Why is the cruise control not responding when pressed?

It may be because the speed does not meet the requirements. Different models have different minimum speed requirements for activating cruise control. Some systems only work when the speed is above 30 km/h, while others require the speed to be above 40 km/h. Using cruise control: When using it, generally avoid setting a speed that differs significantly from the current speed to prevent rear-end collisions. You can decrease or increase the speed using SET or RES. Pressing the brake pedal or clutch pedal will temporarily deactivate the system. To completely turn it off, switch the control to the OFF position or turn off the ignition when the car is stationary. Cruise control should not be used on curves: In cruise control mode, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, with the throttle controlled by the onboard computer, which can often pose a danger when driving on curves.

Why is the car cooling fan not working?

The reasons why the car cooling fan is not working: the water temperature does not meet the requirements, or the relay is faulty. Water temperature does not meet the requirements: Most car radiator fans nowadays operate with electronic temperature control, so the fan will only start rotating normally when the water temperature inside the car reaches the required level. If the temperature is too low, the radiator fan will not turn. Relay failure: If the water temperature meets the requirements but the car radiator fan still does not work, it could be due to a problem with the fan's relay. If the relay is faulty, the car's radiator fan will also fail to operate.

What does the little red car mean?

A flashing little red car on the dashboard indicates that the car's anti-theft system is in operation. Normal phenomenon: When the car is turned off and the doors are locked, a red car-shaped indicator light on the dashboard flashes once every one to two seconds. This is a normal phenomenon, indicating that the car has entered the anti-theft state. Anti-theft system malfunction: If it flashes while driving, it means that a door is not properly closed; if the indicator light stays on constantly, it means there is a malfunction in the anti-theft system. Common faults of the anti-theft system: If there is signal interference in the parking location, the car may not respond to remote operations. In this case, move the car to another location and then lock it.

Does Car Wash at Gas Stations Damage the Car?

Early gas stations used plastic brushes for automatic car washes, which easily damaged the car's surface. Later, they switched to soft brushes. However, during the washing process, soft brushes might pick up dirt, and since every car is washed in the same cycle, it's unlikely that staff clean them daily. Because it's a free service, it's impossible to be as professional and meticulous, and this friction process could potentially harm the car. Introduction to Car Wash Machines: Car wash machines primarily use high-pressure water and computer-controlled brushes to automatically clean cars. Advantages of Car Wash Machines: Car wash machines are aesthetically pleasing, cause minimal damage to the car's paint, and are easy to operate. In recent years, they have been widely used in the automotive service industry. Typically, a high-pressure water gun connected to tap water is used in traditional car washes, combined with large towels and some detergents.
