Pull the hood release handle, open the hood, and secure it with the support rod. Use a wrench to remove the air filter tube. Start the car and press the accelerator at the throttle body position. Note that you need to press the accelerator harder, otherwise the engine may stall. Then use carburetor cleaner to clean the throttle body. Wipe away the carbon deposits with a cloth or paper, being careful not to get any on the wiring. Continue until there are no more carbon deposits and the throttle body is completely clean. This means the throttle body has been successfully cleaned.

Is a Financed Car with Original Manufacturer Lien Safe?

You cannot schedule Subject 2 (Driving Test) at 12:00 midnight. Here is relevant information about Subject 2: Time limits for Subject 2: Exceeding 210 seconds for reverse parking results in failure. Exceeding 90 seconds for parallel parking results in failure. Taking eyes off the driving direction for over 2 seconds during operation results in failure. Failing to start within 10 seconds when there are no vehicles or pedestrians affecting passage ahead results in failure. Turning the steering wheel within less than 3 seconds after activating the turn signal for starting, turning, changing lanes, overtaking, or parking results in failure. Subject 2 techniques: After starting the engine and before moving the car, the driver should first press the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, separating the engine from the drivetrain. Then shift the gearbox into gear and gradually release the clutch pedal to engage the clutch. During engagement, as the resistance torque on the engine gradually increases, simultaneously press the accelerator pedal progressively to increase fuel supply to the engine, keeping the engine speed at the minimum stable RPM to prevent stalling.

How often should a new private car be inspected?

For new cars classified as private vehicles, inspections are required every two years, and these inspections do not require on-site testing. According to the "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Motor Vehicle Inspection Work," all newly manufactured passenger cars and other small and micro passenger vehicles are exempt from safety technical inspections before initial registration. Chinese laws and regulations stipulate the following inspection frequencies: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: annual inspection for the first 5 years; every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. 2. Trucks and large/medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: annual inspection for the first 10 years; every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. 3. Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles: biennial inspection for the first 6 years; annual inspection after exceeding 6 years; every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. 4. Motorcycles: biennial inspection for the first 4 years; annual inspection after exceeding 4 years. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: annual inspection. Commercial vehicles that pass safety inspections within the prescribed period are exempt from repeated safety technical inspections.

How to Deal with Vehicle Stability Control System Malfunction?

If the vehicle stability control system malfunctions, it indicates that the system is either turned off or experiencing a fault. If you accidentally pressed the ESP OFF button on the vehicle, simply press it again briefly to reactivate the ESP. However, if the ESP OFF light is on due to a system malfunction, immediate repair is necessary. Solutions for vehicle stability system malfunctions are as follows: 1. Replace the throttle body: If the throttle actuator is stuck in the closed position and the ECM commands the throttle to open but the actuator remains stuck, check the electronic throttle fuse and wiring harness. If these are fine, measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 (throttle motor coil). If abnormal, replace the throttle body. 2. Decode the fault code: If the vehicle stability system shows an electronic control system fault, use a diagnostic scanner at a repair shop to read the fault code and proceed with repairs. 3. ESP system: The ESP system consists of a control unit and various sensors, including a steering sensor (monitors the steering angle of the steering wheel), wheel sensors (monitor the speed of each wheel), a yaw sensor (monitors the vehicle's rotation around the vertical axis), and a lateral acceleration sensor (monitors centrifugal force during turns).

Where is the car windshield defroster switch symbol located?

The car windshield defroster switch symbol is located on the center console. Methods to defog the windshield include: 1. When the fog is light, open the window—when the inside and outside temperatures are similar, the fog will dissipate; 2. Turn on the car's air conditioning; 3. Turn on the heating system before driving; 4. Activate the car's defogging function; 5. Apply a mixture of dish soap and water or soapy water to the windshield; 6. Place a dehumidifier box (like those used in wardrobes) inside the car. The reason for windshield fogging is: The temperature inside the car is relatively high, and when the warm air inside meets the cold windshield, the moisture in the air condenses, forming a layer of mist on the glass. This obstructs the driver's view, making the road ahead appear blurry.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Honda CR-V in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Honda CR-V is 53 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Honda CR-V can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Honda CR-V requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption ranging from 4.9 to 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 726 to 1082 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the specified tank capacity.
