When the engine speed changes, the phase relationship between the breaker cam and the distributor shaft is automatically altered to adjust the ignition timing angle. By utilizing the centrifugal force generated by weights that increases with speed to overcome the spring force and swing outward, the linkage mechanism causes the cam to advance an angle on the shaft, thereby increasing the ignition timing angle.

Is it necessary to change license plates when moving to a different city?

If the new location implements traffic restrictions for non-local vehicles, it is advisable to change the license plate number to ensure convenience for future vehicle use. Currently, the following cities have implemented traffic restrictions for non-local vehicles: 1. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, and Hangzhou. 2. If the new location is in one of these cities and the vehicle owner uses the car frequently, the license plate should be changed. 3. Currently, annual vehicle inspections can be conducted nationwide, so if the vehicle reaches its inspection deadline, the owner can directly handle it at the local vehicle management office without returning to the original location. Therefore, if the new location does not implement traffic restrictions, there is no need to change the license plate number.

Can You Directly Top Up the Car's Antifreeze When It's Low?

You can directly top up the car's antifreeze when it's low. If the antifreeze loss is within a reasonable range, you can add it yourself, but you should use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so antifreeze from different brands should not be mixed. The main functions of antifreeze are to prevent freezing and provide cooling, with characteristics of a very high boiling point and a very low freezing point, making it ideal for use in a car's engine. Most antifreeze products have a validity period of two years. When adding, ensure the product is within its validity period. When replacing, drain the old antifreeze completely, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add new antifreeze.

Why is the right side always too narrow when reversing into the right parking space?

The reason why the right side is too narrow when reversing into the right parking space is that the steering wheel is turned too early. The following methods can be used to remedy the situation when the right side is too narrow during right reverse parking: 1. By observing the distance between the car body and the corner of the parking space, if there is still space, you can remedy it by straightening the steering wheel. One method is to immediately turn the steering wheel one full circle to the left and then continue reversing; another method is to straighten the steering wheel slightly earlier than usual and then make the necessary adjustments. 2. If you notice that the right side is too narrow after most of the car body has entered the parking space, simply turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the left, and the car body will straighten out.

What does a red exclamation mark in a car mean?

A red exclamation mark in a car indicates a brake system malfunction, which could be caused by a fault in the brake system or severe wear of the brake pads. In such cases, you should drive at a low speed and have the vehicle inspected at a repair shop as soon as possible. Warning lights indicate a fault in a certain part of the vehicle, and the exclamation mark warning light is one of them. The brake system warning light may be triggered by low brake fluid levels. Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the car's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle.
