If your smart key malfunctions, first try using the spare key. If the spare key works normally, it indicates that the other key is faulty and can be reprogrammed at a 4S shop. There are many reasons for remote key failure, with specific faults as follows: Dead Battery: One possibility is a dead battery or poor battery contact. Module Failure: If the timing control module in the remote key fails, it can also render the remote inoperative. Aging Antenna: The third scenario involves aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna, which can also cause this issue. In such cases, you can visit a repair station for inspection and repair.

Can You Drive on a Flat Tire to Get It Repaired?

If your tire is flat, you can replace it with a spare tire and drive to a repair shop. If the tire is only slightly deflated, you may drive at a low speed to the nearest repair shop for a patch. However, this is not recommended as it may cause the tire to be completely ruined, which would be counterproductive. It is advised to stop driving immediately if your tire is flat. Introduction 1: Automobile tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and work together with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation. They also maintain excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability while bearing the vehicle's weight. The critical role of tires in automobiles has gained increasing attention. Introduction 2: Tires can be categorized into approximately 8 types based on vehicle classification: PC (Passenger Car tires), LT (Light Truck tires), TB (Truck and Bus tires), AG (Agricultural Vehicle tires), OTR (Off-The-Road tires for construction vehicles), ID (Industrial Vehicle tires), AC (Aircraft tires), and MC (Motorcycle tires).

Under what circumstances should the car ECO mode be used?

The car ECO mode is turned on and used in urban congested road conditions, and the fuel-saving effect is good after turning on the ECO mode. Under the operation of the ECO mode, the carbon deposits in the engine are basically the same as those produced by the engine in the normal working mode. The main principle of the ECO mode is not complicated. It mainly involves a comprehensive judgment and analysis of factors that affect fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the appropriate amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to the normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gears to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, and the Chinese translations are Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is also divided into active eco-driving mode and non-active eco-driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard lights up, it means the car's economic mode has been activated. The eco mode is divided into active and non-active types. The difference is that the active type has its own button, and the owner can choose whether to turn it on. When the owner presses the eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light will light up, and the vehicle will automatically start adjusting settings, such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard eco indicator light is on, it is only a reminder function. The eco mode will automatically evaluate your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the eco indicator light. Most cars use the active eco-driving mode, which means they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can turn on the eco mode. However, it is not necessary to turn on the eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 mph, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing a hill, as this would not reflect the economic and fuel-saving characteristics of the eco mode. In addition, the eco mode usually fails under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car will consider the speed, and the eco mode will automatically fail. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the eco mode may also fail. When a large torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the eco mode will not work either.

What is a tire pressure gauge?

A pressure gauge is an instrument used to measure air pressure, among which a tire pressure gauge is specifically designed for measuring the air pressure in tires. It consists of a gauge head, piston, main spring, etc. The gauge head has only one pressure measurement port, featuring a simple structure, small range, high accuracy, and ease of use. It is suitable for measuring tire pressure in small vehicles such as micro cars and motorcycles. Place on level ground: The vehicle should be parked on level ground, and tire pressure must be measured when the tires are cold. Remove the valve cap: Remove the tire's valve cap and press the measuring nozzle of the tire pressure gauge vertically onto the tire's valve stem. The pressing speed should be quick to prevent air leakage from the tire. Check requirements: Compare the measured tire pressure with the recommended pressure listed on the vehicle's door panel and consider the driver's experience to determine if the tire pressure meets the requirements. If the tire pressure is too high, the gauge can be used to release air. If the tire pressure is too low, immediately use an onboard air pump to inflate the tire to the safe pressure level and re-measure to verify the accurate pressure. Inspection cycle: Check the tire pressure at least once a month. Before becoming proficient in measuring tire pressure, take multiple measurements to ensure the readings are accurate.

Where is the motor number in front of the engine number?

The location of the car engine number is: Engine cylinder block: The engine model is printed on the engine cylinder block, on both sides at the rear of the cylinder block. Sometimes the location is not visually visible, and a lift is required to see it. Vehicle license: The vehicle license also indicates the engine model, which includes the engine number, and can be viewed there. Rubbing the engine number: To rub the engine number, first place a white paper over the engine number and frame number, then gently rub horizontally with a pencil to obtain the required number imprint. Cut it out and paste it onto the registration form with glue.

Can the duplicate page of the vehicle license be reissued separately?

Bring your ID card and a copy, drive the vehicle directly to the vehicle management office for reissuance. The specific process is as follows: inquire at the front desk to get a number; take your ID card to the registration point to get a form; submit the form, take photos, and get the form at the vehicle inspection area; pay the fee at the payment window; wait at the collection window with your ID card to receive the new vehicle license. Introduction 1: To reissue the vehicle license, you must also submit a standard photo of the vehicle. You can prepare it in advance. The vehicle image should occupy two-thirds of the photo, clearly showing the body color and appearance features, taken from a 45-degree angle on the left front side of the vehicle. Introduction 2: According to Article 25, Paragraph 1 of China's "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations": If the vehicle license is not carried (or the license is incomplete, missing the duplicate page), the vehicle can be legally detained. Introduction 3: The original and duplicate pages of the vehicle license are indispensable components. The original page records the basic information of the vehicle, while the duplicate page records the inspection status of the vehicle. Even if only the duplicate page is lost, it must be reissued.
