When AUTO is displayed on a car, it refers to the automatic function of the air conditioning system. Pressing AUTO turns on the air conditioning, which then controls the air outlet temperature based on the in-car sensors - providing warm air in winter and cool air in summer to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature. If the temperature becomes too high or too low, the system will automatically adjust both the air outlet temperature and fan speed to regulate the interior temperature. Vehicle dashboards feature various indicator or warning lights, including coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear position indicator, ABS warning light, traction control indicator, airbag warning light, and others.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning?

Here are the methods to reset the tire pressure warning indicator: 1. Reset the fault light to eliminate it. 2. Press and hold the SET button with the tire pressure symbol in front of the gear lever. If the tire pressure returns to normal, the warning light will be eliminated. 3. Press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button until the warning light goes off to reset it. 4. Reset it through the settings in the multifunction steering wheel or use a computer detector to reset it. The functions of the tire pressure monitoring system are as follows: 1. Prevent accidents. Safe driving is the most critical. The tire pressure monitoring system is an active safety device that can immediately alert when there are signs of danger in the tires, reminding the driver to take appropriate measures, thereby preventing serious accidents. 2. Extend tire lifespan. With the tire pressure monitoring system, the tires can always operate within the specified pressure and temperature range, reducing tire damage and extending their lifespan. 3. Make driving more economical. When the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, increasing friction resistance. When the tire pressure is 30% below the standard value, fuel consumption will increase by 10%. 4. Reduce wear on the suspension system. When the tire pressure is excessive, the tire's shock absorption effect is reduced, increasing the load on the vehicle's shock absorption system. Long-term use can cause significant damage to the engine chassis and suspension system.

Why Does the Vehicle Body Shake at Low Speeds?

Reasons for vehicle body shaking at low speeds: 1. It may be caused by incorrect dynamic balance data of the four wheels. It is recommended to check the dynamic balance of all four wheels. If the data is incorrect, it can be readjusted. 2. It may be due to wear or looseness of the wheel bearings on all four wheels. It is advised to inspect the bearings of all four wheels. If any are loose, replacement is recommended. 3. The tire treads on the four wheels may have bulges or unevenness, causing the vehicle to shake while driving. 4. There is a high possibility that the vehicle's front suspension system has issues, but the exact cause and specific faulty component need to be determined through an on-site test drive based on your vehicle's condition.

What is the maximum number of years to complete a driver's license?

The driver's license must be completed within three years. The following are the regulations during the study of subjects two and three: 1. Within the validity period of the study driving certificate, the number of scheduled exams for subject two and subject three road driving skills tests shall not exceed five times. 2. If the fifth scheduled exam is still not passed, the results of other subjects that have been passed will be invalidated. To schedule the subject two exam, the following regulations must be met: 1. For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and tram driving license types, the exam can be scheduled ten days after obtaining the study driving certificate. 2. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large truck driving license types, the exam can be scheduled twenty days after obtaining the study driving certificate.

What to Do If Resin Drips on Your Car?

Here are the solutions for removing resin from your car: 1. Use a specialized car wash liquid designed for removing asphalt to clean the resin off your car. 2. Laundry detergent has a mild and neutral property, which can quickly and effectively remove tar, asphalt, resin, and other sticky substances from the paint surface. Here are more solutions for resin on the car body: 1. If the resin on the car body is not severe, you can use hot water mixed with a small amount of laundry detergent and scrub the resin off with a brush. 2. You can use a cleaning agent to treat the resin, wash the car afterward, and then apply wax. 3. Use a volatile liquid like gasoline, soak a cloth with it, and wipe the resin off. After removing the resin, rinse the car body with clean water and apply wax for maintenance.

How to Check Tire Wear Condition?

Methods to check tire wear: 1. Generally speaking, the normal service life of tires is 4 to 5 years. 2. Aging areas mostly appear from the edges such as the tire sidewalls or shoulders, prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain will cause small circular cracks on the rubber surface. 3. Tires will naturally wear out. 4. The lifespan of tires is also greatly related to whether they are used normally in daily conditions. Below is relevant information about tire wear: 1. The service life of car tires directly affects the safety of drivers and passengers. 2. Everyone knows how dangerous a tire blowout can be while driving. Aside from blowouts, severely worn tires can also lead to poor traction and increased skidding risks. Combined with rainy or snowy conditions where low temperatures cause icy roads, this poses serious threats to our safety. Therefore, all drivers should take this matter seriously.

Where is the engine speed sensor located?

The engine speed sensor is generally mounted on the flywheel. Below is relevant information about engine sensors: Classification and functions of sensors on the engine 1. Crankshaft position sensor. The crankshaft position sensor is used to detect engine speed and provide the crankshaft angle. The ECU uses the crankshaft position signal to determine the fuel injection quantity and ignition timing advance angle, enabling the car to start normally. The sensor is installed near the flywheel. 2. Water temperature sensor. Used to detect the temperature of the cooling system. When the ECU detects high water temperature, it activates the radiator fan to cool the engine, ensuring the engine operates at an appropriate temperature. The sensor is installed on the engine water passage. 3. Intake air temperature sensor. Used to detect the temperature of the air entering the engine, mainly to adjust the fuel injection quantity. When the external temperature is too low, it increases the fuel injection quantity, and when too high, it reduces the fuel injection. It is installed on the intake bellows. 4. Intake pressure sensor. To form an appropriate air-fuel mixture, the air entering the engine must be precisely calculated. Most cars use the pressure value from the intake pressure sensor to determine the intake air volume. The ECU uses this data to determine the fuel injection pulse width and ignition timing advance angle. It is generally installed on the intake manifold.
