The method to check the engine oil level is to first turn on the ignition switch, press the infotainment button CAR, and lightly press the Service function panel. If the engine oil level is too low, to avoid overfilling, add a small amount of the appropriate engine oil. After adding, wait for a while to allow the oil to flow into the oil pan, then recheck the engine oil level. Information about engine oil is as follows: Oil grades are classified by quality level and viscosity grade. Oil for gasoline engines is usually denoted by the letter S, while oil for diesel engines is usually denoted by the letter C. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives, where the base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, and additives can improve the shortcomings of the base oil.

What is the reason for P1614 not starting?

The reasons for the fault code P1614 not starting include: throttle blockage and spark plug failure. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Throttle: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is known as the throat of the car engine. 2. Spark plug: The spark plug is an important component of the gasoline engine's ignition system. It introduces high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and causes it to jump across the electrode gap to produce a spark, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. It mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell.

What does the OFF light mean?

Car's OFF light mainly refers to ESP-OFF. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the vehicle from skidding or fishtailing. By default, ESP is automatically turned on, and the OFF light is off. If the OFF light is illuminated, it indicates that the ESP is turned off. Below is additional information: 1. ESP-OFF malfunction: If the ESP-OFF light is on due to a system malfunction, it should be promptly sent to a 4S shop for repair. There are many reasons that can cause the malfunction light to turn on, such as wiring faults, sensor damage, electronic control unit signal errors, or battery depletion. 2. Principle: ESP is particularly sensitive to oversteering or understeering. For example, when a car oversteers (turns too sharply) to the left on a slippery road, it may fishtail to the right. The sensor detects the skid and quickly brakes the right front wheel to restore traction, generating an opposite torque to keep the car in its original lane. The difference between a car with ESP and one with only ABS and ASR is that ABS and ASR can only react passively, while ESP can detect and analyze the vehicle's condition and correct driving errors, preventing problems before they occur.

How to Adjust the Carburetor When a Motorcycle is Hard to Start?

To adjust the carburetor, use a cross-head or flat-head screwdriver. Turning it counterclockwise makes the mixture leaner, while turning it clockwise makes it richer. Adjust while attempting to start the engine until it successfully starts. Here is additional information: 1. Introduction: A carburetor (carburetor) is a mechanical device that mixes a certain proportion of gasoline with air under the vacuum generated by the engine's operation. As a precision mechanical device, the carburetor uses the kinetic energy of the incoming airflow to atomize the gasoline. Its crucial role in the engine can be likened to the 'heart' of the engine. 2. Function of the Carburetor: The carburetor automatically adjusts the mixture's concentration and quantity according to the engine's varying operational demands. To ensure a uniform mixture, the carburetor also has the effect of atomizing the fuel, enabling the machine to operate smoothly.

What Causes the Steering Wheel Rattle in the Hyundai Elantra?

The causes of the steering wheel rattle in the Hyundai Elantra are: 1. Play in the steering gear; 2. Noise from the steering column; 3. Loose ball joints causing noise; 4. Noise from the thrust bearing. When steering noise occurs, the car owner should go to a 4S store to check the source of the noise. The steering system of a car is a system that is prone to noise, as excessive play in certain components of the steering system can cause noise, which is normal. As the vehicle's usage time increases, some components on the chassis may develop increased play. In terms of power, the Elantra is equipped with a 1.6L engine and a 1.8L Nu engine. The 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 127 horsepower and a maximum torque of 155 Nm; the 1.8L engine uses the Nu engine, with a maximum power of 145 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175 Nm.
