Car thermostats should not be removed, otherwise the engine will struggle to maintain a normal operating temperature, which not only affects the engine's working condition but also reduces the vehicle's power. The effects of removing the thermostat are as follows: 1. After removing the thermostat, the engine's operating temperature will definitely be lower than before, affecting the engine's thermal efficiency and leading to issues such as insufficient power. 2. Secondly, the engine's warm-up time will be several times longer than normal, resulting in internal component wear that could even be dozens of times greater. 3. Due to the engine's excessively low operating temperature, fuel atomization will be poor, and over time, a thick layer of carbon deposits can easily form, which is very detrimental to the vehicle's fuel consumption.

How to Shift Gears with Mercedes-Benz Column Shifter?

To shift gears with the Mercedes-Benz column shifter, you can directly push the lever. When the column shifter is in P (Park), pushing it downward engages D (Drive), pushing it upward engages R (Reverse), and if it doesn't reach either position, it's in N (Neutral). Below is an introduction to the column shifter: 1. One button on the column shifter is for P (Park). Gently pushing the lever forward or backward engages N (Neutral), forcefully pushing it forward engages R (Reverse), and forcefully pushing it backward engages D (Drive). The parking brake is replaced by the P (Park) position, which is common in most vehicles. However, remember to press the brake pedal when shifting gears. 2. Column Shifter: There are two types of gear shift lever arrangements in cars—floor-mounted and column-mounted. The gear shift lever located below the steering wheel is called a column shifter.

How to Replace the Battery in a BMW X1?

BMW X1's battery is located in the engine compartment in front of the driver's seat. The battery replacement method is as follows: 1. Open the trunk and locate the battery position. 2. Remove the battery terminal protective cover and the fixing bracket nuts. 3. First disconnect the negative terminal, then remove the positive terminal. Since the negative terminal is connected to the car body, this prevents metal removal tools from accidentally touching the car body and causing a short circuit. 4. There are usually fixing devices around the battery. We need to remove all fixing devices before taking out the battery. To prevent electrolyte leakage, the tilt angle when removing the battery should not exceed 40°. 5. Replace with a new battery. Note that it is best to replace the battery without power interruption, otherwise the memory data on the dashboard will be reset, and personal daily settings as well as past driving data will all be restored to factory settings.

What Causes the Auto Hold Function to Be Restricted?

There are two main reasons why the auto hold function may be restricted: first, a brake function failure that prevents automatic braking, requiring manual intervention to brake. Second, a malfunction in the vehicle's auto hold system sensors. The solution is to turn on the ignition key, press and hold the foot brake, then push down the electronic parking brake for 5 seconds, followed by pulling it up for another 5 seconds. This will reset the electronic auto hold. Related details are as follows: Auto hold is an automatic braking function: When the auto hold function is enabled, it provides better driving safety for the owner. At traffic lights, the auto hold function simplifies the driver's operations. Once activated, it eliminates the need to manually engage the parking brake. For automatic transmission vehicles, it avoids the need to repeatedly switch between D (Drive) and N (Neutral) gears, making it convenient to use and enhancing driving safety. Difference between engine start-stop and auto hold: Engine start-stop is a default-enabled function, while auto hold must be manually activated—their control methods differ. Enabling auto hold after starting the vehicle provides better safety assurance while driving. Engine start-stop technology requires specific conditions to activate, typically engaging after the brake is fully pressed for two seconds. In contrast, auto hold activates immediately upon fully pressing the brake. When both functions are active, releasing the brake will engage the auto hold.

How to Remove the Brake Pads of a Toyota Crown?

Removing the brake pads of a Toyota Crown involves the following steps: 1. Remove the tire and loosen the caliper mounting bolts. 2. Take off the caliper and release the brake pad clips. 3. Remove the brake pads and use large pliers or a specialized piston-pushing tool to retract the caliper piston. 4. Install the new brake pads, secure the clips, and reassemble the new components following the original steps. Information about brake pads is as follows: 1. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking is decisively influenced by the brake pads. 2. Brake pads (brake-lining) generally consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards.
