Vehicle start-stop functionality does not damage the engine. If it were harmful, this technology would not be installed. The functions of start-stop technology are as follows: 1. Reduce fuel consumption: When the vehicle is idling for extended periods, such as at traffic lights or in traffic jams, pausing the engine operation can prevent unnecessary fuel output, thereby lowering fuel consumption. 2. Reduce wear: When the car's engine is running, internal cylinders continuously move. The start-stop system pauses the engine operation, reducing friction caused by moving internal parts, thus minimizing wear and tear.

How does the Focus electric fan module work?

Focus electric fan module working principle: The car electric fan is controlled by a thermostat. When the water temperature rises to the upper limit, the thermostat turns on the power supply, and the fan starts working; when the water temperature drops to the lower limit, the thermostat turns off the power supply, and the fan stops working. The following is about the car electric fan: 1. The high and low speeds of the fan are controlled by the thermal switch (F18), which has two gears and is installed on the radiator to detect the water temperature. 2. It sends the two-gear signal to J293, which then conducts different open circuits to control the high and low speeds of the electric fan. 3. When the air conditioning is turned on, both fans should rotate. However, it should be noted that the air conditioning and the electric fan are two relatively independent systems, controlled by two computers, named J301 (air conditioning) and J293 (electric fan). J301 only sends a signal to J293 to force the two electric fans to start.

Which Button is the Rearview Mirror Heater Switch?

The rearview mirror heating button icon is shaped like three upward-curving arrows inside a square frame. There are generally two designs: one is integrated with the electric rearview mirror adjustment combination switch, and the other is located on the air conditioning control panel. Principle of rearview mirror heating: Heating elements (electric heating films) are installed inside the mirror lenses on both sides. In rainy or snowy weather, when the driver activates the rearview mirror heating function, the heating elements quickly warm up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirrors to remove fog and frost. Rearview mirror heating switch: Knob-type switch: On the driver's side door, there is a knob at the front left with several symbols: L, 0, R, and a heating symbol. The heating symbol, shaped like three upward-curving arrows inside a square frame, is the rearview mirror heating switch. Turning the knob to the heating symbol activates the rearview mirror heating function. Button-type switch: On the control panel, the button is shaped like three upward-curving arrows inside a square frame. Pressing the button activates the rearview mirror heating function.

How many kilometers should transmission fluid be changed?

Transmission fluid should generally be changed every 80,000 kilometers. The effects of not changing transmission fluid include: 1. Reduced power; 2. Difficulty in starting; 3. Overheating of the transmission leading to damage; 4. Gear shifting becomes jerky and uneven, with abnormal noises from the transmission fluid. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. Keeping the gear system clean; 2. Lubricating the transmission components; 3. Cooling effect; 4. Sealing effect. Depending on its structure, transmission fluid can be classified into manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid. The reason for changing transmission fluid is that prolonged use reduces its lubricating and sealing properties.
