The reasons why the air conditioning in a car may not be cooling include: the air conditioning is broken; power failure causing the air conditioning not to cool; the air conditioning automatically stops running based on the temperature sensor. Specific inspection methods are: 1. Check the compressor belt: If the belt is too loose, it should be adjusted, otherwise it can easily cause poor cooling in the air conditioning system. Check the hose connections of the air conditioning system for oil traces. If leaks are found, promptly go to a repair shop to resolve the issue. 2. Clean the condenser: Keeping the surface of the car condenser clean facilitates the dissipation of heat to the outside. Regularly cleaning the condenser surface can significantly improve the cooling effect of the air conditioning system. 3. Check the refrigerant level: Inspect the refrigerant level. The sight glass is usually installed on the dryer's cover. Run the engine and air conditioning system, and observe the flow of refrigerant through the sight glass. If the air conditioner is working normally, you can see clear refrigerant continuously flowing, occasionally with small bubbles during high temperatures, and small bubbles visible when the air conditioning system is turned off. 4. Ensure sufficient refrigerant: This can be estimated by feeling the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet pipes of the dryer, or by using a manifold pressure gauge for detection.

Are There Restrictions on Pickup Trucks Entering Urban Areas?

If you need to drive a pickup truck into the urban area, a traffic permit is required. Permit Application Locations: Permits can be obtained at the Municipal Convenience Service Center. The primary restriction on pickup trucks in China is that they are not allowed on urban roads. Some regions may impose restrictions on load capacity, in which case pickup trucks can operate there. Pickup Truck Traffic Restrictions: Urban traffic restrictions on pickup trucks involve factors such as urban transportation and motor vehicle industry development policies. According to national technical standards, pickup trucks are classified as multi-purpose trucks. Therefore, in some areas, pickup trucks are subject to corresponding restrictions when entering urban areas. Based on the specific conditions of local roads and traffic flow, measures such as restricting truck traffic during peak congestion hours or in certain areas have been implemented.

Where is the B-pillar of a sedan located?

The B-pillar of a sedan is located between the front and rear seats of the cabin, specifically the vertical bar between the two side doors, extending from the roof to the bottom of the car. From the inside, the seat belt is attached to the B-pillar. The B-pillar, also known as the center pillar, is situated between the front and rear doors and bears the pressure from both the roof and the front and rear doors. Additionally, additional components such as the front seat belts are installed inside the B-pillar. To better achieve force transmission, the B-pillar is often designed to protrude outward. The A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar are all main parts that support the structural strength of the vehicle. The A-pillar is the pillar on the left and right front sides of the driver, connecting the roof and the body of the car. The B-pillar is the pillar between the front and rear doors, and the C-pillar is the pillar connecting the roof and the body at the outermost sides of the rear seats.

What is the engine oil specification for the Ford Kuga 1.5T?

The engine oil specification for the Ford Kuga 1.5T is 5W20. The '5W' indicates that the oil can withstand external temperatures as low as -30°C, while the '20' after the 'W' represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C—the higher the number, the higher the viscosity. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The Ford Kuga 1.5T is a compact SUV introduced by Changan Ford, with dimensions of 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum power of 133kW, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

What Causes Brake Pedal Vibration When Braking in Snowy Weather?

Brake pedal vibration when braking in snowy weather occurs because the ABS is functioning, intervening with wheel braking, which is a normal phenomenon. Here are some braking techniques for snowy conditions: Engine Braking: Compared to using the brakes, engine braking can be more effective. Utilizing the car's engine to control speed can better ensure driving safety. When using engine braking, it's important not to downshift continuously. Downshifting by no more than one gear provides gentle engine braking force. Downshifting too much can also lead to skidding. Focus on Early Anticipation: When driving in snowy conditions, it's best to anticipate early, especially when approaching intersections. Release the accelerator in advance to control speed and avoid sudden braking while driving. By managing speed and reducing the frequency of braking, smooth driving can help prevent skidding and loss of control during the journey.
