Automotive urea tanks are not toxic. The reason for adding urea to vehicles is to reduce nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust, lower emission pollution, and improve the environmental friendliness of the vehicle. The consequences of not adding urea include: 1. Exceeding emission standards, causing environmental pollution; 2. Chemical substances in the vehicle system may oxidize, leading to clogging of the urea nozzle and rendering the entire system inoperable; 3. Decreased vehicle power. The role of urea is to treat exhaust gases, reduce pollutants in the exhaust, and optimize engine performance and fuel consumption. Reasons for urea warning light activation include: 1. Urea pressure is too low, with high urea consumption; 2. Insufficient power, with urea consumption being too high or too low; 3. Dashboard malfunction. Methods to eliminate urea warning light alerts include: 1. Replacing the urea solution; 2. Replacing the water heating valve; 3. Replacing the urea pump and power supply module plug.

What are the reasons for the black screen of the Beijing BJ40's central control display?

The main reason for the black screen of the Beijing BJ40's central control display is poor contact of the power cable behind the infotainment system, which causes a power interruption. It is necessary to promptly check whether there is any loose connection in the wiring and ensure the loose parts are properly connected or replace the power signal cable. Additionally, excessive electronic components in the vehicle or too much content displayed on the large screen can cause mutual interference between modules, leading to a black screen or system crash. In such cases, it is advisable to delete some unused software or programs and clear the system's memory. After checking the above reasons, if the central control screen remains black, you can try restarting it. Press and hold the power button until the shutdown screen appears, then release the button. If the power button is held for more than 5 seconds but the screen does not light up, or if the power LED (green light) does not light up or immediately turns off, it indicates that the product's battery is out of power. Charge it using the standard adapter before continuing to use it. If repeated restarts are ineffective, it is necessary to visit a 4S store for a system reflash or replacement of the infotainment system assembly.

Can LED car headlights pass the annual inspection?

Whether LED headlights can pass the annual inspection depends on the specifications and performance of the modified headlights. If the color temperature, brightness, and beam angle of the modified headlights, which affect driving safety, meet the national regulations, they can pass the annual inspection. There are two main aspects to check: Whether the brightness meets the requirements, meaning the brightness must not be less than 1400 lumens. Whether the beam angle is up to standard, as long as the high and low beam angles are normal. Essentially, if the modified LED headlights do not affect driving safety, they can pass the annual inspection smoothly. Relevant regulations for car annual inspection: Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not participate in the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or be transferred. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or have exceeded the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their files canceled, and they will be scrapped.

Methods to Test Vehicle Pulling

There are four methods to test if a vehicle is pulling: 1. Ensure all four tires have identical air pressure; 2. On a straight and level road, maintain straight-line driving with the steering wheel centered—if the vehicle does not pull, it is in normal condition; 3. If the vehicle does not pull on a straight road but the steering wheel is not aligned: this is unrelated to wheel alignment and can be fixed by adjusting the length of the steering tie rods; 4. If the vehicle pulls on a straight road and requires steering correction to maintain direction: this indicates a wheel alignment issue.

Can the first maintenance of a Buick car be done at any 4S store?

The first maintenance of a Buick can only be performed for free at manufacturer-authorized brand stores, not all 4S stores. If you do not go to an authorized 4S store, you are essentially giving up the right to free maintenance, and you will not be able to enjoy free maintenance or warranty services at other brand stores. Generally, the first maintenance for a car is due at 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. According to the official maintenance manual, the maintenance cycle is every 10,000 kilometers or 6 months, but the engine oil needs to be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months. This means that the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers only involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, while the 6-month maintenance includes a full inspection of maintenance items. The first maintenance period of a new car is its break-in period. Although the new car has undergone initial break-in after leaving the factory, the surfaces of the parts are still relatively rough and thus require inspection. Additionally, many metal particles are shed between new parts and components. These metal particles not only accelerate wear between parts but also degrade the quality of the engine oil when they mix with it, affecting lubrication efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly replace the engine oil and oil filter.

What is the mnemonic for left and right turn signals?

Left turn signal: when turning left, changing lanes to the left, starting, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn. Right turn signal: when turning right, changing lanes to the right, or pulling over to the side of the road. Related information about turn signals is as follows: 1. When there is a need to turn ahead: If you observe a need to turn while driving, be sure to activate the turn signal about 10 seconds in advance to alert vehicles behind to take timely measures, such as slowing down or stopping, to avoid collisions or even rear-end accidents. However, it's also best not to activate the turn signal too far in advance, as it might cause visual fatigue for drivers behind, potentially leading to 'road rage.' The timing mainly depends on the driver's judgment. 2. Function: As signal lights, turn signals primarily serve to alert surrounding vehicles during daily driving, indicating an upcoming turn or lane change to prompt other vehicles to yield and avoid collisions. Therefore, whether turning, merging, overtaking, starting, or parking, as long as the vehicle needs to steer away from the original lane, the turn signal should be activated in advance. This is a fundamental principle of safe driving. In daily driving, drivers most commonly overlook turn signals in situations like entering a roundabout, merging from a ramp onto the main highway, or in parking lots, where accidents often occur due to neglected turn signals during vehicle turns.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary After Front-to-Rear Tire Rotation?

Wheel balancing is absolutely necessary after front-to-rear tire rotation. A car's wheel is an integrated unit composed of a tire and a rim. However, due to manufacturing limitations, the mass distribution of this unit cannot be perfectly uniform. When the car wheel rotates at high speed, it will form a dynamic imbalance, causing phenomena such as wheel wobbling and steering wheel vibration during driving. Below is relevant information about wheel balancing: 1. Install balance weights (small lead clips with marked weights) corresponding to the displayed values on both sides of the rim simultaneously. For example, if the display shows 10 and 15 for left and right respectively, you should install two balance weights weighing 10 and 15 on the left and right sides respectively, rather than installing only one 5-weight on the right side, as that would not meet the requirements. 2. Tires should undergo regular dynamic balance checks using a balancing machine. Tire balance is divided into two types: dynamic balance and static balance. Dynamic imbalance will cause the wheel to wobble, resulting in wave-like wear on the tire. 3. Static imbalance will cause bumping and bouncing, often leading to flat spots on the tire. Therefore, regular balance checks can not only extend tire life but also improve driving stability and prevent traffic accidents caused by loss of control due to tire wobbling or bouncing at high speeds.
