Dry ice cleaning of carbon deposits does not harm the engine. In fact, compared to the impact of carbon deposits on the engine, carbon deposits are more harmful. Using dry ice to clean the engine can largely remove carbon deposits from the engine. Compared to lifting the engine cylinder head to clean carbon deposits, the maintenance cost is significantly reduced, and the degree of cleanliness is comparable. Precautions when cleaning the engine with dry ice: For rust removal: Dry ice cleaning primarily uses high pressure to disperse dry ice particles widely, thereby effectively removing dirt from the surface of objects and reducing surface wear. Particularly, the high-pressure impact can dislodge stubborn stains in crevices from the surface, achieving excellent cleaning results. However, due to these advantages, dry ice cleaning also has certain limitations when it comes to removing thick layers of rust. Worker safety concerns: The extreme cold of dry ice can easily cause frostbite, especially during dry ice cleaning when particles are ejected at a speed of 900ft/s, making it impossible for the human body to resist. Therefore, to better protect the safety of cleaning personnel, all protective equipment must be worn before operation. For example, durable gloves and full-face masks should be used to avoid exposing the skin, thereby preventing harm.

What does it mean when a car and a lock symbol appear on the dashboard?

The reason for a car and a lock symbol appearing on the dashboard is as follows: When a car and a lock symbol appear on the car's dashboard, it indicates the engine immobilizer system. The engine immobilizer system ensures that the engine can only be started with a system-recognized key. If someone attempts to start the engine with a key that is not recognized by the system, the engine will not start, thereby helping to prevent car theft. Additional information: Most of the control systems in modern cars are managed by electronic units, including the fuel injection system, ignition system, braking system, etc. The technology behind engine immobilization essentially shuts down or deactivates these systems until they are unlocked. Even if someone forcibly activates the starter motor in the engine, the EFI system will not inject fuel, and the ignition system will not function, making it impossible to start the car.

What to Do When the Seat Belt Buckle Won't Stay Latched?

Here are the methods to handle a seat belt buckle that won't stay latched: First, carefully check if there are any foreign objects inside the seat belt buckle to determine if they are causing the issue. If foreign objects are found, remove them and check if the buckle can be used normally afterward. Main structural components of a car seat belt: The webbing is a belt approximately 50mm wide and 1.2mm thick, woven from synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester. Depending on its use, the weaving method and heat treatment are adjusted to meet the required strength, elongation, and other characteristics of the seat belt. It also serves as the part that absorbs impact energy. Different countries have varying regulatory requirements for seat belt performance.

Can Temporary License Plates Still Be Used After Official Plates Are Issued?

They can be used within the validity period, but some road traffic regulations impose restrictions on vehicles with temporary license plates. For example, elevated roads in Shanghai have such restrictions. Additional Information: 1. New Traffic Rules for Temporary Plates: Starting from January 1, 2011, temporary license plates for passenger vehicles were changed from 1 to 2 plates, and the installation method was adjusted from "placing" to "pasting" in designated positions. One plate should be pasted on the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, where it does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be pasted on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. 2. Running Red Lights with Temporary Plates: According to the new traffic regulations, motor vehicles without license plates are not allowed on the road. New vehicles must display either official or temporary license plates to be driven on public roads. Starting from January 1, 2013, driving a motor vehicle without displaying a license plate, or intentionally obscuring, damaging, or not installing the license plate as required, will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points from the driver's license.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Teana?

The minimum ground clearance of the Teana is 132mm. The minimum ground clearance of the Teana refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance for the Teana improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The Teana is a flagship mid-to-high-end luxury sedan under the NISSAN brand. The dimensions of the 2021 Nissan Teana are 4901mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450 (1447)mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the Teana's ground clearance is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on variations in the Teana's load. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For well-paved urban roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For frequent travel to remote areas or driving on poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance may be preferred to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage.

What is the pressure when the car air conditioning is not turned on?

When the car air conditioning is not operating, the normal high-pressure side should be 1.3-1.7MPa (13-17kg/cm2 or 190-250Lbf/in2); the normal low-pressure side should range between 0.15-0.25MPa (1.5-2.5kg/cm2 or 20-35Lbf/in2). Below is relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Introduction to Car Air Conditioning: The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle compartment. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces driver fatigue, and enhances driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators to measure whether a car is fully equipped. 2. Disadvantages: When the air conditioning is on, it is best for passengers not to smoke inside the car. Since the air inside circulates in a relatively enclosed environment when the air conditioning is on, firstly, smoke is not easy to dissipate, and secondly, tiny particles in the smoke will adhere to the air conditioning intake filter, causing long-lasting odors in the car. It is recommended to regularly perform professional cleaning and deodorizing maintenance of the air conditioning system.
