difflock light flashing indicates that the differential lock is engaged. The method of using the differential lock is: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in muddy or slippery sections, press the differential lock switch while the vehicle is at low speed or stationary; 2. Release the accelerator pedal and steer appropriately until the indicator light comes on. The method to disengage the differential lock is: 1. When road conditions improve, release the accelerator pedal while driving at low or constant speed; 2. Press the differential lock switch and steer appropriately; 3. When the indicator light turns off, it means the differential has been disengaged. The function of the differential lock is to lock the planetary gear mechanism of the differential, rendering the differential ineffective, and turning the drive shafts on both ends of the differential into a rigid connection without any speed difference.

Can a tire sidewall punctured by a nail be repaired?

A tire sidewall punctured by a nail can be repaired. Here are some tire maintenance measures: 1. Tire pressure: If possible, keep a tire pressure gauge (mechanical pointer or electronic type will do) to regularly check your vehicle's tire pressure. For normal city driving, maintaining the recommended tire pressure value in the manual is sufficient - no need to deliberately increase or decrease it. 2. Spare tire: Many people overlook spare tire maintenance since some may never use it before scrapping their vehicle. However, it's better to be safe than sorry. Regularly check the spare tire's pressure and inspect for visible cracks on the surface. For under-mounted spare tires, occasional cleaning is also recommended to ensure it's functional when needed.

What to Do When a Motorcycle Battery Dies and Won't Start?

If a motorcycle battery is dead and the engine won't start, you can use the kick starter for a quick start. Below are the related reasons why a motorcycle may not start: 1. Low winter temperatures: Use the kick starter, and ensure the choke is fully engaged in normal conditions. During cold winter starts, move it to the topmost position, then adjust to the middle after about 15 seconds once the engine starts. After the motorcycle warms up, fully engage the choke again. This process typically takes three to five minutes. 2. Low idle speed: In summer, the idle speed should show one or slightly more notches on the gauge, while in winter, adjust it to between one and a half to two notches. 3. Faulty spark plug: Replace it with a new one. 4. Faulty carburetor: Clean the carburetor.
