atoiltemp light is the transmission oil temperature warning light. Here are the relevant details: 1. When the light comes on: If it appears before inserting the key to start the vehicle, it's part of the self-check system and will automatically turn off after starting. 2. Meaning when illuminated: If the light comes on while driving, it indicates the transmission oil temperature is too high, and you should pull over to let it cool down. 3. Handling measures: This usually occurs during traffic jams or mountain driving. If it happens frequently, it's recommended to visit a 4S store to clear the code or upgrade the program. The existing active safety features in the vehicle's safety system ensure reliability during both normal road and off-road driving. When transmission oil temperature reaches 115°C, DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) will be set and information stored to assist technical analysis.

How to Use Auto Start-Stop Effectively?

Auto Start-Stop is a system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and restarts it when it's time to move again. Simply put, it's a system that can automatically control the engine's shutdown and ignition, abbreviated as STT. The usage of the Auto Start-Stop function is as follows: 1. Status: The car's engine auto start-stop system is in normal working condition. 2. Auto Shutdown: When you encounter a red light or stop for other reasons while driving, the engine will automatically shut off after pressing the brake for two seconds. 3. Start: When you're ready to move again, simply release the brake, press the accelerator, or gently turn the steering wheel, and the engine will restart.

What are the disadvantages of rear-wheel drive vehicles?

Rear-wheel drive vehicles often have unsatisfactory space performance, and their transmission efficiency is generally not as high as that of front-wheel drive vehicles. Therefore, rear-wheel drive vehicles tend to have poorer fuel economy compared to front-wheel drive vehicles. Below is some relevant information about rear-wheel drive vehicles: 1. Definition of rear-wheel drive vehicles: Rear-wheel drive, commonly referred to as front-engine, rear-wheel drive (FR), is a traditional drive configuration where the engine is placed at the front and the rear wheels are driven. 2. Advantages of rear-wheel drive vehicles: On well-paved roads during startup, acceleration, or climbing, the load on the drive wheels increases (i.e., the adhesion pressure of the drive wheels increases), making their traction performance superior to front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF) configurations. The weight distribution is more balanced, resulting in better handling stability and ride comfort, and it helps extend the lifespan of the tires. The engine, clutch, and transmission assemblies are located near the driver's compartment, simplifying the layout of the control mechanism. The steering wheels are non-driven, making the steering mechanism simpler and easier to maintain.

Where is the right front fender located on a car?

Car fenders, also known as wing panels, are located on the outer body of the wheel, specifically the semicircular area directly above the tire. Additional details are as follows: Fender Introduction: Front fender, front fender liner, front fender light, rear fender light, radiator frame. A fender is a type of cover part on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. As the name suggests, it is the outer shell that covers motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. It conforms to fluid dynamics, reduces the drag coefficient, and makes the vehicle run more smoothly. Fender Function: Not only does it reduce the drag coefficient during driving based on aerodynamics, which greatly enhances the stability of the car, but the presence of the fender also prevents sand, gravel, and mud splashed up by the wheels from reaching the bottom of the cabin, thereby protecting the car's chassis.

Why does the car's engine light turn yellow?

Reasons for the engine yellow light on the dashboard: 1. Sensor issues: Sensors include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine fault light. 2. Maintenance issues: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of engine faults. 3. Fuel quality issues: Fuel quality is the primary factor leading to the engine fault light. The engine has specific requirements for fuel quality indicators, especially as regulations impose increasingly stringent requirements on engines, demanding higher fuel quality standards. 4. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Faults in the engine's spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines can all lead to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Poor combustion results in engine carbon buildup or knocking issues, which are eventually detected by the engine's oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, naturally triggering the fault light as a warning. 5. Intake issues: If the car's air filter is not clean and not regularly maintained, it can affect the engine's air intake. Over time, this can lead to blockages and, in severe cases, cause the engine fault light to turn on. When the engine fault light turns on, it is advisable to promptly visit a repair shop to check the fault codes and identify the specific reason for the yellow engine light.
