JMC SVS light being on may indicate an issue with the engine or automatic transmission. Below are specific reasons and solutions: Engine fault: Fuel quality is the primary factor causing the engine fault light to illuminate. As is known, the anti-knock quality of gasoline is indicated by the octane number. The higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock quality. Therefore, poor fuel quality is the main reason for insufficient engine combustion, leading to the engine fault light turning on. Solution: Pull over to the side of the road or drive to the nearest service area and park. Observe the engine self-check light, check if the engine coolant temperature is too high, verify if the engine is low on oil, and observe whether the engine is running smoothly. Automatic transmission fault: Transmission slipping or lack of acceleration power: While driving, if you hear the engine revving without an increase in vehicle speed during acceleration, and the car feels sluggish, this is often caused by burnt clutch plates. Solution: This issue is difficult to resolve on your own and should be handled by professionals.

How to Deal with Yellowing Car Paint?

Maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle to prevent excessive dirt accumulation, as dirt can settle or corrode the paint surface, leading to irreversible damage. Purchasing a sunproof car cover is advisable; when the car is not in use for extended periods, covering it can protect against sun exposure and other potential damages. Regular waxing can effectively prevent oxidation of the car paint and, to some extent, delay the aging process of the paint. Essentially, this involves removing the oxidized and yellowed parts of the paint surface that cannot be washed away through polishing.

What Lights to Use When Driving Straight Through an Intersection at Night?

Under normal circumstances, only low beam headlights are required when driving at night. If the road ahead is completely dark with no street lighting facilities, high beam headlights should be used. However, if there is an oncoming vehicle, switch back to low beams in advance and wait until the oncoming vehicle has passed before deciding whether to use high beams again based on the situation. Relevant information about vehicle lights is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle lights refer to the lamps on a vehicle, serving as tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and as signaling devices for various driving indications. 2. Reverse Lights: Reverse lights automatically turn on when the driver shifts into reverse gear. These lights are white and transparent, primarily serving to alert other vehicles that the car is reversing.

Why is the car's cooling not working well?

There are several reasons for poor cooling performance of a car's air conditioning system: 1. Refrigerant leakage leading to insufficient pipeline pressure: During AC operation, refrigerant undergoes continuous chemical changes. Deteriorated refrigerant gradually corrodes various AC components such as seal rings and rubber hoses, resulting in refrigerant and compressor oil leaks. 2. Reduced condenser heat dissipation capacity: Prolonged driving leads to accumulation of oil, dirt or debris on the condenser surface, impairing its heat dissipation. Additionally, cooling fan malfunctions or loose drive belts can also reduce condenser efficiency. 3. Blocked air ducts or dirty AC pipelines: Set the blower to maximum speed and check airflow at the vents with your hand. If airflow is significantly weaker than before, air duct blockage is likely. 4. Extended use of external circulation: Running AC while keeping external circulation on draws hot outside air into the cabin, naturally reducing cooling effectiveness. During hot weather, switch back to internal circulation promptly after ventilation.

How to Turn On Low Beam and High Beam Headlights?

Push the switch towards the engine compartment to keep the high beam headlights on continuously; pull it back one notch to turn off the high beam and revert to low beam. Although the high beam can be activated with a simple outward push, there is a prerequisite for turning on the high beam: the low beam must be already on. When drivers are unsure whether they have activated the high beam or low beam, they can actually determine this by observing the indicator lights on the dashboard.
