New cars need proper maintenance and inspection when entering winter. Winter driving precautions: Due to lower temperatures, tire surfaces become stiff, affecting traction performance and potentially causing skidding. It's best to use winter tires in winter, and in some areas, snow chains may be necessary to prevent skidding and sliding. Additionally, tire pressure should be appropriately adjusted—neither too low nor too high—to avoid accelerated tire wear and insufficient braking performance. Add or replace antifreeze, which ensures the cooling system functions properly in summer to prevent engine overheating and protects against freezing damage to engine cylinders in winter. Also, check if the windshield washer fluid might freeze and promptly clear snow from the car after snowfall. New car maintenance precautions: Pay attention to the break-in period usage. When washing a new car, note that the surface usually has a protective film. Use a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning, avoiding rough tools like brooms. After washing, dry the car thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent water stains. Additionally, maintain the cooling system, such as checking and topping up the radiator and washer fluid.

What is the case of Buick Excelle failing to start with code P1631?

Fault code P1631 is defined in Chinese as an incorrect anti-theft program in the Engine Control Module (ECM). 1. Causes: The role of the anti-theft control module is to ensure that the car starts only when the dedicated key is present and matches various components. 2. Engine Control Module: Also known as the Engine Control Unit (on some vehicles, the engine control module and transmission control module are integrated into a Powertrain Control Module), it controls the operation of the entire engine. Its primary function is to control the optimal fuel injection amount and ignition timing. Another important role is to monitor components related to emission control.

What is the Driver's Head and Neck Protection System?

The function of the head and neck protection system is to protect the driver's head and neck from injuries caused by relative movement during a rear-end collision, thereby improving the driver's passive safety coefficient. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive safety: 1. Overview: Automotive safety is mainly divided into two major aspects: active safety and passive safety. Active safety refers to the ability to control the vehicle as smoothly as possible. Whether it's braking and accelerating in a straight line or steering left and right, the operation should be as smooth as possible to avoid deviating from the intended path without affecting the driver's vision and comfort. 2. Others: The scope of automotive safety technology is becoming increasingly broad and detailed, moving towards integration, intelligence, systematization, and comprehensive development. Strictly controlling speed during nighttime driving is a fundamental measure to ensure safety.

Are Car Door Shock Absorber Spacers Useful?

Car door shock absorber spacers primarily function to prevent contact between the suspension and the vehicle body. When the car corners, the shift in center of gravity causes the body to tilt, compressing the springs. The spacers then provide support, helping to reduce the vehicle's body roll. Below is additional information: 1. Composition and Function: Spacers are made from materials such as paper, rubber sheets, or copper sheets, placed between two surfaces to enhance sealing. They serve as sealing elements between static sealing surfaces to prevent fluid leakage. 2. Principle: Spacers are made from softer materials and are sandwiched between two surfaces that require sealing, making it easier to achieve the sealing requirements between the two surfaces.

What does it mean when winter tires exceed 50km/h?

The meaning of winter tires exceeding 50km/h is that driving at a speed not exceeding 50 kilometers per hour is safe. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. According to their usage, tires can be divided into: passenger car tires, light truck tires, truck and bus tires, construction machinery tires, off-road vehicle tires, agricultural and forestry machinery tires, industrial vehicle tires, motorcycle tires, aviation tires, special vehicle tires, bicycle tires, and electric vehicle tires.

Why is the warning light still on after patching the tire?

Tire pressure warning lights do not automatically turn off just because the tire has been patched and the pressure has been refilled. A tire pressure reset is also required. Generally, after repairing the tire and refilling the pressure, holding down the tire pressure reset button will clear the warning light on the dashboard. If the reset fails, it usually indicates that there is still a tire with insufficient pressure. If all tires have adequate pressure, a diagnostic tool must be used to read the fault codes. Tire pressure monitoring systems are divided into two types, as explained below: 1. Direct detection via tire pressure sensors inside the tire: The advantage is that the system can directly indicate which wheel has low pressure. 2. Detection via wheel speed sensors by monitoring subtle differences in wheel speed to trigger an alert: This simply activates a general tire pressure warning light.
