A Kettle Appears on the Car Dashboard?

The kettle icon on the car dashboard is actually the engine oil pressure warning light, usually displayed in red with a drop of water at the spout. This symbol indicates whether the oil pressure is normal. Here are the reasons why the oil pressure warning light might appear: 1. Insufficient oil volume, which reduces the oil pump's output or prevents it from pumping oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure. 2. Overheating of the engine, which can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the clearances and resulting in reduced oil pressure. 3. Clogged oil filter or oil suction screen, which can also decrease oil pressure. 4. Incorrect oil selection: Using the wrong oil or an inappropriate grade can lead to increased leakage due to low oil viscosity during engine operation, thereby reducing oil pressure.

Height restrictions: For heavy and medium-duty trucks, as well as semi-trailers, the height of the cargo from the ground must not exceed 4 meters. For vehicles transporting containers, the height must not exceed 4.2 meters. For other cargo-carrying motor vehicles, the height must not exceed 2.5 meters from the ground. Width restrictions: According to the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' the width must not exceed the width of the vehicle compartment. For two-wheeled motorcycles, the cargo width must not extend more than 0.15 meters beyond the handlebars on either side.

How to Obtain the Inspection Exemption Label in the Ninth Year?

For vehicles that are 9 years old, the following documents need to be submitted to obtain the motor vehicle inspection exemption label: proof of compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance, proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax, and the motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate. Below are the specific details about the annual inspection: 1. New Inspection Regulations: Non-commercial passenger cars, including non-commercial sedans, small and micro passenger vehicles, but not vans or models with 7 seats or more (such as Odyssey, GL8, Highlander 7-seater, etc.), are eligible for the exemption. New vehicles within 6 years are exempt from on-site inspection and only need to apply for the inspection label every two years. Eligible private cars registered after September 2012 can enjoy the exemption policy and require an annual inspection thereafter. Vehicles aged between 6 to 15 years need an annual on-site inspection, while those over 15 years require a semi-annual on-site inspection. 2. Required Documents for Annual Inspection: Owner's ID card, original vehicle registration certificate, valid compulsory insurance policy, and proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax for the current year (usually included in the compulsory insurance policy).

What is the use of a voltage reducer cable?

The function of a voltage reducer cable is to lower the voltage, converting the car's 12V voltage to 5V output for use by the dash cam. The dash cam is an indispensable in-car device for automobiles. There are various methods for powering and installing a dash cam, but the most commonly chosen method is to run a concealed wire to the fuse box, which effectively hides the power cable and maintains the car's interior aesthetics. Since the fuse box voltage is 12V, a voltage reducer cable is required. The wiring method for the voltage reducer cable is as follows: 1. First, install the dash cam in a suitable position and secure it firmly; 2. Connect the voltage reducer cable, run the concealed wire along the A-pillar to the door frame seal, and tuck the wire until it reaches near the fuse box; 3. Open the fuse box, locate the ACC socket, connect the red wire of the voltage reducer cable to ACC, and ground the black wire by screwing it onto the fuse box screw.

What gauge are jumper cables generally used for cars?

Small cars use 16 square millimeter copper cables, trucks use 25 square millimeter copper cables, and heavy trucks use 35 square millimeter copper cables. Since starting the engine requires high current and the battery voltage is low (resulting in even higher current), jumper cables should have as little resistance as possible. Below are the steps for using car jumper cables: 1. Clamp the red cable to the red positive terminal of the "dead vehicle's" battery. 2. Clamp the other end of the red cable to the red positive terminal of the "rescue vehicle's" battery. 3. Clamp the black cable to the black negative terminal of the "dead vehicle's" battery. 4. Then clamp the black cable to the black negative terminal of the "rescue vehicle's" battery. (If the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery is connected first, the dead vehicle's negative terminal must not be connected to the battery's negative terminal but should instead be connected to the car body or grounded). 5. Start the engine of the "rescue vehicle" first, then start the engine of the "dead vehicle." If the dead vehicle still fails to start, check if there is poor contact in the metal connections. After successfully starting the engine, remove the jumper cables in the correct order to avoid potential short circuits.
