Private cars are not equipped with safety hammers. The details are as follows: 1. Benefits of equipping a safety hammer: Unlike public vehicles, private cars are primarily driven by individuals. The biggest advantage of equipping a safety hammer in a private car is that in emergencies, if the doors and windows cannot be opened normally, the hammer can help those trapped inside to break the glass promptly for escape. 2. Function of the safety hammer: Private cars should be equipped with safety hammers as they serve as crucial escape tools in emergencies. By striking the four corners of the window glass with the pointed end of the safety hammer, cracks will appear immediately, and then a kick can dislodge the entire piece of glass. If a safety hammer is not available, hard objects such as high heels or keys can be used to break the car glass for escape. 3. Choosing a safety hammer: Safety hammers, much like fire extinguishers in cars in the past, serve a preventive role. If purchasing a safety hammer, it is advisable to opt for slightly more professional ones. Those multi-functional safety hammers may look fancy but are not practical; in fact, a regular hammer is more practical.

What is the problem when the gear indicator light flashes?

Dashboard gear indicator light flashing is usually caused by transmission overheating protection leading to transmission failure. Below is relevant information about gear indicator light malfunction: Reasons for gear indicator light malfunction: Generally, when a vehicle's gear indicator light flashes, it is mostly due to transmission overheating protection causing transmission failure. To reset the TCU (Transmission Control Unit), follow these steps: Insert the key into the ignition slot. Turn it one position to the right to the power-on but not started state. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold for about 5 seconds. Turn the key one position to the left to the off position without removing it. Release the accelerator pedal. After about 2 minutes, you will hear a slight "click" sound. The TCU reset is now complete. Solutions for gear indicator light flashing: Open the engine compartment and check if the wiring is aged or damaged by rodents. Try engaging all gears to see if they can be shifted normally. If they can, it might be due to improperly installed gear selector switch. Issues with the wiring from the gear selector switch to the computer, such as looseness or corrosion, can also cause the problem. Problems with the transmission or battery can also lead to the D gear indicator light flashing.

What should I do if the engine warning light of Wuling Rongguang is on?

If the engine warning light is on, you can follow these steps: First, check whether the engine is running normally and whether there are problems such as shaking or black smoke. If so, try not to start the engine again. It is particularly important to note that you must not start the engine if the red light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once, or without pressing the clutch, turn the car key halfway to the 'on' position. After the car is powered on, the self-check function will be activated. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe whether the warning light on the dashboard goes off. If the warning light does not go off, please go to a service station as soon as possible to find out the cause. The service station can use a portable diagnostic device to read the fault code, obtain fault information, and carry out targeted repairs. There are mainly 7 reasons why the engine warning light is on: Sensor failure: The sensors mentioned here include water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensor, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or the signal is interrupted, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will cause the engine warning light to come on. Fuel quality issues: If fuel and engine oil are not added as required by the manufacturer, it may cause engine wear and lead to the warning light coming on. Poor combustion of the mixture: Poor combustion of the mixture can cause engine carbon deposits or knocking. After being detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will come on as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, and fuel line blockage can all cause poor combustion of the engine mixture. Turbocharging issues: The intake turbocharging pipeline and turbocharger can also cause the engine warning light to come on. The most common is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leakage, high oil consumption, reduced power, metal noise, and blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issues: If there is a problem with the car's intake, it may cause engine pipeline blockage, and in severe cases, the engine warning light will come on. If the air filter is not clean and not regularly cleaned, it can lead to intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust faults can also cause the engine warning light to come on. The rear oxygen sensor, three-way catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing faults are all causes of exhaust problems, with the three-way catalytic converter being the most common. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-containing lubricant additives, impact damage to the three-way catalytic converter, and engine fuel supply system faults can easily cause three-way catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system failure: If the car's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions, or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can also cause the engine to malfunction and the warning light to come on.
