When the car's windshield washer fluid is not spraying, the first consideration is whether the washer fluid has been depleted. It is necessary to check the washer fluid level through the dashboard or in the engine compartment and refill if it is low. If the washer fluid is not coming out, it could be due to a burnt-out water pump or clogged spray nozzles near the wipers. Below are some solutions related to windshield washer fluid issues: 1. No response from the motor: If the fuse is blown, the motor will not respond or work. Check the corresponding fuse and replace it if necessary. 2. Scale blockage: Frequently using tap water or homemade, substandard washer fluid to clean the windshield can cause internal pipes to become clogged with scale. 3. Weather factors: In cold weather, the washer fluid may freeze. After warming up the car sufficiently, try parking it in the sun to thaw. If it sprays afterward, it indicates the need to switch to a higher-grade antifreeze washer fluid.

How to Park an Automatic Transmission Vehicle on an Uphill Slope?

When parking an automatic transmission vehicle on an uphill slope, follow these three main steps: Step 1: Engage the handbrake. Step 2: Release the foot brake. Step 3: Press the foot brake, shift the gear to N (Neutral), and then to P (Park). If you engage the handbrake while still in D (Drive), the vehicle retains forward propulsion, similar to starting with the handbrake engaged. Additionally, when parking an automatic transmission vehicle on a slope, note that the P (Park) gear's locking mechanism relies on gear engagement inside the transmission. After parking, keep the foot brake pressed, engage the handbrake while shifting to N (Neutral), then release the foot brake to allow the vehicle to settle and the handbrake to take effect. Finally, press the foot brake again and shift to P (Park).

What are the differences between the 2016 and 2019 Tiida models?

The differences between the 2016 Tiida and the 2019 Tiida can be observed in four main aspects: First: Powertrain. The 2016 Tiida continues to use the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission. The 2019 model still features the HR16 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power output of 93kW and peak torque of 154Nm. Second: Transmission. Both models are equipped with a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission. Third: Exterior. As a mid-cycle refresh, the 2016 Tiida adopts Nissan's latest "YOUNG NISSAN" design philosophy, transforming into a youthful and stylish hatchback. The 2019 Tiida retains the same exterior design as the previous model but enhances its technological features, including the addition of Dongfeng Nissan's "Intelligent Mobility+" connectivity system. Fourth: Interior. The 2019 Tiida inherits the design of the previous model with some refinements, such as a front-and-rear sliding center armrest and the inclusion of the "Intelligent Mobility+" system. The steering wheel design remains unchanged, the seats are the same, and the spacious interior continues to be a highlight. The 2019 model comes with a non-full-size spare tire, while the 2016 Tiida is equipped with a full-size spare tire.

What Does Continuously Variable Transmission Mean?

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is a type of transmission in automatic vehicles, referring to a system that can continuously achieve any gear ratio within the transmission range. CVT allows for optimal matching between the drivetrain and engine conditions. To achieve CVT, three methods can be employed based on the transmission type: hydraulic transmission, electric transmission, and mechanical transmission. The difference between a CVT and a conventional automatic transmission lies in the elimination of complex and bulky gear combinations for speed variation. Instead, CVT uses only two sets of pulleys for speed variation, adjusting the speed by changing the contact radius of the belt between the driving and driven pulleys. Common types of CVTs include hydro-mechanical CVTs and metal belt-type CVTs (VDTcvt). Currently, more and more vehicle models in the domestic market are adopting CVT technology.

How to Renew a Temporary License Plate?

Temporary license plates can be reapplied for once they expire, but the vehicle management office may issue temporary license plates no more than three times. When using temporary license plates, the following three aspects should be noted: First: Local temporary plates can be extended up to three times, totaling a usage period of 21 days. Second: They can only be used within the city and must not be driven outside the designated area; otherwise, the vehicle will be treated as unlicensed. The procedure for extending the validity of a temporary license plate is the same as the initial application. The owner needs to provide identification, vehicle purchase invoice, new vehicle certificate, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, or import certificate and copies of relevant documents to the public security authority to apply for a temporary license plate. During the application, the starting and ending locations of the vehicle's use and the duration of the temporary plate must be specified. The process typically takes about one working day to complete and is postponed in case of holidays. Third: Expired temporary license plates must not be used on the road. If the vehicle has not been formally registered and continues to use an expired temporary license plate, it is equivalent to "driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a license plate."

Can You Drive Without Releasing the Electronic Parking Brake?

It is possible to drive without releasing the electronic parking brake. The electronic parking brake system is equipped with an automatic protection function. If the parking brake is not released when starting, the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage once the vehicle reaches a certain speed. Therefore, not releasing the parking brake will not cause harm to the vehicle. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical parking brake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. When parking, after the driver operates the electronic parking brake system button, the electronic control unit will control the motors integrated in the left and right brake calipers to act, driving the brake caliper pistons to move and generate mechanical clamping force, thus completing the parking process.
