Whether to use internal or external air circulation in cold weather depends on the situation: 1. Internal circulation is mainly used when driving on general urban roads; 2. If driving on highways or long-distance routes, it is recommended to use external circulation; 3. Do not use external circulation in traffic jams, otherwise, the car interior may smell of exhaust fumes. In winter, the car's air conditioning is used almost daily, as it is a very important comfort feature in vehicles. When the car's air conditioning heats the cabin, the high-temperature coolant from the engine passes through the heater core, and the air blown by the blower also passes through the heater core, allowing warm air to be blown out from the air conditioning vents.

Does the Chery Ant second-hand car come with a warranty?

Chery Ant second-hand cars do come with a quality warranty. For second-hand Chery Ant vehicles, the warranty covers 5 years or 120,000 kilometers. The lifetime warranty for Chery Ant new energy vehicles is conditional. This lifetime warranty only applies to the first owner, and non-commercial vehicles are covered for the three-electric system warranty, which includes the motor, battery cell, and electronic control. In simple terms, the car's lifetime warranty means that if the vehicle itself has quality issues within the warranty period specified by the manufacturer, it can be repaired or replaced free of charge. The car warranty of 5 years or 120,000 kilometers covers specific items: the whole vehicle warranty means that various components can be replaced free of charge if they are confirmed to be damaged due to quality issues rather than human factors, such as the speedometer or air conditioning components. If these issues occur within the warranty period or the specified mileage, they can be repaired free of charge. The powertrain warranty refers to the engine and transmission. If these two components have quality issues, they will be covered under warranty, provided that the vehicle is regularly maintained at a 4S shop according to the maintenance manual. The whole vehicle warranty does not mean that every component enjoys the same warranty service; instead, warranties are provided for different components separately.

What Causes the Chery Engine Malfunction Light to Illuminate?

There are primarily 7 reasons why the engine malfunction light illuminates: Sensor failure: The sensors referred to here include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which triggers the engine malfunction light. Fuel quality issues: If fuel or engine oil is not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear, leading to the malfunction light illuminating. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or fuel line blockages can all cause poor combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: Problems with the intake turbocharging pipeline or turbocharger can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, high oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake issues: If there are problems with the vehicle's air intake, it may lead to engine pipeline blockages, and in severe cases, trigger the engine malfunction light. A dirty air filter that is not regularly cleaned can cause intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust system failures can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter issues, exhaust camshaft and bearing failures, with the catalytic converter being the most frequent culprit. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or engine fuel system failures can easily lead to catalytic converter problems. Anti-theft system failure: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally, while also causing the engine malfunction light to illuminate. If the engine malfunction light illuminates, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, whether there is shaking, black smoke, etc. If such issues are present, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will perform a self-check upon powering up. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the malfunction light on the dashboard turns off. If the malfunction light remains on, visit a service station as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. The service station can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, obtain fault information, and perform targeted repairs.
