No need to turn on other lights when AUTO is on. Relevant introductions about other indicator lights in cars are as follows: Front and rear fog light indicators: These indicators display the working status of front and rear fog lights. When fog lights are activated, both indicators illuminate - the left one indicates front fog lights while the right shows rear fog lights. Turn signal indicators: When turn signals are activated, corresponding indicators flash at a set frequency. When hazard lights are engaged, both indicators illuminate simultaneously. The indicators automatically turn off when the turn signals are deactivated. Seat belt indicator: This indicator shows seat belt status. Depending on vehicle models, it may illuminate for several seconds as a reminder or remain on until the seat belt is fastened, sometimes accompanied by an audible alert.

Why Do Japanese Cars Not Have Particulate Filters?

Most Japanese cars do not have particulate filters because they predominantly use naturally aspirated engines, which produce relatively low levels of exhaust emissions. Therefore, installing particulate filters to improve emission quality is unnecessary. Car owners should note that if their vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, it is advisable to use low-ash engine oil. Low-ash oil generates fewer particulates during operation, thereby reducing the risk of clogging the particulate filter and better protecting both the engine and the filter's lifespan. The working principle of a particulate filter involves coating the diesel particulate filter with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by diesel engines enters the exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. The densely arranged bag filters inside capture the carbon particles on a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the accumulated particles reach a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide before being released.

What Causes the Metallic Sound in the Exhaust Pipe?

The metallic sound in the exhaust pipe is caused by a lean air-fuel mixture. This typically occurs when the engine is at medium to high speeds, resulting in backfiring from the exhaust pipe, which improves or disappears after accelerating. This happens because the spark energy is insufficient to ignite the overly lean mixture, which then enters the exhaust pipe and combusts, causing the backfiring. Therefore, there is no need to be overly concerned about the exhaust pipe noise, as timely attention and resolution should suffice. Below is relevant information about automotive exhaust pipes: 1. Introduction: The automotive exhaust bellows, also known as the exhaust pipe flexible hose, is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler. It provides a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system, thereby reducing vibration and noise, facilitating installation, and extending the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. 2. Application: It is primarily used in light-duty vehicles, compact cars, and buses. Its structure consists of a double-layered corrugated pipe covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings at both ends. To enhance noise reduction, the bellows may include an expansion joint or an internal mesh sleeve.

What does the code35 fault code mean for a Buick?

The code35 fault code in a Buick indicates that the engine temperature is too high. The reasons for high engine temperature include: 1. Lack of coolant; 2. Blockage of dirt or scale in the engine; 3. Damage to the cylinder head gasket; 4. Loose fan belt, insufficient airflow through the radiator; 5. Loose water pump belt, reduced coolant flow; 6. Excessive concentration of antifreeze coolant; 7. Thermostat failure; 8. Blockage of the cooling radiator. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, it is an MPV with body dimensions of 5238mm in length, 1878mm in width, 1776mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3088mm.

Does Bird Droppings Have a Significant Impact on Car Paint?

Bird droppings have a relatively large impact on car paint. Firstly, they are not easy to wash off, and secondly, because bird droppings are corrosive substances, they can damage the car paint. In less severe cases, they can cause the paint to oxidize and lose its luster, while in more severe cases, they can cause the paint to crack, reducing its lifespan. Methods to Remove Bird Droppings from Car Paint: If only a small area is affected, simply place a wet towel over it to soften the droppings. You can use car wash soap and a towel to wipe the marked area until it is clean, and then rinse it again. If the bird droppings have dried, do not remove them directly with paper or a scraper, as this can scratch the paint. Instead, spray tar remover on the droppings and wipe them off with a wet tissue. If you are concerned that the bird droppings might harm the paint, you can opt for paint sealing. Since uric acid is corrosive, sealed paint has better resistance to corrosion. It is also important to develop the habit of washing the car frequently. If the car body gets dirty, clean it promptly; otherwise, contaminants like bird droppings can cause more significant damage to the paint. Car Paint Maintenance Methods: Remove dust from the car body before use, rinse the car promptly after rain, avoid washing the car under direct sunlight, use specialized neutral running water for washing, wipe in the direction of water flow from top to bottom gently, promptly remove contaminants like tar and bird droppings, and avoid frequent paint polishing.

What is the difference between small trade and general trade?

The differences between small trade and general trade include: different nature, different characteristics, and different responsibilities. The details are as follows: Different nature: General trade generally refers to general trade vehicles. These are vehicles imported through formal customs channels, sold by authorized dealers, with purchase tax paid and licensed, allowing for immediate name transfer and ownership change; Small trade refers to small trade vehicles. These are vehicles imported under special tariff discounts granted by the state to encourage investment, available to foreign investors, overseas students, overseas Chinese, or foreign-invested enterprises that meet certain investment thresholds. Such vehicles are referred to as small trade vehicles in the industry. Different characteristics: General trade vehicles must be declared with an import license (foreign-invested enterprises have import licenses), come with a customs goods import certificate, and a commodity inspection certificate from the port of import; Small trade vehicles are generally 10% to 15% cheaper than general trade vehicles in total price, but they can only be registered under the name of the foreign investor or foreign-invested enterprise within one year of import supervision, and can only be transferred or renamed after one year. Different responsibilities: General trade vehicles must legally assume original factory warranty obligations in accordance with China's national mandatory regulations, otherwise they will face penalties such as suspension of imports; Small trade vehicles are imported by applicants or importing units based on their own usage principles, after applying to the national import regulatory authorities. Before import, they must declare that they will bear the risks of vehicle usage themselves.

What documents and materials are required for vehicle registration?

New vehicle registration requires the following materials: the owner's ID card, purchase receipt, vehicle certificate of conformity, compulsory insurance policy, vehicle photos, vehicle purchase tax certificate, and the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form." The first step in the registration process is the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form." After that, proceed to the vehicle management office where the license plate is registered to apply for the registration procedure. Because property issues may be involved during the registration process at the vehicle management office, the office will verify the legitimacy of the vehicle and confirm whether it truly belongs to the individual. In this case, the owner must submit the original and a copy of their ID card. Additionally, the unified invoice for the sale of the motor vehicle and registration documents should be submitted. Before going to the vehicle management office for registration, ensure that the purchase tax and compulsory insurance have been completed, as these are mandatory items. If there is a purchase tax exemption, the original tax exemption certificate must be submitted. If the original is lost, a copy with the official seal from the insurance company can be provided. When registering fire trucks, ambulances, or engineering rescue vehicles, the vehicle management office will review the vehicle's usage nature, emblem patterns, warning lights, and sirens.
