It is necessary to warm up the car before an exhaust emission test. Methods of exhaust emission monitoring: There are four methods for monitoring vehicle exhaust emissions: single idle speed method, double idle speed method, steady-state operating condition testing method, and simple transient operating condition method. The single idle speed method has been phased out due to its simplicity and higher detection data limits. The simple transient operating condition method is more scientific than the double idle speed method and the steady-state operating condition testing method, providing more accurate detection data. It is currently the most advanced vehicle exhaust emission detection technology in the world. Automotive environmental exhaust emission standards: The limit for carbon monoxide is 6.3g/km, and the total limit for hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides is 2.0g/km. Vehicle exhaust emission testing is based on whether the smoke opacity value meets the standard, and whether the emissions meet the standard is mainly determined by the vehicle testing data. The smoke opacity value is used to confirm whether the vehicle meets the standard.

How to Drive in a Roundabout?

A roundabout generally has four exits, and vehicles must travel in a counterclockwise direction. Select the desired exit location and direction, and when approaching the exit, turn on the appropriate signal light before slowly exiting the roundabout. Below are the relevant regulations: 1. Vehicles in the inner lane of the roundabout before exiting: Should merge into the outer lane in advance. If a vehicle in the inner lane exits directly and collides with a vehicle in the outer lane, it is considered continuous lane changing and bears full responsibility. 2. When entering the roundabout: It is not necessary to turn on the turn signal. Observe the traffic flow, confirm safety, and merge into the roundabout. Before exiting the roundabout, turn on the right turn signal in advance, then exit the roundabout and enter the straight lane.

In Summer, Should You Use Internal or External Air Circulation When Fogging Occurs?

In summer, when fogging occurs, you should turn on the external air circulation. There are two methods to defog a car: 1. Roll down the windows: Allow air convection by partially rolling down the windows to let the cold outside air blow into the car, achieving convection between hot and cold air. This reduces the temperature difference inside and outside the car, helping to eliminate frost and fog. If the weather is extremely cold, you can intermittently open and close the windows; 2. Use the air conditioning defogging system: Adjust the "air outlet mode" to "defogging." This mode mainly controls warm air to ventilate towards the windshield and the front windows near the rearview mirrors for both the driver and passenger seats.

How often should the engine pulley of a car be replaced?

The engine pulley of a car should be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Since the pulley and the belt work together, they should be replaced simultaneously. Installing a car engine pulley is a highly complex task, so it is recommended not to attempt it yourself; instead, have it installed by professional 4S shop personnel. The belt and pulley are crucial components of the engine's valve timing system, ensuring the accuracy of intake and exhaust timing through their connection to the crankshaft with a specific transmission ratio. Pulleys fall under the category of hub-like parts, generally relatively large in size, and are typically manufactured through casting or forging processes, with cast steel rarely used. Smaller-sized pulleys can be designed as forged components, usually made of steel.

How to Repair Car Wheel Hubs?

Here are the methods for repairing car wheel hubs: 1. Scratches on the wheel hub edge: In this case, professional welding technology can perfectly repair and refurbish the hub. 2. Damage to the wheel hub edge: If the car's wheel hub is accidentally hit by a hard object, it may cause the edge to break. In such a situation, the car tire must be replaced, but the wheel hub can still be perfectly repaired and refurbished through welding and reshaping. 3. Gaps on the wheel hub edge: When a hard wheel hub is violently struck by stones or other hard objects, it may cause gaps on the edge. Depending on the shape of the gap, it can be perfectly repaired through buildup welding, airtightness testing, and surface treatment. 4. Wheel hub fracture: For fractured parts of the car wheel hub, even small cracks should never be ignored as they pose serious safety hazards. The hub can be refurbished through procedures like crack welding, polishing, and painting.

What is the function of the front windshield film?

The functions of front windshield film include: 1. Sun protection and UV protection: The front windshield has a large heat-receiving area and is exposed to more ultraviolet radiation. The film can effectively block UV rays, ensuring the health of the driver and passengers; 2. Heat insulation: The film can block a portion of the heat; 3. Anti-glare: During the day, the bright sunlight can cause glare, and at night, the strong lights from oncoming vehicles can also produce dazzling glare, especially when driving on rainy nights when the lights are more chaotic. The front windshield film can effectively reduce this glaring light; 4. Anti-explosion function: Since the front windshield is made of tempered safety glass, if the glass shatters, the installed front film prevents the fragments from flying, thereby protecting the safety of the driver.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Roewe RX3?

The fuel tank capacity of the Roewe RX3 is 48 liters, which is the safe capacity marked in the user manual. The safe capacity refers to the volume from the bottom of the fuel tank to the safety limit line. In fact, there is still a certain distance from the safety limit line to the fuel tank opening. The manufacturer has set a safety limit line for car owners, suggesting not to exceed the marked capacity when refueling. The Roewe RX3 is a model under SAIC Roewe, with body dimensions of 4408mm in length, 1804mm in width, and 1651mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2625mm. In terms of exterior design, the Roewe RX3 continues the family-style design elements of Roewe, with an overall style very similar to the Roewe RX5 model. It features an inverted trapezoidal chrome grille paired with eagle-eye-style front headlights, and the taillights use LED light sources.
