When a car's instrument panel displays a circle with three arrows pointing towards it, this is the vacuum warning indicator light. Below is relevant information: 1. Main reasons for vacuum warning light illumination: When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, this light should illuminate. When turned to the START position, it should turn off, which is normal. If this indicator light doesn't turn off, it may be caused by air leakage in the vacuum tube. In this case, braking may be dangerous, and it's not recommended to continue driving. Contact the nearest service station for inspection. 2. Indicator light names and corresponding symbols: Brake warning light; symbol is a red "!" inside a circle. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light; symbol is the yellow "ABS" text inside a circle.

How to Deal with Fog Inside the Car?

Solutions for fog inside the car include: 1. Keep a damp towel in the car and wipe away the fog when it appears; 2. If fog is caused by a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, open the windows to equalize the temperatures; 3. When the windshield fogs up, switch the air circulation system to external circulation; 4. Turn on the automatic climate control; 5. Spray an anti-fog agent on the windshield to form a protective film; 6. Turn on the air conditioner's cold air. Reasons for fog inside the car are: 1. Under certain humidity conditions, when the window temperature is below the dew point, condensation forms on the window surface; 2. A temperature difference on either side of the window causes the saturated vapor pressure on the cooler side to be lower than the surrounding environment's vapor pressure; 3. Moisture gathers on the glass surface, forming tiny water droplets that create fog.

What Causes Engine Piston Slap Noise?

The reasons for engine piston slap noise are: 1. Excessive clearance between piston and cylinder; 2. Incorrect piston installation direction or piston deformation; 3. Bent or twisted connecting rod; 4. Excessive carbon deposits in combustion chamber increasing diesel engine compression ratio; 5. Clogged lubricating oil passages; 6. Overly rapid combustion of air-fuel mixture. The solutions for engine piston slap noise are: 1. When engine temperature is normal but knocking sound exists, avoid high-speed operation and perform disassembly and repair as soon as possible; 2. Check whether the cylinder is severely out-of-round or scratched, and whether the piston-to-cylinder clearance is too large - replace cylinder liner, piston, and piston rings promptly if needed.
