Methods to remove the car cigarette lighter: 1. Unscrew the shell: For some cars, the cigarette lighter socket has a screw-on shell at the back, which can be unscrewed by turning it counterclockwise and reinstalled by turning it clockwise; 2. Remove screws: For some cars, the cigarette lighter socket is secured with screws at the back. Simply use a wrench to remove the screws to take it off, and reinstall by screwing them back in; 3. Remove the panel: Take off the gear shift lever panel, which is held by plastic clips. Just lift one side by hand or pry it open with a flathead screwdriver to remove the entire panel; 4. Remove panel screws: After removing the gear shift lever panel, the cigarette lighter panel door will automatically open. You will see two black screws that can be removed using an M4 hex key; 5. Remove the panel box: Simply pull out the plastic panel box of the cigarette lighter by hand. When it is pulled out about 10 cm, disconnect the wiring first to fully remove the entire box; 6. Operate the inner and outer rings: The cigarette lighter consists of an outer ring and an inner ring. When using it, press the inner ring in until it reaches a certain temperature, and it will automatically return to its original position. Then, pinch the outer ring and pull it out.

When Should Wheel Alignment Be Performed?

New vehicles should undergo wheel alignment promptly after 3 months of driving and after any collision occurs, with tire rotation recommended every 10,000 kilometers. Additional information about wheel alignment is as follows: 1. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure optimal driving performance and certain reliability. 2. The installation of a car's steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle has specific relative positions. This installation with specific relative positions is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment. 3. Front wheel alignment includes four components: kingpin caster (angle), kingpin inclination (angle), front wheel camber (angle), and front wheel toe-in. Similarly, the two rear wheels also have relative positions in their installation with the rear axle, known as rear wheel alignment, which includes wheel camber (angle) and sequential rear wheel toe-in. Collectively, front wheel alignment and rear wheel alignment are referred to as four-wheel alignment.

What is the function of engine urea?

Automotive urea is used to convert nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust into harmless nitrogen and water, enabling the vehicle to meet the national emission standards. Vehicle urea is a colorless and transparent liquid with a concentration between 31.8% and 33.2%, primarily composed of 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. Urea, in conjunction with the SCR system, filters and removes NOx, the main emission pollutant from diesel engines, as well as particulate matter. Urea is added specifically for diesel-engine vehicles because diesel engines emit harmful nitrogen oxide gases, which cause environmental pollution. Long-term inhalation of these gases can severely harm human health. To mitigate this hazard, diesel-engine vehicles require urea. Urea has a catalytic function; when it encounters nitrogen oxides, it triggers a chemical reaction, converting them into nitrogen and water, which are then expelled. Effects of not using urea in vehicles: Exceeding emission limits, causing environmental pollution; chemical substances in the vehicle system may oxidize, leading to clogging of the urea nozzle and rendering the entire system inoperable; reduction in vehicle power.

Is there a time limit for the first maintenance of a new car?

There is a time limit for the first maintenance of a new car, which is usually 3 months or 6 months. The items checked during the first maintenance include: 1. Changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter, as well as checking whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; 2. Checking whether the levels of various fluids are normal; 3. Checking whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is any uneven wear, bulging, or damage to the tires; 4. Inspecting the car chassis, including whether there are any scratches on the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, or CV joints; 5. Verifying whether all switches and lights in the car are working properly. The precautions for the first maintenance are: 1. Make an appointment in advance; 2. Record any faults or questions encountered while driving and inform the staff during the maintenance registration.

What is a Particulate Filter?

A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. To comply with domestic environmental emission standards, Volkswagen has equipped many of its models with particulate filters. Examples include the Tayron, Tiguan L, and Sagitar. However, depending on the vehicle's power configuration and factory settings, not every car is equipped with a particulate filter. You can check whether a vehicle has a particulate filter using the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "Particulate Filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly states 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates that a particulate filter is installed. Look behind the three-way catalytic converter on the exhaust pipe to see if there is an additional cylindrical section. If present, that is the particulate filter.

The red background of the logo represents passion, while the white font symbolizes elegance and nobility. Key milestones in Bugatti's development are as follows: In 1909, Italian Ettore Bugatti founded Bugatti in France, specializing in sports cars and high-end luxury vehicles. In 1909, a factory was built in Molsheim, Alsace. In 1956, Bugatti ceased production, having manufactured over 7,000 vehicles by then. In 2008, Bugatti officially entered the Chinese market at the Beijing Auto Show. In August 2021, Porsche, Bugatti, and Croatian car brand Rimac announced the formation of a joint venture to create top-tier electric hypercars.

How to Operate Turns in the Driving Test (Subject 3)?

The steps for making a left turn in Subject 3 are as follows: 1. When you hear "Turn left at the intersection ahead," turn on the left turn signal in advance (you must wait for the signal to be on for 3 seconds before turning left). 2. Observe the traffic conditions behind you on the left, and after ensuring safety, change lanes to the leftmost turning lane (usually the innermost lane in the test). 3. After confirming safety, turn on the left turn signal again, then turn widely at low speed through the intersection. 4. If you encounter a red light, when you hear "Left turn encountering a red light," remember to brake to slow down and shift to a lower gear. 5. When about to stop, press the brake and clutch (many people get nervous and only press the brake, causing the engine to stall), smoothly stop the vehicle, and wait for the red light countdown to end. 6. When the red light countdown reaches about 10 seconds, get ready by turning on the turn signal, pressing the clutch to engage 1st gear, keeping the brake pressed, and when the light turns green, release the handbrake, release the brake, lift the clutch, and accelerate to move. After the speed increases, shift to 2nd gear, and if the surrounding traffic conditions are good, you can turn widely and pass quickly. 7. After completing the turn, enter the straight lane, accelerate quickly to shift to 3rd gear, and prepare for the next test item.
