Common vehicle warning lights include the tire pressure warning light, engine coolant temperature indicator, engine oil pressure indicator, and brake system warning light. Below is detailed information about these warning lights: Tire Pressure Warning Light: This light alerts drivers to abnormal tire pressure conditions. When illuminated, it indicates irregular tire pressure and reminds the driver to promptly inspect the tires. Engine Coolant Temperature Indicator: This displays the engine coolant temperature. If the temperature becomes excessively high, the vehicle should not continue driving and must be stopped immediately for repairs after the coolant temperature returns to normal. Engine Oil Pressure Indicator: This shows the engine oil pressure. During vehicle startup, this light will illuminate briefly then turn off. If it remains on or illuminates while driving, it indicates insufficient oil pressure. Brake System Warning Light: When this light activates, it signifies an issue with the vehicle's braking system.

I've been driving a Chery car for almost ten years, and there are quite a few common dashboard warning lights. The engine warning light, which looks like an engine icon, might indicate an exhaust sensor fault or fuel system issue when lit. The oil pressure light, shaped like an oil can, warns of insufficient oil or low system pressure. The battery charging light, displaying a battery symbol, means there's a problem with the charging system, such as a faulty alternator. If the ABS anti-lock brake light comes on, it can affect braking performance, especially on slippery roads. The airbag light indicates a potential failure in the airbag system, so extra caution is needed. The tire pressure warning light, featuring an exclamation mark inside a tire shape, alerts you to low or uneven tire pressure. There are also lights for doors not fully closed, handbrake engagement, and seatbelt reminders, among others. I've learned that these warning lights should never be ignored when they appear. It's best to slow down, pull over to check, or head straight to a repair shop for diagnosis. During maintenance, I also pay attention to whether these lights test properly, as keeping the car in good condition helps reduce unexpected issues.

As a new driver of a Chery, I pay special attention to the dashboard lights. The engine light is the most prone to illuminate, which could just be a minor sensor issue, but it might also signal a major engine problem. The oil light, resembling a small oil can, indicates that the oil is running low; the battery light coming on can easily leave the car stranded; the ABS light affects braking stability; the airbag light is related to passenger safety; and the tire pressure light warns of uneven tire pressure. I always glance at the dashboard before driving. The manual provides detailed explanations for each icon. It's advisable to take a photo of the manual's diagram or download an app for reference. Don't wait until the light stays on to address the issue. New drivers might panic easily, but developing this habit makes driving much safer.

As a car enthusiast, the warning lights on Chery's dashboard include the engine warning light, oil pressure light, battery charge indicator light, ABS brake light, airbag warning light, and tire pressure monitoring light. There are also door lights, handbrake light, and maintenance reminder light. Each icon corresponds to a specific system issue. The engine light often comes on due to emission problems, the oil light may indicate low oil level, and the tire light reminds you to inflate the tires. When a light comes on, priority should be given to power system-related issues such as the engine light, while others like the airbag light are also important but can be addressed slightly later.

Can the car battery be charged at idle speed?

Can the car battery be charged at idle speed? The car battery can be charged at idle speed, but the charging effect is not good. After the engine starts, the electricity generated by the alternator is mainly used to power the vehicle itself, leaving little remaining current. It is only when the engine speed exceeds 2000 RPM that the current becomes sufficient. Therefore, it is not recommended to charge the battery at idle speed. The car battery is charged by the alternator while the vehicle is running, so there is rarely a need for dedicated charging. However, if the battery is severely drained due to an unexpected situation, it should be charged promptly and not solely rely on the car's own charging system. Generally, after the car engine is turned off, the switches of related equipment inside the car should be turned off in time to prevent severe battery drain.

What are the tips for winter tire maintenance?

Tips for winter tire maintenance include: 1. Use an appropriate tire pressure gauge to check the tires frequently under cold conditions, at least once a month; 2. Maintain the tire pressure at the recommended level, as the vehicle's placard provides the suggested tire pressure levels. Keeping the proper tire pressure is an important way to extend tire life and durability; 3. Regularly visit a 4S shop for professional inspections to understand the tire wear and performance status, so any issues can be detected promptly; 4. After the vehicle is parked, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating them. Pay attention to cleanliness during inflation, and ensure the air being filled does not contain moisture or oil to prevent rubber deterioration and damage inside the tire; 5. If high tire temperature or pressure is noticed during normal driving, avoid splashing water and simply park in a shaded area.

How Long Should You Wait Between Two Gravity Oil Changes?

Gravity oil changes should be performed every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. This is because automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission fluid are different. ATF not only lubricates but also plays a crucial role in gear shifting. Prolonged intervals between changes can lead to poor lubrication, severe component wear, and shortened transmission lifespan. Additionally, it may cause harsh gear shifting sensations. Therefore, regular transmission fluid changes are essential, and the transmission filter should also be replaced during this service. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic fluid, is an indispensable component of the braking system. It acts as a force-transmitting medium within the system. Since liquids are incompressible, the pressure generated by the master cylinder is directly transmitted to the wheel cylinders through the brake fluid.

How to Evaluate a Car's Power?

The methods to evaluate a car's power are: 1. The strength of a car's power mainly depends on the engine power configured in the vehicle—the higher the power, the stronger the performance; 2. Check the peak power and peak torque. Whether it's a turbocharged engine or a naturally aspirated one, a car's power performance primarily relies on the values of peak power and peak torque; 3. Examine the transmission. A car with good power not only requires an engine with impressive parameters but also depends significantly on how well it pairs with the transmission, which affects the limits of power and torque; 4. Consider the dual-clutch transmission. Due to its structure of two sets of clutches, it offers advantages such as short shift times and minimal power loss; 5. Look at the curb weight. The curb weight, commonly referred to as the total weight of the car, is a reference indicator that consumers often overlook.

Why is it difficult to shift gears in an automatic transmission?

The reasons for difficulty in shifting gears in an automatic transmission are: 1. Operational issues, where the driver's incorrect operation and mismatched speed and gear can cause difficulty in shifting, which can be resolved as the driver becomes more familiar and proficient with the operation; 2. Clutch factors, such as rust on the transmission shaft, clutch failure, deformation of the clutch pressure plate assembly's drive plate, or excessive clutch gear self-locking force; 3. Transmission factors, including old transmission oil, transmission components not yet run-in, or insufficient viscosity of the gear oil in the transmission, leading to reduced lubrication effectiveness. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
