Clutch fork damage is indicated by difficulty or inability to engage gears in the transmission. Below are the specific manifestations of fork damage and methods for clutch maintenance: Specific manifestations: bending or deformation of the fork; cracks or fractures in the fork; damage to the fork pin; detachment of the fork from the fork shaft, etc. Clutch maintenance: Regularly check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir. If it is below the MAX mark, add fluid accordingly. Depress the clutch pedal and check for the following issues: weak pedal rebound, abnormal clutch noises, excessive looseness or heaviness of the clutch pedal. If any of these issues are found, the vehicle should be sent for repair as soon as possible. Inspect the clutch hydraulic control mechanism for leaks. Check the master cylinder, hydraulic lines, and working cylinder for traces of clutch fluid. If oil stains or rust are found on the clutch disc or pressure plate, clean them with gasoline and reinstall after drying. If the friction lining shows exposed rivet heads, cracks, burn marks, or if the lining thickness is less than 3.4mm, the clutch friction disc should be replaced. When operating the clutch, follow the principle of 'quick-slow-link': quickly lift the pedal at the beginning, slow down when the clutch starts to engage, and gradually lift the pedal until full engagement. While lifting the clutch pedal, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine load to ensure a smooth start.

What Are the Reasons for No Airflow from the Rear Air Conditioning Vents?

Reasons for no airflow from the rear air conditioning vents are as follows: 1. Air leakage at the connection between the evaporator case and the air duct: If there is air leakage at the connection between the evaporator case and the air duct, the cold air released from the rear air conditioning vents will continuously escape from the leakage point, resulting in reduced airflow from the rear vents. 2. Issues with the cabin air filter: The cabin air filter is located at the intake of the blower. All cold or warm air blown out by the car's air conditioning system must pass through the cabin air filter. However, the cabin air filter is prone to accumulating dirt. If the owner does not replace the cabin air filter in time, it can easily become clogged with dust, leaves, and other debris. This reduces the airflow passing through the filter, consequently decreasing the airflow from the rear air conditioning vents. 3. Poor sealing of the auxiliary air ducts: The rear air conditioning vents are connected to the blower via auxiliary air ducts. If the sealing of these ducts deteriorates, leading to air leakage, the airflow from the rear vents will also decrease accordingly.

What does traffic violation code 1356 mean?

Violation code 1356 means: Failing to slow down when passing through a pedestrian crossing. Article 47 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China states: When motor vehicles pass through pedestrian crossings, they shall slow down; when encountering pedestrians crossing the road, they shall stop to yield. When motor vehicles pass through roads without traffic signals and encounter pedestrians crossing the road, they shall yield. Article 3 of the Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations: If a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, 3 points will be deducted: Driving a motor vehicle through a pedestrian crossing without slowing down, stopping, or yielding to pedestrians as required. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The order from left to right is: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the scoring classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential codes, and the fifth digit indicates the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation under the Road Traffic Law. Second digit: Scoring classification code, indicating the points deducted for the traffic violation. Third and fourth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 points will be deducted, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation under the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with 1 indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with 2 indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with 3 indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with 4 indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with 5 indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with 7 indicate provincial, autonomous region, or municipal implementation rules, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with 8 indicate local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common methods to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic police departments in various districts and counties to query through touch terminals. Log in to the public service websites of local public security traffic management bureaus, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query. Call the hotline (area code + 114) to inquire. Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query.

Why is there a buzzing sound from the electric motor in the right rear wheel after turning off the engine?

This situation is normal. It is the sound of the exhaust pipe contracting, and the noise will disappear after a few minutes. Models equipped with electronic parking brakes may also experience this phenomenon, which is the sound of the electronic parking brake motor and is also normal. Here is some extended information: 1. Working principle: The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Thermal expansion and contraction of the car exhaust pipe: When the car is running, it burns gasoline, and through complex chemical reactions, part of the energy is converted into heat energy, which is discharged through the exhaust system. The muffler is basically at the end of this system and its function is to reduce the noise of the exhaust. The muffler has to withstand the impact of hot airflow when working, so it naturally heats up. After turning off the engine, due to thermal expansion and contraction, it will make a whirring sound for a while, sometimes quite loud, which is all normal.
