The reasons for the rear wheels of a car locking up and not moving are water ingress into the brake drum and hard emergency braking. Below are the specific details: Water ingress into the brake drum: If the vehicle has been parked for too long, moisture has not been promptly removed after driving in the rain, or the brake drum was not treated after getting wet during car washing, the brake drum may rust, causing the gap between the brake drum and the brake shoes to disappear, leading to wheel lock-up. In cases where the brake shoes rust and cause the rear wheels to lock up, the owner should visit a repair shop to replace the brake shoes, which will resolve the issue of the rear wheels locking up. Hard emergency braking: During emergency braking, if the brake pedal is pressed too hard, the brake shoes may lock the wheels, meaning the brake locks the tires, and if the rear axle locks up, it may result in rear-wheel skidding.

What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Wuling dashboard indicate?

When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance or components and functions have malfunctioned. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line under a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets indicates a warning related to the braking system, such as brake system failure or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the braking system is required to avoid accidents.

What is the method for setting up the anti-theft system?

Anti-theft system setup method: Repeat three times, insert the key into the ignition switch, turn it to Keyon and then off, then remove the key; or open and close the driver's side door three times. After the horn beeps once, press any button on the remote controller twice, and the horn will beep once again. Wait for 15 seconds, and then it will beep four more times, completing the remote control reset. The car anti-theft system is designed to prevent the theft of the car itself or items inside the car. It consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuits, alarm devices, and actuators. Early car door locks were mechanical and only served to prevent doors from opening automatically while driving to avoid accidents, providing driving safety but not anti-theft protection.

After the combustion of the air-fuel mixture, it produces a large amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the temperature is too low, the water vapor condenses into water, which over time can cause the car's exhaust to produce a popping sound. The 10th-generation Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm.
