The reasons why the engine warning light is on and the car won't start are: 1. Poor quality or substandard fuel; 2. Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle or engine; 3. Oxygen sensor failure. The solutions for the engine warning light being on are: 1. Use fuel additives to clean the entire fuel system; 2. After cleaning the engine, use higher-grade gasoline; 3. Use high-quality fuel additives to improve the cleanliness level of the fuel; 4. Replace the three-way catalytic converter. The function of the engine is: to convert the heat energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning the gas in a sealed cylinder to expand the gas and push the piston to do work. The maintenance methods for the engine are: 1. Regularly change the oil and oil filter; 2. Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade; 3. Regularly clean the radiator; 4. Regularly clean the air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter; 5. Keep the crankcase well-ventilated and clean it regularly; 6. Regularly clean the fuel system.

How to Steer When Exiting Parallel Parking?

First, park the car next to the parking space and adjust the distance between the car body and the parking line. The line should align with one-third of the front of the car. When the front wheels cross the line on the ground, slowly observe the left rearview mirror. When the bottom edge of the mirror touches the line, you can stop. Then, turn on the right turn signal, shift into reverse gear, and observe the right rearview mirror. When the right rear wheel aligns with the parking line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Finally, continue watching the left rearview mirror. As soon as the inner corner of the parking space appears in your view, immediately straighten the steering wheel.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of on-demand four-wheel drive on snowy and icy roads?

On-demand four-wheel drive has the following advantages and disadvantages when driving on snowy and icy roads: 1. Advantages: On-demand four-wheel drive provides better traction at high speeds, with less tire slippage under high torque. The four-wheel drive system also helps to some extent in suppressing side slips on slippery roads and improving vehicle tracking. 2. Disadvantages: Most on-demand four-wheel drive systems are limited by structural flaws when transferring power between the front and rear axles, unable to deliver more than 50% of the power to the rear axle, resulting in incomplete power utilization. Comparatively, the active safety of on-demand four-wheel drive vehicles is not as high as that of full-time four-wheel drive vehicles.

How to Accurately Find the 30 cm Distance in Parallel Parking?

When approaching the parking space, try to keep the distance within 30 cm. If too close, you may run over the inner line of the parking space; if too far, you won't be able to enter the space. Before ascending the slope, align the center of the steering wheel with the center of the slope. While going up the slope, focus on the right front door handle, especially as the car nears the top of the slope. After hearing the instruction, turn on the right turn signal, observe, slow down, and determine the stopping point. Then, turn the steering wheel to the right, ensuring the steering angle is not too large.

How to Align the Rear of the Car During Parallel Parking?

Before parking, assess whether the parking space can accommodate your vehicle based on the model you are driving. Adjust to an appropriate distance. Align your car parallel to the car in front, maintaining a 0.5m gap between the sides. When your right rearview mirror aligns with the middle of the car in front, prepare to reverse. Turn the steering wheel fully inward and start reversing. Continue until your car forms a 45° angle with the car in front. Straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. Stop when the right front of your car just passes the horizontal line of the rear bumper of the car in front. Turn the steering wheel fully in the opposite direction and continue reversing. Once parked, wait for the front of your car to straighten, then straighten the steering wheel.

Is 60-degree high temperature dangerous for gasoline?

If gasoline is stored in a car's fuel tank, 60-degree high temperature is not a problem. Here are the specific details: 1. Pay attention to material temperature: However, if gasoline is stored in a sealed container, exposure to high temperatures may pose safety hazards such as ignition or even explosion. Therefore, when choosing a gasoline container, attention should be paid to the material and temperature. Avoid storing or transporting gasoline under direct sunlight or in high-temperature environments to prevent safety risks. 2. Storage standards: Gasoline containers should be stored in a cool and ventilated place, ensuring they are tightly sealed (to prevent the leakage of volatile gases). When opening, always check for any deformation (to prevent spraying and potential injury).
