Reasons why a vehicle fails to start after shutting down: 1. Throttle valve malfunction, which is often caused by excessive carbon buildup. When the throttle position sensor fails, it leads to inaccurate data reception by the sensor, resulting in excessively high engine idle speed and difficulty starting after normal shutdown; 2. Fuel pump failure, where the fuel pump fails to supply fuel properly. If fuel supply is interrupted, the engine will not start; 3. Faulty coolant temperature sensor. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a repair shop or 4S store for data monitoring; 4. Long-term use of low-grade or other inferior fuel. Severe cases can lead to carbon buildup on components such as the cylinder head and throttle valve. As carbon buildup on the throttle valve increases, it can significantly reduce the engine's air intake, making it insufficient for normal combustion.

How to Set Up a Hill Start Practice Area

The site specifications require a road width ≥7 meters, slope ≥10%, and slope length >30 meters, with a generally straight path. The positioning pole should be placed at a distance greater than 1.5 times the vehicle length from the base of the slope, and a parking line should be marked based on the positioning pole. Hill start and stop is an assessment point in the driver's test. Students are required to stop at a fixed position on a slope with ≥10% gradient and ≥30 meters length, primarily testing their mastery of the accelerator pedal, parking brake, and clutch pedal.

Differences Between the Facelifted and Non-Facelifted BMW 5 Series

Here are the differences between the facelifted and non-facelifted BMW 5 Series: 1. Difference one: Configuration. The facelifted 5 Series cancels LED fog lights across the entire lineup but comes standard with tire pressure monitoring. 2. Difference two: Exterior design. The domestic 530Li Exclusive Luxury trim adopts a new multi-spoke silver 18-inch wheel design. The imported 530i/540i M Sport trim and the three domestic 530Li M Sport trims uniformly switch to a new 19-inch multi-spoke wheel design, offering outstanding texture and sporty appeal.

How to Use Air Conditioning to Defog Windows on Rainy Days?

When the humidity inside the car is high, the windows are prone to fogging up. Turning on the A/C switch can effectively defog the windshield by dehumidifying the air from the vents. Do not use the defogging mode while the air conditioning is cooling. The temperature difference between the outside air and the windshield can cause the windshield surface to fog up. Turning on the air recirculation mode helps quickly lower the temperature inside the car and prevents outside air and odors from entering the vehicle. Using the recirculation mode for an extended period can cause the windows to fog up. If this occurs, switch to the defogging mode.

How to Check the Vehicle's Production Date?

Vehicle production date can be checked in the following ways: 1. Below the co-pilot side pillar. Open the door to see it below the co-pilot side pillar. 2. The upper right corner of the certificate of conformity. The production date marked on the certificate of conformity that comes with the new car can be precise to the year, month, and day, which is more detailed. 3. The factory paper nameplate on the front windshield of the driver's seat. This nameplate only shows the year and month, and it includes the vehicle's chassis number. Every car has its own chassis number when it leaves the factory. The chassis numbers of cars of the same brand and model are completely different. The tenth letter or number of the chassis number indicates the car's production date.

What are the correct steps for starting on a slope in Subject 2?

When parking on a steep slope, follow these steps in order: press the clutch, press the brake, shift to neutral, pull the handbrake, and then release the clutch. Note that the right foot should still be pressing the brake at this point. Move the right foot from the brake to the accelerator, gently press the accelerator to raise the engine speed to around 2000 RPM, and maintain steady pressure on the accelerator. Slowly lift the clutch to find the engagement point. You can determine if the engagement point is reached by listening to the engine sound—the engine speed will slightly decrease when the engagement point is reached. At this point, release the handbrake, and the car will start moving. Gradually release the clutch completely. After the car starts moving, maintain steady pressure on the accelerator and slowly release the clutch fully. At this point, the starting process is complete.

What does zone mean on a car?

The zone on a car refers to the air conditioning temperature zoning control, which allows setting different temperatures in different areas of the car to meet various needs. This means the left and right sides of the car's air conditioning can be set to different temperatures and airflow levels. Below is an introduction to air conditioning temperature zoning: 1. Function of air conditioning temperature zoning control. It provides a more comfortable environment for drivers and passengers, designed for passengers with different temperature needs, allowing setting different air conditioning temperatures and airflow levels in different areas of the car. Temperature zoning control is divided into dual-zone and multi-zone. Dual-zone refers to temperature control on the driver and front passenger sides, while multi-zone adds temperature control for rear passengers. 2. Working principle of air conditioning temperature zoning control. It involves adding more air vents to divide the air ducts into finer and more sections, which are then directed to different zones through several mixing vents, with each zone controlled by multiple independent controllers.
