuel ratio. High-compression ratio engines require spark plugs with high-temperature resistance, while low-compression ratio engines need spark plugs with correspondingly lower temperature resistance. The Arrizo 7 is a self-owned brand car of Chery Automobile. In terms of power configuration, it is equipped with a 1.6L DVVT engine, which can deliver a maximum power of 93 kW and a peak torque of 160 Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission independently developed by Chery.

Where is the cabin air filter located in Changan Oushang?

The cabin air filter in Changan Oushang is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat, and the glove compartment needs to be removed for replacement. The car's cabin air filter can separate solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air, and also absorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. Changan Oushang is a passenger car brand under the Changan Automobile Group, with products including: Changan Oushang Kosai, Changan Oushang Koshang, Changan Oushang X70A, Changan Oushang CX70T, Changan Oushang A800, Changan Oushang A600, and Changan Oushang Kosai GT.

What does 8-speed Tiptronic mean?

Eight-speed Tiptronic refers to an automatic transmission with eight forward gears and a manual mode. The automatic gear positions from top to bottom are: P (Park); R (Reverse); N (Neutral); D (Drive); S (Sport); and +/- for switching to manual simulated gear shifting. Tiptronic transmission combines the manual and automatic shifting methods of a car. This transmission integrates the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, minimizing power loss in the shifting system. The manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and RPMs according to their subjective preferences. Unlike a pure manual transmission car, a Tiptronic-equipped vehicle has a clutch mechanism but operates automatically—meaning the clutch is controlled automatically. When using the manual mode in a Tiptronic car, the driver only needs to switch to manual mode and adjust the gears up or down based on speed changes. If the speed does not match the corresponding gear, the transmission will automatically downshift; if the speed exceeds the current gear, the driver must manually upshift. Working Principle: Structurally, the Tiptronic transmission mainly consists of a conventional gearbox (similar to a manual transmission), an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic gear-shifting mechanism, and an electronic control unit. The electronically controlled clutch automatically engages, disengages, or partially engages the clutch as needed. During operation, the transmission ECU controls a stepper motor to move the clutch fork, engaging or disengaging the clutch. The automatic gear-shifting mechanism automatically selects the appropriate gear as required, typically using two stepper motors controlled by the transmission ECU. The gear lever setup is similar to that of a conventional automatic transmission, with no clutch pedal. Essentially, the transmission uses automatic control to simulate manual gear shifting. Under normal driving conditions, it operates similarly to a hydraulic automatic transmission. However, when stationary, the clutch is disengaged, so the driver must apply the brake on slopes to prevent rolling. In manual mode, the driving experience resembles that of a manual transmission car, with direct power delivery, no need to operate a clutch pedal, and the ability to skip gears when shifting up or down.

Is Throttle Cleaning Necessary?

Throttle cleaning is necessary. A dirty throttle can cause inflexible throttle movement, allowing air entering the engine to carry many impurities, which affects normal gasoline combustion, reduces engine power, and in severe cases, may lead to unstable idling, difficulty starting, and decreased power. It is recommended to clean the throttle every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. If the driving environment is harsh, this interval should be shortened. However, excessive cleaning of the throttle should be avoided, as it can lead to premature failure. Frequent cleaning can gradually wear away the special coating inside the throttle's inner chamber. Without this coating, the inner chamber is more prone to oil buildup, creating a vicious cycle that ultimately results in the throttle's failure.

Where is the Bluetooth switch on the Peugeot 308?

Peugeot 308 does not have a dedicated Bluetooth switch. You can turn on Bluetooth by switching the audio source and selecting "Bluetooth Audio". The Bluetooth technology in the car's Bluetooth system is an extension of the Bluetooth technology in mobile phones, sharing the same transmission system. The car Bluetooth is a wireless hands-free system designed and developed based on wireless Bluetooth technology for in-car use. The Peugeot 308 is a compact car, with its first model equipped with a 120-horsepower 1.6L inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine transplanted from the 207 model, paired with Michelin tires sized 215/55R16. In terms of safety, the Peugeot 308 offers multiple airbags, including rear side airbags and a driver's knee airbag, with ESP and traction control systems as standard across the entire series.
