When the car displays a 'Check Engine System' warning, it should not be driven further. This warning indicates that there is an issue with the vehicle's engine, and immediate repairs are necessary. The engine's five major systems consist of the fuel supply system, starting system, cooling system, lubrication system, and ignition system. Repair methods for this warning light: The engine should be turned off, and a specialized diagnostic tool must be connected to read the vehicle's fault codes. The specific issue with the vehicle will be displayed on the diagnostic tool. Based on the identified problem, the vehicle can then be repaired quickly and accurately. Engine maintenance methods: The engine is the core component of a car, and its routine maintenance involves changing the engine oil and the three filters. The three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. Other maintenance items should be performed according to the vehicle's actual usage or the owner's manual to effectively maintain the vehicle and prolong the engine's lifespan.

How to Turn on Fog Lights for Defogging on Rainy Days?

To turn on fog lights for defogging on rainy days, follow these steps: Locate the light control lever below the steering wheel; find the fog light symbol and rotate the control ring; align the front fog light symbol to the 'on' position. Front fog lights are installed slightly lower than the headlights and are used to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather. Other defogging methods include: Opening windows for air circulation: If the fog inside the car is not heavy, you can open a small gap in the side windows to allow air to circulate between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference and gradually dissipates the fog. This method works on the same principle as using the air conditioner to blow cold air but does not increase fuel consumption. However, the downside of opening windows is quite obvious—it is not suitable during rain, snow, high-speed driving, or heavy fog, and it lowers the temperature inside the car. Using the air conditioning system: Turn on the car's fan and cooling switch, and the cold air blowing onto the front windshield will quickly clear the fog. Defogging spray: Apply the defogging spray to the inner surface of the car's windows and wipe it clean. In addition to removing dirt from the glass, it forms a protective film that prevents water vapor from condensing into fog. One application can prevent fogging for about ten days.

How to Use Turn Signals at a Roundabout?

When driving on the outer lane, you may not need to use turn signals. When you need to turn right, use the right turn signal. Since vehicles do not need to change lanes after entering the roundabout, there is no need to use the left turn signal when entering. As you need to cross the right lane inside the roundabout, you should use the right turn signal to alert other vehicles before exiting the roundabout.

Does the Volkswagen Tharu have a particulate filter?

Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with a particulate filter. The particulate filter is located behind the three-way catalytic converter and in front of the muffler, surrounded by front and rear oxygen sensors. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the adsorbed carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide that is then released.

Why does the Mercedes-Benz auto start-stop always show a yellow light?

If the auto start-stop in a Mercedes-Benz always shows a yellow light, it indicates that the battery is low on charge and needs to be recharged. Additional information: Auto Start-Stop Button: The auto start-stop button is located to the left of the cigarette lighter, featuring an icon of a circle with the letter A inside and the letters OFF below. Simply press the button to turn off the auto start-stop. Default Setting: The auto start-stop is enabled by default. Every time the vehicle is restarted, the auto start-stop will activate. This button cannot permanently disable the feature; you need to press it each time you start the vehicle to turn off the auto start-stop. Function: The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light). When it's time to move again, the system automatically restarts the engine. This helps reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Santana Zhijun?

The Volkswagen Santana Zhijun offers 18 models with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Volkswagen Santana Zhijun is a 5-seater sedan, equipped with either a 1.8L or 2.0L engine. Not only does it deliver excellent performance, but it also boasts outstanding fuel efficiency. The 2.0L automatic transmission model has a fuel consumption of only 7.2L/100km at a constant speed of 90km/h, while the 1.8L manual transmission model is even lower at 6.6L/100km, significantly better than other models in the same class. In comparison, the 2022 Bestune B70 2.0T Automatic Zhixiang model in the same class has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key: This method is usually found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Most modern family cars do not use mechanical keys to open the fuel tank due to the relative complexity of the process. In-car switch: The location of the in-car fuel tank switch varies by model. It may be on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, on the left front door panel, or on the center console. It is typically marked with a fuel pump icon. However, it's important to note that using the in-car switch can sometimes lead to forgetting to turn off the engine before refueling, so drivers should always remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The driver simply needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can press to open the fuel tank for refueling. However, when not refueling, drivers should always lock the central control to prevent the fuel tank cap from being opened accidentally. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates that the fuel is running low, while nearing 'F' means the tank is full.
