It's best not to drive. Below are the related reasons for ACC malfunction: 1. Light is on, but driver experiences no abnormalities: There are two scenarios when the warning light comes on. First, although the light is on, there are no unusual sensations while driving, with acceleration and braking functioning normally. In this case, the vehicle can still be driven normally. This might be due to a temporary sensor malfunction that has since resolved, interference from certain external conditions, or a fault that doesn't affect driving performance but may slightly impact emissions. In such situations, you can continue driving temporarily but should visit a repair shop for inspection as soon as possible. 2. Light is on with abnormal driving sensations: Second, when the warning light comes on accompanied by noticeable abnormalities such as severe shaking or weak acceleration, it's strongly advised not to continue driving. Call for roadside assistance or a tow truck instead. If the repair shop is very nearby, you may cautiously drive there. Since these symptoms indicate a serious malfunction, continued driving could worsen the problem, allow damage to accumulate, or even trigger additional failures. Therefore, continuing to drive is not recommended.

Can Home Speakers Be Used in Cars?

Home speakers can indeed be installed in cars, provided that their size matches the original car speakers, and their impedance and power ratings are the same. However, when using home speakers in a car, it's essential to consider the speaker's power requirements and ensure the power supply is converted to 220 volts. There are significant differences between home speakers and car speakers. Home speakers typically operate in environments with minimal temperature variations, such as rooms and living rooms, whereas car speakers are exposed to outdoor conditions with large temperature fluctuations due to weather changes. Therefore, car speakers are made from materials resistant to thermal aging and structural deformation. During the rainy season, car speakers are constantly at risk of moisture exposure, so they must be moisture-proof, and their cones are often made from chemical synthetic materials.

What are the reasons for a car horn not working?

The reasons for a car horn not working include: 1. Insufficient battery charge; 2. Damaged horn relay or button; 3. Damaged horn. During normal vehicle use, if the sound is not crisp but rather muffled and weak, it indicates poor contact at the connection points. If the horn sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, it suggests poor contact inside the switch. If the horn doesn't work at all, check the fuse to see if it's blown, and use a multimeter to measure whether there is electricity at the point when the horn switch is pressed. On one hand, the car horn serves to alert pedestrians and vehicles on the road; on the other hand, it can prevent sudden appearances of vehicles at sharp turns. Therefore, if there is an issue with the car horn, it is advisable to promptly inspect and repair it at a repair shop or 4S store.

Why is water coming out of a sedan's exhaust pipe?

The reasons for water coming out of a sedan's exhaust pipe are: 1. The water discharged from the car's exhaust pipe is accumulated water from high-speed engine operation; 2. The tailpipe at the rear of the vehicle is actually a main muffler, whose primary function is to reduce engine exhaust noise and minimize environmental pollution from vehicle noise. Since the main muffler is located at the rear of the car where temperatures are relatively low, its multi-chamber structure easily accumulates water; 3. During high-speed engine operation, the accumulated water is expelled by airflow, resulting in the common water spray phenomenon. Vehicles frequently driven at low speeds on congested roads, especially in winter, tend to experience slightly more severe water accumulation in the muffler.
