Here are the reasons why a car may not start after maintenance: 1. Weak Battery: The symptoms include the starter motor turning but not fast enough (lacking power), or the starter motor making noise without turning. Low temperatures in winter or forgetting to turn off certain electrical devices can prevent the car from starting, especially when used for short distances at low speeds for extended periods in winter, causing the battery voltage to drop below the rated value and preventing normal operation. 2. Blocked Fuel Flow: Avoid waiting until the fuel is almost empty to refuel. The symptom is no oil pressure in the engine fuel supply pipe. 3. Poor Ignition System Performance: The symptom is poor fuel atomization in the cylinder due to low intake air temperature, especially in very cold weather.

What Are the Impacts After Replacing the Car Body Shell?

There is no impact after replacing the car body shell. You can opt for original manufacturer parts or used parts. The majority of car body shells are made of metal materials, such as steel plates, carbon fiber, aluminum, reinforced plastic, etc. Different types of cars and different parts of the body use different materials. Generally, steel plates are used, while high-end cars like Audi use aluminum, racing cars use carbon fiber, and the hood of a Hummer H2 is made of reinforced plastic. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirror: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes; always check the rearview mirror before turning. For left turns, primarily check the left rearview mirror, and for right turns, check the right rearview mirror. Both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don’t focus solely on the front of the car: When driving on a clear road, look straight ahead at about 100 meters, avoiding staring at the immediate front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there’s no need to depress the clutch first; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing it. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly when making high-speed turns and quickly when making low-speed turns.

Is it necessary to install an anti-static strip on a car?

It is necessary to install an anti-static strip on a car, especially during autumn and winter when the air humidity is relatively low. Static electricity cannot be conducted and will accumulate on the car body. If an anti-static strip is installed, this situation can be avoided. Car static electricity is generated by the friction between the car body and dust in a dry environment. When people sit in the car, their clothes will inevitably rub against the car's interior, generating static electricity. If the car interior uses more chemical fiber fabrics, it is even easier to generate static electricity. While driving, if you encounter a static electricity attack without any precaution, it may cause excessive fright, leading to accidental traffic accidents. In addition, static electricity accumulated in the human body can harm health. Especially when refueling at a gas station, a car with accumulated static electricity can generate sparks between any nearby conductors, causing accidents.

What is the China IV Emission Standard?

China IV Emission Standard is the national fourth-stage standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), and PM (particulate matter). Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, this standard controls and reduces vehicle emissions to levels below specified limits. The China IV Emission Standard was established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent pollution from vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health.
