What does the REST function mean in a car?

REST in a car refers to the residual heat function, which utilizes the engine's residual warmth to continue providing warm air inside the vehicle for up to half an hour after the engine is turned off, after which it automatically shuts off. This function is particularly suitable for short-term parking and engine shutdown in winter, helping to maintain the interior temperature and prevent rapid cooling. When restarting the vehicle, there's no need to turn on the air conditioning system to reheat the interior. Additionally, there are several other buttons in a car: 1. The SEL button is a menu selection confirmation button, usually located on the multifunction steering wheel; 2. The AC button is the compressor switch, which controls the air conditioning cooling; 3. The MUTE button is for instant silencing; 4. The MODE button is for switching between different modes.

What is the method for throttle body matching?

The method for throttle body matching is: 1. Turn the key to the power-on position without starting the car; 2. Let it sit for 10 seconds, then fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold it for 15 seconds before quickly releasing it; 3. Turn off the ignition, remove the key, and let it sit for 15 seconds; 4. Start the car normally. There are traditional cable-type and electronic throttle bodies, whose function is to control the air entering the engine. Precautions for using the throttle body: 1. Clean the throttle body regularly, as excessive sludge can cause insufficient engine power and increased fuel consumption; 2. Apply oil to the fixed metal retaining ring before disassembly to prevent slipping; 3. After cleaning, if the throttle body maintains the same opening as before cleaning, it may cause excessive air intake, leading to engine shaking during startup and weak acceleration.
