Generally, engine carbon deposits should be cleaned every 20,000 kilometers. Methods for self-cleaning carbon deposits in cars are as follows: Use higher-grade gasoline for flushing. Since the octane value of high-grade gasoline is relatively lower than that of low-grade gasoline, it burns more completely and cleanly, resulting in a relatively lower possibility of carbon deposit formation; Drive more on highways. High-speed driving utilizes the scouring effect of airflow on the intake ports to prevent carbon deposit formation. In addition to increasing the transmission speed, it also has a similar effect as driving more on highways; Shift gears at 2,500 RPM instead of the original 2,000 RPM. This can effectively prevent carbon deposits, improve the car's power, and avoid engine knocking caused by excessively low transmission speed, thereby protecting the engine. Functions of car engines: The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle. It determines the car's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines, among others.

How many years is the engine warranty period?

According to China's Three Guarantees Law, the warranty period for automobile engines should be at least 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. However, most automakers currently implement a standard warranty period of 2 years or 60,000 kilometers for new vehicles, with specific terms subject to the warranty manual. Typically, new vehicles come with a three-year warranty covering the engine, chassis, and transmission. Since these major components are not prone to wear, they can be repaired or replaced free of charge during the warranty period. Other warranty-covered items include tires, bulbs, batteries, wiper blades, spark plugs, the four major filters (air, cabin air, fuel, and oil), brake fluid, brake pads, remote control batteries, clutch plates, transmission fluid, engine oil and coolant, and hydraulic fluid. The warranty periods for these wear-and-tear parts are clearly stated in the warranty manual or Three Guarantees certificate. Note that not all repairs are free; specific details should be checked in the warranty manual.

Does the Geely Binyue have auto start-stop?

Geely Binyue is equipped with auto start-stop. Binyue Engine Start-Stop Technology: The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving, and restarts it automatically when needing to proceed. This system helps reduce unnecessary fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improve the Binyue's fuel efficiency. How to Use Auto Start-Stop: The auto start-stop system activates automatically when the car is started. When encountering traffic lights or other situations requiring a stop, press the brake pedal - the engine will typically shut off automatically after two seconds. To resume driving, simply release the brake and press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, at which point the engine will restart automatically.

Are Fog Lights the Same as Hazard Lights?

Fog lights are not hazard lights. Hazard lights are the left and right turn signals of a car. When hazard lights are turned on, the fog lights do not activate, but the left and right turn signals will flash. The functions of fog lights are: 1. Front fog lights are used to improve illumination when road conditions ahead are unclear, helping to alert oncoming drivers; 2. Rear fog lights make the vehicle more visible to those behind in low-visibility conditions. The functions of hazard lights are: 1. To alert other vehicles in case of breakdowns, accidents, or emergencies; 2. To prevent rear-end collisions when parking on the roadside. Situations where hazard lights should be used include: 1. Vehicle breakdown or traffic accidents on the road; 2. Parking on the roadside; 3. Driving in foggy conditions; 4. When towing a malfunctioning vehicle, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on hazard lights; 5. Temporary stops on the road; 6. Visibility less than 100 meters; 7. Transporting critically ill patients; 8. Reversing or making a U-turn on complex road sections.

Why does the brake warning light come on when stepping on the brake?

The reasons for the brake warning light coming on are: 1. Insufficient brake fluid; 2. Brake pads worn to the limit; 3. Short circuit in the brake warning light circuit. The function of the brake is to reduce speed or stop the vehicle. Its working principle is to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. The maintenance methods for brakes include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the brake system, avoid brake pads seizing due to high temperatures, and eliminate brake squealing; 2. Regularly replace brake fluid; 3. Clean the brake discs, brake drums, and any parts from oil stains, dirt, and friction dust to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs; 4. Regularly check the thickness of the brake pads or brake shoes.

Why does the Nissan Paladin idle shake?

Nissan Paladin idle shaking may be caused by severe engine carbon deposits or unstable oil pressure. Severe engine carbon deposits: When there is excessive carbon buildup, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean mixture during cold starts. This makes starting difficult. After the engine starts, the gasoline adsorbed on the carbon deposits is then sucked into the cylinder by the engine's vacuum and burned, making the mixture too rich. The engine's combustible mixture alternates between being too lean and too rich, causing idle shaking after a cold start. Unstable oil pressure: If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or if the intake pressure sensor values are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can cause the vehicle to shake. The solution is to check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary.

Why does the Wuling Hongguang mini steering wheel deviate?

Wuling Hongguang mini steering wheel deviation is generally caused by gaps in the vehicle chassis-related components or issues with the steering gear. Adjusting the height of the Wuling Hongguang steering wheel: First, locate the adjustment switch below the Wuling Hongguang car steering wheel, open the adjustment switch of the Wuling Hongguang car steering wheel, and move the steering wheel of the Wuling Hongguang car up and down. You can use the dashboard of the Wuling Hongguang car as a position reference. Wuling Hongguang steering wheel correction tools: A positioning device is required, along with computer judgment, to adjust the toe-in. After adjusting the steering wheel, make sure to close the adjustment switch of the Wuling Hongguang car steering wheel properly.
