The reasons why a car stalls when starting are: 1. Use of unqualified fuel; 2. Blocked fuel lines; 3. Faulty spark plugs; 4. Abnormalities in the fuel injector or fuel filter; 5. Poor contact in wiring connectors; 6. Insufficient driving skills; 7. Short circuit or power failure in the engine or car computer; 8. Releasing the clutch too quickly when starting or going uphill; 9. Low oil pressure from the fuel pump; 10. Poor operation of the idle speed control system. The solutions for a car stalling when starting are: 1. Clean the throttle body, intake tract, and fuel injector; 2. Inspect and repair the ignition coil; 3. Refuel; 4. Check the fuel pressure regulator and fuel lines.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When the Odyssey Drives on Uneven Roads?

Odyssey driving on uneven roads abnormal noise reasons are as follows: Damaged shock-absorbing spring plate or guide plate: When the vehicle is driving on uneven roads, the noise increases, and pressing the brake pedal reduces or eliminates the noise. This is due to damage, deformation, or detachment of the disc brake's brake shoe support plate, shock-absorbing spring plate, or guide plate, which increases the gap between the brake shoe and the caliper support frame, causing them to collide and produce noise. You can go to a repair station to fix the deformed parts or replace the detached ones. Excessive clearance in the front suspension ball joint: When the vehicle is driving at low speed on bumpy roads, the front axle area produces continuous clicking sounds. The worse the road condition, the louder the noise, and the noise intensifies with increasing speed. After stopping, forcefully shaking the front of the vehicle will produce abnormal noise. This is because the gap between the ball joint and its seat becomes larger and severely loose. Since the ball joint seat is a sealed structure and cannot be disassembled, the only solution is to replace it at a repair station.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Grand Commander in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Grand Commander is 70 liters, which is the officially published data. Owners who have purchased the Grand Commander can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Grand Commander requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 8.4-8.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can provide a driving range of 795 to 833 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel filled may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What are the functions of the Qashqai operation buttons?

Qashqai operation buttons include ESP, hazard warning lights, parking radar, etc. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Can be manually turned off in conditions like rain, snow, or muddy roads. Normally, keeping it on helps prevent skidding and tailspin. Hazard Warning Lights (commonly known as double flashers): Their function is to alert surrounding vehicles to prevent rear-end collisions. Parking Radar/Image: The central control screen displays images while the radar provides an alarm sound. Internal/External Air Circulation: Internal circulation means the air inside the car is sealed and recirculated, while external circulation allows air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. Use internal circulation in congested areas or environments with poor air quality. When using internal circulation for an extended period, switch to external circulation after no more than one hour to maintain air quality and health (except in extremely poor external conditions). Temperature Zone Synchronization: When the temperature zone synchronization function is activated, changing the temperature in the driver's seat will synchronize the changes in other temperature zones. Of course, when synchronization is turned off, each zone can be set individually to meet the needs of passengers in different positions.

Where Can I Repair the Car Display Screen?

Car navigation systems feature GPS global satellite positioning functionality, allowing drivers to know their exact location at any time while driving. With features like automatic voice navigation and optimal route search, these systems ensure smooth travel, while integrated office and entertainment functions make driving effortless and trips efficient. Here is additional information: Car Navigation: The built-in GPS antenna in the car navigation system receives data signals from at least three of the 24 GPS satellites orbiting the Earth. By matching these signals with the electronic map stored in the car navigation device, the system determines the car's precise coordinates and accurately positions it on the electronic map.

Why does the reversing radar of Arrizo 5 keep beeping after being rear-ended?

Arrizo 5's reversing radar keeps beeping after being rear-ended because there is an obstruction around the radar sensor. Below are the reasons why the reversing radar keeps beeping: Obstruction on the reversing radar sensor: If the reversing radar sensor has something stuck to it, it might be due to long-term use and poor environmental conditions, leading to accumulation of dust and dirt, which blocks the signal. Check if there is any obstruction in the radar holes at the rear of the vehicle. Leakage from the rear wiper hose: If the rear wiper hose leaks or water seeps into the reversing radar system, the sensor getting wet can also cause false alarms. Water ingress is mainly related to the quality of the sensor, but the possibility of cracks in the sensor cannot be ruled out. The solution is to seal the leak (or replace the hose) and drain any accumulated water in the radar system. Error in radar ultrasonic signal: An error in the radar ultrasonic signal can cause false alarms. Restart the engine and try reversing in an open area to see if the issue persists. Short circuit in the reversing radar wiring: A short circuit in the reversing radar wiring or a malfunction in the radar module can cause the issue. Visit a 4S shop or repair shop to inspect the wiring or replace the radar module.

Why is the rear space of the XC60 so small?

This is due to the design of the XC60, which features a typical long front end, large trunk, and short cabin design. Almost all models with a long front overhang tend to have limited interior space unless the body is extended. The spatial constraints are determined by the design orientation of the vehicle model. Additional information: 1. XC60: The Volvo XC60 is an SUV model under the Volvo car brand, making its debut at the 2008 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. This sport utility vehicle combines the performance of an off-road vehicle with the personality of a sports car, specifically designed for young elites who pursue dynamic characteristics. While inheriting the traditional design genes of the Volvo family, the designers have boldly innovated the exterior and introduced unconventional interior designs. It is also equipped with the world's first City Safety system, ensuring high safety standards. The launch of the all-new Volvo XC60 further highlights the strength and exceptional taste of the Volvo luxury car brand. 2. Exterior: The domestically produced Volvo XC60 largely retains the design of the overseas version, with identical exterior dimensions—length, width, and height of 4688/1902/1658mm and a wheelbase of 2865mm. The new car is built on Volvo's latest modular SPA platform.
