When the temperature gauge reading reaches 100 degrees, you should stop or drive at low speed. Here are the details: 1. Introduction: The car temperature gauge usually has two letters, C and H, or uses white and red zones to indicate. C stands for cold, and H stands for hot. If the temperature gauge approaches the H or the red danger zone, and the temperature warning light comes on in severe cases, it indicates that the engine coolant is too high. 2. How the temperature gauge works: The sensor of the temperature gauge is a thermistor-type sensor. It is fixed to the engine cooling water passage with threads. The thermistor determines the current flowing through the coil winding of the temperature gauge, thereby driving the pointer to swing. In the past, tap water was used as the cooling water for car engines. Now, many car engine cooling systems use special coolant. Therefore, it is also called the coolant temperature gauge.

What is the difference between Super Select 4WD and part-time 4WD?

Here are the specific differences between Super Select 4WD and part-time 4WD: Switching between 2WD and 4WD: Part-time 4WD requires stopping the vehicle to switch modes, and after switching, the vehicle can hardly turn, so it usually operates in 2WD mode. Super Select 4WD, on the other hand, allows switching between 2WD and 4WD modes while driving at high speeds without stopping. Structure: Part-time 4WD uses a purely mechanical structure, which is more reliable than Super Select 4WD. Turning: Super Select 4WD, equipped with an inter-axle differential, allows high-speed turns on any road in 4WD mode, whereas full-time 4WD cannot.

What are the reasons why a car cannot start after being left unused for a long time?

The reasons why a car cannot start after being left unused for a long time are: 1. The carburetor has no fuel; 2. The engine lacks lubrication from engine oil, causing dry friction in components like pistons and crankshafts; 3. The battery is dead; 4. The air-fuel mixture ratio is abnormal; 5. The power supply voltage of the ignition system is unstable; 6. The throttle valve, intake valve, or idle speed motor is too dirty. Maintenance methods for a car left unused for a long time: 1. If the car is left unused for a long time, it needs to be started every one or two weeks to prevent engine failure; 2. When the car is left unused for a long time, clean the exterior and interior in advance, as dirt on the car paint that is not cleaned for a long time will damage the paint; 3. Keep the battery fully charged, and regularly inspect and maintain the car battery to prevent battery depletion.

What is the legal modification list for the 10th-generation Civic?

10th-generation Civic legal modification list includes: brakes, tires, body kits, and spoilers. Below are the details about the modifications: 10th-generation Civic legal modification list: Brakes: Modifying brakes is legal, but it is important to pay attention to the products used for brake modifications to prevent potential safety hazards while driving. Tires: If the modification involves tires of the same size with only a change in appearance while using the original car tires, such modifications can generally pass the annual inspection. If tires of different sizes are modified, it is necessary to promptly file a record with the vehicle management office. Body kits: Modifying body kits is a relatively extensive modification, including front lips, front bumpers, side skirts, rear lips, and rear bumpers. When modifying body kits, it is mandatory to file a record with the vehicle management office; otherwise, it is considered illegal. Spoilers: Car spoilers are divided into small spoilers and large spoilers. Modifying small spoilers does not require filing a record, while modifying large spoilers does. Required procedures for vehicle modification: Apply for a change registration at the vehicle management office. Note the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate. Surrender the old driving license and receive a new one. The "New Road Traffic Safety Law" clearly stipulates that vehicle modifications may involve "changing the body color, replacing the engine, or replacing the body or frame." The owner must apply for a change registration at the vehicle management office within 10 days after the modification. The vehicle management office must process the relevant procedures on the same day of acceptance, including noting the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, surrendering the old driving license, and issuing a new one. Owners no longer need to apply to the vehicle management office in advance for modifications. They can first change the vehicle color, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for a change registration at the vehicle management office.

Is Tesla Made Entirely of Aluminum Body?

Tesla is not entirely made of aluminum body. The Model-S developed and manufactured by Tesla features an all-aluminum body, while models like the Model 3 adopt a steel-aluminum hybrid body structure. The primary reason for Tesla's shift to a steel-aluminum hybrid body is manufacturing costs, which allows for further reduction in product pricing to attract more consumers. The Model-S developed by Tesla uses an all-aluminum body, balancing lightweight and high-strength characteristics. Besides the body, most materials in its front and rear suspensions are also aluminum. From a manufacturing perspective, the production method of this car is fundamentally different from other vehicles. Since aluminum alloy materials are sensitive to heat, traditional welding processes can lead to reduced material strength. Additionally, due to heat-induced deformation, achieving precise dimensional accuracy in assembling an all-aluminum body is challenging. The Model 3 employs a steel-aluminum hybrid body structure also because high-strength aluminum alloys incur higher costs in manufacturing and maintenance. Aluminum alloys are not only more expensive in material procurement but also complicate the automotive production process. Due to the inherent properties of aluminum alloys, ensuring sufficient strength requires various riveting and welding techniques during the body assembly stage, naturally increasing processing costs. Therefore, all-aluminum bodies are currently more common in relatively higher-priced models such as the Land Rover Range Rover, Jaguar XF, and F-PACE.

Below are specific details about the motor vehicle license: Overview of the Vehicle License: The motor vehicle license is a legal document that permits the vehicle to operate on roads within China. Components of the Vehicle License: The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed license core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in a plastic cover. The supplementary page is also an endorsed license core. Legal Consequences of Not Carrying the License: Driving without the vehicle license is a violation of regulations, whether the driver has not obtained the license or simply forgot to carry it.
