Reasons for engine buzzing noise: 1. After starting the car, the engine makes a "buzzing" noise, which is the sound of the valves. This is especially noticeable when starting a cold engine, as the oil pressure hasn't built up yet and the valves aren't properly lubricated. It usually goes away after a short while. 2. If the car has been parked for a long time, this situation may occur. 3. The buzzing noise at low speeds is usually caused by excessive clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall, which can occur due to abnormal wear during installation if the components are too tight. 4. A buzzing noise can also be an early sign of engine knocking, which may be caused by advanced ignition timing or excessive carbon buildup in the cylinder. 5. This phenomenon can also occur during high-speed operation if the engine oil is not properly selected.

Does CarPlay Display WeChat?

CarPlay can display WeChat as long as it is supported. Here are the details: 1. Introduction: CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the United States, which seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. CarPlay only supports iPhone models with a Lightning interface. Although iPads also support this interface, Apple has not included iPads as hardware devices supported by CarPlay. 2. Features and Usage Tips: To activate the CarPlay system, connect your iPhone to the car's infotainment system via a data cable. The first connection requires authentication through the phone, but subsequent connections do not. Once connected, you can access common functions such as phone calls, music, maps, messages, and podcasts from your iPhone.

Is It Harmful to Always Drive in S Mode?

Always driving in S mode is harmful to the car. The S mode only delays upshifting without changing other operational aspects, which inevitably increases the transmission load in the short term and accelerates tire wear. Here is a detailed introduction about car gears: 1. Speed range: First gear corresponds to a speed of 0-5 km/h. Second gear corresponds to 5-20 km/h, third gear to 20-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-60 km/h, and fifth gear to 60-100 km/h. 2. Gear shifting timing: For most cars, the optimal shifting point is when the engine reaches 2000 r/min, and it should not exceed 2500 r/min. For some high-displacement, high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 r/min.

What is the amperage of the dash cam fuse?

The rated current of a dash cam is 0.8-1A. Generally, a 1.5-2A fuse is sufficient. The function of the fuse is to protect the circuit (wiring) and electrical equipment. When the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, it will blow within seconds to protect the circuit. The following are the installation steps for the dash cam fuse: 1. Open the fuse box cover; 2. Firmly pull the upper left and right corners of the fuse box; 3. The circled one is the cigarette lighter fuse, pull it out; 4. Insert the cigarette lighter fuse below and the dash cam fuse above; 5. Pry slightly at the circled area to open the side panel; 6. Pass the wire through the marked line; 7. The ground wire screw, a hexagon socket screw, can be installed successfully.

What is the temperature inside a car trunk in summer?

In summer, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside a car trunk generally ranges between 50-55°C. Here is some relevant information about car trunks: 1. Maintenance: Keep the trunk clean and properly use the mesh pockets on both sides. Most cars come equipped with these pockets to store items that may roll around, such as flashlights or small fire extinguishers. They don't take up much space, but it's not advisable to pile items together, as they may fall out of the pockets due to bumps during driving. 2. Precautions: Flammable and explosive items are prohibited. The interior of a car is a relatively enclosed space, and after being exposed to the sun in summer, the temperature inside can become very high. Storing flammable or explosive items in the trunk may lead to spontaneous combustion or explosion due to the high temperatures.

Is it normal to rev in neutral but not in gear?

Revving in neutral is normal while revving in gear is not, here are the specific details: 1. Reason: When revving in neutral, the vehicle load is very small, whereas revving in gear puts a large load on the vehicle, causing severe exhaust pipe resonance. 2. Revving in neutral: Although the gear is in neutral, the engine's power keeps the transmission input shaft rotating through the clutch. When you rev in this state, except for the output shaft and the synchronizers of each gear not rotating, components like the input shaft, countershaft (also known as primary and secondary shafts, though transmission structures may vary), and the constant-mesh gears on the shafts will change speed according to the engine RPM. Revving in neutral or coasting in neutral over long distances can damage the transmission, potentially leading to wear, burning, or noise in the input shaft bearings, synchronizer gears, and synchronizers.
