Method to turn on the heater in an electric vehicle: Electric vehicles have an air conditioning switch. Simply turn off the AC button and adjust the heater temperature. Turning on the AC button while using the heater not only fails to produce a heating effect but also increases the vehicle's power consumption. The AC button controls the air conditioning, so there's no need to turn it on when using the heater. Tips for using the heater in an electric vehicle: 1. Use the external circulation or open the windows slightly when ventilation is needed; 2. Drive at an economical speed to ensure the motor operates within the high-efficiency range; 3. Avoid parking outdoors to reduce the use of the heater and save power. The vehicle's heating system can warm the air inside the cabin or the air drawn from outside, thereby increasing the interior temperature.

Is It Normal for a Car to Be 2cm Lower on the Left Side Than the Right?

A car being 2cm lower on the left side than the right is not normal. Reasons for a car being lower on the left side than the right: If the difference between the left and right sides of the car is not significant, it may be due to uneven tire pressure or uneven weight distribution on the left and right sides of the vehicle. If the difference is more severe, it could be caused by issues with suspension components such as shock absorbers. Solutions for a car being lower on the left side than the right: 1. Uneven balance caused by aging shock absorbers. In this case, it is best to replace the shock absorbers entirely. If the shock absorbers are relatively new, you can try replacing the shock absorber oil seals to prevent oil leakage. 2. Uneven balance caused by incorrect tire pressure. This is the easiest issue to resolve. Simply check the air pressure in all four tires and add air to the underinflated tires to restore normal balance. 3. Level difference caused by a warped wheel rim. Wheel rims can deform when subjected to significant impact, which can affect the vehicle's balance. In this case, simply repairing the warped rim or replacing it will solve the problem.

What is the fault code for the parking diesel heater?

Diesel heater parking heater fault code is e08. Introduction to diesel heaters: The parking heater, commonly known as a car diesel heater or car diesel stove, is suitable for preheating diesel engines in cold regions. It effectively solves problems such as engine failure to start or difficulty starting due to cold weather, thereby protecting the engine. It can also be used for heating during long traffic jams or parking in winter without starting the vehicle, simply by turning on this heater, which reduces fuel costs. Working principle: The main motor of the heater drives the plunger oil pump, combustion air fan, and atomizer to rotate. The oil pump delivers the inhaled fuel to the atomizer through the fuel pipeline. The atomizer atomizes the fuel through centrifugal force and mixes it with the air inhaled by the combustion air fan in the main combustion chamber. The mixture is ignited by the glowing electric heater plug, fully combusted in the rear combustion chamber, and then redirected. The heat is transferred to the medium in the water jacket interlayer—coolant—through the inner wall of the water jacket and the heat dissipation fins on it. The heated medium circulates throughout the pipeline system under the action of the circulating water pump (or thermal convection) to achieve the heating purpose. The exhaust gas from the heater combustion is discharged through the exhaust pipe.

What are the impacts if a car passes through deep water without stalling?

Theoretically, as long as water does not submerge the air intake, the engine will not be affected. However, there are too many unpredictable factors, such as waves created by passing vehicles that could splash into the air intake, or unknown underwater conditions like potholes, which may affect the vehicle's passability. If a car drives through deep water without stalling, it indicates that the air intake was not flooded. Below are precautions for driving in rainy conditions: 1. Reduce speed: Regardless of road width or condition, drive slowly in the rain, always observing the distance to vehicles ahead and behind, and be prepared to take emergency measures. Visibility is poor in the rain, and the vehicle's braking distance and emergency performance are reduced, so slow down in advance to allow enough time and space to handle situations safely. 2. Maintain distance: Poor visibility in the rain necessitates keeping a safe distance from other vehicles, especially large trucks, which can block your view and create waves that smaller vehicles may not handle well. 3. Use fog lights: Utilize fog lights to enhance safety in rainy conditions, and turn on hazard warning lights if necessary to alert following vehicles to your presence. 4. Do not restart after stalling: In heavy rain or storms, some areas may flood quickly. If you must drive through water, do so at a steady speed in a low gear. If the vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it immediately, as this could severely damage the engine. Instead, contact a professional repair service to inspect the vehicle before restarting.

How much fuel can a 65-liter fuel tank hold at most?

65-liter fuel tank can hold up to 69 liters of fuel. Nominal capacity is not equal to maximum capacity: Relevant national standards specifically stipulate that the nominal capacity of a car's fuel tank must not exceed 95% of its actual capacity, meaning it can be labeled smaller but not larger. Therefore, the actual capacity of the fuel tank is generally greater than the nominal capacity. Moreover, this "standard capacity" also refers to the safe capacity of the fuel tank. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, it has an "expansion coefficient." Therefore, during daily driving, you should not fill the tank too full, leaving some space for gasoline to "expand." There should be a certain space from the fuel safety line to the tank opening to prevent the gasoline in the tank from expanding when the temperature rises, overflowing the tank, and ensuring driving safety. Amount of fuel to add: When refueling, it is usually sufficient to stop at the first click of the fuel gun, which indicates that the maximum rated capacity has been reached. Adding more fuel after the first click carries certain risks. Exceeding the rated capacity may lead to fuel leakage, clogged vent holes, damage to the carbon canister, and other issues. Therefore, it is essential to refuel reasonably according to the rated capacity and avoid overfilling for convenience, which could create safety hazards.

How long does it take for a vehicle to no longer appear under the original owner's name after transfer?

Generally, after the vehicle transfer procedures are completed, the original owner will no longer be able to view the vehicle information in the system on the same day, while the new owner can check the vehicle details within three days. Of course, if there is an internal system network upgrade, the exact timing becomes uncertain. Required documents for vehicle transfer: I. For the seller: 1. Original and photocopy of the owner's ID card/agent's ID card; 2. Original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate (the big green book); 3. Original and photocopy of the vehicle license; 4. Original and photocopy of the purchase invoice (red copy) or previous transfer invoice (red copy); 5. Proof of completed vehicle purchase tax payment; 6. If the seller is an organization, the original and photocopy of the organization code certificate (with official seal) are required. II. For the buyer: 1. Original and photocopy of the owner's ID card/agent's ID card; 2. Vehicle registration, transfer, and cancellation form/transfer application form (available at the used car trading hall); 3. In cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the original and photocopy of the vehicle purchase quota lottery result are also required; 4. For non-local residents, the original temporary residence permit is needed; 5. If the buyer is an organization, the original and photocopy of the organization code certificate (with official seal) are also required.

Under what circumstances is overtaking not allowed?

Overtaking is not allowed under the following circumstances: 1. When the vehicle ahead is making a left turn, performing a U-turn, or overtaking another vehicle; 2. When there is a possibility of encountering oncoming traffic; 3. When the vehicle ahead is an emergency vehicle such as a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing urgent duties; 4. When driving through sections with heavy traffic flow where overtaking conditions are not met. The regulations that must be followed when overtaking with a motor vehicle are: 1. Activate the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams or sound the horn. On roads without a central dividing line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, when the vehicle ahead receives an overtaking signal from the vehicle behind, it should reduce speed and move to the right to give way if conditions permit; 2. Overtaking is prohibited when there is a possibility of encountering oncoming traffic, or when the vehicle ahead is making a left turn, performing a U-turn, or overtaking, or when the vehicle ahead is an emergency vehicle such as a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle, or when driving through sections without overtaking conditions such as railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or urban areas with heavy traffic flow; 3. Overtaking is not allowed on highway ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes.
