Yellow smoke from the exhaust pipe is caused by a malfunctioning catalytic converter or poor fuel quality. Owners can take their vehicles to a 4S shop for repairs. Car smoke can be categorized into blue smoke, black smoke, white smoke, and yellow smoke: 1. Blue smoke from the exhaust indicates that the vehicle is burning engine oil. Check the oil level yourself; if you notice a significant drop, seek repairs promptly. 2. Black smoke from the exhaust means incomplete combustion of fuel in the engine cylinders. 3. White smoke from the exhaust is caused by a damaged seal in the engine's coolant circulation channel or a cracked engine cylinder liner, allowing coolant to enter the cylinder.

What to Pay Attention to When Entering a Gas Station?

Things to note when entering a gas station: 1. Follow the road to enter the gas station; do not park at the gas station entrance. After entering, park near an unoccupied pump to ensure a safe distance. 2. Do not start the engine while refueling, as it can be extremely dangerous. 3. Open the fuel tank valve before refueling; this is a necessary step. 4. Avoid any ignition operations in the car during refueling, including smoking, as gasoline is highly volatile and poses a serious risk. 5. After refueling, ensure the fuel cap is closed before starting the engine. 6. When leaving the gas station, be mindful of your turning angle to avoid scraping the left rear wheel against the fuel pump.

How to use the electric parking brake?

How to use the electric parking brake: To park the vehicle, simply press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, shift the gear into P position, and press the parking brake function button. When restarting the vehicle, shift the gear into D position, and the electronic parking brake will automatically release upon pressing the accelerator pedal. Alternatively, you can press the brake pedal and press the electronic parking brake switch to release it. The car's electronic parking brake, also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), is marked with a "P" button in the vehicle. Its working principle is the same as the traditional mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake to an electronic button.

What is the appropriate normal driving RPM for a manual transmission car?

Manual transmission cars generally operate at an appropriate normal driving RPM of around 1800 to 2000. The shifting RPM should be above 2500. After starting, when the speed reaches 20 km/h and the RPM is between 1500 and 2000, shift to 2nd gear. When the RPM exceeds 2000, shift to 3rd gear, which is equivalent to about 30 km/h. When the speed reaches 50 km/h, shift to 4th gear. When starting on flat ground with a manual transmission, the vehicle will not roll backward, so there is no need to use the brake-start method. Simply release the clutch to the semi-engagement point. Brake-starting, which involves starting the engine while pressing the brake pedal or using the handbrake and releasing the brake when the vehicle begins to move forward, can also be used to complete the starting operation.

How Often Should Tires Be Rotated?

Four-wheel rotation is generally recommended every 20,000 kilometers or so. Below is relevant information about tire rotation: 1. Most tires in the current automotive market bear more weight on the front wheels than the rear wheels. Prolonged driving under such conditions can easily lead to unstable tire pressure and imbalance among the four wheels. Therefore, rotating the tires can ensure that each tire experiences equal working conditions within the same lifespan. 2. Excessive duration of bearing weight can cause severe tire wear. When tires undergo single-sided wear frequently, increased load can also result in unstable tire pressure and imbalance among the four wheels, drastically reducing the tires' service life.
