In China, most itasha cars are considered illegal modifications. Current regulations strictly stipulate that the graphics should not exceed 30% of the vehicle's total area, and no more than three colors should be used. Here's some information about itasha cars: 1. Definition: Itasha is a Japanese cultural phenomenon where car owners decorate their vehicles with paintings or decals of their favorite anime characters or anime company logos as a form of automotive decoration. This trend was gradually introduced into China's automotive market and has become part of daily life. 2. Registration with the DMV is required: In China, this type of decoration is classified as a vehicle body modification. After completing the modification, it must be reported to the DMV for registration; otherwise, it will be considered an illegal modification. Driving a car with illegal modifications may result in being stopped by traffic police, and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection without undergoing corrective measures.

How to Turn On the Ambient Lighting in the 2019 Sagitar?

2019 Sagitar ambient lighting activation method: Locate the car option in the central control screen, then find the ambient lighting setting where you can turn on the ambient lights. The ambient lighting consists of flexible high-brightness diffused LED lights, which theoretically fall under the category of illumination lamps. The ambient lighting used in cars primarily employs LED materials, or light-emitting diodes. LEDs are solid-state semiconductor devices that function by converting electricity into light. The 2019 Sagitar is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a peak torque of 175 Nm, with the maximum power output occurring between 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and the peak torque available from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, achieving maximum power between 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and peak torque from 1,750 to 3,000 rpm.

What does it mean when the ECU light is on?

When the ECU light on the vehicle comes on, it indicates that there is a problem with the vehicle's controller. The ECU is the core control device used to manage the electric vehicle motor's startup, operation, forward/reverse movement, speed, stopping, and other electronic components. It acts like the brain of the electric vehicle, being a crucial component that primarily controls the motor's speed while also incorporating various protective functions such as under-voltage protection and current-limiting protection. Therefore, it is essential to inspect the circuit promptly. Below is an introduction to the ECU: The function of the ECU: The ECU can collect data through various sensors, process it, and then control the engine's operation via control mechanisms. Without the ECU and sensors, the engine cannot function properly. The principle of the ECU: The ECU operates by using sensors installed in different locations to monitor the engine's working conditions, including parameters such as engine speed, crankshaft position, exhaust temperature, and exhaust oxygen content. These signals are sent to a dedicated microprocessor, which processes them and issues control signals to adjust the engine's ignition timing and fuel supply optimally, achieving the desired best performance.

What Causes the Failure of the Driver's Window to Roll Up or Down?

Reasons for the failure of the driver's window to roll up or down include damaged wiring, motor overheating, aging rubber seals, and loss of initial data. Damaged Wiring: If there is a burnt smell or unusual noises inside the door panel when holding down the window button for a long time, it is likely that the window lift motor components are damaged, and immediate repair at a service center is necessary. Motor Overheating: To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors are equipped with an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for any reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window to fail to roll up or down. Immediate repair at a service center is required. Aging Rubber Seals: The inability of the window glass to roll up or down is often caused by mechanical jamming. Simply cleaning the guide rails and applying some lubricant can resolve the issue. However, if the problem is due to aging or deformation of the rubber seals, new seals need to be replaced. Loss of Initial Data: Disconnecting the battery or the power or ground wire of the window control module during maintenance of other systems can cause the loss of the window's initialization data, leading to the failure of the window to roll up or down. In this case, the power or ground wire of the window control module needs to be reconnected.
