The meaning of on-road exhaust emission test not being determined is that the vehicle's exhaust emissions are non-compliant. Solutions for vehicles with substandard exhaust emissions are as follows: 1. Three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor: The three-way catalyst and front oxygen sensor. When the engine's air-fuel mixture burns incompletely, a large amount of carbon deposits will be generated. These carbon deposits will be discharged through the exhaust pipe and adhere to the interior of the three-way catalytic converter and the surface of the oxygen sensor. Therefore, cleaning the three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor can solve many vehicle exhaust non-compliance issues. 2. Clean or replace spark plugs: Faults in the ignition system such as spark plugs and high-voltage coils can also cause excessive vehicle emissions. Spark plugs are wearable parts and most prone to problems. Poor spark plug condition will lead to increased emission pollution. 3. Deep cleaning of the engine: If this situation occurs, and after confirming that sensors such as the air flow meter and temperature sensor are not faulty, then it is necessary to perform a major maintenance to clean carbon deposits in the engine. Cleaning the throttle, fuel system, intake tract, fuel injectors, etc. After thoroughly cleaning the internal carbon deposits of the engine, the engine's operating condition will also improve significantly.

What does the Buick Excelle 48v mild hybrid system mean?

Buick Excelle 48v mild hybrid system can be understood as a 48v mild hybrid. The 48v mild hybrid is an upgrade from the traditional 12v electrical system, solving issues such as high starting fuel consumption and low-speed vibration. However, the 48v mild hybrid is not a true hybrid in the practical sense, as the term 'mild' indicates it is merely a solution to reduce emissions and cannot achieve the fuel economy of a full hybrid. Currently, mild hybrid models on the market can be divided into two types: 'ISG motor' and 'BSG motor.' Among them, the ISG motor has relatively weaker functionality, mainly assisting with engine start-stop, while the BSG motor is more practical. The Buick New Excelle is equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system featuring a BSG motor. This system connects the engine and the motor transmission in parallel. When necessary, the 48V motor can provide sufficient torque to the engine, increasing the vehicle's power by 10KW and torque by 5-20NM during acceleration. During deceleration, it can convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into chemical energy to generate electricity for the motor.

Can You Suffocate from Sleeping in a Car with the Air Conditioning On?

Yes. Here are the relevant details: 1. Risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: When a car is stationary, the exhaust fumes do not disperse as they would while driving and can be drawn into the car by the air conditioning system, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. 2. Risk of Oxygen Deprivation: A car in a prolonged enclosed state will gradually deplete oxygen levels inside, making sleeping in the car potentially fatal due to suffocation. Therefore, sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on is unsafe. 3. Precautions for Brief Naps: 1. Park in an Open Area: Choose a spacious location to park, preferably with the front of the car facing the wind direction. Even if the engine is left running, the exhaust will be blown away. Parking in confined spaces like underground garages can allow exhaust fumes to seep into the car. 2. Crack the Windows: When sleeping with the air conditioning on, leave a 2-3 cm gap in the windows to prevent suffocation or carbon monoxide poisoning. However, avoid leaving too large a gap to deter potential intruders. 3. Use External Air Circulation: It is advisable to activate the air conditioning's external circulation mode while sleeping in the car. This mode draws in outside air, maintaining airflow inside the vehicle.

What is the name of the inner light on the Audi A6 headlights?

These two lights are called daytime running lights. In foreign Audi models, there is an activation function in the comfort system control computer, which can be turned on through the operation of the central control panel inside the car. However, in domestic Audi models, this function is disabled, and no current is supplied to these two lights, so they simply do not light up and only serve a decorative purpose. Below are the specific details of the Audi A6: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Audi A6 is a domestically produced luxury business car launched by FAW-Volkswagen. The car has a length of 5012 mm, a width of 1855 mm, a height of 1485 mm, and a wheelbase of 2945 mm. 2. Configuration: The Audi A6 features world-class brand products such as BOSE audio, TV, DVD, and refrigerator. 3. Powertrain: The Audi A6's multitronic continuously variable manual-automatic transmission uses a metal chain drive system, completely replacing the traditional gear set transmission method, ensuring smooth power output without any jerking, making it smoother than a conventional automatic transmission.

What should be paid attention to when driving a private car for long distances?

When driving a private car for long distances, the following points should be noted: 1. Tires: 1. Carefully inspect the appearance of each tire for any scratches. If it's just a rubber scratch, it won't affect usage, but if the inner tire cords are damaged, the tire must be replaced. 2. Thoroughly check the consistency of all four tires. Drive on a flat road without holding the steering wheel to see if the car moves straight; if not, get a four-wheel alignment done immediately. 3. Check the tread depth. Generally, when the tread depth is less than 2mm, the tire is not suitable for long-distance driving. 4. Measure tire pressure. The standard tire pressure is usually around 2.5 bar; avoid overinflation or underinflation. 5. Inspect the spare tire. Ensure the spare tire is in good condition and check if its pressure meets the standard. 2. Engine oil: Park the car on a flat surface, wait for the engine to cool, then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and pull it out again to check. The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick, not exceeding this range. Consider the climate of your destination. For example, if traveling to northeastern regions in winter, consider the viscosity of the engine oil and consult local service centers about whether a change is needed.

How to prevent rolling back when starting a manual transmission car on a steep slope?

The method to prevent rolling back when starting a manual transmission car on a steep slope is to apply throttle during hill start, release the clutch slowly, avoid prolonged acceleration with the throttle while the clutch is in a semi-engaged state, and follow the sequence of applying throttle before releasing the clutch. Steps to prevent rolling back when starting a manual transmission car on a steep slope: When the vehicle is in a parked and starting state, place your right foot on the throttle, depress the clutch pedal with your left foot, shift into first gear, and prepare to release the handbrake with your right hand. When the left foot quickly lifts the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged state, gradually increase the throttle. Pay attention to the close coordination of the clutch, throttle, and handbrake. When the clutch pedal is lifted to the semi-engaged position and the engine sound changes with throttle application, you can release the handbrake. If the car stalls on the slope and needs to be restarted, shift into first gear, pull the handbrake, and fully depress the clutch. Slowly lift the clutch to the semi-engaged state, then stabilize the clutch and gently apply throttle. When the front of the car lifts significantly, release the handbrake, and finally fully lift the clutch. Main reasons for rolling back during hill start: insufficient throttle application; improper timing of releasing the handbrake; poor coordination between throttle and clutch. For a hill start, first maintain the correct driving posture, pay attention to traffic conditions ahead, and avoid looking down.

What are the benefits of S gear?

S gear offers the following benefits: 1. Powerful power output: In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer time. This allows the car to travel at low gear and high RPM for an extended period, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Reduced carbon deposits: Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Therefore, using S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improving fuel economy and extending the engine's lifespan.
