Automobile start-stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts it when needed to continue moving. The causes of start-stop system malfunctions vary, requiring inspection, testing, and judgment. It is important to develop good usage habits. Below are specific reasons for start-stop system malfunctions: 1. The engine coolant temperature has not reached the required level after a cold start (below 70 degrees Celsius); 2. The outside temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, or the interior temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius when heating is on; 3. Insufficient battery charge (below 60%); 4. The steering wheel angle exceeds 30 degrees; 5. Front seat belts are not fastened; 6. Parking on a slope (gradient exceeding 10%).

What is the ranking of Delinte tires?

2015 U.S. UHP tire market share rankings showed that Delinte, a brand under Sentury, made the list with a 2.5% market share, ranking 13th in the U.S. market. It was the only Chinese brand on the list. Meanwhile, in the European passenger car tire replacement market, its share exceeded 3%. Below is relevant information about tires: Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter denotes the rim diameter, measured in inches. For example, 165/70-R14 means a tire width of 165 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. Symbol meanings: The middle letters or symbols have special meanings: "X" represents high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" indicate radial tires; "-" stands for bias-ply tires. Due to their poor safety, load capacity, and high-speed stability, bias-ply tires are only used in some low-end off-road vehicles and heavy-duty trucks.

Should You Engage the Gear or Press the Clutch First When Starting the Car?

Correct procedure is to start the car first, then press the clutch, engage first gear, and release the clutch to start. For manual transmission cars, pay attention to the following points: Coordinate the throttle and clutch: When starting, engage first gear, slowly release the clutch, and apply throttle at the half-clutch point. Only after the car starts moving should you fully release the clutch. Master the timing of gear shifting: Shift gears when the engine speed is around 2000 RPM. First press the throttle, then press the clutch, so the clutch won't be forced to disengage, then shift gears. The gear sequence must be first, second, third, fourth, and fifth gear. Skipping gears is not recommended. Downshift according to the vehicle speed. Change gears frequently during driving: Choose the appropriate gear based on the vehicle speed and road conditions. If you don't change gears frequently, it's easy to cause the car to lug or the engine to rev excessively, increasing wear and fuel consumption. Therefore, it's essential to develop the habit of frequent gear shifting.

Is 30,000 yuan in damage assessment considered a major accident?

It is considered a major accident. Below is a detailed introduction to the relevant content: Conditions: Vehicle damage assessment is a relatively complex matter. The vehicle owner must understand the process of damage assessment to minimize accident losses and avoid unnecessary expenses. Vehicle insurance damage assessment is a key part of the claims process. Although it is not the responsibility of the vehicle owner, the owner must still understand the process to better handle such incidents. The process of vehicle insurance damage assessment: At the first moment of a traffic accident, the police must be reported to determine the accident liability. At the same time, the insurance company will conduct an on-site investigation, assess the damaged vehicle, and proceed with repairs before finally issuing an invoice for the claim. Repairs: Additionally, the vehicle owner needs to be aware that the damage assessment and repairs must be carried out in the same location. In other words, if it has been confirmed with the surveyor in advance that the repairs will be done at a 4S shop, all subsequent matters must also be handled at the 4S shop. This is because the insurance company will reassess the loss amount based on the standards of the repair shop actually chosen by the customer. If the locations differ, it may lead to unnecessary financial burdens.

Why does the car battery light come on in rainy weather?

When the battery light on the car dashboard illuminates, it indicates an issue with the car battery. A yellow light suggests that the battery is low on charge or has run out of power, which can prevent the car from starting. In this case, you can use jump-start equipment to start the car and let it run for a while to recharge the battery. After restarting, the yellow light should disappear, and the battery will return to normal. If a red light appears, it indicates not just a battery problem but a fault in the power supply system. In such cases, it is advisable to turn off all electrical devices in the car and call for roadside assistance. The reasons for the battery light coming on are as follows: Circuit malfunction: If the generator's output voltage is lower than the battery voltage, the generator is not working, or there is a fault in the power supply circuit, the car battery light will illuminate. In this situation, you should take the car to a repair shop to inspect the generator and charging circuit. Low battery charge: If the car battery is low on charge, the battery indicator light will also come on. However, the car can still be used in this condition because the battery can recharge while driving, as it relies on the generator inside the engine.

Is SN Engine Oil Fully Synthetic or Semi-Synthetic?

SN engine oils are all fully synthetic, and SN is the highest grade. Engine oils starting with 'S' are specifically for gasoline engines, meaning they cannot be used in diesel vehicles. The grades of engine oil are categorized into twelve levels: SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, and SN. With each increasing letter, the performance of the engine oil improves over the previous one. Although SN-grade engine oil offers the best performance, it is advisable to use the grade specified by the engine manufacturer. Effects of Low Viscosity Engine Oil on Vehicles: Increased oil consumption, often leading to what is commonly referred to as 'oil burning.' It also results in incomplete combustion, increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, and reduced engine power. Poor sealing performance can cause cylinder leakage, decreased power, and contamination of the oil. Insufficient oil film strength makes it prone to breakdown, accelerating wear between components, and over time, noise levels increase. Effects of High Viscosity Engine Oil on Vehicles: Difficulty in cold engine starts and increased dry friction, which exacerbates component wear. Increased frictional resistance between components reduces engine power. Reduced flowability diminishes the cleaning effectiveness for impurities.

Is the B2 Driver's License Difficult to Obtain?

It is not easy to obtain. The B2 driver's license can be referred to as the 'cargo transport license.' With a B2 license, you can drive all types of trucks except for tractor-trailers (semi-trucks). In the current booming logistics industry, according to survey data from a certain region, the first-time pass rate for the B2 license is only 40%. Below are the specific details about the B2 driver's license: Permitted Vehicle Types: The B2 license allows the holder to drive medium and heavy-duty trucks or specialized operation vehicles. It also permits driving small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. The B2 license does not permit driving passenger buses or tractor-trailers. To drive tractor-trailers, an A2 license is required, while a B1 license is needed for passenger buses. If you wish to drive both passenger buses and trucks, you must apply for either a B1 or A2 license. Application Process: The B2 driver's license can be applied for during the initial driver's license application or by upgrading from a lower-level license. In either case, applicants must submit their application to the local vehicle management office in their registered residence area. Afterward, they must undergo a medical examination and complete the required training and tests at a driving school.
