I'm also quite concerned about the chip situation at Dongfeng Honda. During the global chip shortage last year, it did affect production schedules, with some cars at the factory having to queue for chips. I heard that delivery times for popular models like the Civic and CR-V were one or two months longer than usual. However, they managed adjustments well by prioritizing core models and coordinating inventory with other suppliers. Over the past six months, chip supply has gradually recovered, and dealer inventories have increased. While it's not completely without impact, customers ordering cars now generally don't face the long waits they did before. I recommend visiting a 4S store to inquire—discounts and current vehicle availability are usually transparent. The chip shortage is an industry-wide issue, and Dongfeng Honda's response has been relatively timely, without affecting daily driving quality.

What is the function of the Cruze sensor?

Chevrolet Cruze thermostat sensor serves the following functions: 1. Detect water temperature. As a temperature sensor, its primary function is to detect temperature. When the vehicle experiences issues such as excessive load, water shortage, incorrect ignition timing, non-rotating fan, or when the coolant temperature rises due to prolonged exposure to the sun in summer, leading to an increase in engine temperature, the owner can be informed through this sensor. 2. Alert the owner to prevent faults. Although the sensor is installed inside the engine, the instrument system is equipped with a coolant temperature gauge. It uses the coolant temperature sensor to detect the engine coolant temperature and then displays it on the dashboard, allowing the driver to visually monitor the engine coolant temperature under any operating condition and take appropriate actions promptly. Additionally, it provides an alarm in case of high temperatures to prevent the car's radiator from boiling.

What does DS gear mean?

DS gear is the sport mode, also known as the climbing gear. Its characteristic is higher shifting RPM, mainly used for mountain road climbing and quick overtaking situations. Here is an introduction to DS gear: 1. In most cases, the automatic DS gear is displayed as D/S, which is the switching between D gear and S gear. 2. The so-called D gear is the drive gear, which is the abbreviation of the English word 'Drive'. When the gear lever is moved into this position, the transmission automatically shifts gears within the engine's RPM range, with the shift point depending on engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed. 3. The gears of an automatic transmission are mostly represented by the letters P, R, N, D, S, and L, which stand for Park (parking gear), Reverse (reverse gear), Neutral (neutral gear), Drive (forward gear), Sport mode, and Low (low-speed mode), respectively. The DS gear is the sport mode, providing more powerful power output. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time, thereby increasing the vehicle's power.

How to Clean Excessive Carbon Deposits in Cars?

There are several methods to clean carbon deposits in cars: 1. Engine disassembly cleaning: In terms of effectiveness, engine disassembly cleaning is undoubtedly the most effective method for removing carbon deposits. However, the entire process requires a significant amount of time and effort. The engine needs to be disassembled, and then cleaning agents, ultrasonic methods, etc., are used to completely and thoroughly remove carbon deposits from the components. Of course, it is also the most expensive option. 2. Intravenous cleaning: A bottle-shaped tool is hung above the engine, and cleaning agents are poured into the bottle. The cleaning agents are then introduced into the engine through a conduit to achieve the purpose of cleaning carbon deposits. However, if the engine has severe carbon deposits, this method may cause the three-way catalytic system to become clogged or damaged. 3. Machine cleaning: Cleaning agents are injected into a machine, which then pressurizes the agents into the combustion chamber. The cleaning agents react with and dissolve the carbon deposits, and the waste liquid is then extracted. This method has a relatively good effect on some severe carbon deposits and does not require engine disassembly. However, it is relatively expensive, and the engine oil needs to be replaced after cleaning.

Does a new car need polishing before crystal coating?

New cars do not require polishing before crystal coating. If the car is brand new and hasn't undergone long-distance transportation or prolonged storage, the paint surface will be smooth without an oxidation layer, making polishing unnecessary before applying the crystal coating. However, if the car has been transported over long distances or stored for an extended period, resulting in a noticeable oxidation layer on the paint, light polishing is required to remove it. This ensures the crystal coating adheres fully to the paint surface for optimal protection. Generally, new cars do not need polishing before crystal coating. More details are as follows: 1. Crystal coating is an upgraded version of car waxing, enhancing the brightness and hardness of the paint to protect it. 2. After crystal coating, owners will notice the paint becomes more transparent and glossy, with increased resistance to scratches and corrosion. 3. Typically, a car won't need waxing for six months after crystal coating. If the paint's brightness diminishes over time or feels rough and less smooth to the touch, consider waxing or reapplying the crystal coating.
