This is caused by the belt slipping when it gets wet. Below is relevant information about car belts: Installation Location: In automotive applications, they are primarily installed between the car engine's crankshaft and components such as the camshaft, water pump, generator, air conditioning compressor, and power steering pump. Function: The engine drives various auxiliary mechanisms via belt transmission, including the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, and alternator. If the belt slips or breaks, the related auxiliary mechanisms will fail to operate normally, affecting the car's regular use. Therefore, it is essential to inspect the drive belt regularly.

What are the correct steps for parking on a slope?

Semi-clutch state, stabilize the clutch, stabilize the steering, and when reaching the parking point, press the clutch while simultaneously pressing the brake (the interval between clutch and brake should not exceed 2 seconds). It is not recommended to maintain a semi-clutch state while pressing the brake, as improper control of the semi-clutch degree can easily cause the engine to stall, especially for beginners who are not yet proficient. If the brake is suddenly pressed hard, the engine idle speed will become unstable, and if the clutch cannot effectively disengage, as the vehicle speed drops to zero, the engine will directly "stall." Therefore, it is recommended to press the clutch first and then the brake. Once proficient, both can be pressed simultaneously.

How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioning Recirculation Mode?

Start the vehicle to activate the air conditioning for cooling or heating. For automatic air conditioning, simply turn the adjustment knob, and the display will show the temperature. Turn on the A/C switch to activate the blower. Rotate the knob—typically, the left side is for cooling (blue indicator) and the right side is for heating (red indicator). Adjust the air circulation mode, which includes external circulation and internal recirculation. Use recirculation for cooling and external circulation for ventilation. You can also adjust the air vent direction to direct airflow toward the occupants, the windshield, or the footwell.

How far can the Fit go after the fuel gauge warning light comes on?

When the fuel gauge warning light of the Fit comes on, it can still travel approximately 15 to 20 kilometers. Precautions for using the fuel gauge: 1. Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel, as the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication. Insufficient fuel will adversely affect the normal operation of the fuel pump and reduce its service life; 2. It is not recommended to fill the tank completely when refueling, because gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into gasoline vapor under high summer temperatures, requiring space to accommodate this. In terms of power, the Fit is equipped with the L15B series 1.5L inline four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131. Additionally, there is the Honda eHEV version, featuring a powertrain composed of a 1.5L engine and dual motors.
