No. The illumination of the vehicle's malfunction indicator light is not related to the emission standard. In fact, the online rumor that China VI engines are prone to triggering the MIL is unfounded. There is currently no evidence suggesting that China VI engines have a higher probability of malfunctions compared to engines meeting other emission standards. Reasons for the Malfunction Indicator Light: When the MIL illuminates, it indicates a fault within the vehicle. This fault is not necessarily caused by the engine; it could also stem from issues with the transmission, coolant temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, or other components. The specific problem can only be diagnosed by reading the fault codes with specialized diagnostic equipment. China VI Engines: Not all China VI engines frequently trigger the MIL. Many models equipped with China VI engines demonstrate excellent reliability. In fact, numerous China VI engines are based on their China V counterparts, with the addition of a particulate filter to reduce exhaust emissions.

How to Use Turn Signals for Parallel Parking?

Maintain a 30 cm distance between the right side of the vehicle and the parking space line or pole, then drive straight forward and stop after passing the parking space. When reversing, first reverse straight until the rear tire reaches the left front pole of the parking space. When the left quarter of the rear of the vehicle aligns with the right pole at the bottom of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Once the rear of the vehicle is parallel to the two poles at the bottom of the parking space, you can also look back to check.

What are the maintenance items for heavy-duty trucks?

Maintenance items for heavy-duty trucks are as follows: 1. Oil and filter replacement: Change the engine oil along with three filters - oil filter, air filter, and diesel filter; 2. Wheel hub maintenance: Due to their heavy load capacity, large trucks use tapered bearings which require high-grade grease; 3. Transmission oil change: The transmissions of heavy-duty trucks experience significant wear from overloaded operations, requiring regular gear oil changes to minimize wear. The rear axle differential operates similarly to the transmission - typically requiring one gear oil change for every two engine oil changes.
