Nissan's method for checking the oil dipstick is as follows: 1. Locate the oil dipstick. The oil dipstick is usually located near the engine, either on top or on the side. It has a distinctive feature—a pull ring—making it easy to identify. 2. Pull out the oil dipstick. Note that checking the oil level must be done when the vehicle is cool. If you've just driven or the engine is running, the reading will be inaccurate. 3. Clean the dipstick. After pulling it out the first time, wipe it clean with a tissue, then reinsert it. 4. Pull out the oil dipstick a second time and check the oil level on the dipstick. 5. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates the oil level is normal. The upper and lower limits are usually marked with clear indicators.

Why is the car handbrake warning light on?

The reasons for the handbrake light to illuminate are as follows: 1. Handbrake not fully released: It is possible that the handbrake has not been truly released to its position. Even if the handbrake is released, it may not press the switch. In this case, the driver should repeatedly confirm whether the handbrake is in place. 2. Insufficient brake fluid: Lack of brake fluid can also cause the handbrake light to illuminate. When the brake fluid level falls below the safety line, the handbrake light may stay on continuously, or there may be false alarms. For example, when driving uphill or braking sharply, due to excessive slope or fluid turbulence, the fluid level indicator may give a false alarm. For such occasional alerts, if the brake fluid is indeed low, adding an appropriate amount of brake fluid can turn off the handbrake light. 3. Brake pad issues: Worn brake pads or foreign objects entering can also cause the handbrake light to stay on. Because the surface of the brake disc has become uneven, stepping on the brake may also be accompanied by sharp metal friction sounds. This situation can also lead to insufficient braking force, longer braking distance, and softer braking. In this case, simply replacing the brake pads can solve the problem.

What is the function of the automotive starting system?

The function of the automotive starting system is to convert the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy through the starter motor, thereby initiating the engine operation. The starting switch activates the electromagnetic switch circuit of the starter motor, enabling the electromagnetic switch to operate. In gasoline engines, the starting switch is integrated with the ignition switch. The starting relay controls the on/off state of the starter motor's electromagnetic switch circuit via its contacts (normally open type), while the starting switch only controls the coil circuit of the starting relay, thereby protecting the starting switch. The starting system consists of the battery, ignition switch, starting relay, and starter motor. The starter motor, commonly referred to as the "motor," is composed of three main components: a DC motor, a transmission mechanism, and a control mechanism. The DC motor's role is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, generating electromagnetic torque. The transmission mechanism's function is to engage the drive gear with the engine flywheel ring gear, transmit the DC motor's electromagnetic torque to the crankshaft, and promptly disconnect the power transmission between the crankshaft and the DC motor to prevent the crankshaft from being driven backward. The control mechanism's purpose is to connect or disconnect the main circuit between the starter motor and the battery, as well as to engage or disengage the drive pinion. Some pneumatic control mechanisms also feature an auxiliary switch that can short-circuit the ignition switch during startup to increase ignition energy.

What is the function of an automotive air conditioning condenser?

The function of an automotive air conditioning condenser is to rapidly transfer heat from the tubes to the surrounding air. Most air conditioning condensers are installed at the front of the vehicle. The condenser is a device that converts gas or vapor into liquid. To improve efficiency, heat dissipation fins are often attached to the pipes to accelerate cooling. The automotive air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and enhancing driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators for evaluating whether a vehicle is fully equipped with necessary functions.
