When the natural gas meter displays 'valve closed', it means there may be insufficient balance due to unpaid fees, or it could be caused by low pressure or insufficient battery power in the electronic gas meter. The solution is to replace the batteries and reinsert the gas card to reopen the solenoid valve inside the gas meter, otherwise there will still be no gas supply. Reasons why the natural gas meter shows 'valve closed' despite having balance: 1. Insufficient pressure. The gas meter must close the valve when pressure is too low to prevent accidents. This requires contacting the gas supplier to resolve, as only they can control the gas supply pressure or repair the pipeline. 2. Low battery in the electronic gas meter. The electronic gas meter has an electrically controlled valve inside. It controls the valve opening based on detected pressure, automatically closing the valve when pressure is insufficient. However, when the battery is low, the detection probe malfunctions and the pressure signal becomes weak. The LCD display consumes very little power, so it may show normal readings with 'low pressure' displayed, and will close the valve when the battery level drops further.

What does the blue light on a car mean?

Car blue lights have two meanings: low vehicle coolant temperature and high beam indicator. Here are the detailed information about car blue lights: Blue coolant temperature light: Indicates the coolant temperature is too low. If it lights up blue when starting the car, it's normal and will turn off after the engine warms up; if it stays blue continuously, there might be an issue requiring inspection at a repair shop. The blue coolant temperature light indicates low temperature - it will turn off after driving for a while or idling until the temperature rises; red indicates high temperature and the vehicle should not continue driving. The blue or green coolant temperature indicator on the dashboard is a normal low-temperature warning light, showing the engine has just started and is warming up. Avoid aggressive driving during this period as low temperature can cause severe engine wear. The light will turn off when reaching optimal operating temperature. High beam indicator: When the vehicle's high beams are activated, a blue symbol will light up as a normal indicator.

What does 400cc mean for a motorcycle?

Motorcycle 400cc refers to the displacement of the motorcycle engine being 400 milliliters. 400cc represents the displacement, which is the cylinder volume of the engine, measured in milliliters. Displacement is a key parameter of an engine; the larger the displacement, the stronger the power, but the fuel consumption is also relatively higher. Additional information: 1. Chinese national standards and traffic regulations: Fuel-powered bicycles have a displacement below 30cc, 30-50cc are classified as light motorcycles, and above 50cc are considered motorcycles. 2. A motorcycle consists of five main parts: the engine, transmission system, running gear, steering and braking systems, and electrical instrumentation equipment. 3. The spark plug is a critical component of a motorcycle engine. The normal combustion of the air-fuel mixture is essential for the engine's proper operation. Firstly, each type of engine uses a different spark plug model, mainly differing in heat value and thread size, so it is crucial to use the specified spark plug type.

What is the wading depth of the CHR?

Wading depth is 700mm. The maximum wading depth refers to the maximum depth that can be safely traversed under safe driving conditions, also known as the safe depth. It is also an important indicator for evaluating a vehicle's off-road capability. The greater the maximum wading depth, the stronger the vehicle's wading ability. Wading depth: Under full load, the Prado has a minimum ground clearance of around 190mm. The Prado's maximum wading depth of 700mm is a relatively theoretical figure. It is recommended to wade in water up to around 600mm. Exceeding 700mm may cause water to reach connectors, sensors, and other electronic components, posing a risk to your property. Height of the air intake: The height of the air intake determines the vehicle's wading depth. The primary factor is the height of the engine's air intake, which is typically located slightly above the center of the side of the grille. If the air intake is below the water level during wading, water may be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Unlike air, water cannot be compressed.

What Does Comfort Access Mean?

Comfort Access is a feature that comes with a smart electronic chip key. It allows you to unlock the car doors without using the key and open the trunk automatically with a kick motion, eliminating the need for manual operation. When the key is on your person and you enter the sensing area, simply touching the door handle will unlock the car, making it very convenient without having to take out the key. Additional features: 1. Power Windows. Power windows are one of the standard features in modern cars. When you operate the power window switch, the window regulator automatically opens or closes the window glass. If an obstruction is detected while the window is closing, the glass will automatically lower a certain distance. 2. Power Sunroof. To enhance comfort and convenience, many modern cars are equipped with a power sunroof. The sunroof effectively improves air circulation inside the car, allowing fresh air to enter the cabin without the wind noise associated with opening the windows. Additionally, the sunroof provides a broader view, quickly removes interior fog, helps regulate temperature, reduces air conditioning usage, saves energy, and brings you closer to nature.

For Lavida Plus, with the ignition switch on, briefly press the OK button repeatedly to select the tire pressure display and 'Tire Pressure' function. Hold for about 3 seconds until a beep is heard, and the tire pressure monitoring light will be deactivated. 2. After changing tire inflation pressure or replacing wheels, a reset is required to clear the warning light. Turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the SET button of the tire pressure control system (the black button located on the front panel near the gearshift lever) until the indicator light on the dashboard illuminates. Confirm that the new parameters are stored and the light goes off, indicating the tire pressure light reset is complete. 3. Press the black stalk on the dashboard and turn the ignition key three times from off to position 2 (without starting the vehicle) to reset. If it's near the service time, try not to delay the maintenance.

Where is the drainage outlet of the car door?

Location of the door drainage outlet: The door drainage outlet is located at the lower part of the door panel, and generally, there are at least two drainage outlets per door. If water accumulates inside the door, it can cause damage to equipment such as the window regulator and audio system. Additional information: 1. Location of the trunk drainage hole: The trunk drainage hole is located below the spare tire. Since the trunk is generally not prone to leakage, the drainage hole is not frequently used. Usually, manufacturers seal the drainage hole, which can be unscrewed or poked open when needed. 2. Location of the sunroof drainage hole: The sunroof drainage holes are located at the four corners of the sunroof and can be seen after opening the sunroof. Each drainage hole is connected to a hose that directs water to the bottom of the car and drains it out. 3. Location of the engine compartment drainage hole: It is located at the air intake of the air conditioning system under the front windshield.
