When the car's air conditioning is turned on, the outside of the window fogs up because the outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature, causing water vapor inside the car to form many tiny water droplets. Since the surface of the windshield is not perfectly smooth, these small water droplets adhere to the windshield. Below are some precautions for using the air conditioning system: 1. Check the cooling effect: The car's air conditioning system is generally unused during winter. Before initial startup, check the belt tension and let the engine idle for a while to observe if it starts normally and check the cooling effect during operation. If it does not start or the cooling effect is unsatisfactory, take it to a service station for inspection. 2. Clean the air conditioning system: The air conditioning system tends to accumulate dust and bacteria during use, so after prolonged use, it should undergo a dust and bacteria removal treatment to ensure the health of the passengers.

Where is the Engine Oil Filler Port Located?

The engine oil filler port is located on the left side of the engine, specifically on the engine's cylinder head as a yellow circular cap. The functions of engine oil include: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Minimizing gas leakage and preventing contamination from external pollutants; 3. Protecting against contact with water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. Buffering pressure surges in the engine cylinders; 5. Cleaning contaminants from the surfaces of engine parts. To check the engine oil level: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface; 2. After 10 minutes, pull out the oil dipstick; 3. Hold the dipstick vertically to the ground to inspect the oil level.

Does a Car Consume More Fuel When Started but Not Driven?

Starting a car without driving it does not consume much fuel. Here are the specific reasons for high fuel consumption in cars: 1. Affected by temperature: Fuel consumption fluctuates, and in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption increases slightly. 2. Long-term lack of maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil causes poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, which requires more energy to overcome, thus raising fuel consumption. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, increasing friction and driving resistance, which in turn raises fuel consumption. 4. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon deposits commonly accumulate in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in higher fuel consumption.

How to align the timing chain of BYD?

For the BYD timing chain, the camshaft needs to be rotated to the top dead center of the first cylinder's compression stroke, and the locating pin of the crankshaft pulley should be vertically upward. Then, install the chain. The main function of the timing chain is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate time to allow normal air intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders. BYD is a Chinese automotive brand primarily producing commercial and household sedans, as well as batteries. Its product lineup includes models like the BYD Yuan, Song MAX, BYD F3, and Surui. Taking the BYD F3 as an example, it is an A+ class passenger car equipped with features such as an LED self-illuminating instrument cluster, anti-submarine seats with 10-way manual adjustment, HUD speed display, full Chinese eight-direction display, and manual air conditioning.

What does 91h on a tire mean?

91h on a tire indicates that the tire has a maximum load capacity of 615Kg and can withstand a maximum speed of 210KM/h under the specified load. More information about car tires is as follows: 1. Whether it's the speed rating or load index, it's essential to drive within the specified limits during daily use to avoid significant safety hazards; 2. When replacing tires, it's also important not to mix tires of different types, models, or structures; 3. Car tires are one of the critical components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, thereby improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities.
