What does it mean when a dripping kettle is displayed on the car dashboard?

When a dripping kettle is displayed on the car dashboard, it refers to the engine oil indicator light, which is used to show the oil pressure condition inside the engine. Proper oil pressure is essential to ensure that oil is delivered to all the friction surfaces of the engine. If the pressure is too high or too low, it can affect the normal operation of the engine and even cause damage to engine components. If the oil light comes on, you should stop the vehicle immediately to identify the cause and, if necessary, take it to a 4S shop for inspection. Reasons for the engine oil indicator light to come on: 1. Insufficient oil quantity reduces the oil pump's output, or air entering the pump prevents it from pumping oil, leading to a drop in oil pressure; 2. Overheating of the engine can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and resulting in a drop in oil pressure; 3. A clogged oil filter or oil suction screen can also reduce oil pressure.

What causes the central locking system of Excelle to jump?

The reasons for the central locking system of Excelle jumping are: 1. Water ingress in the wiring; 2. Damage to the central locking control unit; 3. Damage to the central locking system. To address the jumping issue in the Excelle's central locking system, it is necessary to visit a 4S dealership to replace the door lock control assembly and the central control module. The central locking system, fully known as the central control door lock, is an automotive component composed of the door lock switch, actuator, and controller. Taking the Excelle 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4468mm, width 1765mm, height 1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2611mm. The Excelle 2020 is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 79kW and a maximum torque of 133Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

What is the purpose of front wheel toe-in?

The purpose of front wheel toe-in is to eliminate the adverse effects caused by wheel camber, ensuring that the wheels do not roll outward, preventing wheel side slip, and reducing tire wear. The toe-in value can be adjusted by changing the length of the steering tie rod, with a general toe-in value ranging from 0 to 12mm. Wheel camber causes the left and right wheels to frequently exert opposing side thrust forces corresponding to the camber angle, increasing tire wear. To eliminate the side thrust forces, during wheel installation, the center planes of the two front wheels of the car are not parallel, with the distance between the front edges of the two wheels being less than that between the rear edges. The difference between these distances is the front wheel toe-in.

Where is the Roewe 550's cabin air filter located?

The cabin air filter of the Roewe 550 is located under the front windshield, directly opposite the passenger seat. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. Ensuring clean air in the cabin without breeding bacteria; 2. Separating solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air; 3. Ensuring the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. The Roewe 550 is a compact car launched by SAIC Motor. Taking the Roewe 550 2014 Manual Smart Selection Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4648 mm, width 1827 mm, height 1483 mm, with a wheelbase of 2705 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 62 liters, and a curb weight of 1485 kg.

What does the green light of istop mean?

istop green light indicates that the auto start-stop is in the active state, meaning the auto start-stop system can function normally at this time. Below is more information about the auto start-stop system: 1. The use of the auto start-stop system is subject to certain conditions, such as insufficient battery power, too high or too low temperature, wheels in a turning state when stopping, too steep a slope, seatbelt not fastened, etc. 2. The auto start-stop system (Start/Stop) automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again.

What Causes a Car to Pull to One Side?

Automobile direction deviation may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Insufficient tire pressure is one of the main causes of car direction deviation. Unequal tire pressure, mainly caused by inconsistent tire pressure in the drive wheels, can lead to different degrees of wear between the drive wheels and the ground if the left and right tire pressures are unequal. Different friction levels can directly cause the car to pull to one side. 2. Abnormalities in the car's steering system. Issues within the car's steering system can also result in direction deviation. 3. The use of tires with different tread patterns on the two sides or uneven wear on the tires. This situation can cause different friction levels between the tires and the ground, leading to braking deviation. Additional Information: 1. If direction deviation is noticed while driving, it is advisable to stop and inspect the vehicle immediately if conditions permit. 2. If stopping immediately is not possible, find a safe place to stop as soon as possible.

Can You Start the Engine in P Gear?

P Gear allows direct engine starting. The correct practice is indeed to start the engine in P Gear. Moreover, many vehicle models are designed at the factory to only allow engine starting when in P Gear, preventing ignition in other gears. Manufacturers implement this design for safety considerations. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Firstly, both P Gear and N Gear serve to disconnect the engine from the wheel transmission system. However, when in P Gear, a mechanical lever locks the output shaft, preventing vehicle movement to avoid rolling. 2. To put it simply: P Gear is essentially N Gear, but with the engine off, a vehicle in N Gear can be pushed freely, whereas a vehicle in P Gear cannot be moved.
