On car tires, there is a small oval circle containing a 4-digit number. This 4-digit number represents the production date: the first two digits indicate the production week, and the last two digits indicate the year. Here are four additional points about tires: 1. Severe tread wear: Check the tire tread. As friction time increases, the depth of the tread decreases. When the tread depth reaches 3mm, it's time to replace the tire. 2. Tire bubbling: Bubbling is mostly caused by inconsistent tire strength. If this occurs, do not continue driving; take the tire to a repair shop or 4S store immediately. 3. Abnormal tire pressure: High tire pressure makes braking difficult to control, while low tire pressure reduces vehicle power. It's essential to check tire pressure before driving. 4. Tire cuts: If the cut is severe, replace the tire to avoid safety hazards.

Are the headlights of the Geely Emgrand integrated for high and low beams?

The headlights of the Geely Emgrand are not integrated for high and low beams. Headlights: The combination headlights are located at the front of the vehicle, primarily serving the purpose of illumination and signaling. The light emitted by the headlights illuminates the road ahead, enabling the driver to drive safely at night. Combination Taillights: The combination taillights are located at the rear of the vehicle, mainly serving the purpose of illumination and signaling. Turn signals are used to indicate left or right turns to other road users, and regulations require them to be amber in color. License plate lights are primarily used to illuminate the license plate, allowing people to identify the vehicle's license plate at night.

What are the reasons why the Haval H2s cannot disengage from P gear?

If the transmission cannot disengage from P gear, it is likely due to cold weather and insufficient starting voltage. The solution is to drive the car more, requiring multiple starts or reconnecting the battery. Definition of Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT): The Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on manual transmission yet belonging to automatic transmission, it not only offers the flexibility of manual transmission and the comfort of automatic transmission but also provides uninterrupted power output. Advantages of Dual-Clutch Transmission: The shift time of a dual-clutch transmission is extremely short, even faster than that of a manual transmission, taking less than 0.2 seconds. Because the dual-clutch transmission eliminates torque interruption, it ensures that the engine's power is continuously utilized and always operates at its best, thereby significantly saving fuel. Compared to traditional planetary gear automatic transmissions, it is more conducive to improving fuel economy, reducing fuel consumption by approximately 15%.

Why is the ABS yellow light on in a sedan?

When a car displays the ABS light, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, preventing the driver from decelerating or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. The ABS light can illuminate in various states, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and the voltage rises, the ABS indicator turns off. This may also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw on the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary.

What does it mean when the ABS light on the car dashboard is on?

When the car displays ABS, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks. The ABS light can illuminate in various states, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on continuously (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Inspect the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage may drop below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, causing the ABS light to turn off. This can also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and verify the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine startup and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body, loose wiring connections in the valve body, or a faulty ABS computer. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, clean the contact surface if necessary, check for enlarged terminal gaps, and replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: The ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals during high-speed driving, possibly due to incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, usually found on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch or poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, manually push the brake switch linkage down fully, then release the pedal to reset its position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary.
