When the vehicle is not turned off, it cannot be locked. Even if some car models can lock the doors without turning off the engine, they will automatically shut down after locking. The reasons why a vehicle cannot be locked without turning off the engine are as follows: 1. This is for safety considerations. After parking, if the vehicle remains in one position for a long time, the accumulation of exhaust gases may enter the car through the air intake (since the vehicle is not completely sealed, even with the internal circulation turned on, it is unavoidable). 2. If someone is locked inside the car, inhaling the exhaust gases may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

What kind of oil is added to the steering gear of large vehicles?

Large vehicle steering gears use hydraulic transmission fluid. Functions of power steering fluid: Power steering fluid is primarily a medium oil added to the power steering system, serving to transmit steering force and provide cushioning. Essentially, power steering fluid is a type of hydraulic transmission fluid. As long as it meets the relevant requirements, it can be used. Many repair shops use automatic transmission fluid as a substitute. Nowadays, hydraulic power steering is becoming increasingly rare, gradually being replaced by electric power steering, and many vehicles no longer require this type of fluid. Power Steering: When a car is turning, the torque (steering) sensor "feels" the steering wheel's torque and the intended direction of rotation. These signals are sent to the electronic control unit via the data bus. The control unit then issues action commands to the motor controller based on the transmitted torque, intended direction, and other data signals. The motor then outputs the corresponding amount of rotational torque as needed, thereby generating power steering.

What is the function of the automotive engine activated carbon canister?

The automotive engine activated carbon canister contains activated carbon, which functions to adsorb gasoline vapors from the fuel tank. When the engine is under load, the ECU controls the opening of the solenoid valve to direct the fuel vapors into the intake manifold behind the throttle body for combustion in the engine. Additional information: 1. High-tech nano-photocatalysts loaded on the microporous inner walls can decompose harmful gases adsorbed by the carbon under light conditions, enabling regeneration and reuse; 2. High-quality porous coconut shell activated carbon with a large specific surface area and superior adsorption capacity is used to effectively remove harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, and TVOC; 3. It exhibits strong inorganic antibacterial properties, long-lasting effectiveness, broad-spectrum activity, and safety for use, posing no harm to human health; 4. It can be used to remove various harmful organic compounds like formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, and TVOC from the interior of vehicles, thereby purifying the air.

How to Secure a Fire Extinguisher in a Car?

Methods to secure a fire extinguisher in a car: Purchase a car fire extinguisher mounting strap and fix it in front of the passenger seat or under the seat—anywhere that is convenient to access without hindering movement. If placed in the car trunk, you can use a dedicated car fire extinguisher holder for fixation. The usage steps of a fire extinguisher are: 1. Bring the fire extinguisher near the fire location and stand upwind; 2. Pull out the safety pin; 3. Hold the nozzle firmly with one hand; 4. Press the lever with the other hand; 5. Aim the nozzle at the base of the flames and sweep. Types of car fire extinguishers include: 1. Aerosol fire extinguishers; 2. Dry powder fire extinguishers; 3. Ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers; 4. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers; 5. Water-based fire extinguishers.

What Causes the Car AC Compressor to Make Noise When Turned On?

It may be caused by excessive engagement gap of the electromagnetic clutch. Below is relevant information about automotive air conditioning: 1. Introduction to Automotive Air Conditioning: The automotive air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, designed to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, providing a comfortable environment for the driver. 2. Working Principle: When the compressor operates, it draws in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. Inside the condenser, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser, causing it to liquefy into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant then flows through the throttle device, where its temperature and pressure decrease, and it enters the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the cabin air passing through the evaporator, causing it to evaporate into a gas. The gas is then drawn into the compressor again for the next cycle.
