First, check if the car paint is severely scratched, and confirm whether it is actually scratched. Sometimes, the paint isn't scratched, but there might be something else stuck on it. In such cases, simply using some cleaner or coarse wax for a quick treatment will suffice. If there is a scratch but it's not very serious and the primer isn't exposed, you can also polish it or use coarse wax for a simple treatment. If the bumper is cracked, it can be repaired. Below is some related information about repairing cracks: 1. Large-area cracks: Not recommended for repair. Even if it can be patched up, it's difficult to ensure its buffering effect. In this case, it's necessary to replace the bumper with a new one. 2. The function of car bumpers: Car bumpers (also known as crash beams), located in most areas at the front and rear of the car, are designed to prevent damage to the vehicle's safety system caused by external impacts. They have the ability to reduce injuries to drivers and passengers in high-speed collisions.

According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", the motor vehicle inspection compliance label, insurance label, etc. should be affixed in the upper right corner of the front window. Below are specific introductions to these labels: 1. Motor Vehicle Inspection Compliance Label. 2. Compulsory Insurance Label. 3. Environmental Protection Inspection Compliance Label. Additional information: Below are the consequences of not displaying these labels: 1. Compulsory Motor Vehicle Insurance: Vehicles driving on the road without displaying the annual inspection compliance label as required will be penalized. 2. Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Label: According to regulations, failure to display the annual inspection label will result in a fine and deduction of one point. However, considering that the driver may genuinely be unaware, for the first offense of carrying but not displaying the label, the penalty will primarily be a warning and education. 3. Environmental Protection Inspection Compliance Label: This serves as proof that the vehicle meets national standards for motor vehicle exhaust emissions. Vehicles without this label are not permitted on the road, and if discovered, the traffic management department will temporarily confiscate the vehicle's registration and impose a fine.

What to Do If Fuel Consumption Increases After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

After cleaning the throttle body, fuel consumption may increase significantly in the short term. This is because the original carbon deposits on the throttle body are removed, leading to increased air intake and consequently higher fuel consumption. The situation can stabilize over time or be resolved by performing an ECU reset, after which fuel consumption will return to normal. More details about the throttle body are as follows: 1. Introduction One: The carbon deposits in electronic throttle bodies should be cleaned every 10,000 kilometers or when the fault indicator light comes on. Cleaning the carbon deposits can affect the vehicle's performance. Taking fuel-injected vehicles as an example, after cleaning the carbon deposits in the fuel system and throttle body, the vehicle may consume more fuel initially. The onboard computer requires a learning process to adapt to the engine's operating conditions post-cleaning, which typically takes about 1,000 kilometers. 2. Introduction Two: Generally, fuel-injected vehicles require an ECU reset after cleaning the throttle body. If this step is skipped, it may result in a significant increase in fuel consumption. The simplest reset method is to disconnect the battery for more than 30 seconds, preferably for one minute, before reconnecting it and driving the vehicle. 3. Introduction Three: Some vehicle models require a reset through the onboard OBD interface connected to a diagnostic computer. In such cases, the reset can only be performed at a 4S dealership or a repair shop equipped with a diagnostic computer.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Geely Jiaji in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Geely Jiaji is 60 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Geely Jiaji can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Geely Jiaji uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of approximately 600km. During daily driving, it is important to regularly monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the amount of fuel remaining. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer measures the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Why does the temperature gauge rise when the headlights are turned on?

Turning on the headlights causes the temperature gauge to rise because the reference potentials for the instrument panel and the headlights are different. Here are the details: 1. Influencing factors: The headlights have a separate ground wire (grounding wire) and power supply wire from the generator, while the temperature gauge and other instruments are powered by the positive terminal of the battery. Due to poor contact at the negative terminal of the battery, the power supply to the instruments is in a low state. Because the generator regulator and the headlight ground wire are functioning properly, the output reference voltage of the generator's voltage regulator matches that of the headlight side. However, the battery ground wire (grounding wire) may have a voltage drop due to poor contact compared to the generator regulator's ground wire. When the headlights are turned on, the generator load increases, causing the output voltage to drop. The voltage regulator then increases the output to normal voltage. At this point, the headlight voltage is normal, and since the generator has already increased the output voltage, the battery terminal voltage also increases accordingly. This results in an increased power supply voltage to the temperature gauge, causing it to display a higher temperature. 2. Reason: The difference in reference potentials between the instrument panel and the headlights causes the regulator's reference potential to change when the headlights are turned on or off. As a result, the regulator's output voltage varies across the two unequal potential loads.

Where Does the Condensation Water from a Car's Air Conditioning Drain Out?

The condensation water from a car's air conditioning system drains out through the air conditioning drain outlet, which is typically designed at the lowest point beneath the evaporator inside the cabin. The exact location varies depending on the vehicle model, but locating the evaporator inside the cabin will help you find the drain outlet. Below are some maintenance tips for car air conditioning systems: 1. Avoid randomly adjusting the air vent direction: Incorrect adjustment of the air vent direction can reduce the efficiency of the air conditioning. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and warm air rises, the correct approach is to point the vents upward when using the cooling function and downward when using the heating function. 2. Regularly start the air conditioning in winter: In regions with mild winters, some car owners may not use the air conditioning at all during the season. Prolonged disuse can lead to aging of rubber seals and drying of lubricants on internal components. Starting the air conditioning periodically ensures that all parts remain lubricated and in good condition, so it's best to run the air conditioning at least once a week during winter. 3. Avoid prolonged use of the air conditioning: Keeping the air conditioning on continuously after starting the car can increase the pressure on the condenser, causing wear and tear to the cooling system. Therefore, it's advisable to limit the duration of each use. If the cabin temperature reaches a comfortable level, turn off the air conditioning and restart it after a while. 4. Ventilate and cool the cabin before using the recirculation mode in summer: During hot summer days, many drivers habitually switch to recirculation mode immediately after entering the car, thinking it will cool the cabin faster. However, since the interior temperature is often higher than the outside temperature, this approach is less effective. Instead, open the windows to ventilate and use the fresh air mode first to expel the hot air. Once the cabin temperature drops, you can then switch to recirculation mode.
