Should You Use Low Beam or High Beam on the Highway?

On the highway, you should use high beam. The streetlights on highways are not very dense, and visibility is poor. The illumination range of low beam is only about 30 meters, which can easily lead to accidents. In contrast, high beam has a longer illumination range of about 100 meters, providing sufficient distance to handle sudden situations. When the distance to the vehicle ahead is within 100 meters, you should switch to low beam. The control for high and low beams is on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. The middle position is for low beam, while the first and third positions are for high beam. High beam should only be used when there are no streetlights and visibility is poor. In most cases, low beam is sufficient, such as on well-lit roads, when two vehicles meet, or when road conditions are good with clear visibility.

How to measure the ignition coil of Tiggo 3?

Tiggo 3 ignition coil measurement method is: 1. The primary side of the ignition coil has one end connected to the 12V positive pole, and the other end, which is the cold end, is connected to the ignition final stage power amplifier; 2. When starting the engine, the primary cold end has a jump from 12V to 0V; 3. Use the voltage range of a pointer multimeter to test and observe the needle swing; 4. The secondary side generates high voltage, and if connected to a spark plug, it will spark. If there is no spark, it indicates the ignition coil is damaged. Taking the 2020 Tiggo 3 as an example, it belongs to a compact SUV, with body dimensions of: length 4420mm, width 1760mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase of 2510mm, fuel tank capacity of 55L, and curb weight of 1358kg.

What are the reasons for the Honda Odyssey not moving when accelerating?

Below are the reasons why the Odyssey may not move when the accelerator is pressed: 1. Fuel system issues: After prolonged use, carbon deposits may form on the fuel injectors, leading to clogging. This could result in fuel line leaks, clogged fuel filters, and other fuel system problems. 2. Air intake system problems: The air filter among the three filters requires frequent cleaning or replacement. If the air filter becomes clogged or the throttle system is blocked, the air intake volume decreases, causing incomplete combustion and reduced power. 3. Engine misfire: Power issues are closely related to the engine. If the car shakes at idle or experiences insufficient power, it might be due to an engine misfire. In such cases, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection at a professional repair shop.

What is the general thickness of an oil film?

Lubricating oil film thickness is actually difficult to estimate. Generally, the oil film of high-speed machinery is slightly thicker, while that of low-speed machinery is thinner. The thickness of the oil film is generally in the micrometer to sub-micrometer range. For some precision machinery, the thickness may be even thinner, approximately a few layers of oil molecules, which is at the nanometer level. The following is relevant information: 1. Lubricating oil: Lubricating oil is a liquid or semi-solid lubricant used in various types of automobiles and mechanical equipment to reduce friction, protect machinery and processed parts. It mainly functions to lubricate, assist in cooling, prevent rust, clean, seal, and cushion. 2. Composition: Lubricating oil generally consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties. Additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, imparting certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil.

What Causes Engine Bearing Noise?

Engine bearing noise is caused by: 1. Excessive clearance between piston and cylinder wall; 2. Over-tight assembly of piston pin or connecting rod bearing; 3. Excessive clearance between tappet and its guide hole; 4. Wear of camshaft profile; 5. Loose starter claw causing pulley noise; 6. Severely loose connecting rod bearing cap bolts or complete melting/detachment of connecting rod bearing alloy. The function of an engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by pushing the piston through the expansion of gas after combustion in a sealed cylinder. Engine maintenance methods include: 1. Regular oil and filter replacement; 2. Using lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade; 3. Regular radiator cleaning; 4. Periodic cleaning of air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter; 5. Maintaining good crankcase ventilation with regular cleaning; 6. Regular fuel system cleaning.
