First, turn off the engine and rotate the key without pulling it out. Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left, insert a tool into the round hole on the steering wheel, and pry upwards to release one side of the airbag. Next, remove the left and right cover panels of the base model and the U-shaped silver decorative strip. To install the functional wiring harness for the multifunction steering wheel, you need to completely remove the original wiring harness and replace it with a new one. Pull out the horn connector on the right side and then disconnect the interface.

What is the function of a car's carbon canister?

The functions of a car's carbon canister are as follows: 1. Fuel saving: The carbon canister is filled with highly adsorbent activated carbon. Excess fuel vapor from the fuel tank is no longer released into the atmosphere but is instead directed into the activated carbon canister through a pipe, where the activated carbon adsorbs the fuel vapor. When the car is in motion, the carbon canister solenoid valve opens at the appropriate time to reintroduce the absorbed fuel vapor into the intake manifold, thereby saving fuel. 2. Reducing pollutant emissions: When the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold opens. The gasoline vapor inside the activated carbon canister is drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe along with clean air to participate in combustion. This process helps reduce emissions.

What does 3-zone mean for car air conditioning?

3-zone refers to the three-zone control mode of the air conditioning system. When the switch light is on, it indicates that the rear air conditioning is controlled by the rear control panel. When the switch light is off, it means all air conditioning is uniformly controlled. Below is an introduction to 3-zone: 1. Working principle: The 3-zone climate control system works by adding additional air flaps to divide the air ducts more finely. After passing through the mixing flaps, air is directed to different ducts, with the mixing flaps controlled by multiple independent controllers. 2. Notes: A car may have rear air vents but not necessarily rear temperature zone control. Temperature zone control is based on automatic air conditioning systems. Some models may be equipped with automatic air conditioning but cannot achieve independent rear air conditioning control.

What does the set button in the car mean

The set button in the car has two meanings: one is used when decelerating after setting the cruise control, and the other is to press set to set the current speed as the cruise speed after temporarily canceling the cruise control. The button corresponding to set is RES. The following are the conditions for using cruise control: 1. Use on highways and fully enclosed roads: On these roads, using cruise control will be more convenient and can make driving easier. If cruise control is used on some congested roads, repeated braking cannot maintain a stable cruise control state, losing the meaning of cruise control. 2. Do not use cruise control on rainy or snowy days: Due to the slippery road conditions on rainy or snowy days, using cruise control rashly may cause side-slip phenomena, and driving safety cannot be guaranteed. 3. Mountainous roads or curves: Cruise control is prohibited in rugged areas. If cruise control is used on curves, driving safety cannot be guaranteed. In cruise control mode, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, and the throttle is controlled by the driving computer, which often brings danger to curve driving. The driver needs to control the car flexibly.

What is the correct way to use the DS gear?

The correct way to use the DS gear is to simply push the gear lever into the DS position when needed. Situations for using the DS gear include: 1. For long continuous downhill roads or steep uphill climbs; 2. When driving on mountain roads; 3. When quickly overtaking. The DS gear or S gear is the car's sport mode. In sport mode, the engine can maintain high RPMs for an extended period, allowing the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for a longer time, achieving greater acceleration. When the gear shift is moved into the DS gear, the transmission automatically shifts up and down within the engine's RPM range, with the shift points determined by engine load, the driver's driving style, and vehicle speed.
