For hardware issues, the only solution is to take it to a 4S shop or a repair shop for servicing. For software issues, check whether the software has been upgraded or if the white screen is caused by the version. Of course, it could also be due to aging power signal cables, which you can try replacing. If the black screen issue is resolved, it indicates that the power signal cables were indeed the problem.

Last time I was driving, the display suddenly went white, which really freaked me out, so I thought about fixing it myself. My first instinct was to turn off the engine and wait a few minutes before restarting—often, if the system freezes, a reboot will fix it. Then, I got out of the car, opened the hood, and checked the connection cables behind the display for any looseness or oxidation on the plugs. I gently wiped them with a clean cloth and plugged them back in tightly. I also had to check the fuses—locating the one labeled for the screen in the fuse box—and if it was blown, I replaced it with one of the same rating. If that didn’t work, I tried disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few minutes and reconnecting it, which acts like a system reset and can resolve software issues. For regular maintenance, cleaning dust and avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight can help prevent this issue. If the screen still stays white, then it’s time to visit a repair shop. DIY fixes can save some money, but don’t force anything and risk damaging the parts.

What are the exhaust emission standards for automotive environmental testing?

Automotive environmental exhaust emission testing standards specify that the limit for carbon monoxide is 6.3g/km, and the combined limit for hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides is 2.0g/km. Automotive exhaust emission testing: The assessment is based on whether the smoke opacity value meets the standards, and whether the emissions comply with the standards is primarily determined by vehicle testing data. The smoke opacity value is used to confirm whether the vehicle meets the standards. Process of automotive exhaust emission testing: Computer entry of information, registration of vehicle details, and assignment of inspection lanes based on vehicle characteristics. Dispatchers will instruct staff to drive the vehicle to the designated inspection lane, during which dispatchers do not have the authority to change the inspection lane. The control room verifies whether the vehicle to be inspected has entered the correct inspection lane; without this confirmation, the next step cannot proceed. Exhaust emission testing is conducted by inspectors following prompts on the computer screen. Correct operation is essential for successful testing. The test results are compared with standard values, and then the results are uploaded to the server by the system. Finally, payment is made at the environmental testing fee counter. If the vehicle fails the test, it must undergo rectification before retesting. Vehicles that pass the test are issued an environmental certification mark.

How to Clean a Car Air Conditioning Filter?

Air conditioning filters easily accumulate dust. You can use tools like a blower or high-pressure air gun to remove loose dust, but never wash them with water as this may easily damage the filter. Here is some additional information: 1. Functions of the air conditioning filter: It filters dust, pollen, and other particulate impurities from the air; provides fresh air inside the car, preventing passengers from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, etc.; and effectively sterilizes and deodorizes, keeping the cabin air clean and free from bacteria. 2. Replacement interval: Car air conditioning filters need to be replaced regularly. Generally, they should be replaced every 10,000-20,000 kilometers or once a year, but this depends on individual driving habits, external environment, and seasonal climate. If you often drive in dusty or poor conditions, the filter will get dirty faster, so the replacement interval should be shortened. Additionally, air conditioning usage frequency varies by season, so the replacement interval may also differ. During spring and autumn when air conditioning is used less frequently, the replacement interval can be extended.

How to Solve the Problem of Mazda 6 Feeling Sluggish When Accelerating?

Mazda 6 Feeling Sluggish When Accelerating? The solution is to replace the spark plugs, clean or replace the fuel injectors, clean the throttle body, or replace the throttle body. Here are the reasons why the Mazda 6 feels sluggish when accelerating: 1. Carbon buildup: Carbon deposits include cylinder carbon deposits, throttle carbon deposits, spark plug carbon deposits, intake carbon deposits, etc., which reduce the ignition energy of the car, decrease intake efficiency, and ultimately lead to reduced engine power, resulting in sluggish acceleration and a muffled sound. 2. Fuel system: Adding an incompatible fuel grade (for example, using 90 octane instead of 93 octane) causes the car's output power to decrease and the power to reduce; or due to a blocked fuel tank vent, fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or partial blockage of the fuel line between the fuel tank and the carburetor, the required fuel supply cannot be met, leading to a lean mixture and sluggish engine acceleration. 3. Intake system: If the air filter is not cleaned in time after long-term use and becomes clogged, insufficient air volume will cause the combustible mixture to become too rich, resulting in reduced engine power. 4. Engine overheating: Insufficient engine oil, insufficient engine coolant, or engine cooling system failure will increase the engine load, leading to poor engine heat dissipation.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound in BMW 3 Series Brakes?

The reasons for brake squeaking in BMW 3 Series are as follows: 1. Use of inferior or overly hard brake pads: If inferior or overly hard brake pads are used, they will produce a squeaking sound when rubbing against the brake discs during braking. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and discs: During normal driving, it is inevitable to encounter complex road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand or foreign objects may get between the brake pads and discs, causing abnormal noises during braking. 3. Severe wear of brake discs: For new cars, a slight squeaking sound during braking is normal and should diminish with more driving. For older vehicles, the noise might be due to rust on the brake discs or pads, which can be resolved by removing them and sanding off the rust layer. If the brake pads are severely worn, they should be replaced. 4. Brake pad warning: There is no strict mileage requirement for replacing brake pads; they should be replaced once they become thin. Some brake pads come with electronic warnings, while lower-end vehicles use warning clips. When the wear reaches the warning line, a squeaking sound will occur, indicating the need for immediate replacement. 5. Incorrect installation of brake pads: If the brake pads are installed incorrectly or do not match the model, abnormal noises may occur. In such cases, the brake pads should be reinstalled. It is advisable to have brake pads installed at professional auto repair shops, especially for owners who have had them replaced at roadside stalls, as extra caution is needed.
