Position the assisting vehicle's front facing the dead vehicle's front, maintaining a distance of about one meter. Then open the engine compartments of both vehicles. Identify the terminals by their colors on the battery: red is positive, black is negative. Connect the battery clamps and jumper cables accordingly. First start the assisting vehicle, wait for two minutes, then start the dead vehicle.

Can a temporary ID card be used for the Subject 3 driving test?

Yes, a temporary ID card holds the same legal validity as a permanent one. The temporary ID is valid for three months, so please check its expiration date before use. Here is relevant information: 1. Regulations: Identity proof refers to the resident identity card, which can be either the "Resident Identity Card" or the "Temporary Resident Identity Card". For mainland residents living temporarily away from their permanent residence, the identity proof includes the "Resident Identity Card" or "Temporary Resident Identity Card", along with the residence or temporary residence certificate issued by the public security authorities. 2. Temporary ID card: Apply at the local police station of your permanent residence. Submit your household registration booklet, a recent one-inch black-and-white photo without a hat (the same size standard as for the resident ID card), and pay the certificate fee. For citizens under 16 years old, the application should be made by their guardian.

What to Do When the Car Shows High Engine Water Temperature?

It is necessary to check whether the radiator coolant is normal and whether there is any leakage in the radiator, cooling hoses, and various components. Below are the inspection methods for high engine water temperature in cars: 1. When the engine is overheated, if the upper hose is hot but the lower hose is not, it indicates a problem with the thermostat. 2. If there is high pressure in the hoses when starting a cold engine, it suggests a cracked cylinder or cylinder wall. 3. If there is a milky white substance on the oil cap or floating oil in the coolant, it indicates a cracked cylinder or leakage in the oil cooler. 4. If certain areas of the radiator are not hot or there is a significant temperature difference, it means the radiator is clogged. 5. If the cooling fan does not turn, you can unplug the water temperature sensor connector to see if the fan turns to determine its condition. 6. If the cooling fan runs continuously, directly read the data stream to check if the water temperature sensor is giving false readings.

What does BMW 4x4 malfunction mean?

BMW 4x4 malfunction refers to the central differential failure. BMW four-wheel drive principle: The central differential understands the vehicle's condition based on information received from sensors, then distributes power transmission between the front and rear axles to achieve four-wheel drive. Function of the central differential: In multi-axle drive vehicles, the drive axles are connected by drive shafts. To allow different input angular speeds between drive axles and eliminate wheel slippage, a central differential (also called inter-axle differential) can be installed between the drive axles. When the vehicle turns, the curve distances covered by the inner and outer wheels are obviously different in the same time period - the outer wheels travel farther than the inner wheels. If both wheels are fixed to the same rigid rotating shaft with equal angular velocity, the outer wheel must experience rolling slip while the inner wheel must experience rolling skid.

What to Do When the Third Cylinder of the Engine Misfires?

First, confirm that the third cylinder is not working by pulling off the high-voltage wire to test for spark. The next step is to measure the cylinder pressure. If it is normal, check the fuel injector circuit. If the circuit is normal, clean the fuel injector. Inspect the spark plug, piston rings, and cylinder. Examine the distributor, the third cylinder's distributor rotor, the third cylinder's spark plug wire, and the third cylinder's spark plug to identify the cause. Advantages of a three-cylinder engine: 1. Compact size and lightweight. If you've ever visited a repair shop, you might have noticed that just two mechanics can easily handle the installation and removal, which undoubtedly makes later maintenance much more convenient. 2. Fewer cylinders mean a relatively smaller displacement, naturally leading to lower fuel consumption and further reducing vehicle operating costs. 3. A turbocharged three-cylinder engine's power output is not inferior to that of a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.

What causes unstable idle speed in a car?

The reasons for unstable idle speed in a car include: 1. Severe carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon buildup in the engine is the main cause of car shaking. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during startup, which can cause sudden stalling. Solution: Clean the fuel system, check the idle speed control valve, and clean the throttle body. 2. Malfunction in the ignition system: Spark plugs are wearable parts and need to be replaced regularly. Solution: Replace the spark plugs. 3. Issues with fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor: If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor's readings are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can cause the car to shake or even stall. Solution: Inspect and repair the relevant components.

What is the correct method for adding refrigerant?

There are two methods for adding refrigerant: 1. High-pressure side charging: Charging from the bypass port (multi-purpose channel) of the compressor discharge valve (high-pressure valve) is called high-pressure side charging, and the refrigerant added is in liquid form. It is characterized by safety and speed, and is suitable for the first charging of the refrigeration system, i.e., the system charging after leak detection and vacuuming. However, it must be noted that the compressor must not be turned on during charging (the engine must be stopped), and the refrigerant tank must be inverted. 2. Low-pressure side charging: Charging from the bypass port (multi-purpose channel) of the compressor suction valve (low-pressure valve) is called low-pressure side charging, and the refrigerant added is in gaseous form. It is characterized by slow charging speed and can be used when supplementing refrigerant to the system.
