When the engine fault light is yellow, it indicates a fault in the engine exhaust system. If the light turns off a few seconds after starting the engine, it means the system is undergoing a normal self-check. If the light remains on, there may be a fault in the exhaust system. If the light flashes, it indicates engine misfiring, which can damage the catalytic converter. When the engine (exhaust system) fault light is on, if the coolant temperature gauge and oil pressure warning light are not activated, the vehicle can still be driven, but it must be done cautiously at a slow speed, and you should seek the nearest auto repair shop for inspection. If the coolant temperature is too high or the oil pressure warning light is also on, and you clearly feel the vehicle malfunctioning, you should immediately pull over and request assistance.

What to Do When Your Car Gets a Dent?

If your car has been dented, it can be repaired through traditional metalworking. Here is more information about traditional metalworking repair: 1. Metalworking repair involves fixing the deformed parts of the car's metal shell. For example, if the car body shell has been dented, metalworking can restore it to its original shape. Then, by applying specialized paint, the deformed metal surface can be restored to match the undamaged areas. 2. Metalworking repair can effectively restore sharp and obtuse angle dents. Primarily, dents without chipped paint can be fully repaired, such as hail dents, while edges and AB pillars are more difficult to repair.

Why is the airbag seat not elastic?

The reason why the airbag seat is not elastic is due to air leakage in the airbag or blockage between the airbag and the air tube. Here is more information about airbag seats: 1. The airbag axle mainly uses air pressure to support the vehicle frame, thereby reducing many vehicle components and lightening the car's weight. 2. When the vehicle is empty, one axle can be lifted. Since the tire is raised and does not contact the ground, it can reduce driving resistance and lower the vehicle's fuel consumption. 3. Adjust the vehicle height. Since the airbag axle mainly uses air pressure to support the vehicle frame, adjusting the internal air pressure can regulate the height of the airbag, thereby adjusting the overall vehicle height.

What are the advantages of hatchbacks?

Here is an introduction to the advantages of hatchbacks: 1. Storage space: Compared to sedans, hatchbacks have a more dynamic appearance, are relatively easier to park, and offer more flexible and versatile storage space. Examples include models like the Golf, Focus, Polo, and Fit. Apart from their compact and refined exterior, the slanted or flat rear end makes them more maneuverable when reversing, allowing drivers to better gauge the distance between the rear of the car and objects behind. 2. Agile handling: Hatchbacks are very agile to handle because the rear axle is close to the tail, resulting in excellent tracking of the rear end on narrow roads and during high-speed cornering. For example, performance models like the Golf R and Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG, known as "hot hatches," owe much of their outstanding handling to the short rear end.

Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of the traffic law. The order from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit is the item number under the clause. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior category. For example: 13035—"1" indicates a motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 points, and the following "035" indicates the fifth item under the third clause in the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with 1 indicate motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 1003; Codes starting with 2 indicate non-motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 2002; Codes starting with 3 indicate pedestrian or passenger traffic, e.g., 3030; Codes starting with 4 indicate highway traffic, e.g., 4002; Codes starting with 5 indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005; Codes starting with 7 indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008; Codes starting with 8 indicate local regulations of cities (regions, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common methods to query motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches or teams in various districts and counties to query through touch terminals; Log in to the external service website of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation query, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114) to query; Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of stopping within the stop line or inside the intersection when encountering a stop signal, you can handle it through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After logging in, enter the violation processing business process, complete the handling, and make the payment.
