When the auto start-stop indicator turns yellow, it indicates that the function is turned off. If it's green, it means the function is normally activated. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. During red lights or traffic jams, the auto start-stop system minimizes engine idling time to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. Additionally, shutting off the engine when stopped effectively reduces noise and vibration, providing a better driving experience. Due to its significant energy-saving and emission-reducing effects, many automobile manufacturers now include this system as a standard feature in vehicles.

What does the triangle with an exclamation mark in the car mean?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to identify the issue.

What material is the Corolla fuel tank made of?

Corolla fuel tank is made of engineering plastic, a specialized material. The fuel type is unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher: The fuel tank is located at the rear left side under the vehicle with a total capacity of 55 liters. Before refueling, turn off the engine switch and ensure all doors and windows are closed. Toyota allows the use of ethanol gasoline with a maximum ethanol content of 10%, ensuring the octane rating of the ethanol gasoline used meets the above standards. It is recommended that owners consistently refuel at the same gas station: Because frequently changing gas stations may result in adding inferior quality fuel; especially when frequently mixing gasoline from the two major brands, Sinopec and PetroChina, due to differences in their processes, standards, and additives, mixing gasoline from these two brands can easily lead to carbon deposits and affect engine performance.

Where is the cabin air filter located in a BMW 328i?

The cabin air filter in a BMW 328i is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you will need to remove the glove compartment. Function of the cabin air filter: When driving with the air conditioning on, the car draws in external air into the cabin. However, the air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Without the cabin air filter, these particles can enter the cabin, not only contaminating the air conditioning system and reducing the performance of the cooling system but also causing allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and unpleasant odors, all of which can affect driving safety. Replacement interval for the cabin air filter: The replacement interval for the cabin air filter generally depends on the vehicle usage.
