Engine malfunction light being on is mainly caused by poor combustion state, which should be improved. Below are extended information about the instrument panel: 1. Instrument panels vary among different vehicles: However, conventional instruments in general vehicles include speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, charging gauge, etc. In modern vehicles, the instrument panel also requires a voltage regulator, specifically designed to stabilize the voltage of the instrument power supply, suppressing fluctuations to ensure the accuracy of vehicle instruments. 2. Most instrument displays are based on sensors: The sensing device changes its resistance value according to the state changes of the monitored object, which is then expressed through the instruments. The most prominent in the instrument panel is the speedometer, indicating the vehicle's speed in km/h (kilometers per hour). The speedometer actually consists of two meters, one being the speed indicator and the other the odometer. 3. Traditional speedometers are mechanical: A typical mechanical odometer is connected to a flexible shaft, inside which there is a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn drives a magnet inside the odometer's cover ring to rotate. The cover ring is connected to the pointer and, through a hairspring, positions the pointer at zero. The speed of the magnet's rotation causes changes in the size of the magnetic lines, disrupting the balance and thus moving the pointer.

What Happened to BYD?

BYD experienced a fire incident. Below is an extended guide on power retention techniques for the BYD Tang DM: High Speed: If the vehicle speed exceeds 140 km/h, the engine load is high, so it generally does not charge the battery. Therefore, setting a higher value is ineffective, and the battery level might even drop in Hybrid Eco mode. Uphill: For example, when entering Tibet, as the altitude continuously rises, the engine load also becomes significant, leaving no extra power for charging. In this case, the battery level won't increase. There are methods to retain power, but note that on roads with alternating uphill and downhill sections (like one hill after another), power retention is unnecessary as the battery will recharge during downhill driving. If the battery level is too low, you can use Sand Mode to increase engine RPM and reduce vehicle speed, keeping the engine around 2000 RPM. Traffic Jams: In urban traffic jams, using Hybrid Eco mode is ineffective. With the air conditioning on in summer, the battery level will drop rapidly. To retain power, switch to Hybrid Snow Mode, where the engine charges the battery while idling. Alternatively, use Sand Mode and drive at low speeds around 2200 RPM. This will result in higher short-term fuel consumption and a poorer driving experience, but it recharges the battery very quickly.

What is the maintenance interval for the Touareg?

Volkswagen Touareg's first maintenance is due within 12 months or 5,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details: Touareg maintenance interval: The first maintenance for Volkswagen Touareg should be performed within 5,000 kilometers, with regular maintenance intervals set at every 10,000 kilometers or twelve months. As the maintenance period approaches, the dashboard will display a corresponding maintenance reminder. Touareg maintenance content: Resetting the maintenance reminder for the Volkswagen Touareg is not complicated. In the infotainment system, press CAR, Settings, Maintenance, Reset Maintenance Information, and then Confirm. At Volkswagen 4S dealerships, it is generally recommended to perform a minor maintenance (oil and oil filter change) every 5,000 kilometers and a regular maintenance every 10,000 kilometers.

How to Replace the Coolant in a Qashqai?

The method for replacing the coolant in a Qashqai is as follows: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap, open the radiator drain valve located at the bottom of the car, and drain the coolant; 2. Clean the cooling system; 3. Stop adding clean water, wait for the water to completely drain, then close the drain valve; 4. Add new coolant until the liquid level is between the MAX and MIN marks. Coolant is designed to prevent the freezing of the cooling liquid during cold winter parking, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or the engine cylinder block to freeze. Its full name is antifreeze coolant. The Qashqai is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4401mm in length, 1837mm in width, and 1593mm in height, a wheelbase of 2646mm, a body type of a 5-door, 5-seat SUV, and a CVT transmission (simulating 7 gears).

Do Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Need to Be Charged?

Plug-in hybrid vehicles do require charging. The batteries in plug-in hybrids are relatively large and can be charged externally. They can operate in pure electric mode until the battery is depleted, after which they switch to hybrid mode (primarily powered by an internal combustion engine) while also recharging the battery as needed. Examples of plug-in hybrid vehicle brands include: Toyota Prius, BYD Tang DM, Corolla Hybrid, WEY P8, and Camry Hybrid. Taking the Toyota Prius as an example: The Toyota Prius has a length of 4450mm, width of 1725mm, height of 1510mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, features four-wheel disc brakes, front-wheel drive, and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters.

Which Button is the Rearview Mirror Heater on the Binrui?

The rearview mirror heating button on the Binrui is located in the central control area. It is the fifth button from the left in a row of buttons, with an icon of a rectangle containing three upward wavy lines. This button controls the rearview mirror heating and also the rear windshield heating. The rearview mirror heating function is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually and thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has an adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After rotating the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass will rapidly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat will radiate from both left and right rearview mirrors. At the same time, due to the temperature increase and evaporation, water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually shrink, and fog will slowly disappear, effectively defogging and defrosting the mirror. However, if the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume a significant amount of power. When using this function, ensure the car is in an ignited state. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating while the car is stationary to prevent draining the battery and potentially leaving insufficient power to start the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to create airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually dissipating the fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow warm air for defogging.
