1. Failure to meet safety conditions; 2. The vehicle has not reached the ideal operating state. A battery with low charge or insufficient voltage can cause the auto start-stop to not work. This is because during engine shutdown, components like the engine cooling fan and interior air conditioning require power to operate. Engine coolant temperature being too high or too low can also prevent the auto start-stop from functioning. 3. The vehicle has not reached the driver's set conditions. When the interior air conditioning is on during summer, if the engine is turned off, the air conditioning's refrigeration compressor stops working. Once the interior temperature deviates significantly from the air conditioning's set temperature, the auto start-stop system will restart the engine. 4. Other situations. When driving at low speeds, if the speed does not reach 5 km/h after starting; or during repeated acceleration and deceleration with speeds below 15 km/h under certain circumstances.

What is a commercial vehicle?

Commercial vehicles refer to automobiles designed and technically characterized for transporting people and goods. Commercial vehicles include all cargo trucks and passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats, which are divided into five categories: passenger vehicles, cargo trucks, semi-trailer tractors, incomplete passenger vehicles, and incomplete cargo trucks. In the industry media, the concept of commercial vehicles is mainly defined by their different purposes, and it is customary to classify commercial vehicles into two major categories: passenger vehicles and cargo trucks. Commercial vehicle classifications: pickup trucks, mini trucks, light trucks, mini buses, dump trucks, cargo trucks, tractors, trailers, and special-purpose vehicles. Difference between tractors and cargo trucks: The tractor's cab and cargo box are separate, connected by a hitch, while the cargo truck's cab and cargo box are integrated and mounted on a single frame. Difference between semi-trailers and full trailers: There are two ways to connect a tractor and a trailer: The first is where the front half of the trailer rests on the fifth wheel coupling at the rear of the tractor, with the tractor's rear axle bearing part of the trailer's weight—this is a semi-trailer. The second is where the front end of the trailer is connected to the rear end of the tractor, with the tractor only providing forward pulling force to tow the trailer without bearing its downward weight—this is a full trailer.

What is the reason for the sudden loss of cooling in the BMW 530's air conditioning?

BMW 530 air conditioning suddenly not cooling may be due to air conditioning failure. The following are specific reasons and solutions: 1. Specific reason: Too much refrigerant can cause insufficient cooling. There is a certain requirement for the proportion of refrigerant volume in the air conditioning system. If the proportion is too high, it will affect the heat dissipation, that is, more heat dissipation means more cooling capacity; conversely, less heat dissipation means less cooling capacity. Similarly, if too much cooling oil is added during maintenance, it will also reduce the heat dissipation of the refrigeration system. 2. Solution: If no bubbles can be seen in the sight glass when the car air conditioning is running, and there are no bubbles after the compressor stops, it is definitely due to too much refrigerant. Simply pour out some of the refrigerant.

Why does the 4a91t engine have high fuel consumption?

4a91t engine has high fuel consumption due to its powerful performance. Here are the specific details about the 4a91t engine: 1. Models equipped: The 4a91t engine is widely used in models such as the Southeast Lingyue, Mazda 2, Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi, Zotye Z300, and Zhonghua FRV. 2. Performance: The 4a91t engine has a maximum torque of 215N.M and a power output of 115kw. The MIVEC technology used in this engine not only optimizes the valve opening timing phase but also changes the valve opening stroke to increase air intake. This allows for achieving low fuel consumption, low emissions, and high performance across a wide range of engine speeds.

What is the normal resistance of a car's outdoor temperature sensor?

The resistance of an outdoor temperature sensor is typically around 5kΩ. In most vehicles, when there is a malfunction with the outdoor temperature sensor, the dashboard will display abnormal temperature readings. This can lead to a distorted air-fuel ratio in the engine and may cause the air conditioning system to operate improperly or not at all. Related information is as follows: 1. Function: The car's outdoor temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature and transmits the detected temperature to the engine's ECU, converting it into an electrical signal. This determines the temperature setting of the automatic air conditioning system without manual intervention, adjusting the air conditioning to the most suitable temperature. 2. Normal temperature resistance: The outdoor temperature sensor, also known as the ambient temperature sensor, is usually installed near the front bumper or grille. Its sensing element uses a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. The detection method for the outdoor temperature sensor is the same as that for the coolant temperature sensor. Its resistance can be measured using the resistance setting of a multimeter. The normal resistance at room temperature should be between 1.6 to 1.8kΩ, with the resistance increasing as the temperature decreases. If the resistance value exceeds the specified range, it indicates an open circuit in the sensor wiring harness or poor contact at the connector, which can affect the normal operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system. Further inspection or replacement is recommended in such cases.
