mph stands for "miles per hour" and is also a unit of speed. You can switch the display settings in the "Unit" option under the multifunction instrument settings. Here is more information about mph: 1. Introduction: Miles per hour (mph) is a unit of speed measurement, indicating miles per hour. It is commonly used in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries for calculating speed limits on roads, tennis serve speeds, etc., and is also used to calculate the central wind speed of tropical cyclones. 2. China's measurement unit: km is currently the measurement unit used in China, while mph is commonly known as "mile". Due to the late start of China's automobile industry, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, most speed and mileage meters used miles per hour as the counting unit.

Oh, I remember that time when the dashboard suddenly switched to mph while driving, which was quite confusing. This situation might be due to accidental changes in system settings or bugs after a software update. To switch it back to km/h, the method is quite simple: start the car but don't drive, press the menu button on the steering wheel (usually the one with an icon on the right side), navigate to the settings option, find the unit settings in the display settings, select kilometers per hour (km/h), and confirm. The whole process takes just a minute or two, and it must be done while parked for safety. If that doesn't work, try restarting the vehicle and re-entering the system. I usually check this setting regularly to avoid confusion with speed limits on highways, ensuring compliance with local traffic laws for safe driving. Fellow drivers often ask about this issue, so I recommend developing a habit to reduce the risk of misoperation.

What Are the Effects of Fuel Injector Failure on a Car?

The effects of fuel injector failure on a car include the following: Causing needle valve and nozzle blockage or sticking: This directly affects the fuel injection volume, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture, and in severe cases, difficulty starting the engine. Causing an overly lean air-fuel mixture: Since carbon deposits absorb fuel vapor, they indirectly reduce the fuel injection volume. The most noticeable effect is a decrease in the car's power, difficulty in raising the engine speed, and even stalling during sudden acceleration. In more severe cases of carbon buildup, starting difficulties and stalling at idle may occur. Causing an overly rich air-fuel mixture: Once carbon deposits become saturated, they may lead to fuel dripping, resulting in an overly rich air-fuel mixture. This incomplete combustion can cause black smoke from the exhaust, popping sounds from the tailpipe, and inevitably increased fuel consumption. In more severe cases, it may lead to cylinder flooding, causing engine knocking or failure to start.

What Does the First Car Maintenance Include?

New car first maintenance mainly involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, followed by some free inspection items, such as: tire pressure check, light check, and chassis check. Additional information: 1. Car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, supplying, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. 2. Contents of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the maintenance of the engine system (engine), transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

Can engine oils of the same grade but different brands be mixed?

Engine oils of the same grade but different brands cannot be mixed. The following is an explanation about engine oil: 1. Introduction: Engine oil, motor oil, or engine lubricant is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil. 2. Functions: The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, and to remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine. It also neutralizes acids produced from fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improves the sealing of piston rings, and cools the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts. 3. Composition: It mainly contains anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines.

What Causes Car Shaking at Speeds Between 80 to 100 km/h?

The reasons for car shaking at speeds between 80 to 100 km/h are: 1. Unbalanced wheels: Poor wheel balance, abnormal tire wear, or damaged components; 2. Loose suspension: Loose suspension or incorrect wheel alignment, requiring inspection of engine rubber mounts, shock absorbers, and suspension bushings for damage; 3. Warped brake rotors: If shaking occurs during braking, it may be due to uneven brake rotor surfaces, which can be resolved by resurfacing the rotors. Solutions for car shaking: 1. Check the motor: Clean the fuel system and inspect the idle motor for carbon buildup, which should be cleaned if necessary; 2. Inspect spark plugs: Check the condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils, and replace spark plugs if excessive carbon buildup is found.

Should the Spare Tire Be Installed on the Front or Rear Wheel?

Spare tires can be installed on either the front or rear wheels. Definition of a Spare Tire: A spare tire refers to the backup tire for a car, typically matching the specifications of the original tires. However, some vehicles may use spare tires with special-colored rims, compact spares, foldable spares, or run-flat tires to remind the owner to inspect and replace faulty tires promptly. Types of Spare Tires: Regularly inspect the spare tire, focusing on tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire before the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. Avoid storing oil products near the spare tire, as rubber—the main component of tires—is highly susceptible to damage from oil exposure. Many car owners store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk, which can cause tire swelling and significantly reduce the tire's lifespan if they come into contact with the tire. Spare tires typically last about four years. It’s common for owners to discover that their spare tire has severely aged and become unusable after years of storage when they need it for a flat tire. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage leads to aging, with a general aging period of around four years. Avoid prolonged use of the spare tire, as it can negatively impact the vehicle's braking system, steering system, and suspension, posing safety risks and causing uneven wear on other tires in the same direction.

Can I make a U-turn at a dashed line when the left-turn arrow is red?

If the dashed line is set before the stop line at the intersection and there are no other signs prohibiting U-turns, you can directly make a U-turn at the dashed line without being controlled by the traffic signal, provided it does not affect other vehicles. Other situations where U-turns are prohibited are as follows: U-turns are prohibited at crosswalks: U-turns are not allowed at crosswalks. If the intersection permits U-turns, you must cross the crosswalk before making a U-turn; you cannot make a U-turn on the crosswalk. U-turns are prohibited when there is no left-turn lane: Even if you are in the leftmost lane, U-turns are not allowed if there is no sign permitting left turns. U-turns are prohibited in the second left-turn lane: When a vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, it cannot make a U-turn. In the absence of any directional signs, vehicles can only make U-turns in the innermost left-turn lane. U-turns are prohibited at solid yellow lines: U-turns are not allowed at solid yellow lines. Even if there is a sign permitting U-turns, you must wait for the green light and cross the stop line before making a U-turn. U-turns are prohibited on highways: Crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway is illegal and will result in a fine and 12 penalty points. If you miss an exit on the highway, continue to the next exit and leave the highway; never attempt an illegal U-turn.
