Replacing car air conditioning refrigerant involves the following steps: 1. Install a manifold gauge set to perform vacuum extraction; 2. Install the refrigerant canister; 3. Charge refrigerant from the high-pressure side, then close the valve after charging; 4. Use an electronic leak detector to check for system leaks; 5. Open the manifold gauge set to charge refrigerant from the low-pressure side; 6. Close the valves on both high and low-pressure sides when replacing the charging canister; 7. After replacement, open the purge valve to release air from the middle hose and manifold gauge set; 8. Check the refrigerant charge amount based on the pressure displayed on the manifold gauge set; 9. Once the refrigerant charge meets requirements, close the low-pressure side valve and turn off the engine.

What are the causes of slight steering wheel deviation?

The causes of slight steering wheel deviation are: 1. Deformation of the front shock absorber springs, resulting in inconsistent buffering on both sides; 2. Failure of the front shock absorber; 3. Inconsistent tire pressure; 4. Poor return of the wheel brake, incomplete separation; 5. Suspension system failure; 6. Excessive difference in wheelbase on both sides; 7. Excessive wear of vehicle chassis components leading to abnormal gaps; 8. Different tread patterns on both sides. Solutions for slight steering wheel deviation: 1. Replace the shock absorber springs; 2. Check if the shock absorber is damaged; 3. Ensure tire pressure is consistent; 4. Check if the wheelbase difference is too large; 5. Inspect the wear condition of the chassis.

What are the reasons for a car stalling after starting?

The reasons for a car stalling after starting are: 1. Triggering the car's anti-theft system, causing the engine to lock; 2. Faulty ignition switch; 3. Damaged ignition module or damaged ignition reference signal line from the ignition module to the engine computer; 4. Low fuel pump pressure, fuel line leakage, insufficient power supply current, or damaged fuel pressure regulator; 5. Carbon deposits in the engine. Solutions for a car stalling after starting: 1. Check if the car's anti-theft system is triggered; 2. Inspect the working condition of the ignition switch; 3. Check if the ignition module and signal line are faulty; 4. Examine the fuel lines for leaks; 5. Clean carbon deposits from the engine; 6. Check if the battery has sufficient charge.

What is the tire model of the Elysion?

The tire model specification for the Elysion is a non-full-size 225/50R18. Among the five Elysion models—2.0Le:HEV Supreme Edition, Luxury Edition, Luxury First Edition, Comfort Edition, and Classic Edition—all use this tire. The tire model 225/50R18: The first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 18 represents the rim diameter of 18 inches. The middle letters or symbols have special meanings: "X" denotes high-pressure tires; "R" and "Z" denote radial tires; "—" denotes low-pressure tires. Besides the model, the tire also carries the following common data: Tire carcass ply material: Represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton ply, R-rayon ply, N-nylon ply, G-steel ply, ZG-steel radial ply tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, e.g., standard rim 5.00F. For the Elysion's tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread wears out, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can be hidden dangers for tire bursts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials related to rubber deterioration. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water for cooling. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the pressure increases. In such cases, park to dissipate heat, strictly avoid deflating to reduce pressure or splashing water for cooling, to prevent abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and sudden stops to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tire and the ground.

Can vehicles play FLAC format files?

It depends on the specific car model. Some car models can play FLAC format files, while others cannot. The key factor is whether the player installed in the car supports the FLAC format. If the FLAC format is not supported, you can convert it to MP3 or WAV format for playback. Here is a detailed introduction on how to download and play in-car music: Using storage devices: Download music onto storage devices such as USB drives or SD cards, then insert them into the corresponding interface in the car for playback. Bluetooth transmission: Use Bluetooth to connect your phone to the car's Bluetooth system, allowing you to download and play music in real-time. Data cable connection: Connect via a data cable, which usually requires downloading CarPlay software on the car's computer to transfer data through the software. Phone transmission: Some car computers come with built-in storage space, allowing you to download music on your phone and transfer it to the car's system.

What to Do When the Rearview Camera Screen Goes Black?

Check if the car's original fuse has blown. If the fuse is blown, simply replace it. Inspect whether the navigation buttons are stuck, as stuck buttons can also prevent the system from turning on. If you're skilled with hands-on tasks, you can remove the navigation unit to check if the tail fuse of the navigation system is blown. If it is, replace it. A black screen on the rearview camera is often due to poor line connections. It's necessary to promptly inspect the wiring and the connection points installed in the vehicle to see if there are any loose connections. If there are loose connections, it can naturally lead to intermittent functionality of the rearview camera or even a complete black screen. In such cases, simply securing the loose connections properly should resolve the issue. Of course, it could also be due to aging of the video power cable. Trying a new power cable might solve the black screen issue, indicating that the problem indeed lies with the video power cable. If, after checking the above two scenarios, the rearview camera still shows a black screen, it's likely due to prolonged use of the rearview camera, resulting in poor chip photosensitivity. This not only causes snowy images but, in severe cases, leads to the black screen issue we're discussing today. Additionally, it might be due to inherent defects in the car's circuit design. However, issues like chip abnormalities and design defects are beyond our capability to fix and require inspection, repair, or replacement at a professional repair shop. In fact, various malfunctions in the rearview camera are largely related to its installation process, as this involves dealing with relatively complex wiring. Therefore, if we really need to replace the rearview camera, it's best to leave it to professionals. Otherwise, unprofessional or incorrect installation (of the wiring) could not only cause malfunctions like the black screen issue we're discussing today but also pose potential safety hazards. Of course, if you're already very familiar with this process, doing it yourself is also an option.
