The auto start-stop indicator turning yellow indicates that the function is turned off, while green means the function is normally activated and operational. The start-stop system works by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle stops due to traffic congestion or at intersections. Below is additional information about auto start-stop: 1. Auto start-stop, or engine auto start-stop, is a system that automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal to stop and shifts to neutral, the start-stop system automatically checks three conditions: the engine is idling and not in gear, the anti-lock braking system wheel speed sensors show zero rotation, and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. If all three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops.

What Kind of Driver's License is Required to Operate Agricultural Vehicles?

Agricultural vehicles require a C3 driver's license. Below is relevant information about the C3 driver's license: 1. The C3 driver's license is a low-speed truck driving permit issued by the vehicle management office. With a C3 license, you can operate agricultural transport vehicles or light trucks with a length less than 6 meters and a total mass less than 4500KG. 2. A C3 license also allows the holder to drive three-wheeled vehicles covered under the C4 license. To obtain a C3 license, you need to apply at the vehicle management office, which will arrange for learning and examination. 3. The low-speed trucks covered under the C3 license were referred to as four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles before GB7258-2004. After GB18320-2001, they are defined as motor vehicles powered by diesel engines, with small tonnage and low speed, used for road transport.

Does Replacing the Oxygen Sensor Help with High Fuel Consumption?

There are many reasons for high fuel consumption in a car, and it's not solely due to the oxygen sensor. Simply replacing the oxygen sensor when experiencing high fuel consumption is an unscientific approach. The main causes of high fuel consumption include: 1. Engine carbon deposits: Excessive carbon buildup can affect the throttle's air intake, leading to engine stalling; carbon deposits can also adhere to the intake tract, reducing intake efficiency and worsening the air-fuel mixture. 2. Spark plug damage: Spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, and damaged spark plugs can result in insufficient ignition energy. 3. Oxygen sensor damage: The oxygen sensor, located in the vehicle's exhaust pipe, monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust. It is a relatively durable component, and new cars generally don't require replacement. 4. Delayed replacement of the 'three filters': Not replacing the 'three filters' in time can lead to clogging, causing incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, increased engine carbon deposits, and consequently higher fuel consumption.

What are the causes of steering column noise?

Causes and solutions for steering column noise: 1. There is a universal joint at the front end of the steering column. Sometimes, when the universal joint lacks lubrication, it can produce a clicking noise. In this case, the universal joint needs to be lubricated. Nowadays, car floor mats are almost standard equipment, and almost every car has them. Sometimes, the edges of the floor mats come into contact with the steering column, causing friction and noise when turning the wheel. 2. Noise from the steering wheel horn electrode friction. This type of noise is more common in cars without airbags, where the steering wheel only has a horn button. Since the horn switch moves with the steering wheel while the connecting wire below remains stationary, if the horn switch is still connected by wires, it can easily break when turning the wheel. To reduce friction, lubricant is applied to the electrodes. However, over time, the electrode contacts wear out, and the increasing contact area can produce noise. In this case, the fixed electrode needs to be removed, and the contact surface should be polished to make it smooth, which can eliminate the noise. 3. Noise from the steering wheel return lever. This is not a malfunction. The turn signal has an automatic return function. When the turn signal is turned on and the wheel is turned, the steering column hitting the return lever can produce a clicking sound, which is not a fault.

How to Turn Off Chevrolet ECO?

Switch to the ECO ON interface by pressing the square button below the dashboard brightness adjustment on the left side of the dashboard, then press and hold to turn off the ECO mode. Principle of ECO: ECO mainly analyzes and comprehensively judges factors affecting fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. In a few cases, there is no need to turn on ECO: 1. When the car is driving at high speed (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. 2. When a large torque output is required, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring and providing sufficient power to drive the vehicle, such as when climbing a hill. The ECO mode will automatically deactivate.
